Hey gang, I'm flying out this weekend so I'll be afk for about 2 weeks. I'll have internet for some of it, so I hope to keep up with posts, but in case I don't, please bot me as needed.
I have a kender puppet. I will make it dance. It will dance and dance and laugh and smile and bleed and scream.
Hi! I am leaving KL today (actually in 2 hours) so I'll be landing home today (in 18 hours.. Time zones are fun. I'll resume posting duties tonight or very early tomorrow morning at the latest.
Happy Easter!!!
Hi everyone.
I've shot Gavin a PM. His last post here mentioned RL heating up, a bane we all suffer from time to time.
Provided he's not back in touch, my immediate plan is to muddle along. I'll NPC him until there's a good chance to write him out, likely with some kind of ambiguous disappearance so if he does come back later we can pop him right back in.
This would leave us with four PCs: Thistletorp, Mariel, Jakun, and Caitlyn, which isn't a bad lineup, really. In the medium term it would work out to the standard fighter/cleric/rogue/mage set. Caitlyn is mighty fighty, so the party wouldn't be without strong melee. Were it just up to me, I'd probably just go ahead as-is.
Games are always co-productions, though. I'm sensitive to changes in the party dynamic. The action economy runs a little less in your favor and an unlucky save taking Caitlyn out of the fight for a few rounds becomes a much more serious thing. Plus it's not quite the same to play the lone melee vs. playing one of two and there's likely knock-on effects for everyone else. The way the game works means there might end up being more pressure on Mariel and Thistletorp to adopt heavy melee roles that aren't in keeping with past expectations. That could be unfun. We all take our lumps, but it's no good if the game becomes consistently unappealing to anyone and I know from past experience that heavy turnover tends to kill online games.
If the sense of the group is that we should recruit someone new, I'm cool with that. If you'd like, we could go with two and replace Tania as well. I can write the new PC(s) in as recently-escaped prisoners, independent adventurers you happen to run into, or something on those lines. Let me know.
I think that recruiting might not be a bad thing to replace the 2 and to utilize them in when it makes sense. How long of a time would you give Gavin to respond?

As it's been a month and I've called on him in the thread too, I think I'll give it a couple of days.
I dont mind going on as we are, however from experience PbP tends to work better with 5 or 6 players unless you are lucky enough to have dedicated posters. I prefer 4 players for a table top game however.
I am fine with 4 but if we could recruit two more I would be fine with that as well.
There is another DL game I play in which seems to have died with 2 other players I will PM them and see if they want to migrate over here to replace our 2 losses.
I agree is rather a full complement of 6 players
Maybe start recruiting and if a good candidate comes put them in when it fits, in the Chronicles people were always coming in and out.
First person I PM'ed is not able to submit a character the second I have yet to hear from.
Received word from Gavin that RL doesn't permit him to focus on games at present. Sorry to see him go, but life happens. :(
Seems we'll have two open spots then. I'll knock out the round tonight and then see about dressing up a recruitment post updated to present circumstances.
I will be unavailable the rest of the day and weekend and likely posting again at some point on Monday, please Bot me as necessary. Thanks.
Did we get the other player
Would be awesome if someone can come up with a good plan here. I'm not too sure that bash them will work out since we are heavily outnumbered :)
Can you look to see, with your great perception, or even the kender, if there are good places to hide?

He's working on a PC now, but has been delayed by long workdays.
Good heavens another Minotaur! Thistletorp will be excited.
Mittens!!!
Wait are Mittens and Jakun back in action together??? :-)
Yes they are
Mittens you might want to check about using paladin powers since the gods are not back
Hello, players.
So...there've been some delays of late. They're on me and due to my going through some personal stuff that I don't really want to get into. But I am committed to getting back on the d20 and on top of things in the near future, probably within the next couple of days. Thank you for your patience.
I hope that everything works out.
It's OK life happens. Thanks for letting us know. Hope you're back soon :)
it's all G.
you know i've been under the weather of late.
actually, if I'm holding anythign up. ever. just bot me. :)
also.. YAY!!! ANOTHER MINOTAUR!!! WOOHOO!
Thistletorp is VERY jealous that someone ELSE gets horns and he doesn't!
Make sure you don't fight higher level Clerics of Paladine, Mittens!~
I hope that everyone is doing okay!
FYI I will be away Friday through Sunday bot me if necessary.
Will try to catch up, my internet has been acting up!
New spell list for the next day complete!
FYI I will be teaching two summer school sessions starting tomorrow and for the next 3 weeks. I will try to keep up as much as possible but wont have much time to post during the day.
I've bee doing that myself since the start of june
May Paladibs give you strength and nourish your soul....

For some reason I am not able to access the map, I see my name and a box but that is about it. No big mean dragon.

Is the rest of it just a big black box, or can you see Mariel's token and other PCs?
I can see peeps
Non che niente
I can't get it to work
Do you have a Roll20 account? I might have to invite you to see the board.
Non che niente
I don't have enough Spanish to follow that, sorry. Was the map working back when you fought the draconians and rescued half the party?

Italiano. The map was working then

Hm. I'm not sure what would have changed. Apart from the nametag, do you see just blackness?
All I see is a grid.

Can you scroll around it? Or zoom in and out? There should be a white bar in the upper left corner to zoom with.
