Yeah get some rest and get well!
Echoing Duska great post DM
In this moment I am asking for help, It is moments like these where I do not understand how to a dd through roleplaying. I don't want to interrupt the flow between Ra'hl and the Dryad with a post that adds little to the actual game. Any comments or suggestions are welcome.
Hey Fergus - not sure what you mean? What's "how to a dd through roleplaying"??
Would gladly chip in my thoughts or suggestions, but not 100% what your stuck on chief...
(excuse my ignorance if I'm missing something very obvious!)
I meant I do not understand how to add to the current game setting through roleplaying.
Ahh. Ya. Usually I just throw something out there that other people could react to if they wanted. I'm not direct involved, so I'm not going to push myself in the conversation. It's kinda life pinging a server. I post something kinda fun and if people respond, great. If they don't, oh well.
Guess Fergus is a shaman. Very much a man of the Wilds with a deep connection to the spirits and the world.
The dryad is most likely the most powerful fey we've encountered, particularly with the satyr in tow. If something's got them spooked/threatened that should be enough to set internal monologue alarm bells ringing at least? You could follow that chain - be more observant than reverent perhaps... or offer a different stance "What's in it for Stagfall" etc.
My 2 runes worth :)
I'm going with the diplomatic/harbinger whose connected to the fey as much as the kingdom...

Yeah a big advantage in Pbp is that you can also deal with non conversational cues. Maybe Fergus is introspective and is thinking something but not saying it. Maybe Fergus is being quiet but his demenaor shifts. He leans on his staff in an intense way, watching closely. Think of what you notice actors or characters doing in films when they aren't talking, you could simply describe that.
I play a dour elf in another game who tends to grunt and scoff as others talk. I'm not interrupting but everyone else certainly knows what my character thinks or likes about the conversation.
Feel free to experiment.
Ok thank you so much for all your advice, I am sorry that I am new to this but I will get used to it with more time.
All good my friend - you're doing a stand up job thus far :)
I will be leaving the county tomorrow morning and will not be back to a regular posting schedule until Oct. 25th. Sorry for the inconvenience. Hate to leave when we're just getting started in a new point in the story.
Tis RL mate... now worries we'll keep the home fires burning til your back :)
Sincerest apologies, I got a new promotion that also came with moving offices and computers and what not so my access to tech has been severly limited as my crappy home laptop has decided to play "turn off without notice and always require to be plugged in". But I'm moved, set up, and adapting so I should be more present.
Big death in my family. I will be back by the end of the week. Apologies.

No worries. I'll still be here
Me too, take your time.
Condolences - take your time KM-D.
I am sorry for your loss.
UGH
Thats all I can say.
So I have been trying to look at what I am doing, what is coming for me personally and everything else and I think I have to be honest with myself and say I can't run more than one game right now. I love LOVE what is happening here and I have a special fondness for the characters and players that have graced this thread. The probate and estate stuff for this branch of the family seems...challenging at best. Between my new promotion and what might be weeks if not months of familial wrangling I need to be honest about what I can accomplish and how often.
That said, I have a RotRL game I have been running for something close to 6 years? (ACK) and it has and must remain my top GM priority. That game has been one of the few constants in a sort of never ceasing parade of life trying to do its darndest to keep me from having and time to myself or hobbies of my own.
So that leaves me here, having to sincerely apologize for ending our journey through KM short and wanting you all to know its been awesome. I am going to leave the thread active through the weekend so everyone can see my message easily and then I will mark the game as inactive on Monday.
If I find myself in a place where I can kick this back up or any other project you folks will be the first people I message. Its honestly been a pleasure, sorry that life is getting in the way of my ability to commit.

No thank you. You breathed life into a pretty well worn AP and I loved the opportunity you gave us to run these characters.
I know how much the dilemma of stopping something special and fun can be. Stepped away from my own KM and vanity game set in Iobaria. Both were with amazing groups of players and was very tough to let go.
I commend your (difficult) decision and thank you and the rest of the group for some amazing and memorable times in our short lived saga.
This won't be the last we all see of each other I'm sure. Everyone here has my utmost respect and I've enjoyed the dynamic immensely. Look forward to playing alongside you all sometime down the line and if ever Stagfall rises again KM-D - count me in.
Thanks and hope all goes well.

This. I couldn't have said it better. You did a great job and I completely understand your decision. I'm in the process of ending several games I GM as well, though I have the opportunity to actually end them as they're modules.
Consider this a fond hug of farewell from your favorite Orc. :)

I loved this game, and I am very sad to see it end. I do understand, and very much appreciate you doing all you can for us. I know how busy the holidays and be, and maybe after you may feel more up to DMing again. No matter what happens though, you did a great job, and I really appreciate it.
Hi Everyone,
I've been popping in weekly to keep an eye on things. I'm really sad to see it end, just wanted to add how much fun I had as well playing and watching. This was a real gem of a game.
You did a fantastic job Devon.
