Invite expired for me too.
But yeah, pneumonia, the holidays... everything is a li'l slow at the moment. No big.
Non-expiring link for your joining pleasure. :D
Hey folks. Still not giving up. This campaign will continue. I went back to hospital for a bit... an infection... back home now. Prognosis is good, but my energy level is pretty low. I feel bad, because in the games where I am playing, I am firing off little posts (which is not usually my style) and this one is sitting. But I will continue. So thanks for bearing with me. I hope to get back on track soon.
Just glad you're ok. I've got other games to keep me occupied, no worries with taking your time here.
I am fine with the waiting. Hope you are doing well.
'Trying not to die' is a perfectly legitimate excuse for pausing things.
Recover swiftly, but effectively!
I just re-read my post realizing that text is not the best for getting intentions across and realized it seemed kinda callous. Take your time, get better. Even if I didn't have other games to keep me busy I'd still want you to take your time. I only mentioned that to let you know not to even worry or feel bad about delaying as long as you need to.
So Springy...I was trained to raise a fog on the battlefield both to bring fear to enemies and to extend my hex abilities....is that the fog you came from? If so , you really are my little sister and I will have to hug and squeeze you and love you forever.
Just a heads-up. I'll be heading to visit family from Sunday through Wednesday, and I just found out they have no Internet (they just moved), so I'll be phone only for that period. If the game picks back up during that time I'll still be able to post but might be short ones on an irregular basis
Happy Holidays everyone! Merry Christmas to those celebrating today.
Happy new year all!
Same to you!
Keeping hope alive.
Was going to wait until Friday to post this, but since someone chimed in earlier.
Our GM seems to have disappeared. They haven't posted as a player in a game I am GMing for some time either. Not sure if you all want to attempt to search for a replacement GM or not. If not, this weekend I was planning to hide the game from my active games.
A replacement GM might be nice. I do have a feeling he's gone, he hasn't posted in the other game he's a player in with me either.
I'd be down with a replacement gm, yeah.
Well assuming Endol is down for it I can make a post. I think we may have also lost Cellaich so there may be need for a recruitment as well.
The one question for you all before looking for a replacement GM; since we barely got started would you be down, if the GM preferred, to restart the game completely? Just want to know if I should throw that out as an option to entice a possible replacement GM.
I am perfectly fine with that. I've just always wanted to run this AP, and I really like my plan for this char. Starting over works just as well.
I am down with a replacement GM and willing to do a restart
saaaaame.
We didn't get anywhere, after all.
Sorry for the delay, but I finally got a recruitment post up for a new GM. Stole Amestri's classification of the group to add in there since I thought it was fitting. Feel free to jump in and add anything you like.
Feel free to jump in to the recruitment thread every couple days and post to bump it to the top so we can see about attracting a new GM.
Suprised (and very pleased) about how many GMs seem interested.
I have no idea how to pick a GM. My kneejerk is natloz.
Any other thoughts from the group. My two choices would be Natloz or R0B0GEISHA.
They are both running currently active PbP games so that is a plus. The pluses I see for Natloz is that he is pretty light on what he is running but it has been going for a few months now, also he has already run through most of the game in his real life group so already has a background with the AP, plus he was first to show interest. As for R0B0GEISHA he is running a lot of games so would hope that would keep a solid commitment, looks like it is primarily taking over games from GMs that left so that would be perfect here, but admittedly I didn't delve too deeply.
So what does Amestri and Springy have to say?
I like Natloz. He's the one who has shown the most interest in the AP itself which bodes well, with R0b0geisha as a 2nd choice.
Hello everybody! I see you've been talking about me... I'd like to thank you all for the vote of confidence. First things first, is Springy still here? She's the only one that hasn't said anything in a while. Second, I don't think we need to start over, that initial mist part is painful to do in pbp format. Third, did anyone discuss any background or anything with oniwaban before he disappeared? If not, that's fine, I'll come up with the relevant bits.
As for my game management, I have a link for my 5th ed Princes of the Apocalypse slides in my header when I post. I'll try to do something similar here. One big exploration map and a smaller combat map where relevant. Im no artist so please forgive the crudeness. It will probably be a downloaded map with the room number still on it.
I know we lost one person at least. I'd like tui give Delmoth right of first refusal as they were the first to respond in the gm thread.
Any questions before we delve back into the eldritch horror?
Welcome GM Natloz! Not sure about Springy, was wondering the same thing. As far as backgrounds, I don't know about the others, but aside from what is in my characters background spoiler in his profile there wasn't anything additional.
It looks like you guys were built with two traits and then a campaign trait on top of that?
Yes, looks like that is correct. It's been a bit since we created the characters :D
Delmoth here. Natloz graciously said I could join you fine folks as a replacement for your missing rogue, I rolled up an alchemist but took the vivisectionist archetype. Dr. Ermengarde has lost most of her memories except she's certain she's a doctor of some sort, not a medical doctor, but she is strangely fascinated with anatomy.
I look forward to playing with you!
Natloz, in terms of background he asked us to fill in a full backstory and then leave the recent past empty. As far as I know that's where it sits. I'm happy to redo or erase my background if you prefer to do it a different way.
And welcome to Dr. Ermengarde!
P.S. I'll ping Springy on Discord to see if she's still around
Your backstories are fine, I was going to make a new thread do a write up on the mist part and the initial fight as there isn't much you can change about either of those scenarios and doing it in play by post is kinda painfully slow.
Dr. Ethyl, you can add a second non campaign trait to bring you up to everyone else.
I'll wait to hear about springy before I do any of this though.
Springy is still in. Been on vacation. Said she'd check in shortly but I figured I'd let you know she's still around.
Springy is on vacation in texas.
It smells funny here, but at least there's no murderfog.
But I'm still totally in. AND A BLANK SLATE OF FUN. :)
Thanks for checking in on your vacation!
Dr. Ethyl, you can add a second non campaign trait to bring you up to everyone else.
Sorry about that. I added tireless logic.

I set up the slides. They are the link under SA. I'm going to wait a bit to get the thread going. I'll update you all when it's ready. I want to make sure I get it all right.
Now I'm gonna have to go back and get to know Ms. Batgali again. Been too long since I looked at her. BTW GM, in case you are the type to be interested in our intended progression, she has a minor obsession with redemption and I plan to prestige class her into an Evangelist of Saranrae, which should add some melee ability and meld really well with the Ashiftah archetype abilities.
Poor Springy might get a little nervous once I get to produce my own murderfog though...
I do not have quite a full back story.
I have an idea why Endol the the aristocrat duelist is.
I have an idea who Onnend the Ratfolk alchemist is.
I don't know how/why they are sharing a body, or if the memories are lies.
I will need to do a little changing if we are dropping the feat tax rules.
I am also a little worried that my deciding to take a Medium Rapier for flavor is going to cost me.
We can leave the rules in place, those being automatic bonus progression and feat tax rules. Do any of you have any particular reason that you picked the campaign trait that you did? Just curious
I'll get the discussion thread up soon by the way.
Springy has attention span issues, so I went with twitchy.
It's literally that simple.
For Jagray it was the description of being very perspective, thought it fit in well with his class and the way I see an inquisitor hunting down the truth of things.
I feel that methodical mind was a good fit for what I want to do with Ethyl. That is calm, a little cold, and detached. I want her to use her logic as a shield against her baser desires.
I do have a question about the feat tax rules. It appears that throw anything and catch off guard were combined into one feat. As an alchemist I get throw anything as a bonus feat. Does that mean I get the combined feat instead? As far as I can tell they don't address this specifically.
Amestri having been trained as a Quadiran battle witch, enduring stoicism seemed to fit best. As someone who weaves in and out of fog in battle doing close ranged combat as a squishy caster, it seemed that fear would be something that she was good at controlling.
If I remember correctly, although the initial recruitment post stated automatic bonus progression, the initial discussion post left it out. I thought we weren't using it, only the feat tax rules. I guess we'll leave that one up to the new GM.
Discussion is up here
Gameplay is up too!
