War on the Skaven in Dungeon World (Inactive)

Game Master DM Mooshybooshy, "the Foolish"

Back from hunting. It was a blast and yet truly brutal terrain at the same time.

Also, well done with that song, Mooshy. Some of your best yet. Now let's go keep Lyntel up for a few weeks and relieve a few governments of their rat infestation. :)

In the interest of being honest and transparent, I didn't write the song myself. It was originally penned by J. R. R. Tolkien himself. :)

Eh, timing is everything. Good job!

Ok then. Still, well done on inserting that at just the right point. And being nerd enough to know of it.

And being nerd enough to know of it.

True dat.

Sick and un-creative today so no post, my apologies. Everyone mark an XP while I'm gone because my birthday was last Friday.

Happy birthday! get well soon, too.

Indeed. I hope your birthday present is getting better

Hey guys, sorry I've been so quiet this past week. I can't explain why, but it's been really difficult to force myself to sit down and update the campaigns I'm in, both as a player and as a DM. I regret leaving you all hanging for this long and I don't intend to abandon ship, if you'll all still have me; I just need to get back into my creative mindstate and this flu I had for a few days recently really took it out of me.

As soon as I'm able to, I'll resume my regular schedule. I'll be trying every day...I'm just finding it very difficult to focus and just think. My mind is very...unsettled. Anxious. I don't know what kind of mental fugue I'm in but I want to get through it and be done. I don't like struggling this much just to write a few simple paragraphs of text.

Sorry about this, guys. I feel like I fall off my regular posting schedule all too often, every month practically, and all I have to say is that I'm thankful to be able to come back and rejoin my online gaming crew.

Just wanted to give you all an update so you don't think I died or something. :)

Sure thing man, take care of yourself.

I think I offered this before, but in the spirit of Dungeon World's "Ask Questions, Use the Answers" principle, I'm sure we'd all be happy to do some world/plot building. Throw out some questions to keep us busy if you like.

Totally. This doesn't have to be completely on you.

Am a fan of this idea, and have stolen it already.

Good idea, Dhice. I'll bring some questions for you all in my next post. :)

So, what's your thinking on this Mooshy? I think we'd better get a few questions out there for us to riff on or a proper post to get the game rolling again, or it's going to be dead.

I only play in one pbp game at a time, since I know I can't sustain multiples when life gets in the way. I'm sticking with you guys here in the hopes that it starts up again, but I'd like to know soon if we're going to try to save it.

I'm here. But that's not a surprise.

I support Lyntel's idea. If Mooshy is burned out,and I certainly don't blame him considering his RL issues, why don't we move on to a new GM. Mooshy would, of course, be welcome back to play or GM whenever he had the time.

Great job Lyntel. Let's see what we can collaboratively spin up here, and then Mooshy you can tell us if you feel comfortable helping us confront it. If not, I also support the idea of rotating the GM duties for a while.

Count me in to take a turn, if the group decides to go that way!

Haha. Four minutes, four posts.

Moosh's reaction when he rejoins us.

Moosh's reaction when he rejoins us.

That made me laugh out loud in the middle of my work's cube farm.

Sorry for the delay. Life's been a Skaven. I'll update today, hopefully.

Okay, folks, do we just want to call this done? It lasted a year, which is pretty cool for a PBP. Nothing to be ashamed of.

Might be best. There's no sign at all that mooshy is coming back.

Which is sad. This is one of my favorite games that I'm in.

I will probably try to find another PBP on here. Catch you folks on the flip-flop.

In exactly twelve days (wow) I will be completely finished exams, and looking to start running or joining about a half a dozen new games. I've got an Apocalypse World game in the making, and am now thinking about trying out AW: Fallen Empires, either here or on Discord. I've absolutely loved playing with you guys, and if any of you want a new game or have a space for another player, it would be great to join in.

Anyone up for character epilogues? I love that style of wrapping a game. I'll do one for Dhice for sure.

If you wish, go for it. I'll have to think about it for Archepex.

Let's first reach out to Moosh before calling it. He posts on reddit, and has posted much more recently than he has posted here.

I'll follow up with him by PM and get back to you all.

Sure, that's a good call.

Sounds good.

I think my Epilogue is:

Lyntel is finally overcome by the behelet, and is ultimately freed by Archepex.

I'm sorry everyone. I wish I could be better. I can't do this anymore. Not for awhile at least. You are all excellent players and I was privileged to DM for you for awhile.

It was a

pleasure Mooshy.

Please know we appreciate all the work you put in and

we are all extremely thankful for all the hours of thought-provoking entertainment you have shared with us.

Thanks everyone, and cheers Mooshy. Good job on this while it lasted!
