Tales from the City of Opal

Game Master Patrick Curtin

You got it brah. Vilya's sailing off into the sunset. I'm sure the party won't want much with her assuming they make it off the slime ship Your new character can be a freelance sailor on the Laugh

I'll miss Vilya, but that won't stop Egan and Whisperwing from assuming they won the battle of scouting leadership... :-)

Woot! Let the party begin!
(Again!)
;)

And, just in time for the party to start again...

I'm going to be at a two-week-long seminar in California starting this coming Sunday, so there's a chance my posting will be somewhat spotty for a little while. Please GMPC as you see fit.

No worries Shiny, you are out of battle right now and even if I get my shit totally together this should take a while to resolve

I will be leaving tomorrow afternoon for Italy once again (back on the following Saturday). I may have some internet, but my posting will likely be spotty. Please DMPC me as needed.

Safe journey Bryan!

Thank you!

Indeed! Buon viaggio! I imagine Italy in the Spring is nice

Beautiful in the Spring and fall. Summer's nice, but it can get pretty hot and I'm not a fan of the air conditioning (they generally set it for about 10 degrees lower than the outside, and you can't ever really get it any colder). Winter in Turin is generally a bit milder than here (Detroit area) but still cold and some snow. (Yes, I've been there a lot - this is my 11th time in Turin; ironically I've yet to see any other part of the country. Just once I'd like to get over there for vacation instead of business! :-))

Hey all,

Sorry no posts,
Buried at work this week,
(Large children's show, 'Disney's The Little Mermaid Jr')
;P

I'll be back up for air by Sunday, I hope! ;)

Alright, I'm back, in theory. I should be back to a regular posting schedule as of Monday.

Cool. I'm just getting back into posting myself.

Hey all

First of all, thank you for the kind words on the main thread. I appreciate them

I am going to try and re-engage in my PbPs this upcoming week. This might not work well, I am still a wreck emotionally, but I do hope that it can be an outlet to channel some of my energy. Stay tuned

We'll be here whenever you're ready and feel up to it, Pat. Take whatever time you need.

We're here for you whenever you're ready Pat. Take as much time as you need and know that our thoughts are with you.

Triple ditto!

Just take care of you and your family Pat.

We're here for 'monster therapy' if you need that too. :)

Thoughts and prayers are with you,

Sorry folks. I am afraid this week wasn't conducive to creative output. I will endeavor to stay involved, but it might take longer to update than I had originally thought.

No worries Pat, take your time. :)

Things still kinda in flux here. A lot of changes and such. I am still committed to keeping the game up, but it might be into September before I have the free time to devote to it. Stay tuned.

Hi all. I just wanted to stop by for an update, since it has been a while

I haven't really been all that creatively motivated this summer. I do love GMing this game, and I do hope to find the time and inclination to return to my creative mental state. I have begun a second job, and with the added stressors and not being home often ( I haven't turned my laptop on in days, I am basically writing purely via smartphone. )

What I am trying to say is that I am hopeful that this game will resume, but I am just not sure of the timeframe yet. Considering the location i live in i will be basically working full out until Labor Day at the least.

If anyone gets tired of waiting, just post up here and I will fully understand. You have all been very patient with me.

Thanks again, Patrick

Heh, What I said in the other thread Pat, :)

You take care, We'll hope for your safe and sane return to our shared world soon, but please take all the time you need.

Please give my best to you and yours.
I'm praying for you, God bless.

Just FYI, My kidney surgery went well (As well as such things go) And I am now able to sit up long enough to check email.
:)

Hopefully will soon be able to sit up long enough to post posts.
;P

Hope everyone is doing well,

~Rags (Ken)

Good to hear Rags

I am contemplating restarting this game soonish. I will keep you posted

Awesome!

Glad to see you on the boards Pat. :)

Just let us know!

Excellent! Welcome back, Pat.

OK. I found some time to post up. I am going to try and stay current. I realize it has been a while, but jump in as you see fit.

Hey! We're back!

Glad to see you Pat.

Working as best I can to get in gear :)

I know that feeling!
:/

Have a requst for you Patrick since for Felicia I was going for a swahbuckling type class would it be okay for me to convert her over to an actual swashbuckler from the ACG playtest?

Absolutely. I haven't looked at that class yet, but I'm all about making the player happy.

As a note to all: There will be a bit of action soon. I am putting some things together in my copious spare time O.o

Okay character updated let me know if there is anything that I need to explain

Time,... time?
I remember having that. Once. Vaguely.

:P

Sounds good Pat!

Cool Kevin, can't wait to see it in action!

Heads up folks: Long story short: The holiday season is really eating my free time. I will likely do a big post up on Yule (no work-wife working) but I am unlikely to have a lot of time before that. Enjoy the holiday in the fashion you enjoy and I will hopefully have spome good updatage dec 25.

Yay!
:)

Happy Holidays to all, and to all a good night! ;P

Merry Christmas everyone

Been a busier (than expected) holiday. Be traveling for a week. Will check in and catch up as possible. After a week should be back to normal. (Whatever that is)

Happy New Year!

Hey all,

I had even less time than usual over my out-of-state-family-visit. Go figure.

We survived our vacation, but NOW we are all getting sick. Just in time to go back to school. Lovely. :/

I have the creeping crud. I will catch back up as soon as I can lean over the keyboard without dripping on it.
:P

So sorry for the delay. I promise to make up for it with the awesome-est posts I can muster, I promise! :)

Happy New Year!

Hey folks. Apologies are in order. My new year did not start well. I was running my bakery because my boss went on vacation, and I fell deathly ill New Years Eve. I was unable to work one day, which threw everything into disarray, as the shop was closed. Then we had a blizzard which complicated things more. Finally, I was unsure due to several things whether or not I would be working for my boss anymore.

So, again TL;DR I was not diligent in keeping up with posting. Mea Culpa

Holy moley, sounds like reason enough!
No Apologies needed. Ever.

Just hope your getting well now. :)

Always nice to see you when you do have time! ;P

Sorry for any delays on my part.
Been busy, and this week I've been loading in Flight equipment and doing fly training for next weeks Tarzan Jr (the musical) :)

Will catch up/keep up soonest.

Best to all,
~Rags

Sorry,
Shut down for almost a week for a little bit of cold and ice, and now opening night of Tarzan Jr.

Flying, fighting, lighting,... ARRRGH!

We're sorry, but the person you are trying to PBP has been temporarily disconnected, or has gone completely insane. Please try again later,...

Hello everyone, sorry for my absence. Have had a busy past year. I met someone special, we have gotten married, and now we are working on creating our own life forms! Exciting stuff!

But I'm back now, and am glad to see the game is too! (Even if it beat me by 5 months or so)

Patrick. I don't even know what to say. May the creator shelter you and yours. My heart goes out to you.

Wowsers. Congrats Nathan!

I suppose that warrants an excuse from gaming. For a little bit. ;)

Belated best wishes and congratulations to you both!

That's awesome, congrats!

Congrats Nathan!

To everyone: I have been remiss in posting. A lot happening here, but I will attempt to catch up

Lots of travel this week, so posting while continuing may be spotty.

IS all good, I actually have a couple of days off, but it's Mardi Gras, so craziness still abounds, just a little less stressful craziness.

That's an improvement, right? ;P
