Welcome! This will be our discussion thread for the campaign, for out of character questions, comments, concerns, rhetoric, waxes rhapsodic on the spheres, and so forth. I also have a Discord if you're interested in having a more direct and quick method for chatting; just let me know if you want to get in touch there as well.
For right now, I'm mainly interested in seeing a full profile for Rei so I can double-check the mechanics and be sure we're ready to go. Your backstory provided an excellent hook for how to start things off, I believe, so we're good there.
I should have a full Crunch and Backstory up at present. I still need to re-include the story I posted, but I'll do that when I'm not posting from a phone - all the formatting code is a bit tricky.
Sing out of there is something you still want to see mechanically in there (I could swap a few things up and start with Trapfinding for example if you felt that beneficial).
I'm on discord as well, so I can easily chat there also!
Looking over your profile, things look good other than a feat and a trait both just marked as "custom." I'm guessing this is from using HeroLab to create the profile--it looks like that standard printout--but I'd appreciate updating it so I know what those are. (Rather, the feat. I know the trait is Sugimatu Scion, and I suspect the feat is Deadly Agility since we brought that up at one point.)
Beyond that, I believe we're ready to go, so look for Gameplay to start soon! I'm very excited, hope you are as well.
Yep, it’s Deadly Agility and my special trait. I named it in profile but for some reason HL won’t export it out. I’ll take another look and see what I can do.
Very excited to get things underway!!
Alright, your first post is up! As noted, I don't plan to make any decisions for your character as we continue, because this is your story and the emphasis is on how you act and react. Never hesitate to push the game forward with your posts or actions, because I will avoid doing that myself if I can. And never hesitate to just let me know in either thread if you're ready to move on.
Apologies for my silence--I was visiting family this weekend, and between the Internet at the house being very spotty, and being busy with things, I didn't get a chance to update the games I'm running. I've just gotten back to my own house, so expect an update tonight or, more likely, tomorrow!
No worries GM, I'm still here, its all fine :)
Just update when you can, its good
Just FYI--gonna do my best to update at some point today, but I've come down with a cold so it may not happen if my head doesn't clear enough. Should be good to go within a day or two though.
Just posting in all my games to apologize for my silence lately. I've been really busy the last couple weeks with the end of the school session and a lot of grading and related work to do. I should be back to a more regular schedule next week, and I'll be doing my best to check in until then.
Thanks for the heads up GM, I guessed something like that had come up. Its all fine~
Just letting you know I probably won't respond until tomorrow. I thought I was all good to go here, and today suddenly my brain is taking a dump at trying to formulate the next post. Might even get something later today, but wanted to make sure you know.
Hey no worries GM - all good. I dumped quite a bit into that post :)
My deepest apologies for not updating yet. I had prep for a real-time game yesterday that took significantly longer than planned, and today I had a slow start after some insomnia last night followed by work that took a lot more out of me than expected. I will be up and make this a top priority tomorrow morning!
Hey no worries GM! Work was slamming me over the last two days anyway so I wouldn't have been able to post anyway. Its all good :)
My apologies that things have slowed down here. Between family coming home for the holidays, and the holiday season itself, it's been a bit hectic around my home. In addition, I seem to be catching every cold that comes my way, and haven't had a ton of energy as a result. I've learned hard lessons about burning myself out by forcing things in the past, so I hope you're alright bearing with as I take my time with posting at the moment.
Absolutely no worries GM - don't stress!
I'm actually really busy atm as well as I'm moving house during this week so I have been a little stressed packing, cleaning, organizing, (even stuff like internet etc in the new apartment). So honestly, taking a break is totally fine as I could do with a few days breathing space myself too.
Sorry for another delay--we got almost two feet of snow dumped on us over Wednesday into yesterday, and I've had to spend a lot of time and energy the last couple days helping to take care of that. Today I also had a short session I was running and a longer session playing, so my apologies that this didn't end up getting my time! I plan to update in the morning, so look for something tomorrow, hopefully.
Just giving you another check-in since I haven't updated in a day or two here. The final stretch to Christmas is definitely here and weighing on me, and while I'm doing my best to handle everything it does mean I don't have as much energy to go around as normal. I'll try to hopefully get this updated later today or tomorrow, but if not it'll probably wait til after the holiday.
Hope you're doing well wherever you may be!
Hey no worries GM - X-mas is both busy and stressful for a lot of people (myself included) so take all the time you need. I appreciate the heads up but take care of yourself first and foremost.
If I don't hear from you before the holidays - then Merry Christmas to you and your loved ones :)
Another break for a few days here--the last couple have been unexpectedly busy with sudden plans, and likewise the couple after New Year's have suddenly been filled with a short trip. We should be back on track by the 4th of January.
Hope you're doing well and have a great start to the new year!
Not a problem GM! I'm recovering from the flu (I hope) so the small break has been good to me. Take care, enjoy the trip, and I'll see you in 2021!
My apologies for this latest delay--the week started with a migraine that I was recovering from the next day, and by the time I found time to post it was the middle of the site's breakdown that happened, and I've just finally been able to fix it.
I'll hopefully have a post for you in a little while here, but Fridays tend to be a bit busy for me so it might not be until tomorrow.
Seems like all I'm saying in here lately, but: sorry for this latest round of delays. Life picked up a little, but it's mostly that the past few days I've come down with another bad cold that's been killing my energy and ability to think. I'll hopefully get a post up later today, but if not it should be tomorrow of Friday at the latest.
Its totally fine GM, life comes first!
This latest delay comes from some busy days and a bunch of days lately where I just don't have the mental energy to write up our next post. My apologies for that.
We'll hopefully be moving along within a day or two.
No hurry GM (honestly, take all the time you need), but just checking in and hoping you are ok.
If you need a long break, thats totally fine, I'd just like you to take care and look after yourself GM.
Thanks for the check-in, it's really nice to see.
Obviously I have been in need of a longer break--this is the first time I think I've even logged on to Paizo since the last post. I've been in a bit of a slump, lately, and just haven't had the energy to write much of anything, including a post for this.
That slump isn't over, but I realized I'd never posted here and had the energy in me to at least check in on Discussion. So here I am, letting you know that I'm okay, relatively speaking, but I will need a bit longer before I update the game.
Thank you again for all your patience and understanding so far, and I hope you know I understand if all the waiting around is too much for you at any point. I'm hopeful to make some changes, get out of this mental state, and get things moving again sooner rather than later.
Thank you for letting me know how you are doing GM, I was getting a little worried.
Anyway, take all the time you require, your headspace is all that really matters. Take care~
