Into the West (Inactive)

Game Master Simeon

GM to GM where do you get those combat maps and tokens roll d20?

There are a ton of free maps on google images, which is where I’ve found most of the maps. There’s a deviantart account who’s name I’ve forgotten that does terrain maps like the one from the chupacabra battle. As for the tokens, I’ve really just been using google images to find pictures.

So... I seem to be going to Disney the 28th to the 3rd. Short notice, we cancelled my wife's 40th birthday to take a trip.

So cancelling the birthday to go to Disney, does that mean you wife stays 39?

:-)

Have a fun time!

Is there a grapple Coup de grâce? I guess not but I would love to go up and just try to snap a neck.

Oh and yes she stays 39 AND we get to ride rides so its a win, win win.

As of 4:30am tomorrow I will not have an actual computer with me. Phone and iPad only so please bot me as needed. I will return to normal activity on the 4th or 5th.

sort of an odd question for the map, are there doors on the rooms? Does there appear to be locks?

Right now only Angus and Zaranna are in the building, has anyone else moved in?

There are no interior doors so far, and the front doors had no locks.

Thank you, it didn't look like there were doors, but I thought I would ask. I was hoping we could just lock them in there rooms :-)

Get better Coyote, were not going anywhere

Since these seem like personal items not adding them to the loot sheet unless someone thinks I should.

Definitely very personal items in my opinion. You'd pretty much have to use force to take his away from him :-)

My posting will be spotty between now and the 15th while I am moving. Packing up the truck today, and should be in Utah and able to post again consistently (hopefully) around then.

Please bot me as needed. I might be able to post in the interim, but just not sure when, and can't guarantee it. Sorry.

having some personal issues will not likely be posting for a couple days.

Take the time you need. Real life comes first.

Take your time GM_Solspiral, the worst thing that will happen is we will all take turns going on buffalo rides...

I'm in my new place. Still need to unpack, but should be mostly back to normal by tomorrow.

I'm going to a family reunion for the next three days, my posting will be spotty and I will be posting at irregular times. Please 'bot' me as necessary.

Hey all, I'll be camping without much, if any signal. Please bot me if I'm playing in a game, or if I'm GMing, just sit tight for a few days until I'm back.

Flying to Vancouver in the morning to help my brother. Not sure if I will have a chance to post from there or not, so might be essentially offline until the 4th. Apologies for the late notice. Please bot me as needed.

Have fun in Vancouver

just remembered a viable option, we purchased four pack horses, the priestess could ride one of them...

Sounds good to me.

I'm posting this in the games I play in

I wanted to explain my drop in posting rate.

Previously the majority of my posts happened while I was at work. I worked third shift at a treatment facility. I used the boards as a tool to help keep myself awake. I have recently left that job and am now looking for employment.

I'm trying to balance RL responsibilities with the games I'm in, but I no longer have eight hours that I'm sitting at the computer looking for something to do. Between the stress of RL and attempting to find a balance in schedule the quantity and quality of my posting rate has suffered.

I'm planning on staying in the games I'm presently in and I appreciate everyone's patience while I figure out how to make it work.

I am moving to Texas next week, and won't be able to post for sure Monday-Thursday, and it just depends on what is going on whether I will be able to post the rest of the week. Hopefully will be back up and normal on Monday the 29th latest, since I start my new job that day, so things have to be resolved at least that much.

Please bot me as needed.

Merry Christmas to those who celebrate it! I've been rather busy with family and festivities but I should have some time to get a post up tomorrow.

I began playing pathfinder four and a half years ago here on-line. It has been a wonderful time but I believe that journey has ran its course and come to an end. I am in a dozen games and I feel that those I have been playing with deserve an explanation for my decision to leave the games at this time.

When I started playing I was working nights; alone, bored and able to post for several hours a day. Posting at work was the perfect opportunity to be involved with others and create together. I was able to check the games regularly from home as well, due to fewer responsibilities at that time.

In October I left that job and have started working at a call center where I am talking to people all day long. Not only has my ‘posting time’ been cut to almost nothing. But the time I spend communicating with others has increased exponentially. Also, my RL responsibilities have increased significantly. Both mine and my wife’s mothers have been diagnosed with dementia and we spend a couple hours a day caring for them.

My posts have become shallow, my characters one dimensional. I am not happy with how I am playing, nor with what I am getting accomplished in RL with what little ‘down time’ I have. I appreciate the stories we have shared together. I know the games will continue, I will read along when I can. I wish everyone good luck and a good year.

GMCoyote, thanks for running a Western, I always wanted to play a gunslinger.

It's been my pleasure to run for you. A shame you won't be able to come with to the end of the journey, but I'm glad you could make it this far.

For the rest of the party, this brings me to a few points. First, I apologize for my lack of posting since Christmas, I've had family visiting which has resulted in far less downtime than I would've had otherwise. Secondly, I don't think I'll have time to manage another recruitment for this game so I have a question for the players. Would you all be amendable to continuing as three, either with the difficulty scaled back or me running Teiuc as an NPC.

No worries about not posting during the holidays. I think we have all been busier than usual. I fly back tomorrow morning, so hopefully will get back to normal soon.

I am good with whatever you prefer to do.

So I'm in a bit of a bind. It seems we only have two remaining players, which makes the prospect of running the last few combats rather difficult. That's been a main reason in my slower posting rate, as I'm just not sure how to carry the story forward. If you all would be amenable to it, we could conclude the story purely through narrative, though I understand it may not be as satisfying. As the players, your input is quite valuable, so how would you like to proceed with this?

Im sorry guys. I kind of lost the spark for this character so have been coasting, much more then I even realized. Its been to long since a post but I did not think old John Thomas had much to say.

I did not realize how long it had been. I will happily hop back in.

I'm okay with concluding the story through narrative. I'm in it for the story anyway, so it's all good. :)

I'll wait a little bit longer to see if Guujaw has any opinions and gather my thoughts together before I start the conclusion.

Given that Guujaw hasn't said anything, I'll take it as an agreement. I don't have a tremendous amount of time today but I'll have something up tomorrow beginning the conclusion.

Thank you so much for sticking with me through all of this. Completing a play-by-post is no small feat, and I couldn't have asked for a better group to come with me on my first play-by-post experience.

Though a bit hard at times, I'm proud to have been able to be your GM for these past few years.

Thank you, once again.

Hey GM Coyote, just wanted to jump in and thank you for running the game. I'm sad I had to bail on you but glad you were able to finish the story. Thanks for giving Angus a mention at the end, it felt right.

Zaranna and Guujaaw thanks for sticking to the end, I hope things go well for all of you.

Great story Coyote, and thank you so much for finishing the story even when the game fell apart and people left. It is so nice to find out what happens next, even if we can't play it out. :)

All the best,

Z
