It works well with PbP for the most part, as long as the actions of one group aren't relying exclusively on those of the other. As long as both can progress in the timeline to do other things it works well.
That makes it Zayid, Johnny, and Freia so far on the chase. Pelgrev, Korrith,
Arianna, and Noro at the Old Fang.
First Party Split Adventure! Yay!
It's been quiet today. Early turkey comas?
Not on this end. Just waiting for at least 2/3 of a group to post before I move on to prevent these from becoming one-man encounters.
All three of the chasers have posted.
Well, have yet to hear from Johnny, but ok. Will work on a chaser update as my work permits. :)
Oops, you're right. For some reason I had substituted Pelgrev in for Johnny.
Just because I said something, I haven't had a chance to work on it until now. Naturally.
Zayid, can you give me a Cha check and a wild empathy check please?
Your wish is my command.
Still here - waiting for Johnny and progress on the chase scene : )
Sorry work had me tied down yesterday something fierce. If I don't post move on as if I am being quiet in the background. Should be okay today to post a couple more times.
Just so everyone knows, I won't be expecting posts from anyone until next Monday. I'll be busy, but I'll have my phone so I will update and such if posts happen. I just don't expect it.
Happy Thanksgiving!
What? It´s still Thanksgiving ? God I thought it was only this previous weekend - I guess that's another week without The Colbert Report then...
Happy Thanksgiving to you all!
From our Northern neighbors? Or across the pond?
Tomorrow. That's it, just one day. :)
Happy Thanksgiving all! Oh and, Noro, stay strong!
Thanksgiving is tomorrow.
From across the pond : ) (and to the north)
I'm from smack dab in the middle of the east and center and north and south of the US. None of which want to claim me as a part of their region.
Yay Kentucky!
Well atleast you got chicken ; )
On a more game related note, I just noticed that the beast was snapping at the net not snapping the net. Lets just assume Freia is overreacting and trying to refocus Johnnys and Zayids attention towards the hulking monster next to them
I also find it mildly amusing that no one at the Old Fang has bothered to take notice of the wounded man laying out front that Ol' Mum's trying to save. :P
Might be that we flooded the thread with events taking place afterwards. Besides - it was probably several days since people read the intro scene to the fight and might simply have forgotten. The hazards of pbp!
Indeed. I'm not holding it against them. :)
Happy Thanksgiving, all!
Hope everyone had a good day.
Pelgrev has been preoccupied with dogs, he'll probably go stare helplessly at the wounded man when there are no other threats.
Question: How difficult would it be to try playing this and another PbP game?
A character concept just blew up in my mind, and now I want to use him.
I'm in quite a few PbPs simultaneously, and have no real problem keeping up with them... the biggest thing I'd advise is making sure you don't over-commit. It's easy to do, so just be extra careful about honestly evaluating your availability and the pacing of whatever game(s) you apply for.
The problem is actually FINDING a game... I only managed to find the Loom of Fate because Tobaris told me about it elsewhere.
Why is it always Kingmaker? I'd like to play Runelords, but almost all I see in Recruiting is Kingmaker, Kingmaker, Kingmaker, modified Kingmaker, Kingmaker.
While I have not played either of those AP:s, I would guess it is because Rise of the Runelords is a continuous story quickly moving forward with a lot of NPC interaction while Kingmaker is more slowly paced with more focus on planing the actual kingdom and spans a longer in-game time. Eg its probably easier to run.
However, I have seen a few RotRL campaigns advertised in the recruitment section of the site - so patience, I'm sure some will start one eventually : )
I see lots of Skull and Shackles, personally.
As to numbers, I'm currently GMing two and playing in five, but most of them move very slowly. I rarely post in all of them on the same day.
I also don't post in all my games at once I try and space it out and sometimes I skip a day or so on holiday's and weekends.
I do have a lot of dead games as well.
I purposely slowed up on this game wondering where it will go with the apparent loss of the over-GM.
The other GM's and I are collaborating and cooperatively creating the content that was originally going to be supplied by the Over-GM. It's going to be interesting how this plays out, but I know House Caedmon, the Consortium, and the Order are all merrily moving along.
Sorry Noro, I did forget that. I'll update that and Mum at the next opportunity which will probably be late tonight. My wife is sick, so my time has been gobbled up.
Best wishes for her speedy recovery.
I'm also sick, so sorry about slow posting on my part.
Best wishes to both of you
well wishes to all...
Making up Korrith-names for Ariana is going to be oh so much fun. I probably won't run out any time soon.
Going into work with no Internet access. Next update late tonight.
This is a Public Service Announcement:
I'm diving head first into last prep for my national certification test on the 20th. Therefore, my posting will probably slow a bit until then. I apologize for any inconvenience this may cause.
Okay - and good luck!
Right before Christmas? That's a busy season to have that kind of added pressure.
Good Luck!
It was the only slot available in my region for quite some time. Alas for lack of options. :(
Got real quiet in here this weekend. Anybody else get a bunch of snow?
Yepp - whole town is covered in a few centimetres (~2-3 inches) of snow. Not that it is interfering with any infrastructure (except the trains, shouldn't have bought trains from Italy and expect them to run in sub-zero climate...) I'm just praying it lasts until the holidays!
Was thinking of posting something, but I wanted to give Noro, Ariana and Korrith a chance to catch up. Will probably put something up tonight anyhow, even just some blabber.
We got hit with snow, freezing rain, and sleet. Fun.
We got about 9 or so inches(20-25cm)here. Didn't mess up much, except the football game... Of course, they are calling for a few more inches tomorrow.
The fun never ends!^^
It's actually starting to warm up, here... it was 3 this morning.
If youall want, you can pre-roll things. Just put dice=whatever-I'm-doing or cast whatever spell you wish a d post your intent in its use. I'll post your results. Might be faster than rolling or casting for every deck of these things.
Sounds good. How many do you need?
