Hysteresis Loops: The Gion Cover Up (Inactive)

Game Master Terquem

Eat, drink, be merry!

Checking in.

Looking forward to starting this one!

Here!

So, I'm rather proud of the fact that Jimmy-boy will later actually be able to have mystical dreams. Makes the title of Dreamer more apt.

I'm here as well. This should be interesting...

That's assuming you live long enough, Jimmy... and based on the GM's already-manifest evil predilections, I'd put your chances as "not very good". ;) (I'd put all our chances there, actually. 'specially with no healer.)

Yeah... Jimmy is pretty squishy at the moment. He'll start hitting like a truck soon though.

Oh yeah - I neglected to ask - anyone wanna use Evil Lincoln's Strain/Injury rules for HP?

Could you provide me a link to look at it?

Haven't read through them... I'll go do that.

Edit: Huh. Sounds interesting -- I'd be willing to give it a go. In the same vein, do you have any house rules we should know about? :)

Basically its how I always do HP now in my real games

Just finished reading through the whole doc. Sounds good to me. Do you use the massive damage optional rule?

I'd be willing to give it a shot

I haven't given it a full read, but at a quick glance, it looks fine by me. Let's give it a shot.

"Ryko my friend, good to see you again!"

Link doesn't work for me. Says it doesn't exist.

"Kyan! I've been worried," Ryko says, looking over Kyan carefully. "You seem...okay. Have you made a full recovery then?" His voice is somewhat doubtful.

Try this one.

Works for me

I see. That mechanic is fine with me.

When we expecting to kick this off?

Now. I use massive damage yes.

1d20 ⇒ 18

Any other optional or house rules we should know about?

hrmmm not really. I'll wrack my brain and try to remember if I need to use anything else.

Agh, synchronous sequential events... so confusing!

Oy vey... getting started on the time-traveling early, are we? :P

You guys are killin' me. No wait... that's the other guys.

Life is a series of WTF moments. ;)

Not sure how I feel about the metagaming going on...

It's that, or Ryko and Kyan sit in limbo until things are resolved.

Plus, this way the party comes together as a unit.

If the GM doesn't like this line for Ryko and Kyan, they can say so, and we'll just go for a simple walk around the block and then crash back at the inn.

Lolol it's fine... juuuust fine.

Also - please excuse my recent distance. One helluva week.

Welcome back, GM!

Bump?

Maybe he's just busy with Christmas? :/

*taps the mic* Hello, is this thing on?

Paging GM Ghastlee, GM Ghastlee your presence is requested in your pbp game.

PM'd him just under a week ago... haven't heard back.

Oh well.... :(

Maybe he'll come back in a week or so, after things settle down from the holidays?

Don't suppose anyone else has an Azlant-based homebrew you'd like to run for us?

How many of you are still around?

Seems like this adventure was originally started due to another thread in which the players were looking for a GM for some sort of homebrew Azlant-based game... my thought is that if the group is up for it, we might be able to find ourselves someone willing to run a similar adventure for the group.

Edit: Kyan's here, and I'm in other games with Krevek and Jimmy. Will PM Ryko, then write up a "GM Recruitment" thread.

Yup, I'm here, cursed and all. :D

Just heard back from Ryko; he won't be able to join us due to RL. I'll go ahead and post a new recruitment note a bit later, and link it here... hopefully we can get a few good GM applicants and all decide who we'd like.

Recruitment thread is up here. Come on by and interrogate--I mean introduce yourselves to--the potential GMs! (That is, assuming we get any bites.)

Apparently Jimmy has too much on his plate and will not be joining us.

I think it's still worth a shot... getting a GM is always harder than getting players, anyway. Thoughts?

I am all for giving it a shot

Hey guys. In case you missed it, Terquem is interested in learning more about what we're expecting from this game, as a potential GM.

Stop by that thread and post your thoughts.

Already done

Kyan – there is a possibility that you were trying to capitalize on information that your character would not have known, but let’s let it go for now, and call it a bad dream. Please be careful in the future and if you have questions on the way a player manages “player knowledge” versus “character knowledge” please ask about it in the discussion thread.

I was leading us out for a walk to give the GM a chance, if they wanted to, to bring the party together as a cohesive unit. If the GM would rather we not encounter the fight, then we just walk through the streets for an hour, and then return to the inn and sleep.

Kyan is new to Absalom, so it's all still new and exciting to his country bumpkin self. :)

Okay, fair enough, that was a noble intention, but can we call it a dream instead? I've got an idea for Ryko that kind of neccesitates him, and you, not meeting up with Refan, just yet.

You're the GM, I was just providing a thread you could weave in if you wanted.
