Glad to hear that Dak's wife and Otavio are both trending in the right direction!
Wishing you both all the best. Take your time, we'll be here. ;)
Glad you're both back and fine~!
I'll likely be without internet access until Tuesday afternoon. Please bot my PC if necessary to keep things moving.
Sorry for the delay guys, will have a post up in the morning moving us on. This is one of those more creatively intensive ones and I haven't had the mental bandwidth to do it yet :P.
No worries sir. It'll give our drunken poet a few more days for recovery.
Took a bit longer than I had intended but there you go. Have fun :D
Tossing out a note to all my games. I will be off to Disney World next week with my family and the extended family starting Saturday morning through the following Saturday night. As such my posting will be limited to non-existent. I will try and check in if I can in the morning or at night but not sure how that will go. So just be prepared for a bit of a slow-down over the next week.
Understood. Make sure to enjoy it!
"Accompanying us is the fiercely capable and loyal Capricia Belacrest-Mazeme…."
Gaaa!! Take it back! Edit your post!! The Maxemes were pretty much wiped out in Taldor by Pythareus (according to Capricia's backstory) because one of its members, a privateer, went rogue and turned pirate!
Capricia is using only her Belacrest family name in this game, as they're not nobles and likely unknown in Taldor.
Ahh... sorry. Sara probably doesn't even know that part of your name... will do now. Sorry again.
Ahh... sorry. Sara probably doesn't even know that part of your name... will do now. Sorry again.
No problem. I'm pretty sure I never explicitly made a point of Capricia hiding her Maxeme name (though she would have). The original Capricia was in a short-lived "Plunder & Peril" game on these boards, where it was good to be a pirate! :)
Dropping a note in all my games, I am back from my week long vacation. Hope everyone who celebrated had a good Thanksgiving. Going to be working on catching up on things but I got sick over the weekend so moving a bit slower than normal. In any case, I will get caught up ASAP.
Almost caught up on things, should have a post in here tomorrow.
Sorry for the delay all. These War for the Crown games take the most effort out of all my games and don't want to short change you so sometimes takes me a little longer than I would like to get an update out.
@Dak: what's Caspian's situation here? I imagine he has his own room(s) at the palace (presumably under dust sheets) and that most of the medium to long term servants know who his is, same applies to most of the guests I assume. Am I ok to RP accordingly?
Yup all that makes sense.
So question for you all. On these social rounds do you prefer when I wait for everyone and then do a massive summary or would it be better, if I just replied one by one as people posted and then just let you all know once the round advances and you can get in another Roll?
Whichever is easiest on you gets my vote.
I'll second Sara. Your ease is most important - for myself I like a big collective post (when say at least 3 of us have acted) but whichever our almighty GM prefers is most important!
Oops--forgot to reply to this yesterday. I'm good either way.
Merry Christmas everyone! May you all be comfy, content, and full!
Happy Holidays to all! Hope folks got some neat loot!
Merry (insert your holiday of choice)!!!! I hope your day was delightful and so full of food your side split open a bit to let out a little room. :)
Hope everyone is enjoying the holidays. I'm moving slower than usual with all the family time and festivities as you have likely noticed, but I will start getting back to normal on the 2nd. Will check in as I can but otherwise everyone have a safe and enjoyable New Years!
Happy New Year for all! May this decade bring fluffy snow and great dice rolls to all!
For anyone who's interested in text-based games, there is a recent one I've found that's free. AI Dungeon 2 is a text-input based game, without a limitation on what you can reply with in text. The AI will respond to any input, so it's quite fun to see how far one can go with any scenario you can think of. Kind of like a d&d game without (any) limits. The web based version doesn't even require any downloads, so check it out at play(dot)aidungeon(dot)io
Happy new year to you as well, Rossana! No fluffy snow though, I think yesterday was in the high 50s. :(
Any chance of a progress update on the various influencing?
It is all on the Loot & Notes spreadsheet linked at the top of the page, under the Jubilee tab :)
Yes. Sorry forgot to respond to your OOC question. Each individual requires a different number of influence checks to move up each attitude tier. (Like the ones you can do with Diplomacy) Once someone gets to Helpful that is as high as they can go.
I'm amused and mildly terrified by how this whole social scene has turned into 'who can marry Caspian off first'.
@GM: I know we've had four rounds of influencing npcs while playing trucco. Does this mean Trucco and the jousts are over now?
They finish up at the end of this round.
@Sara: Don't forget that this is a social round as well!
Thank you for the Reminder!
Dak, did Sara's roll on Onara get help at all this round?
Yes, sorry I missed it between page changes. Will add it in when I get a post up
Thank you sir :)
Sorry for the delay all. Last week was crazy and that rolled into the weekend. Just started catching up on things today and didn’t quite get this far yet. Will have a post in the AM
My vote, of course, is to keep Master Ficklebopper around, botting or keeping in the wings if we need him, for when you are ready to come back.
Same here, so don't over do it.
Botting Bimble is fine with me. If you'd rather him to disappear briefly until his player can return, maybe our house spirits could kidnap him and keep him for a mascot 'til the rest of us rescue him or negotiate his release. :)
