Use this for all OOC chatter
The Doctor has arrived!
Thanks for selecting me GM!
I hope there are girls in this party... no offense, Dr. Fisty, but I do have some preferences here. Aineyr is a one-way road and he prefers to stick his... nose!... in a more feminine person.
It is almost 2 in the morning here in Brazil so I'll post when I get up!
Hi all. Looking forward to getting a lil silly!
Yeah, they for sure are not retarded but his phrase actually doesn't imply that... an autistic person "lives in her own world" and, to those outside of it, could seem that she is aloof.
So our friend Fisty looks aloof but is actually really sharp. (I guess)
S'quig-aly reporting for duty!
Yes i know it doesn't mean retarded, i am literally referencing common physical characteristics in autism, as well as the fact he is in his own world.

Just waiting for one more the check in. If he doesn't in the nearish future I'll carry on in the gameplay thread.
FYI guys, I'm kind of going on the honor system in terms of stats you enter in to your rolls, spells per day, etc. The aforementioned managing a clinic plus patient load means I don't really have the time (tolerance) to constantly babysit in a game that's meant for comedy. I don't imagine this group would power game it, but just throwing it out there!
What's the point of cheating? It's no fun if there's no real threat of failure. I've had just as much fun with critical fumbles or fails. They're great stories.

No idea. Hope not!
Nope, I'm still around, just waiting for people to post respective responses to the man running off to show the group the farm land (in relation to both the dine-and-dash and actually going to see the farm)
Hey guys, GM_Panic (the person who made the tiny evil but not evil fey character) started up a group with the people who didn't get selected for this one. GM_Panic was interested in a crossover between the groups that will be posted on this page soon. Give the idea a read and send me a private message to vote yay or nae on it if it's something you guys want to do. I like to keep voting anonymous hence the private message. Ultimately this game is for your fun as much as it is mine, so I would like to hear opinions. Look for the post coming soon!

So when did all this "Bro" become a thing? "BernieBro" as a slur arising from manipulative sexism in the Democratic primary, Martin Shkreli is known as the "PharmaBro,"...and what's weird is that it seems to have mutated in a very short span of time to a bad thing from what was at first a good thing ("Brony," "Bro-hug," and the first term I'd heard, "Bromance"). What is this crap?
Blame Jersey Shore. It was a friendly term until all of the douchebaggery associated with those idiots turned it into an overused phrase by meatheads. I say this as a gymrat myself, at best, it's used ironically by normal people now to describe a knuckle-dragging Neanderthal.
I'm afraid I'm going to have to bow out, shit is getting real in my life right now.
I'm sorry to hear that, hope everything evens out for you soon!
No more hugs
Please tell me he didn't "get better"... ;)

I Approve.
Hey. You two gonna post? We're waiting on y'all before we can proceed.
Lol. Yeah. I dunno. We're at 5 now and that's fine by me.
I'm in the same boat with everyone else being quite busy in RL world. My company is working on expanding things, and I'm at the forefront of one of our branches in that. Screening things out takes extra time, so I don't intend on going re-recruitment myself while we have 5.
GM Adamungus, it might be helpful to post who's turn is up as some people might not be aware. I believe Gregor and Aineyr have actions before enmy goes again.

If I may, I would prefer it if the tone of the game were more verisimilar and less self-referential going forward (i.e., no visions of XP floating in the air, and probably less in the way of contemporary real-world references - Wilbert's narrative through the fourth wall notwithstanding if that's important to his spiel). :)
I thought the whole theme of this campaign is silly and fun. I pictured something between Deadpool and Order of the Stick. Please let me know if I'm going about this wrong.
This is, of course, the hard part about dealing with internet. For one, everyone's concept of how a free form game is supposed to play out is likely to be different. Add in the element of preferences for humor and it gets even more challenging. Couple that with how easy it is to lose intent behind typed words when there's no vocal inflection or facial expression to gauge and we end up in situations like this.
To a certain degree, I can't "read the room" very well and ultimately was trying to make sure I'm appealing to everyone's idea of how they want to play. I'm happy to modify the game as the group prefers. Removing self-reference is simple enough for me to do. I have certain limitations on how much time I am able to invest in real life calculations and such, so I will stick with things like awarding gold exclusively as opposed to managing tables, looking up things, etc. However, it's just as easy to have the gold come from a reward from, say, the mayor or a horde being defended by what you killed. Things like experience, again, very simple. It's a matter of .
Ultimately, this game is an experiment of seeing if different ideas of humor can be combined for everyone's sense of fun. My idea of funny is certainly not tied to self-referential. I'm a big fan of intelligent wit, so that kind of modification is about as easy as it comes for me to pull off. Will that be enough to keep everyone happy? Who knows, but like I said, it's all an experiment with no consequences tied to it. Feel free to post thoughts and ideas for going forward if the group would like to continue.
Guys, as I said via PM to the GM, I'm bowing out of this game since I realized this is not my 'kind of game'... good luck and good game for all of you!
Yep, I'm making adjustments to style and continuing forward unless someone else decides to drop
I messaged a couple of people, but I'm cautious to re-open the recruitment thread. I appreciated everyone's attempts to make characters they enjoyed, but the last recruitment thread got very close to going from comedy fun to cybersex and I'd prefer to not have to deal with that again. I'm seeing if I can drum up some interest individually with lurkers on the recruitment boards.

He protests now, but he's the one who gave the go-ahead to Boob-Hunter the Bard and the Hentai Centerfold...
Hey, the tentacle monster was only for hugging, not plugging! Also, when nearly everyone else was sex obsessed there was little other option...
Checking in with Mike.
DM, just let me know when, where, and how you would like me to jump in.
Probably around now or after the group sleeps for the night would actually be an ideal time, actually. First encounter is over, so they're heading back to town to eat and sleep for the night before the next terrible thing happens...
Yay! A bard! Welcome.
Are we waiting for someone to post before continuing?
Not really, I'm more or less letting you guys determine how you want to start this new investigation. Mike can insert himself as he sees fit as well.
