LOL,
He's not NOT saying it either,... ;)
Good old Kessel, saying in one sentence what it would take ANY of my PC's a paragraph! ;P
Question to GM, my languages are probably a bit wack for your home brew world. What language would be the equivalent of Mandarin? Any other languages that are either widely spoken, or, previously very common but no longer spoken (IE: Things old writing tends to be in from a few thousand years ago). I've got 8 languages (including Common) to pick from, but only had 4 listed (and they are still Golarian specific).

Mandarin and Sengenese would be similar. Seng is my Asia counterpart.
Some homebrew languages you might like:
Xoltec: The ancient tongue of the Xoltec Empire. Handy to have a working knowledge of if you are traipsing around the jungle. Like Latin it is no longer spoken except in certain places as a ritual tongue, but like Latin it is the mother tongue of several modern languages.
Sliss'Pok: The lizardmen natives of Mazatil
Salt: The local patois of Dragoran that most Eastern Islanders talk.
Basically drifted far enough from Dragoran to qualify as its own language.
Dragoran: The 'common' tongue of the continent of Dragora. Many of the inhabitants of Mazatil and the Eastern Isles are refugees of the Bright Wars of three hundred years ago. They brought their tongue with them. Opal is a Dragoran-speaking city.
Zapateci: The tongue of the Zapatec Confederation. Derived from Xoltec, it is spoken by the city-states on the eastern shoreline of Mazatil.
Ok, then I'll go with Sengenese, Xoltec, Sliss'Pok, Salt, Dragoran, Zapateci, Celestial, and Infernal? I'm assuming being able to speak gods and demons languages can come in handy. :)
It can't hurt :)
It can't hurt :)
LOL!
Oh, wait,... :/
;P
Is it my imagination, or has a large section of the party gone silent?
We're still in shock from the OTHER thread! ;P
YEah, seems like we're a little less chatty than usual. ? :/
Everyone OK? Still hanging around?
I know we're about to get really busy, (I mean, even more so than usual.) start-of-school time snuck RIGHT up on us this year! :P
Still here, just nothing really to contribute at this time. I think Egan had planned on exploring the area around the fort... if he needs his canoe to do so... that is fine. He'll send Whisperwing ahead to scout, and would be willing to take any that wish to join him.
I'm about the only one posting...
Well, this game has had its ups and downs, for sure.
I'll continue if people want, but if it's become a drag for some because of the uneven postings I can shutter it. It up to you all.
I'm ok to continue, if the posting ups. If not, I'll stick Erick aside for another game. :(
The problem I guess I'm dancing around is this:
Over the next two months or so my life is going to get rather hectic. I am moving to a new city, and I am starting a new job. The postings will get sporadic, but that doesn't mean I will give up if there is enthusiasm. But, if you folks aren't feeling it, and you'd rather me shut the game down that would be ok as well. I'd rather put the extra effort if there is interest, otherwise I'd rather concentrate elsewhere. As always, it is up to y'all.
The game is worth the wait I think. ;)
I love the setting, and NOT knowing everything about the setting is a nice change of pace. I get to discover it with my PC. :)
ALthough I DO understand that the start/stop can become frustrating. Heaven's knows I can drop off the radar for a day or 2 without warning in advance. (Sorry about that.) :/
For the record, I like the game, and would love to continue it. If we have to delay it and return to it after a bit to allow for RL, I'm fine with waiting. I'm also fine with a slower posting period for a bit, and ramping it back up when possible. Monkey certainly deserves a chance to get a new job up and running! :) (You worked hard enough for it!) :P
Whatever the group agrees with I am fine. I will do my best to keep up either way. I like the characters and the interaction. And Pat always seems to be able to surprise me JUST when I think I've got the monkey figured out! :)
OK.. I'll keep it going. It's not that difficult anyway
You are a monkey of many talents! :)
AND near-infinite patience at times, I think. ;)
Heads up time folks. Come Saturday I will be going on vacation to Canada. In the past my cell use has been restricted by the international exigencies. I will possibly post depending on WIFI access. I will be back on a regular posting schedule 8/15
Have a great week! -Patrick
You enjoy!
See you when you get back!
So, my long-suffering players:
I was a bit over-optomistic about my engaement level when it came to these last few weeks on Cape Cod. Things got so bad I even forgot about the NecroNomicon in Providence this weekend (which I was looking forward too-just got overwhelmed with work and moving)
I am going to try and keep you all updated, BUT
I am travelling into in partibus infidelium soon. Very soon. Like a week.
I had no earthly idea how I could have so much crap.
I am packing solo, and still working a full compliment of days up until I leave.
Please please please pardon me. I beg your indulgence as I try and rip out of my cocoon and take flight. Honsetly I don't know if things will be settled out until October.
I will attempt to keep you posted, but I felt I should give you a heads up anyway.
Stuff,... accumulates.
Everywhere. Including in places you didn't remember that you had! ;P
No worries, best of luck, and take care! We'll see you when you make it back to PbP-Land! :)
Prayers and wishes for the best.
And remember! "NO BOOK LEFT BEHIND!" ;P
FYI to all my games :
I live in Texas (Austin), and one of the options Harvey has is to wander up and over Austin and laze around and drop a couple of feet of water on us. So if I don't post this week it's because we lost power, internet, or both. Should be fine for anything else, we live on a hill so if we have water flooding our living room, the entire Mississippi river valley is under 80 ft of water from New Orleans to St. Louis. :) So we'd have a lot more problems than flooding at that point.
It's already down to 70mph. By the time it gets here, if it does, it'll be 20 to 30 mph.
It's stalled out by San Antonio, moving 1 to 2 miles per hour. Hit a high pressure system, so it's just going to sit there and rain on us all for a week, so we'll get a foot of rain over the week, and San Antonio and Houston will get 2 feet. Some places may get 3 or 4 feet of rain.
OI, I hope your ok MDT!
Some of the pics of Houston I have seen are noting short of ridiculous.
I mean post-Katrina levels of ridiculous. Stay Safe!
Oi, that reminds me, I have a friend who lives out there somewhere (I've forgotten exactly where, near Dallas or Houston I think) that was supposed to be on Skype this Sunday and I haven't seen him.
Time to see if he lost cell service again,.... O_o
It appears that I am smack dab in the middle of the hunting grounds of an angry Air Elemental named Irma, so if communication stops for a while be aware that I'm probably hiding in a hole somewhere, but will pop my head back out when it's safe.
Pesky Air Elementals.
AND their pesky cousins the rain elementals! :P
Buncha wet blankets. ;)
Stay safe Scranford.
Ditto!
Ok. Quick update.
Rough weekend, but after this and a few days unpacking I should be ready to resume the game.
Hope Egan is ok. I'm good in TX.
Nice to hear that GM.
Take your time Pat!
And yes, please, EVERYone stay safe!
Two week business trip. Should be able to post most days, but might be spotty. Camping on 22nd through 26th, so AFK then.
All good Scranford, have fun and travel safe!
LOL,
As I mentioned in all of my other threads, Tis' the slow posting season for PbP's I think. Not just ours! ;)
Take care of business all! It will make your return to the games all that much more satisfying! :)
Sooooooo .....
Taking a bit longer for me to get settled
I am moving closer to returning to posting
Thank you all for you patience!
Heh. 'Settled'. I know this word,
Does it mean "STILL haven't unpacked that box of star wars toys you keep even though you have no means or place to display them"? ;P
Take care and enjoy Pat, I'll be here. :)
OK. It's been too long since I touched base, and that's my fault, mea culpa.
This has been a rough two weeks. For those of you that have my FB, my pup got very sick. I almost lost him. Combined with the new job and new apartment and setting up an eBay store to sell my collection of books, it's been a rough time
However, I should have some time Monday. I want to keep these games going. I apologize for the delay, it's just been a rough time trying to get square here.
Look for some updates Monday!
Copy/Paste from other thread;
Just glad your OK Pat! We'll see you when you get back to us! :D
Lol. Ok I was a bit optimistic. I had a very exhausting weekend. I won't go into the details, but I just couldn't get the energy up to get this all set. I swear, tonight it will be my top priority
Still working. Please bear with. This is a priority, but my materials are scattered and I need time to reorient myself. Thank you for your patience.
Lol. Ok. Hard dates aren't working, but I did make progress. I am working towards getting things back on track. I have my computer up and functioning, and that means I have access to my digital files. I won't say tonight, and jinx it, but certainly through to the weekend we should get the ball rolling.
Copy/Paste from other thread.;)
Just glad to see you back! :)
It is with regret and sadness that I'm going to step away from these boards for a while. It's a combination of many things, and the frustration with the board performance just pushed me to do what needed doing. I've got some things that are taking a higher priority in life at the moment. It's been a real pleasure gaming with you all, and hopefully life will give an opportunity to share this hobby we all love in the future...
I'm sorry to hear that. I know the functionality is aggravating and my own busyness has conspired to make getting updated not so easy. I'm working on getting on, but every time I do it seems like I get the goblins.
Sorry Scranford, but I DO understand!
I've also been unusually silent in threads lately. Accessibility notwithstanding,
Just only so much free time to waste, erm, spend doing on things we enjoy!
:D
It's been a pleasure, hopefully we'll get to see you again!
Take care! (And have fun!) ;)
Ok. Quick poll:
Who is still invested in the game? I just want a quick head count.
If we are short-handed should we take on a few more people?
