I'm open to suggestions, but I this does a good job of being good at fighting as well as doing performance combat well. I have 8k gold left, so I can still do a bit of buying. Not sure what that might be as yet.
Also, don't really have a background thought up yet, if one is needed.
Ok, so suggestions, so we'll go with him as is. I might spend my last 8k on something, but nothing big.
Hello :D Welcome aboard
I will have your post up tonight or tomorrow morning.
No rush. Just reading the current combat events.
Hello everyone, as expected the holidays are slowing the games down. I am enjoying my weekend and will have all of your posts done on Monday morning. Have a great weekend!!!
As we are getting closer to Christmas, my time is getting shorter. I am sorry about the delays and promise we will be back on track after the new year. I will try and post when I can. Thank you all for being patient and Happy Holidays!!
This is to be expected. I'm about to announce it in all my games. Have a good Holiday.
No problem. Have a great holiday and we can kick it off again in 2019!
Happy New Year!!! OK now that all that holiday stuff is over for me, I can get back to my usual pace. Normally I have plenty of time to do your posts during my working hours but today is busy but I promise you at some point you will have your post today!
Hello everybody, I know I said we would be back on track but things are a bit rough here lately. I backed out of a number of my games I'm playing in and reduced my tables so that I can spend what time I do have on these games. Unfortunately, I might not be able to post til later today... just depends on how work goes in general. Thank you all for your patience.
Take any time that you need. RL is more important than any game.
Hello everyone, I know we are deep into this module but I’m afraid time restraints on my life has increased and I’m finding it hard to make time for complex posts this game requires. I will be halting this game as well as a number of my other games. Sadly I feel bad I have to do this as we all know, life is life.
Thanks for the game and the notice that it's ending. I fully understand about needing to cut back.
Oh well, hope you get things back to normal. Thanks for the invite.
