lol...it's just the charger.
It's nice that with PbPs its much easier for people to do individual things or just derp around town without it really slowing down the game or affecting what the others are doing (usually) :)
Yep - as long as you get cohesive when you start 'adventuring', I'm not fussed about running multiple story-threads for people. It also gives me more to draw on later, which is nice for a more open-worldy sort of game.
You'll have to choose a single goal at some point though, or I'll run out of off-the-cuff NPC names! ;)
If we can combine hunting with anything, that would be coool. ;)
Been a bit quiet yesterday and today, hasn't it?
Nothing else for Rav to respond too until the storm passes and he can get back to the inn. Tomorrow is tracking down the lead on the guy.
Still here, just nothing to do until we all get back together after the storm.
Still here, just stuck at work. I'll update when I can!
So, does anyone who was not gone for the last week want to collate all our little adventure options? I remember something about a hard-to-reach temple with goodies in it, we've got the whisper Geralt overheard (which would require some investigation to uncover the actual thing behind it, I imagine), and... what else?
We have folks returning from 40 years ago...
People who disappeared years ago turned up again.
Ravboom's investigation to what was in the box.
Mal's hunting mission.
My fetch quest for a magical item(s).
And Zirul's mountain climbing thing.
I thinks that's pretty much it unless i missed something.
Joza had more, I think. We can probably manage more than one at a time...
Nah, Joza's thing was the disappearing-reappearing people :)
I don't know what we are suppose to be doing now, I guess Zirul can look for Hellen, but wouldn't know where to start.
We should focus on one thing at a time as a group. I guess we can do the missing persons thing, if we know how to go about it.
Why don't we have everybody get back to the inn for meal or something, and we can either roleplay making a decision or just make it here and summarize it in-game.
I think we're all headed that way now. :)
Actually I think we are all already in the inn. At least Zirul should be there by now as well as the rest of us.
I'm game for whatever we want to do; Joza latched on to the disappearing-reappearing people rumor because it's such an odd story but if properly nudged, she'd probably also be just as curious to learn more about the mysterious box and why those guys were willing to rob/destroy the train to stop it from arriving in town.
Geralt's immediate interest would be to investigate the events on the train. Everything after that would be more or less equal to the payment he's going to get.
Rav would want to figure out the train while he's looking for his bounty. He is rather cranky about people trying to kill him. He considers the train and the box to be the same mystery.
Okay guys, full disclosure time.
My recent posting has been erratic, at best, and I’m just writing this quick post to let you know why. It’s not that I’m dissatisfied with the games – they’re great, and I enjoy GMing for you. It’s just that my working life has become… a lot less fun than it was. One single co-worker is doing her best to make my life hell, including making accusations to my boss over my work ethic – completely unfounded, before anybody makes any snarky comments. ;)
She is just a terrible, terrible person – I’m not the only person in the area to have problems with her, just the latest in a long line, and it means that I’m heading out and drinking a lot more as well as trying to stay out of the office at work to avoid confrontations. Because of this, I’m simply spending less time at the computer – I’m sure as soon as things improve I’ll be back to regular updates, but I’m afraid I might be sketchy for a bit – at least until this either clears up or I just get used to having a hostile idiot trying to check me at every turn.
So there – full, unpleasant disclosure. Sorry guys – I hope it gets better.
Horrible co-workers making your life hell, I've been there too, it sucks. In my job, sometimes it is also stuck up managers, though I really can't say I've had co-workers make false accusations or managers, just ones that give me and everyone a hard time and try to look like the heroes.
Condolences.
Sorry to hear about the troubles.
If we're going to investigate the box, I think we need to find the gentleman you roughed up, Rav... ;)
Police or hospital or Guild, one of the three will have him.
Sorry to hear that Gatsby, hope it manages to resolve or at least get better soon.
Yikes, I can sympathize; hope it reaches some sort of resolution and soon! Until then, post when you can (and feel like it) - we'll be here :)
Had a somewhat similar problem myself. Toughed it out and I'm still here and the other persons gone. Hope it works out for ya.
I think we should investigate the box. I'd like to know why the train got attacked and the box seems like our best bet.
The box it is - thy will be done!
*boop*
Just checking in; hope everyone had a good weekend :)
Ugh... sorry for another big gap - but things are actually beginning to look up, and I've spent some time ensuring that I'll have free time over the next few weeks to relax - PBP. Expect a semi-regular update schedule again, just like the old days!
Barring a meteor strike, or something of that nature.
Meteor Strike?
Not on my spell list. *grin*
But it is on mine... ;)
So that's why rocks fall and everyone dies ;)
You know, I was just thinking that.
If you're not careful I'll stick a meteor in somewhere as a plot point. Then you'll be screwed. ;)
That would make the second PBP game I'm playing in to feature Meteor Trouble! Those guys have a lot of nerve >:(
Full update later today, hopefully - parent/teacher days have been eating my time. :(
So, you are are teacher? Or do you mean you are the parent?
No worries; assuming schools there are on any sort of schedule similar to the ones here, this time of year is always really busy for teachers!
@Zirul - I believe he teaches overseas somewhere, possibly in Japan?
*edit* I say 'overseas' in the assumption that the rest of us are in the US but forgive me if that isn't the case :)
I'm in the US, but Jack I think is in Canada, but Canada is part of the North America continent.
Nah I live in between the border of the us and canada in the first nation of akwesasne.
Suddenly wishing that Geralt were the type to barge his way into whatever gold the party comes by. ;)
Jack, I almost thought you were being silly until I decided to utilize Google/Wikipedia. It's a good day when I can learn something new like that!
I hope this game doesn't drop, it is one of the few I'm in where I know what is going on and the players aren't starting quarrels with me.
As long as you don't try any more blatant shenanigans! (or get caught in less-blatant ones, I suppose).
But yeah, I'm with ya. I've gotten into three campaigns so far and two were dead within the first 2-4 weeks. This one seems to be on the brink. Haven't even gotten a character to level 2 yet!
I said players, not characters, I understand this is all roleplay.
My character was proving a point that the man in the shop shouldn't be sleeping on the job, which Jack caught.
I had one that lasted a while. we started out with eight and ended up with 4 of us left by the end then it just ended. hope this one doesn't end up like that one. This one has been fun so far just wish it wasn't so hard to find some healing.
Eight? Yeesh, that's a gigantic group. I'm planning on GM'ing a campaign later this year and I'm planning on a group of three - four at the most. Of course, I like to eventually have my players roll up a second character to control, so the actual character list gets bigger than the player list.
I hope this game doesn't die either; besides actually enjoying the game, I've got a soft spot for this one because it was my first PBP ever!
