Mangroves of the Desert (Inactive)

Game Master Herkymr the Silly

Yep

So we have job secure for wife and possible one for me prior to the move :) yeah

Looks like we will be in murray area

so we have to be gone last day of july. I will set the situation up hopefully tonight if not asap for you all to join up and get this going player to player while i am a bit more sporadic due to the move.

I am not quitting and you will here from me asap but it will be more sporadic until aug.

So in campaign info I have now posted a portion of our story up to now. I am working on getting the rest completed which I will have up shortly. I have made a few minor wording differences The changes WILL NOT effect anything in game

I am hoping to get something more story substantial up but didnt before i head to UTAH

Seth: Jerras said to manager that marry could refer others for help in your job, Marry will have pointed each of these guys out as they come into the room.

So I will ask that you all find a reason or make one to join together and talk in the main room. or if you desire a private dining room. and get to know each other by character.

Done.

I am now where i mzy have sporadic ability to post. Just not necessarily much time. So i will be doing what i can if any of you want to as well we'll work with what ever peopls put up as soon as i can after peeps put it up.

I have my interview tomorrow and hope to have a break or beable to take a break afterwords and maybe post.

I am here til 13th late after noon then posting should be come more normal again til towards end of month during the actual move and reestablishment of everything here

Ill keep ya informed as much as I can. And even though i am not posting I am working on things in my head and some writing that will tie in with the story. Part of whaat I am doing is embelishing the general basic overall arc of the campaign to add more play ooptions for you

For milos I am finishing the technical writing stuff for infected I think (yes I actually do) that i am close to finishing that.

For fun, I would like to see what song you would chose as a theme song for your character both in battle and when not. If you feel up to the challenge, it will be worth a goodie for you in the story soon

have fun and thanks for palying and having patience

Just so that it is documented, I did not write the part of Mary in the last post. I received a text message with the question that Mary was going to ask and was asked to write my post off of it. I know that my character has not made it to the next day yet due to this meeting so Herkymr was helping to move it along while traveling. Also I did not require Unk to post of Saturday due to holiday so I hope that no one holds that against him. Hope everyone had a great weekend. I will be traveling and in seminars for the next 5 days. My posts will come pretty late each night but I will make every effort to post each day. On the other hand, I am going to vegas so who knows.

LINKY CLICKYS

I get the battle one after looking at lyrics. I like it
I however do not get the non battle One. How does it tie to your character? I would like to know for it gives me more of a feel for how you perceive your toon. which in turn helps me make the game more enjoyable for all.

At first I thought you empty quoted me but at second glance I saw your quotimication tags are all wonk.

I guess for the Three Days Grace song consider that one tentative, I was mostly just going for a song that wasn't as heavy as Victorious March. So, I will have to give that one a tick.

ok

good perspective on what ability scores compare to in realish life
simple language ability scores

its just an idea or perspective form one person but it may help

So I will be back home tonight.
I will be posting more frequently as we are getting things in order to get moved. I will check in multiple times a week if not everyday(i am guessing everyday will be the most likely)
So please start checking and posting in again to get this back up and running smoothly

I hope it went well!

interview did. however not the skills test. Flush setting a fragile cz in carbon hardened titanium is HARD.

Sorry to hear that :(

Time will put this in Realm
Time for Mangroves in the desert

a 24 hr day is divided into 3 periods – each called a peak

The peak run like this... 8:01 am to 4 pm / 401 pm to 12.am /12 : 01 am to 8am

Each peak is then divided into 4 shadows each approximately 2hrs in length

So it goes as follows showing the end time of each shadow

first peak (8:01 o 4pm)
1st shadow 10 am
2nd shadow 12 pm
3rd shadow 2 pm
4th shadow 4pm

second peak (4:01 pm o 12 am)
1st shadow 6 pm
2nd shadow 12 pm
3rd shadow 2 pm
4th shadow 4pm

Third peak (12 am t o 8 am)
1st shadow 2 am
2nd shadow 4 am
3rd shadow 6 am
4th shadow 8 am

TWO THUMBS UP FOR UNK

We are beginning to see a character. That was a great post.

I have an extra realm works player license that could be used if we had another player who wanted to join. I am not posting this to the recruitment board because I want to keep it among friends fist and then maybe go from there.

Thanks
Game on!

Ok, I'm lost, who is in the room and who isn't?

Ok, I'm lost, who is in the room and who isn't?

From everything I have read currently Milos, Mang, Shadara, and Unk are in the room. Jerras has left after giving the offer. Seth is not in the room but has already accepted the job. Jerram's last post was that he slept deeper then he had in some time. The DM wrote some information for him upon waking but Jerram has not responded to that information. DM paused Seth in the Common room having breakfast and listening to people in the common room.

That is what I see from the posts.

Also the current dynamic between your character and mine made sense that you would act like you did not see me in the room. Your comment seemed to fit in our current tit for tat structure. I apologize if offense was taken as none was intended.

No it's fine. Had I known correctly who was in the room and you responded that way I honestly was expecting it. My intention is to be a bit abrasive and demanding because the character is testing everyone.

That is what I was thinking and for my character she is the "snot nosed brat" idea just coming in believing that she is in control. The character will be really fun to play when things start to become hard for her. I figure that our current dialog type will continue until one or the other deems the counterpart worthy. Since there have been no situations yet to really base that worth we get to continue have fun throwing slights and light insults at each other.

i AM LOVING THE INTERPLAY.

Unk -- I like what you are doing with your toon. I am beginning to see a visual personality now. Just to prove a point, what you have been doing with how you have posted lately is "write the book" like we have discussed before. It isn't the length of the post as much as the content with in the post that makes the game go.

I have sent a text to seth. Not sure whats going on there. we'll give him a few days and see what happens or I will call him

Same with JErram. I know his life was pretty bushed out while I was down there so maybe it is a bit more mllow now.

***Did I miss something in m own writing? I thought that both jeram and seth were in. I know that I unpaused seth and has him move on but maybe that was a spoiler or even possibly just in my head.

I am reading posts daily. Right now where it is mainly you all interacting I have not felt a need to step in and do or say anything. I think if I were to do that it would remove some of the organic raw feel of the story and make it forced.

Milos:
I only have about 2-3 things left to figure out and I shall be able to give you the mechanics of how I want vamps / infected to work in this world. When I do I would love your feed back and also love you to help me iron out any wrinkles in it mechanic and flavor wise you see.

Shadara and Mang:

I am glad to see that you are making an effort in discussion to clarify that it is character and not player interaction that is a bit stressed right now. As an experienced D. and Player I have seen people get upset with each other because of what the character does when it is the character not the person and atleast one of the Players is FULLY playing in character. ROLE playing is fun but has its own set of challenges. Glad you both realize this and are addressing it in healthy ways.

@Herkymr: sounds great - want to talk by PM or email?

either will work let me get it finished to the point I think it will be beneficial to talk about

email m9ght be the better wa or more efficient way to hash it through though now I think of it

Ideas or suggestions for an additional player
?

I have sent a couple of texts to Jerram and have no reply yet so I am not sure what is going on right now.

I will be NPCing him for now until we know what is up.

If we dont hear in the next few days or so we may have to move on without him and hope to catch someone else as an add in

BTW
We most likely have another RL friend (URIE) going to join us. Not or sure yet but definitely a strong possibility

Cool.

Wizard / sorcerer / psion ?

Or cleric? Shouldn't be too late for Milos to change, and the group could use a dedicated healer.

Nah, don't change up what you've got. It'll work well.

we will roll with the dice so to speak. I know the group well enough by now..even you MILOS :) to know we can deal with it and still have fun.

So i am putting no restrictions on what the new player choses to make as a character.

Jerram was a monk so IF thats a big IF he fades out our party can benefit from anything really.

What about a big purple eggplant.............. "I'm a fish"

Time will put this in Realm

You did notice that the second peak is a little goofy. I know what you meant to put in:

second peak (4:01 pm o 12 am)
1st shadow 6 pm
2nd shadow 8 pm
3rd shadow 10 pm
4th shadow 12 am

So I was ablt ot get ahold of Jerram. He has had a busy crazy last few weeks due to work and to school and the moving to and from these.

He will communicate with me or shadara if he is unable to post.

We then will help keep the communication going.

I consider the group fairly lenient as to posting EXCEPT when there is no COMMUNICATION about what is happening.

I am liking the role play aspects that I am seeing. The interaction between you all as been helpful for me in several regards. I get to see more how you view your character.
I get to have a bit of a relieve to get some of my moving things accomplished.
I do have more ready for Jerras which will be shown briefly. I only had a moment to sneak a post in between packing.

btw the next week should be very sporadic for game. We are moving at next weekend thus the cleaning and packing intensify.

ThANKS for the patience and diligence with game

GAME ON !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

packing starts in earnest now that wife is done with her night shifts.
I will be taking main computer down so the laptop will be my connection to game but that will be infrequent til first part of august

Should be back to posting for game thurs or fri of next week. we move this weekend

I'm sorry for my extended absence, but I should be back for good now.

Just go word from Herk that the travel was successful so YAY team.

Awesome. Once the new home is closed on and all moving has finished it should be a great place from what I've heard.

That's good :)

Heya all I do have some limited internet now. Hopefully Ill be able to get game going good again. I am not abandoning the game as long as there are players interested in playing it.

Thanks for the patience....I hate moving and cross states move sucks BTW

You moved man, totally fair. You gave warning. I just figured the game was a bit on hold.

I'm good to go, but if you need a bit longer that's fine too.

Loving what I just read. I will respond during my lunch today.

Welp.

Yep. Gonna die. ;)

So the riddles are a free for all however, the in-game answer MUST be posted by shadara.

Use here to discuss and debate the answers. They are on line so this is an honor issue.

Milos-- haven't forgotten the stuff on the infected. Its taking longer than I expected. I should shortly have another email to you for discussion. as for now just play it as if you were straight dhamphir. Once we get the rest figured out we will implement it then. This gives us the time to fine tune with out holding up the game for all. This Amendable for you??

Sounds good - I'll use the stats I had!

I actually heave heard one of those riddles before... must... not... answer...

That spellcraft roll was for the puppetry not the ear piercing scream.

So the riddles are a free for all however, the in-game answer MUST be posted by shadara.

Ok, so I'm not clear on this... Are you saying that we can't say the answer at all or that only Shadara can give the answer to the grumpy old man?

only shadara may actually give the response to the "man"

I encourage all of you to discuss the answers and come up with some. Might even be bonus's if you are able to come up with something that fits awesomely that I hadn't expected....I do have a lot of things that work though.
Bigger props if you can use these other answers in the interactions between the group and the
BOY/MAN

Yes....Matt your reasoning is sound. there are other answers as well.
