Does anyone else hate being an adult some times?
Whenever my daughter tells me she wants to be "big" I remember saying it as a kid and ruing the day now!
You don't know what you have till it's gone
Busy today. I'll be posting tomorrow...
If ever... I just joined a campaign, which takes place in the wonderful realm of Krynn. We haven't even really started, and players have already disappeared. I have no idea if the campaign will prove successful, but we're looking for people to at least give it a chance!
Krynn brings me back to way back when...
Dealing with some personal issues. Please DMPC as needed. I apologize for any inconvenience.
Got it. All the best. Keep us posted :)
Been a few crazy days. I'll check in on Monday and update.
All good!
My idea was that by paying homage and then visiting with the Bishop that might provide us with a contact to ease our way to meeting with the King. Of course the busiest weekend I've had in weeks if not months is when every game I am a PC in decide to blow up!
Regardless, checking in now!
All good. And attempting to get the help of the bishop is still possible!
Man! I had to post from my phone and junk and I hate doing That, but I know I'd lose my train if I didn't. Also I totally blame you for having to actually sit down and figure out how to do that with the minimum about of blood shed!
To be fair, 50 gold is the last of what she has.
Edit, also I do have some silver but I will gladly wave that. All this coin was left by her mother.
I am reluctant to bring gold coins into the equation... And 50 gp wouldn't have been enough anyway. From what I can tell, a slave would have cost about the same as a riding horse in Northern Europe.
That, and I like the idea of gestures such as these, which are important, being enhanced by sacrifice. Even if 50 coins is a huge sum, it costs Aoife very little to part with it, whereas bartering her horse means that she will have to deal with not having a horse for a little while at least. Does that make sense?
Apologies if I wasn't clear about the role of coins in the campaign. In time, there will likely be some. But not yet.
Bear in mind that you each have a "priceless" item. But I wouldn't part with it, if I were you!
Oh I was going with the prices pathfinder had. Horses are 75 for a light and 200 for a heavy.
Aoife believed her mother set this coin aside, no idea where she got it from, to buy her and Aoife's freedom but died before she could. Before it was worth more to Aoife than its actual worth. Yet after her father stated he wouldn't let her go, and through the story she wouldn't want to leave right now, the coin has lost much of its original value to her.
I just had nothing more to spend it on. With the alterations made for the time and story reasons, I ran out of things to buy so I made the left over coin part of the story.
You can't have my cloak!
I'll update tomorrow night, thanks for the patience DM!
All good! I hope all is well – or at least that, in the immortal words of Candide, all is for the best in the best of all possible worlds.
I'll give Kassidy the opportunity to speak his mind before moving things forward...
Just so you know: once you've all agreed on a plan of action, I will likely describe the upcoming journeys in a single post. I'll roll a good/bad luck check along with a few others, but if all goes well you'll all make your way to your destination... Basically, I want to get to the point, now that you've travelled to Armagh once and that you know the way.
Catching up now and posting, sorry for the delay there heavy RL stuff going on.
Quick questions on the time line. We left a day before Kass, Thorun, and Ó'Máille did yes? Then lost a day because we got lost taking the other way, so we arrived in Turiam the same day Kass, Thorun, Ó'Máille, and the bard made it to Boho. Do I have that correct?
...and you lost another day or so in the bogs...
But... We only failed one survival roll... or is that was the luck dice was for?
It's on account of having lost your way, and bogs being a pain! Don't worry: we'll get you all in Boho soon enough ;)
Psh, more like meet up with them on their way back. But that wasn't the point. I was trying to get a timeline down, because I was confused! >.<
Yeah... At some point, I am going to have to calculate how much time has passed since the whole thing began, and pinpoint the current date!
That would be awesome! So that I can keep track of stuff! XD
Kassidy: I hope that it's ok that I took the initiative? I am hoping to get *somewhere* before the holidays as I will have far less time to post!
I won't be posting for a a few days – likely not until the 27th or the 28th – so let me take the time to wish you and your loved ones happy holidays!
Also, as I often do: given that everyone is presently in Tuaim, this would be a good time to speak up if you feel that this campaign isn't for you. If you would like for your character to step away, no worries!
That being said, let me reassure you: battles will come. The last good fight was a long time ago!
Happy Holidays, all! I apologize for my lack of posting as of late. I would still like to continue :)
I assumed as much!
Note that I just updated the Kingdoms of Ireland in the Campaign tab. In the Breifne and Airgialla spoilers, you will now find the names of the kings that matter insofar as you are concerned.
I will be posting a synopsis of the events in Armagh, along with a useful list of NPCs...
No worries DM, my posting has been spotty as of late for various reasons, likely by February/March when the whole Holidays/Divorce thing is done my spottiness will be a thing of the past :-)
No problem! Would you like me to put O'Kennedy on hiatus until then? We could continue with 4 players in the meantime...
No, I will update now and try to get my posts in more frequently, feel free to BOT me as needed if I am slowing things down. Just wanted to clarify that my lack of posting is due to RL issues and not lack of interest in the game.
I shall say once more, you'll have to beat me away with a stick! XP
Also Happy Holidays everyone!
I totally understand RL...
My question about involvement is not in the least meant to act as a sly statement about posting. Rather, it is something that I have decided to do routinely in order to avoid untimely loss of players. Also, it's an occasion for players to give feedback. For example: a good fight would be nice! Or: we are disoriented and need more information! Or: the story is moving too slowly for my taste!
:)
Also: 5 more posts to 1,000 in the Gameplay thread!

Understood. I am good with how the game is progressing no worries on that front.
I was a little confused with the time scale but as you can see I ask questions when confused! ^_^
Sorry, it has been a crazy few days before sticking the family on the plane to the in-laws.
Very much still interested in the campaign, who wouldn't be really.
Kassidy, I hope everything sorts itself out quickly and in the best way possible. Divorce is never a pleasant thing.
Have a very merry Christmas everyone and a great 2018. I look forward to seeing where we are this time next year.
Merry Christmas!
The adventure should begin anew soon-ish :)
I posted a synopsis of the last chapter in the Campaign tab. Have a look and don't hesitate to comment... And if you want other information in the Campaign tab...
Guys! I think Aoife found a spine! XD
Took a vacation to take a break from our vacation, but I am back now! All the best to all of you for the coming year!
Apologies, on holiday and internet has proved more problematic than I expected. Back on the 12th.
Back from a brief mental health break!
Welcome back! Hope you're feeling better!
Welcome back! Hope you're feeling better!
I'm not but been away too long :-)
I am still here and reading along with quite a deal of interest, great roleplaying! Thorun is just shadowing and listening in quietly.
Got it!
I was mainly waiting for someone to answer Aoife in character. Though If you'd like I could just say someone did and move her idea along.
