Update will have to be tomorrow, got home waaay too late after seeing The Martian.
Cheers!
Was it good at least?
I've heard good things about it.
It was brilliant, did good justice to the book.
Also, these bandits are getting demolished.
Did you see the questions to the driver good sir?

I had not, I am replying as we speak.
I'll be moving us forward to Ravenholdt. Just a heads up to everyone on the subject of posting, I usually ask that everyone posts once every 24 hours.
This lets me know people are still here, aware of the campaign and moving the adventure forward.
If you feel you have nothing to say in character, you can always try and move the adventure forward. A simple "Are we all ready? Ravenholdt is near." is all that is required sometimes so we don't fall into a lull.
If you have posting restrictions, please let me know.
I keep accidentally using the wrong aliase XD
Heh.
I've been super busy at work (local game store) in Montreal setting up for a Warmachine tournament this weekend.
Will post tomorrow morning (well, today technically) when I awake!
About to update within the hour. Sorry for the weekend absence.
Sweet!
so are you saying the manor house or any other location is of equal danger?
so are you saying the manor house or any other location is of equal danger?
Yes. It's a bit "meta" but I needed you to know that all the locales are viable options.
The deeper you go the tougher it will get however.
Classic video game tactic. As we get stronger the enemy gets stronger.
Just like Neverwinter Nights. It did not matter which area you explored first. The game adjust the bad guys to be tougher as you complete each level.

Okay, well I think closer is better for 1st level characters guys, because a random encounter could kill us on the way back from the forest. Which may be a bit meta too.

I am currently at a 24h Board Game Event and will be back tomorrow to continue endangering your character's lives!
See you soon!

Three cheers for imminent attempted murder!

Heh, that's funny. Add calculated and premeditated to it.

Murder in the Future Tense of the First Degree?
Sorry for the unfortunate streams of delays, but something has come up today and I'll be away from the blessed Interwebs.
I'll be back!
Hey guys! I'm sorry - I will have to step out. I'm reducing the number of games I'm playing. I hope you all have fun :) so far, very promising premise here. Take care
No worries Arthorius! See you around the forums!
Just have it that he died sitting by the fire so we can loot his body heh heh =).
I am really bummed you are stepping out Archlich, but thank you for letting us know rather than just disappearing on us.
Can we recruit a cleric/healer type.
We are still a rather large group, should I recruit someone else?
Depends on if we're going to fight the giant pig boss or not. Seriously, I can never beat that thing without two vestals.
For real though: I think we're ok. There are a lot of us.
I think it would help to round out the party.
Is everyone still here? Some haven't posted since the 15th, but maybe they are just waiting for the encounter to start.
No worries to those who are slightly slower on posting, this is going to be a long, slow game so I'd rather pace myself.
On that note I'm sorry but I need to take a few days off. It's been quite hectic at work and events have been piling off.
I expect to return on Thursday with a clear schedule.
On that note, I want to ask how we should proceed? Should we try and quicken the pace or keep a slow and steady progression?
Either way is fine with me. I am an old guy with a steady job who checks for posts about 10 times a day.
I think there are times when you can draw out the RP, but in a PbP running it like you are at a table can turn a simple battle into a months long affair. Sometimes the DM has to move things along with some cinematic flair.
Like describing that the first few rooms you come across have _______ in the and you found _______. At the third door however you ______, how do you proceed?
If this is going to be a slow roller that's okay with me, but we might lose some of our other players. I really like the concept. I am ready to get into the meat of it.
I think going slower adds to the Lovecraftian ambience.
I've been a little slow on posting, and apologize. Overlapping crunch time on a couple projects and on the road a lot the past few weeks -- normally I'm able to look in multiple times a day, but have been struggling to make it once a day.
On recruitment, up to you on how big a party you want; it does seem a little bold to proceed with such limited healing, considering the genre / source material. (THough it maybe leads to an genre appropriate fear of death...)
Bump. What's going on?
DM was off until Thursday, we are taking a dramatic pause.
Unfortunately the dramatic pause will have to continue. Stuff keeps piling up over here both in terms of university and personal life. I don't want to cancel any games but this might need to be a hiatus.
I will let everyone know immediately when room clears up.
My apologies for these problems.
Disappointed this one fell apart.
