Might be time to recruit. We're in town, and fetching the Master, so it's a good point to do it if we're gonna.
I'm inclined to recruit two new players if there's no objection. Get us back up to a healthy five.
Agreed
Works for me. You know I like watching...judging...
Sounds good to me too
Sorry it's taken so long, but recruitment is now live.
In the course of writing it, I realized that I also did not give you third level for completing book 1. So you're third level now. Have fun. :)
Whoo! Feel the power!

New players! Hi and sorry for keeping you waiting. Let's get the story reasons for your PCs to be present sorted forthwith, so you can get in on the fun. Yell at me if I've misunderstood something from your backstories.
Horatio, you've been asked by your high priest to watch the temple of Ishtar for unusual activity. He's heard disturbing rumors that a dark force may have infiltrated. In that capacity you've just seen a group of suspicious characters hustle a bound man with a sack over his head into the building. Ordinarily you might report back at once, but you've seen these same people come and go from Zummabu's manor a few times and you're sure he wouldn't be mixed up in any dark doings.
Zummabu purchased your freedom just today. He agreed to do so some time ago, but there were extensive negotiations that held things up until now. He's explained to you that he has a group of friends looking into some trouble and for his repayment -something he mentions reluctantly- he asks that you join them. He was able to provide you descriptions and on your way out of his manor you spotted just those people heading into the temple of Ishtar with a bound man in tow.
checking in, let me know if there is anything in the stat lines you'd like me to change/add/subtract.
Checking in, happy to be selected. Quick question, I currently have Fan of Flames(15ft cone) as Maka's 3rd lv infusion to have her have a dragon's breath ability. Since we have plenty of melee would Extend Range for 120ft blast range be more help to the group?
Decided to go with Extend Range since we have so many close range options.
So how is everyone?
Good, just trying to figure out where in the story I need to play.
I feel you, coming in at an interrogation is a bit tough. But with a group of invincible zombies I'm betting you'll find you're spot in the party quickly enough.
I used to be very regular about my PBPs. Most days I could get to all six, though there were occasional slips where I missed that I had a declaration or RL intervened. The past year and change of my life have not been all that great, including repeated illness for myself and loved ones, a lot of difficult family stuff, and generally poor mental health. It’s been a regular crap tsunami. As all of you know, I’ve struggled to keep up even after shifting to resolving each game every other day. You have all been great; I just don’t have it in me to keep going as I have been.
Every GM makes a promise when they start a game that they’re going to be here and try to give you a good experience. This is me breaking it because I just can’t anymore. I have told myself many times that next round or next week I’ll be back on the d20. I recruited for replacement players on that premise. It hasn’t happened. You deserve better than I can give.
I’m sorry. Thank you all for putting up with me and I hope I was able to bring some happiness to your lives through these games. Know that you brought some to mine.
Thanks for the games, Samnell. They've been a blast. When you feel up to doing stuff again I'll most likely be around.
Same. Thanks for the good times and the fun game. It's appreciated. But life must come first. I understand completely.
I understand, life definitely comes first. Keep well everyone.
I understand as well, sir. I hope things get better for you. Thanks for the game!
It was a short adventure, but I look forward to playing with you all again in the future.
