Game Master Branding Opportunity

I have to say, I love the touches for the PCs in this campaign. Kadan's near-unassailable optimism and cheer, Brother Kendram's working Libra into everything, and Kuhl's *unique* intellect. And of course GM BrOp's adaption of the source material, expanding where needed.

Good work, all!

I'm enjoying all the characters as well, although I do wish you hadn't all picked names that start in K :). When this is all over, you might want to check out the "Sorcery!" video game available on Steam. I'm using the encounters in that game to flesh out this one even more.

I hadn't even considered all of our characters were alliterate.

*sigh* I knew. It's my fault really...

I'll have to check out the Sorcery game. Also there is a Warlock of Firetop Mountain app/game with actual graphics...all the others are just emulated books...


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

I must look into those.

I am away from my computer until next Tuesday and will be posting tersely from my phone. Don't take it personally, everyone.

Duly noted!

Posting this to all my games: Sorry for the lack of posting. For the second time this year, I got the flu, and the internet is out at my house right now (where it has been for the last two days). It should hopefully be resolved by Monday, and if not I'm going to switch ISPs. Please feel free to bot me until I am back up and running, and if I am running your game, I haven't forgotten about you!


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

I have fond hopes of Kadan a) living and b) returning swiftly. If I wanted "Kadan: the rpg", I've had asked about a solo game. ;)

Hey, take your time - I'm absolutely fine with you exploring the cave. Kuhl has nuts to chew, quips to make and a stuffy cleric to sit with and accidentally annoy with his distinct lack of religion.

Challenge accepted!

Also, I have returned from the "real world" after making an expedition. It's rather droll.


Discord Chat

Hi folks,

Thank you for bearing with my absence of late, but things have been very busy and will likely get busier.

I've already mentioned that I'll be moving very soon, so I thought I'd give you some updates.

First, I wanted to tell all of you that my family and I will be moving for work to the small island of Yap in the western Pacific this summer. Yap is part of a small atoll that is part of the Federated States of Micronesia, and is quite remote. The closest "mainland" are the Philippines and Papua New Guinea. FYI, careful Googling Yap at work, as the traditional dress there is NSFW.

To complicate things further, we're being forced to move out of our current home by the end of May (it was sold) and will be living with friends and relatives until we finally leave for Micronesia at the beginning of August.

What this means for the game is that my posting will be sparse between now (actually from a few weeks ago) and when we get ourselves established in Micronesia in August. I'm not exactly sure when in August because the work is handling the relocation and hasn't given us our tickets yet, and also because I don't know how long it will take me to get the internet up and running in Yap (although I'm glad to know there IS internet).

I'd like everyone to vote and let me know what you prefer we do with this game. The choices are:

A) "Yes, let's keep the game running with less frequent posting until August!"
B) "Nah, too frustrating, let's put the game on hold until August."
C) "Sorry, I've already lost interest as this doesn't work for me. Let's call it quits."

Feel free to chime in if you see other options or have other comments.

Thanks,

BrOp

Wow, that is quite the life change! I hope it works out well for you and your family.

I'm content to keep playing in this game as long as it's running and I know what the situation is.

So my vote would be first A and then B, in that order.

Heh, Yap. I worked in Palau for a little while, it is a beautiful part of the world.

I vote "A".


Discord Chat

Wow, Kuhl, Palau is very close! Any tips on living in that part of the world?

I would also vote for playing til we can't. I like Team K!

It looks like you're stuck with us. :)

To quote Huey Lewis and the News: "I am happy to be stuck with you". :)


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

A heads up. Between Friday 1st June and Sunday 3rd June, I won't be available at all. My availability on the Thursday and Monday is also likely to be very limited.

So realistically, I'm not likely to post much from Thursday May 31st until Tuesday June 5th.


Discord Chat

Today is the big moving day, the Day of the Truck. Wish me luck! My presence online should increase after today.


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

Best of luck!

Hey, Micronesian humor, I get it!

Thanks again for your patience. We've now arrived at our temporary home for the summer where we'll be staying until we travel overseas at the end of July.


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

I hope your summer home is working out well for you all. :)

Wait until you have to pay for something with a coin-wheel as big as a house. Though if I remember corectly that is a marriage currency...

Down to 12 gold.

Seriously, plus try to go swimming while wearing your "change purse".


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

I am unlikely to be able to post this weekend.

Scarab Sages

Hi folks,

I know, it's been a very, very, very, long time, but you deserve to know what happened to me.

Well, I finally made it to the small island of Yap in Micronesia, and am now working as a high school teacher. We had terrible luck with the local folks hooking up our internet, and didn't get it finally connected until a few weeks ago.

Apologies for disappearing. Even with a bad internet connection I could have still let you know what was going on; that's my bad. A combination of guilt and shame kept me away from the forums after I had been incommunicado for a few weeks. That's just an explanation, however, not an excuse.


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

I happened to check here, just in case.

That is unfortunate, though I know the feeling about staying away from feeling bad about delays.

If you and the other two K's are interested, I would resume playing. I suggest sending PMs, as they may not spot these posts.


Discord Chat

I just pulled this back from the "inactive" list.

It seems that Kadan and Kuhl are interested in giving the game another try, while Brother Kendram is out. Should we just push ahead with the two remaining PCs, or try to recruit someone else?

Only saw your post just now - don't feel bad - you did tell us you were going away to Micronesia after all...

I'm not sure I'm still keen to play without Brother Kendram, unless we can find another replacement. I know the game-comcept was originally a solo affair, I'm just not sure Kadan and Kuhl can survive it all together...Also I like the triad of personalities we had going on...


Male Human Thief 4, HP 16/17

I don't love the idea of continuing without Brother Kendram but we could try recruitment and see if a suitable player volunteers.


Discord Chat

OK, sounds like we try for recruitment. As for "survivability", I was already adjusting the challenges to fit a group your size, so adjusting it for a group of 2 instead of 3 would not be that tricky.

I'll post something in the recruitment thread.
