The Hollow Man (Inactive)

Game Master trux

I think I'd prefer going to the recruitment boards as opposed to someone changing their class. People should be able to play what they want. Maybe preface the recruitment with something like 'we are looking for someone equipped for dealing with the undead with healing capabilities' that way the undead hook might pique their interest.

Yeah definitely, what Rata said^^

Grimmy, if you feel overwhelmed by work and trying to keep up with the number of current partys you have running, would condensing us down into fewer campaigns be an option for you?

If you feel the quality of the games is suffering, it might be a viable option for you/us. Just a thought. I can't speak for anyone else, but I for one would love things to be moving along a bit faster.

Did we hit the two week mark between the announcement of the wolves and the first act of aggression? That's a bit steep.

I coulda been a contender cleric.
I'd happily trade per the ideas I posted, dmg

Rata, saw your post just now. Mak is done with the assassinininging-ing

Haha, all in good fun.

Now the question is so we convert Mak to cleric or keep bumping the recruitment thread?

True Mak, I would rather stick with my Arcane concept for now - the thirst for power and all that :D

I would suggest we look for someone in our other games that may be interested in joining, people we already know and play with? At least it would offer some sort of guarantee that he/she would stick around?

Well to be fair it's a lot of roster stuff happening too you know what I mean?

I'm not sure what to do, I definitely wound up overextended. I never knew work would change so much, I used to be able to post all through the work day.

Full disclosure about a few things:

Firstly I will be out of town for work for two weeks starting this Saturday. The day after I get back from that I will be going to the beach for the last week in August.

I will probably be able to post in the evening from my hotel while at work, and I most certainly will be able to post at the beach since the house we're staying at has wi-fi. Just wanted to let you guys know that my schedule might be a bit off, but I'll still be contributing when I can.

Secondly, I just noticed a Razor Coast recruitment thread popped up on the recruitment boards. I've decided to apply just in case this game does indeed fall out from under us. I'm just playing the CYA (cover your ass) game, but if this game manages to weather the storm, I promise I will be here ready and able like an eager beaver.

my contribution is either
1-Fudge me stats and I can be a cleric of Jamboor. (MAAGIICAAL BEEEES!)
2-Kill Mak - Fudge another character in. I'll give us a holy warrior.

Ok cool Rata. Maybe I will get a mobile data plan added to my ipad or something. I have to see what I can afford. A macbook air would be sweeeet.

Trux, don't change your character, we have time before we need a cleric. I'll plant some potions to hold you over.

I could always introduce Karl's cleric sister

Hello people,

Wanted to let you know I am going on a few days vacations with my family this Sunday, and will only be back on next Friday.

I am supposed to have wifi coverage, and will most likely be able to check the boards, but my posting will surely be spotty, if any.

Feel free to bot me as needed to keep the game moving ;)

Have fun

Have Margaritas!

I think I had left the wrong round header on the initiative table up top. It's fixed now, round three.

Damn Grimmy, I am paranoid as hell about what is happening in the village, but I know I will find out eventually.

I also know it will be enjoyable whatever it is.

At least there's no banjo player

A GM from a game I had previously applied and withdrew messaged me with interest in rolling something healy up for us. I sent him links to the recruitment thread and the gameplay thread.

I hope he follows through with his claim, Rata sure could use a cleric poofed into combat right about now, hah.

Dont give it ideas Karl! It's a dungeon master!

Also good to hear Rata

Um, did anyone invest in the heal skill?

I get (+)one.
Unfortunately my healer is currently on Smuggler's Shiv.

We can still use the barons powers after this fight, or say he left a few pots.

Grimmy, are we waiting on Caramir here? Can I suggest that you take his shot for him if he hasn't checked in by the time you're next on?

I know he should be back from vacay soon, but don't want things to fizzle...

I think we're all pretty much here for the long haul.
We can play charades or something if we need to take weekend recess.

The slight pause worked out for me as I got prep done for the fall semester.

BUMP in the night

Is there, in fact, anyone out there?

Always... In the dark ;)

Still here!

Shh. I'm hunting rabbits.

Yes, but I am seriously considering kicking this one to the curb. With the ACG out and Iron Gods games popping up, the potential for great adventure to be had is still very much out there.

You may not know this - but Rata, you're not my one and only...
I'm playin in 2 APs as well.
Just sayin. Dont need to kick anything prematurely.

Here, and waiting. Come on grimey, where are you.

Hopefully he is nearing the apple store. It is almost time for us to spring the trap...

And force him to GM... MUAHAHAHAHAHAH!!!

I'm heading out of town early tomorrow morning. May have wifi access, but I'm not sure if / when. Will be back tomorrow night.

G-Baby popped back in to say hi.

I suppose it's up to us whether we want to press continue with an alt-GM or not.

Does anyone strongly want to alt-GM?

Just took over GM duties in a friend's PbP so I'm afraid I can't take on another. I'm happy to hang around and see what happens either way.

I would like to, but I am thinking of running the iron gods AP. I'm just waiting for the book, already got the tech guide and numeria book. I use to play gamma world in the day, so I'm really looking forward to it.

Are you running it on paizo boards Karl?

Query of course in the event you are willing to DM this same group with different PCs and a different adventure.

It will be pbm on the paizo boards, and I would be willing for this group to have dibs, so to speak, on player places.

character creation details is 20 points, any paizo classes or archetypes, except synthesiser summoner, and that includes the ACG. Races include all core, asimar, tifling, android, ratfolk and any other that is a) not op and b)has a good background.

two traits, one of which is a campaign trait.

Alignments any non evil.

Background of about a paragraph. I think I would like 6 players.

I'll send each of you a pm before I go official, and then recruit to fill gaps.

I like a thug (BSF, lol), a skill bunny, a divine caster, a arcane caster and two others.

That seems pretty cool.

Guys, it doesn't seem like there's a whole lot of interest, but...

If no one really wants to GM, I can GM this game for a bit.

OR ... maybe we could try a game or two of Fiasco! to pass the time.

I'll be honest - I would love a chance at running this game, or even co-GMing.

But the truth is I am involved in a couple of good paced PbPs, with great GMs and players. If I entered this one as a GM, it would impact on those for sure, as being a GM takes up a lot of time and commitment.

Besides I don't really have all the sourcebooks and other stuff that could enrichen the experience.

Makirut, I don't think it is a question that 'no one wants to run this' - Grimmy does, he's simply been cast an Entangle spell by RL - happens a LOT :D

Why do you say there isn't much interest? You think people are ready to move laong and let this one drop? I definitely am not, but it does seem that even remotely Rappan Athuk related games are cursed for me - I nver really grt to play them.

P.S. I have played Fiasco once or twice before - it really makes up for interesting short games.

I just say that because we havent heard weight from morti or okrin yet.
Had a weird moment tonight

Some self portraits you just have to take in your head.
Here I am in an empty cornfield gazing up at the milky way at midnight.

F@+%in life is weird, mayne
Iron gods sound pretty fine when you have the milky way coming down at you.

Or this
Or fiasco
Or what have you.

iron gods looks very good. Should be enjoyable.

Iron Gods is the game I've been eyeballing since this game has apparently been put on hiatus.

If you are serious about running IG Karl, you can definitely count me in. Initially the galvanic saboteur ranger archetype caught my eye, but I really, really want to play a slayer!

Along the same lines as you Caramir, a trend is starting to form where every single pbp I am accepted into, horrible life-altering events seem to befall the GM shortly after. Maybe I should stop playing pbp for the health of GMs everywhere. I'm cursed. Beware Karl, you have been warned!

Edit: Or a techslinger dual-wielding laser pistols sounds very, very cool. Very cool. Gimme.

Was out of town Saturday and spent all of Sunday catching up (still not caught up). Anyhow, as I mentioned up thread just took over GMing a game for a friend so can't GM. Would glad to stick around this game.

Though I'd be interested in Iron Gods, I'm not sure I'd have time to work up a legit character. If something strikes me then of course. Things are about to get even busier for me so I wouldn't want to hold back a new game.

I have just gotten the adventure path. I will put up the recruitment in a day or two. Anyone whois interested, please keep your eye here and I'll let you know when. Little easier than multiple pm's.

it looks good.

Oops, sorry, thought I'd commented last night, but apparently not. :(

(a) If somebody wanted to pick up the reins for this campaign, I'd be happy to keep playing -- though I'll also keep watching for any continuation by Grimmy, regardless. (My concern with a substitute GM would be losing continuity with the other campaigns....though that may be an optimistic statement at this point, to assume there'll continue to be linked campaigns under any circumstance. (Also, if somebody wanted to sub-GM this intro adventure, and that allows us to run indepednently until Grimmy whips his life's entropy back into shape, that might work out?))

(b) I'd be very interested in playing an Iron Gods game, chill, though I'm also hoping to run it IRL, and have already read half the first book. I can pinky-swear to not meta-game the plot -- or to play a tech-phobic Barbarian or the like who has good reason not to use meta-game knowledge :) -- or I wouldn't be offended if you asked me to sit out.
