Whoohoo! Good for you!
Whoohoo! Good for you!
Oh Trout. Did you get a break from your 'school'?
Of course, you cheeky devil. Now get back to work not falling off a boat. >:P
Yeah, I've noticed that. I've run more than a half-dozen games at this point. I've had some turnover in my adventure paths, but I've never had the difficulty keeping those going like I have my two attempts at one-shots (one of which I ended after a couple months because I was so frustrated with the players' posting rate or lack thereof).
Seems to be off to a good start. I think I've got enough other games that I can do with just people from those, so hopefully it'll work out. : )
And on that note, better get posting on this game...
Heh. Ninja'd. Posting in the next few minutes...
I dunno...I had a lot of fun on the one-of adventures. I still remember the last one, Motte...the vampire-blimp one that didn't make a lick of sense. It was a good run and fun.
I do find some of the behaviors of PbPers to be fascinating...how hard it is to be a good player and even harder to be a good GM. There is an art to pacing and pushing, how to keep momentum while not excluding players.
I put Sad Rock in the recruit thread, but could easily bring in someone else, Motte, if you have room.
Agreed, Kyson (wasn't thinking of that little vampire blimp -- that was one of my favorite games -- but rather attempts to do Witchwar Legacy and Realm of the Fellnight Queen).
But it's easy also to get sidetracked. For example, I was waiting here for Sekathral, forgetting that he had posted he was helping pilot the ship. That was on me for not posting yesterday (that said, I think we're in enough of a groove here that it doesn't kill things when I miss a day, even if I do try not to).
To me, it's the people who can't even be bothered to say why they're disappearing that drive me nuts. I've dropped out of a couple games, but I always say why. And when I ended Witchwar Legacy, I said exactly why, not just disappearing. The only excuse IMO for just disappearing from an active game is if you're hit by a car or something along those lines. And even then, first thing I'm asking for in my hospital is my iPad. (Of course, my gf thinks I have a serious Internet addition problem, and she's kind of right.)
And, with the seemingly endless journey finally over (well, at least you're on the island, if not at Farshore), you can get another level!
Yay!!!
Ugh. Sorry, I know I'm up with T-rex before everyone else goes, but I'm too tired at the moment. Will post in the a.m. Sorry all.
Woo! I'll update Silvio if he survives the fight and get's to rest.
Going through my games now. You may want to level up to 7 before (during?) this encounter, though, as it's intended for level 7, so could be fairly difficult if you're level 6 still.

/waves a little Silvio flag
Man, T-Rexes are vicious. I may have to use them again in something. Silvio, any idea what you'd like to do? Obviously you're welcome to come up with another character.
That's my first dead PC in PBP and I don't remember how long in general. : (
I think I'll take this opportunity to bow out of the game thread. A few months short of a year ago I came to the conclusion that the Pathfinder Game System is not for me. I've enjoyed this game a lot. The adventures have been cool, the group is great and you're a really good DM. The only downside is the game system. And that's a pretty big downside :/
I'll continue to lurk but I will leave the RP to you :)
!!!
You will be missed, mighty Silvio. :(
:(
You realise you'll be breaking Liamae's heart...
Best of luck and see you around the boards, anyway! :)
:(
You will definitely be missed. I hope you find the system that works for you.
;-;

Motte, maybe we want to recruit from the beefy submissions/rejects from your recent recruitment? I saw lots of interesting submissions. Conveniently, they are all lvl 7.
Patrik, sorry to see you go. Silvio was a blast, though I'm glad I've still got Treshiell to entertain me.
As for the game, I do tend to like 5 players so I'm inclined to recruit someone new. I can certainly consider someone from the recent recruitment; did you have any particular favorites, Kyson?
My biggest concern would be how to intro them. We could say they were laying low for some reason but are actually one of the NPC colonists who realize he/she has to help or everyone will die, assuming the new player is amenable to such an idea. I need to read through the current mod to see if there's any other place to reasonably add someone in.
I'm also amenable to rebuilding if people want to do that but I don't want you to feel obligated to.
OK, that's fine with me. I'll read through the whole mod tomorrow and see where we can add a fifth. Just waiting on Khaz for the current round...
Thanks for the condolences :) Feels a bit odd to "bury" a character you played for almost two years. Luckily death doesn't have to be permanent on Golarion :)
Patrik, sorry to see you go. Silvio was a blast, though I'm glad I've still got Treshiell to entertain me.
Now I have more time to dedicate to Treshiell. I feel she's been running on empty for a while. Hope I can turn it back up.
:(
You will definitely be missed. I hope you find the system that works for you.
Oh, there's plenty :) Just have to find opportunities to play them :)
Zstel, I'm fine if you want to change. Just let me know.
Turns out I was even worse with the rules than I thought I was :) Good that we have lurkers that catch my mistakes. Thanks James :)
Yay! SILVIO!
Yay! SILVIO!
Trout! I thought I smelled something fishy! And it's not Silvio's body after coming out of the back end of the Rex.
Family is in town, I'll try to keep up, but don't hesitate to dmpc Khaz if necessary.
I managed to leave the module at home, so probably not much tonight. Let's see if we can get ourselves sorted -- looks like we're spending the night on uncomfortable rocks, but decide what you're doing in the a.m. -- and I'll get us back on track tomorrow.
I believe we're packing up and following the route Urol mentioned.
+1
yep...
Sorry I haven't been able to post. Won't probably have time until this sunday. Please DMPC Silvio if he's slowing things down.
Just FYI, I expect to be away Sunday and Monday.
And I'm away today.
