Well I'm still here, even if it's not every day. I just cant wait for Évelyne and Vinccenso to get back so we can continue on with this story. I'm interested to see where it goes.
I just hope I can make it interesting ;)
I'm Ba-ACK!
Still interested. Verry tired from driving until midnight last night combined with running around today to get things done before returning my son to his mother's. Western & Southern Colorado were wonderful & it was fun to see many of my family again. If I manage to figure out downloading pictures to a website I will try posting a link.
Cool beans. We didn't go too far in game, Vin.
Cool beans? No worries, I'll just put them into the microwave.
Ugh, Paizo was down again... I'll get back to you once I've updated my game, I've kept them waiting for too long. :P
I know the feeling.
I just get antsy sometimes for something to do. I really need to get away from this night job, it's really messing with me and I'm getting too old to stay up all hours of the night anymore. I just wish I knew more people that I could really hang out with. This has been great for me, actually getting to interact with other people instead of just playing some silly game on facebook, but I need actual socialization as well. Oh well...maybe someday.
I'll be gone for a couple of days. Family stuff.
Okay, be safe and have a good trip.
Ugh. Worst. Trip. Ever.
But the important thing is you're back!
Hello?
Yes? Were you waiting on us? Sorry, I've been busy all day for once. I'll look at Gameplay & see if I can make a post.
I'm sorry everyone. It has been a hell of a week so far. Things didn't go quite as expected with my mom, so I was away a little longer than planned and had some car issues. I have just been exhausted. I'll look back at the posts and get caught up.
Big surprise, I have to go out of town again. Hopefully for not so long this time. Mom hasn't been out of the hospital for very long and has to go back to the doc so my dad wants me down there to help him out since she is still having a hard time getting around. I'm hoping soon that these trips will become less frequent. I'm sorry for all the delays. Hope everyone has a good week. I'll let ya'll know when I get back.
I'm gonna be out of town for a couple days as well. *sigh*
This game really hasn't gone anywhere...I think it's time to call it quits on this one. In a way, it's fundamentally flawed. I think that roleplay accents the space between combats, not the other way around. Well, this was just an experiment, but I think, if I run another PbP, I'll try something a little more traditional. Thanks for sticking around, y'all :)
Really? :(
I suppose it is your decision in the end, but this is one of the games I have liked the most and I'd be rather disappointed to see it end.
Alright, I know Tesia is still interested in playing, but it's been quiet around the board. I'm a bit sick today, so I'll leave this open for now, pending a final decision. In addition, I'd like all of your input to figure out how to keep this game going strong.
I have also been enjoying this quite a bit. I think you may be selling yourself short there GM, although I will admit we are playing against the system's strengths, which may be part of the problem.
To the brainstorming request, I will give it some thought & see what I can offer. Regarding my lack of posting over the last few days, I blame misunderstanding & starting back to school on my part, and I will definitely see what I might add in play as well.
I agree with everyone. It is different than any other game I have ever played, but that't what I like about it. It's not all oh look it's another goblin, look over there it's a kobold. I get tired of playing games where all we ever do is just run around hacking and slashing everything in sight. I love the challenge of having to roleplay more into the story. I don't know if that makes any sense, but it's just how I feel. Blame it on my being a Libra and a totally hopeless romantic. It's how I usually end up getting myself in trouble.
I just love a good story and I agree with Vin that you are selling yourself short and just have to realize that as much as we all seem to thoroughly and sincerely enjoy this game, sometimes life and time just seem to get away from us. So, that being said, don't ever think that just because we don't post on a continuous basis that we aren't interested, because...obviously we are. :o)
I'm just typically used to maybe a person or two being quiet for a few days, but it seems like this game just has ups and downs more than usual.
Some of that might be due to it not being like the other typical games and some people might need time to figure out how to react to certain situations. The other bit is that alot of us seem to have lots of life stuff going on that takes up alot of time. I really don't think it's you or your story. I've never had PBP experience before though, so I can't really say if it's flowing the way it's supposed to or not. I've never even run a game before, so I really don't know. I just wanted to see where it went, thats all.
Still around Fiona? I'm about to start an encounter :)
It's alright. It's just good to know you're still with us :)
@Evelyne: :P
Combat map is up top.
Oh my! When did this all happen? I guess I've gotten a bit behind too. Sorry all, just been dealing with alot lately.
I'll give Fiona until tomorrow evening to post her action, otherwise I'll just NPC her actions for this round and move along.
I'll get something up later today, NPCing actions if need be.
I just wanted to apologize for taking so long to respond. There has just been alot of stuff going on and I haven't been able to get to it as often as I'd like. I'll really try to do better.
Still with us, Fiona?
I think we are short a Fiona now. Do you want to continue as three or shall I recruit another person?
I would like to continue, either as three or recruiting another, I can see value in either decision.
Guys, I apologize but I feel I should probably take a break from PbP for a bit. I just wound up leaving a Campaign I had a great deal of time & enjoyment invested in because what I felt was a simple miscommunication snowballed rapidly & to be painfully honest, I can't tell if I was over-reacting or took too long to make the break.
I'm going to take about a week off, GM Henry Fortuna, please go ahead & 'bot' me if needful.
I would like to continue as well, but our numbers are dwindling unless Fiona comes back somehow. I leave it up to the majority as to what to do. Of course our GM has the final say...so if this is getting to be too much or is felt that not enough interest is shown...then I would understand if he wanted to shut it down.
Vin, I'm sorry for what you went through in your other game. I hope I haven't been too disappointing as a fellow player. Hope things get better for you and hopefully you'll return soon and things will be better. There I go, repeating myself. But really, no matter the outcome, I just want everyone to know what wonderful fun this has been for me.
My best to everyone.
It seems we find ourselves at this point again, but I'll see what Evelyne has to say about it.
I think that three is a perfectly adequate size for a group. That being said, I'm all for adding a player or two more if the GM, as the only one who knows how the plot will unfold, thinks that it would fit the narrative to add a few more characters.
I hope I haven't been too disappointing as a fellow player.
You haven't disappointed anyone, silly. :)
No, you've been a good player, Tesia. I've had my share of intolerable munchkins and you're not one of them :P
I need to give this some thought. This all started with a festival and has kind of become a little globe-trotting journey. Unlike my other PbP's, I really haven't considered much of a direction for this game. There isn't some grand mystery behind everything and I think there should be. I wanted to try a heavy-roleplay sandbox and that isn't keeping things together as well as I had hoped. I have drawn up a few NPCs but they haven't contributed much to the story. So, over the next few days, I'm going to concentrate on giving this game some direction and an overall plot. There are some angles you can pursue and perhaps I can tie it all to Quiverpike and the Stone of Verona somehow. For now, we'll proceed with three until we wrap up the Athelway story.
Awe, thanks guys. *blushes* That all sounds fine to me. The story just seems to take on a life of its own sometimes. Its hard to sometimes keep things together when we go outside our element I think. But as far as stories go, I think it's been an interesting one so far.
Ok, really didn't see that one coming. Gotta love those surprise plot twists. LOL
After the fact, I realized a further contributing factor was that last week was finals week for my accelerated college class. I have three five-week classes, of which one just finished, so I believe that in the interests of not having another episode like this past week, I will likely be taking another hiatus when my next final comes up in about a month.
Yes, I'm back.
It's good to have you back Vin. School can really stress a person out, but it's worth it in the end.
School's for fools!
We don't need no education!
LOL
I'm going to end this game. I just can't run it anymore for the reasons I stated in DM Eric's game. Thanks for trying this jumbled mess though. Your patience and crazy role-playing made it worth something to me, at least.

Having some experience with Depression myself, I understand. That said, if you ever feel better or simply want to 'talk' please don't hesitate to PM me.
If it helps in any way, understand that I feel you have performed in an exemplary manner both as a co-player & as a GM.
Awe man, well it's okay.
