The savage tide hits Arcadia

Game Master Scarletrose

What's the word gang? Are we going to try to revive this or are we archiving it?

I am willing to revive it but I am getting pretty much one answer per month.

I am willing to change format or take new players if necessary but I need to know if you are ok with going forward and .. well .. get some participation. I guess I will show the next room by tomorrow (although I hoped I could get more people involved first) but eventually we will have to either become more active or take measures to switch the pace for those that want to continue.

I was responding as fast as the GM did, and others.

I did have some RL stuff in December. Nothing I could avoid. I can keep up 3-4 posts a week for certain. It might be best to jump ahead to the post-dungeon area, if we're getting new players if we've lost some (it seems we may have)?

I am all for continueing. I should be able to post at best once a day since school is starting back up. If you guys want to change up the pacing, I am okay with it, as long as it doesn't require more than once a day.

It took us about six months to do the last 50 posts, we have tried during that time to reinvigorate the game at least four times. I'm happy enough to keep playing (I'm posting daily in my other game). The key is that everyone has to be doing that to energise the game. It feels like different individuals have being trying at different times.

Sadly, looking at the more recent track record I've highlighted I'm not sure we are enjoying the game enough to warrant trying a fifth time.

Cheers

map is updated and the room has been revealed and has enough features to discuss...

Hope we can restart this.

To all my games :

You may have noticed I've been iffy responding since Thursday the 4th. My wife is having surgery (again) Wednesday. Her mother was supposed to fly in to help, but she had an emergency Thursday and ended up having a minor surgery Friday. So I've been canceling work trips, and generally doing all the stuff she was supposed to be here doing. I'll continue to be iffy this week. Sorry. Will hopefully be more consistent week after next.

Prayers for a safe surgery and speedy recovery!

Good luck mdt. All the best to you and yours.

Best of luck to your wife and yourself, mdt.

busy week end and Monday, I will get on with the pbp tomorrow probably as I can't update the map from my phone

Thanks SR

Thanks, SR. I'm going to be out of the country from 2/26 - 3/10 and won't be able to post during that time frame. Please bot Gavin as needed.

That was the most handsome alias I had. Apart from halflings and gnomes.

Hehehe, good stuff, Bedu.

Gavin's going to hold off until the others act. Of course, if he could talk in combat, he'd tell you why :/

Sorry everyone, life's been hitting me hard recently, and I've had a severe lack of energy when I've not been working or travelling. Every other week I spend about 20 hours on planes or in airports (sunday and thursday, 9 hours up and 13 hours back). On top of that, all the family stuff has taken a toll. Plus, my wife is working from home now, so when I'm home, she's working 11 to 8 and I'm working 8 to 4:30, makes it very complicated. Nothing like seeing your wife 24 a day or 0 a day depending on the week to make things topsy turvy. I'm finally getting used to it though, and I hope to be back to normal posting going forward (with occasional lapses from exhaustion).

Looks like Scarlet is being hit hard as well.

No what happened is that I overestimated my cellphone and the hotel internet connection but ... new American girlfriend came to visit Italy, I wanted to at least warn you of my absence in these days but again ... I'm not sure if it was my phone or the hotel wifi but I was unable to do so.

I'm back though. Sorry for yet another unexplained delay. Is your turn now.

Congrats, SR!

CN, LN, and CG, all agree Vanthus should be skinned alive and keelhauled.

Wow, you have to be a real piece of work to have 6 different alignments willing to pay a gold piece to watch that happen. (My assumption is that any LE/NE/CE types would also pay a gold to watch just on the general idea that evil people like to watch stuff like that, assuming they aren't allies of the one being skinned... or at least, that they have no immediate use for them...).

I'm so glad that I managed to make you hate him this much.

Ditto.

Yeah, Gavin's generally a pretty good natured guy, but that ends the moment you burn down his family business and then drop him in an island cave and leave him and his friends to starve to death in the dark. That kind of thing leaves an impression.

I am moving out from my place and I will be in a sort of limbo for around 1 month.

I might be able to read and post in that period but is absolutely not a given.

If I cannot in this period I will likely be in the US when I write again.

Wish me luck

Luck, let us know if you can.

Sounds like a traumatic time, SRose. I hope it all pans out well for you.

Regards

Good luck with the move, SR. Where in the US will you be?

Good luck SR. Real life comes first, its no problem.

Woo! Congrats! Which state is the lucky one, California or New York?

neither.. I'm going to Massachusetts

So its over a month. How much longer do you think it might be?

Been longer before, give it a few more weeks.

here I am.. settled in the us finally and it took a while to get control over all my accounts as my e-mail was freaking out seeying me log in from a different continent. If you are all still here and ready we can resume our campaign

Busy weekend but I should be ready to rock by Monday. Okay?

I am ready whenever everyone else is.

ok for monday, anyone else?

Still here, been slammed, but here.

Monday's good for me. Cheers!

Here.

Yay a level!

This week has been pretty hectic. I'll get Gavin leveled up tomorrow evening.

I'm down with returning to Lavinia and then setting out immediately to trap Vanthus. As SR says, the window is small.

I'm a hobbit - I like small windows!

Profile updated.

I'm not sure what to go with? Do we benefit more from me going off bardy or roguey?

Hit points: 1d8 ⇒ 4

Probably bardy for the group, but Bedu would benefit more from rogue. Go with what you want to play first and foremost!

HP: 1d8 ⇒ 1

Aw crap. That's not good for a front liner :)

Health: 1d8 - 1 ⇒ (2) - 1 = 1
It looks like we both rolled really poorly.

remember, if you roll below half your die you still add half of it as per house rules, so those 1 are actually 5 same with bedu that is 8

^ Woot! That's much more agreeable!

+1 fort, +1 ref
+8 hp (5 + 2 con +1 favored class)
+6 skills (4 + 1 int + 1 hu)
- alchemy, diplomacy, intimidate, religion, perception, spellcraft
spell: shield of faith
revelation: war sight
feat: power attack

I've taken a job 17 hours from my current place of residence, and need to trim some games so that I can move and get settled in (and sell our house, wrap up at my current one, etc.).

Unfortunately, I'm going to have to drop this one. I've enjoyed gaming with you all, and appreciate all the work SR has put into this game. Please mark me inactive.

It has been a pleasure.

Well darn. Do we look for another player?

Enjoy Gavin, good luck with the new job and house hunt.

All the best Gavin.

Bad timings or maybe the straw that ..... but I need to do a similar thing in that I have 2 accountancy exams in one months time followed by a holiday so I'd like to shelve Bedu until after August. If you would prefer to find a replacement then I will understand.

Cheers
