Jammin's Takeover Way of the Wicked

Game Master YanJieming

This goes to all my games: I'll probably be MIA until the 8th. Please forgive my absence and take any actions that seem appropriate to my character.

To all of my games:
A family emergency had just arisen. I will be unavailable for the next little while. I hope to have everything resolved and to return in a week. I am sorry for any inconveniences this causes.

Family comes first. I wish you the best.

No problem we can wait.

Things are finished now, though not as I had hoped. I lost a major part of my life and as such, have had to reevaluate some peons of my life. I regret this, but I must withdraw from most of my campaigns, including this one. I simply do not have the time to dm anymore. Thank you for the game. I wish I could continue this, but I how you can find an excellent replacement instead.

It's all good man.. Hope everything turns out ok for u..

Well chaps it seems we are doomed to not finish this book.. Shall we reach out for a new GM again?

I'm up for that.

I'm in! And wow, I took a while to reply to this. Sorry.

Well ive been out for Thanksgiving and stuff.. Ill try to get a recruitment up today somtime..

I'm back fellows. What a bad luck we have...

This is certainly Vlad's fault with all his mojo...

Anyway, on the good side, I think a friend of mine might take the reins here, are you up for it guys?

I know I am.

If you trust him Walter then I'm okay with it.

Har Har..

Still for it of course! For some reason this thing isn't giving me any notices when it updates, like it used too. Will have to check it manually now... What? Stop looking at me like that!

*Staring Intensifies*

Any word from your friend? And would we pick up where we just left off?

Hey, how are you guys?

Here is the 'said friend' that Walter mentioned.
I’m willing to take over this game, but before reaching a final decision, there are some things we must understand:

First: I’ll confess that I don’t quite like min-max characters. I see the game as a cooperation between DM and players, and thus, the Idea of min-maxing is not appealing to me, because it’s the player saying that he does not want to cooperate, and that he’ll do things the way he wants, without considering the other aspects of the game. (That is my personal opinion about it, I’m not pointing fingers or accusing anyone.)
So, if you decide to let me take over the game, I expect a game a bit more focused in the game itself than the mechanics behind it.

Second: English is not my natural language. I try my best to avoid errors and such, but I do speak English as if I was speaking Portuguese. Grammar errors will happen, even tho I do my best to avoid it.

Third: I respect players opinions and inputs, and I try my very best to treat everyone with respect, as they deserve. I do expect to be treated in the same manner.
I know each of you is probably an experienced DM, but if you agree to game with me, you are too agreeing to abide to my DMing style. If you think that the DM should do things in another way, or if you think I’m doing something unreasonable, you are free to express your opinion, but in the end, the final word will be mine.
Why this? I’m aware of the situation you had with DM Edwin a couple of months ago, and I don’t want a situation like that.

Last: Here is an example of my DMing style, I would not be using the rolls house rules, and if you read into it, you’ll see I give a lot of freedom to players do as they please, and I try to keep the dice rolling to a minimum, giving more importance to Role play and cleverness.

Nice to meet you Aku, any friend of Walter's is a friend of mine.

First: I couldn't agree more. Story should always be first and foremast in a campaign.

Second: I wouldn't have even guessed, your English seems very good.

Third: Yes, understandable. This is a group of very experienced players. I cannot speak for everybody, but personally I will keep my opinions to a necessary minimum.

I approve of your DM avatar by the way, I use the same one! Such a fascinating monster.

Where is Walter btw? He's been more like Waldo around here lately.. I have no issues with what you said, just a question..

Your statement about houserules.. Will we be required to wipe the slate clean of any changes we've made so far? I've put quite a bit of time and effort into some of Vlad's alternate stuff and would like to know up front if thats all going away..

As for Vlad's "alternate stuff", I can provide a bit of insight into that. If you want any just let me know.

However I do feel obligated to tell you that the previous DM created a very powerful "dhampir gnome" race for me, as it gets most of the traits of both gnomes and dhampirs.

No, not really.

I'll keep the changes, if I take over, to a minimum.
Everything you had agreed with your previous DM will be kept.

@Lil'
Thanks, yeah that monster is fascinating.

@Waldo, I mean Walter
He is as always, woolgathering.

That's fine with me.

It seems that we are set then.

Please report in this campaign so we can talk.
