Darn roll.new char a rogue named Johnny
all done
Not sure if there's anything you need us to do... I know I haven't posted since Thursday but I have been available. Just want to make sure everything is cool.
You out there bossman?
Indeed. Let us get to the slaying!
Soooo...?
I say we give it 'til Thursday and then start a recruitment thread for a DM. Thoughts?
Perhaps.
Yeah, though DM recruitment threads usually go over like a lead balloon. Always more PC's than DM's. We can always try it, especially since we've got a tight storyline. It would be a bummer to waste all that work...
Yeah, true. I concur.
I'm going to draft up a recruitment post on Monday. Does everyone want to proceed with looking for a new GM at this point?
Sault, if you're out there do you want to weigh in here?
I definitely want to go forward with this game, so yeah. Unless Sault comes back in the next day or two and stays... I say let's go for it.
Agreed
Acceptable. I hope Sault is okay.
I am absolutely hoping Sault is alright. I hope we, at some point, hear something about his or her status.
S&&+ sorry guys.
Long story short. I hate my job.
I'm glad to see you back! Do you think you'll be alright to move forward? I'm not trying to push you away or anything, but I don't want you to feel pressured to continue if you can't keep up and not go crazy in real life. I'm very keen to continue, but I don't want you to burn yourself out. And if the answer is yes, then let's do it!
I'm back! So, it appears, is Sault. Welcome back!
Are you going to be alright to continue?
I empathize.
So, Sault, I'm really curious if you are able to continue this campaign. If you can't, that's really ok. This is a game, life goes on. But I would like to know so we can move on and try to salvage this. I worked really hard on that storyline because I really want to play Kingmaker. It's nothing personal, but if you can't respond to our posts we're going to have to move on. Just let us know if you're ok and if you'll be able to continue with us or not.
I'm seconding the above. I understand hardship at work. I've pulled my share of 70 or 80 hour weeks.
If your workload is too much for you to run the game, let us know and we'll work with you to find a replacement.
If you are just having a bad week, give us some kind of idea what your timeline looks like. You left us with very little information and the IG post seems to imply that we'll have several weeks or month of OOG time to wait before the AP starts.
I agree I am very excited about playing this and am very much wanting to see this happen.
You guys keep posting and I'll keep playing. Remember you can always take tens on activities and if you beat a standard DC for it survival rolls, craft checks things like that and assume it goes through.
I'm not trying to be a jerk, but in your recruitment post it asked for a minimum one post per day, more if we can. You also said
I work second shift in the EST so 4-10 will my most active times and will always post as quickly as possible.
You've posted three times in the last two weeks, and it was spotty even before that. "You keep posting and I'll keep playing" is not a response. There isn't much to go on without DM interaction. In all seriousness, can you post as least once every day or not?
I'm all for moving forward with the campaign. If the trend of posting every few days is going to continue, however, I'd rather you worked with us to find a new GM.
It's unreasonable, as Garion pointed out, to ask for us to post every day and then for you to go a week and a half without posting.
If you want to drop feel free. It is a game after all. I know there were times when not everyone has responded in a timely manner. If it is really that much of a problem I won't feel bad about canceling the game.
We just want to play. we want you to GM. if you can than lets get this puppy running.
Sorry if I came off a little rude, I mean it. I really just want to play, I have no desire to drop. We just weren't sure what was going on and you weren't responding to our concerns, which made us a bit worried. I know I've gotten busy too and it's been hard to post. We don't need to know the details of your personal life, just that you're ok with continuing on and that we can keep a solid pace.
Let me re-emphasize something - I want you to be our GM and I want to play the hell out of Kingmaker.
Again, I'm very sorry if I came across harsh, please do not cancel the game. I hope everything is going well for you and I would love to get into this campaign with this group and you leading the way!
Yeah we are good to go and it's OK. Text can make inflection kind of hard to read haha.
We are good to go as long as everyone else is.
Oooohhhhh yeahhhh hoood to goood
Just waiting on Sal.
Any chance we can get a map of the area? Specifically Oleg's
I cannot speak for anyone else, but please don't delay responding to the party just because Garren hasn't spoken up in a bit (meaning this "round" of conversation). Sometimes a fellow is just quiet. I'd rather the story had a chance to move forward and Garren was just lost in thought or pondering the complexities that Erastil throws at him.
I mean Combat? Yeah, wait for me to shoot someone, or heal, or whatever. But conversations are hardly ever round robin.
Hey all, I will be out this weekend. Going out of town with the wife, no electronic devices! I'll be back Monday morning and respond to anything. Bot me if something needs to happen. Garion is down for hiding in wait to take down the baddies from a distance. He'll follow Garren's lead.
Enjoy your escape from the electronic leash. See you Monday.
I'm back! Quick question, am I the only one getting an error with the map?
I'm not having any troubles.
Yeah, it's giving me some sort of weird error. I searched for it on photobucket and I got three of the same, just the battle mat of the interior of the trading post. Is this what we're looking at?
What is your username on Photobucket Sault? Or anyone who can answer that question? It's listed on the right. If I can just get that I can follow him and no more errors. I'm not tech savy enough to figure out why I'm having a problem.
Ah! It's like a bad horror film or something!
So I feel like a real piece of garbage for doing this but I don't think I'm going to be able to keep up to my own standards of daily posting.
I got a shift change at work and am still recovering from a surgery last fall which requires about 2 hours in a gym.
I'm willing to keep going, albeit at a slower pace, if you guys allow it. If not I can look for a replacement DM.
Here is a working map I hope.
A different look on Oleg's Trading Post.
Also have you guys heard of Roll20.net? I use it with my IRL gaming group and it works well. I don't know what would happen if I tried it with you guys if we were not all on at the same time.
I'm okay with that. Life happens. Actually, is there a time we could all be on together? Even if it only happesn for say an hour once or twice a month that would help move things along nicely. Thoughts? I'm usually available morning 7-9am MST and evenings, say 7-10pm MST, though I could definately go earlier in the morning if that would help people. My last job was 4am custodial, so I can get up whenever.
I have other pbp that use it for maps
Hey guys, sorry I haven't been on the last couple of days. Easter weekend was jam packed for me. I'll look into roll20 and weigh in tomorrow!
I'm pretty much always unavailable for roll20. It's blocked at work and 95% of my internet time is spent there.
Well if Garren can't use then it's out. I may still build maps with it and screenshot them or try and do *shudders* excel based maps.
Garion don't sweat it. We all get caught up in stuff. You guys have worked with my hectic life so far and I am willing to do the same for all of you.
