Alright, chronicles for the last one have now been sent out.

As always, please download them at your earliest convenience.

I will say, I am not a fan of the new chronicle sheets - there is nowhere to specifically track your gold and XP totals!

@Nefreet: Don't expect much. None of the 'canon' backstory of the Sahuagin is part of the OGL...

Got the Chronicle...yeah...I don't like them either GM. :-/

*sighs*

New Errata dropped today.

Oooh, cool!

I almost felt annoyed that I just now got the extra alchemy items (at five) right as they change it to lvl one but... getting powerful alchemy for free makes up for that for sure. Gives me a reason to save some reagents too.

I didn't realize until just now that Swim Fins are actual equipment, and boost your movement by +5 feet when rolling Athletics to Swim.

So that would put us at 20 feet on a Critical Success, 15 feet on a Success, no idea on a Failure (not listed), and 0 feet on a Critical Failure.

Although I, too, was looking forward to Mounted Hippocampus Combat ^_^

After long last, it is finally official: Battle Medicine does indeed require just one hand (as does any other set of worn tools, including Thieves' Tools).

Luke, are you ok?

I don't see that he's made any posts anywhere for a couple days, but to be fair, the website has been really crashy lately.

Well something occurred but what?

No idea, but I'll start sending positive vibes now and hope for the best ^_^

Tomorrow will be 1 week since he's posted anything online that I can tell. I do hope he's ok...

Anyone know of anyone that knows him personally on the forums? Just to ensure he's doing ok that is.

I emailed him a couple days ago, but haven't heard anything.

I think a Venture Captain in a nearby region used to work with him. I'll send him an email, too.

Any news from the emails?

I got my first reply Wednesday evening:

Hi, Eric:

Yes, Luke was my VL when I was VC of Sydney. I’ve sent him a message for a catch up, so will let you know if he responds. FYI, it’s possible he’s just been overloaded with unexpected work demands and needed to drop gaming for a few days—it’s been known. But let me know if there was anything else unusual about this other than the unexplained absence.

I replied to him Thursday afternoon:

Happy Thanksgiving!

It's been 8 days since he last posted in any of his online games, and Luke is usually the type to Bot you if you haven't posted in 24 hours.

I emailed him a couple days ago and he hasn't responded, yet. It's just uncharacteristic for him. He'll usually tell us when he's busy.

Hopefully it's just something mundane like internet outage or something.

Thank you so much for reaching out!

And then his response back Thursday evening:

No worries. I've tried a few routes to get to him but no luck so far. Will keep you updated.

I've tried searching Sydney newspapers (and.. obituaries) for Luke Parry but haven't found anything.

Obviously given what's going on in the world right now, I admit I'm worried.

As far as this game goes, I own this scenario, and Luke always uses the same Event information, so if anyone needs the Chronicle I'd be happy to fill one out for you. Just PM me.

As far as this group goes, if we never hear anything back about Luke, I could take over GMing for y'all. But probably not until after the holidays.

Good news!

No death, dismemberment or fey trickery evident.

Just "it seems that he's been completely overwhelmed at work and it's giving him very limited time at home".

So feel free to post positive thoughts here so he'll have something nice to welcome him back!

Yay! Wonderful to hear!

(Other than overwhelming IRL stuff that just sucks)

That is quite good to hear, thank you for finding it out Nefreet.

Yes, thank you Nefreet.

Good to know that Luke wasn't slained by some frozen troll or a giant butterfly.

Thanks to Iomedae he's alive. Hopefully we see him writing back soon. I already took the habit.

YAY! Glad all is well.

Come January I think I want to GM the Bounties. If you guys want to make brand new, 0xp characters, I could run you through the first 12 sequentially. Could be cool to operate as a party of Bounty Hunters working together. And give Luke a chance to actually play something, too ^_^

Interested?

I would be up for that.

I'd be up for that as well.

I applause with both hands to this idea and know that Dranald is ready for it.

By the way I would love to hear something from Luke, even if to say "hello, sorry but I'm busy until..."

Not fine at work right now so perhaps needing some good news.

I miss him, too, but definitely don't want to pressure him if he's so busy that he barely gets any time at home. He probably hasn't even checked this thread.

HERE is the link to the Discussion thread for the Bounty "Campaign". Feel free to discuss your characters, but I won't open actual Gameplay until after the holidays.

I wish all of you a merry Christmas!

Gameplay has commenced!

Since it's been a couple months, I took the liberty of creating a Generic Chronicle for #2-06: The Crashing Wave, using Luke's Event info.

Feel free to download one for yourself and just fill it out with your information.

Thanks Nefreet!
