GM Sphen Rise of the Runelords: (Clever Subtitle)

Game Master Sphen86

So, umm... are we in round two already? Sharman cast bless in round 1.

BTW, Sharman knows neutralize poison, to treat spider bites. And looks like it can also be used "offensively", to neutralize the poison in the spider (didn't know until just now...)

I would also like to thank Ceven for helping push this along. To 100% honest, I had so much going on outside this game, that a part of me was glad that it was inching along. But I am also glad that it's about to pick back up.

And I know that it is selfish of me to thank Ceven since that entire account is just a secondary one that I created to get myself into more games. But what can you do?

Just because I'm lazy and do not wish to comb back through the thread; would anyone who was willing to play test the Gauntlet please send me a PM with their email address. Thank you again.

I hope that all of you (that celebrate it) had a wonderful Halloween. My kids stayed out longer than ever this year and came home with quite the haul.

And our Mario themed costumes were well received.

I bet your kids were adorable! I miss having trick or treaters come to the door. The houses are too far apart and the streets too dark where I live now.

We rarely see many, but we were graced with about a dozen sugar-seeking urchins last night.

Tomorrow I try another half-marathon. Wish me luck or pray the rain holds off a few hours. If you have pull in either area, it would be great!

I'm just going to own that I ordered candy from DoorDash because I didn't want to go without Candy Corn ...

Own it, no shame in it.

I finished my half marathon a few minutes behind my goal, but I’m ok with it. We started under threat of thunderstorms and it rained the entire time. Mostly, I just haven’t invested the time to attain my goal. And I have to be ok with that because I don’t have enough hours in the week to do everything.

F all that. You finished a half marathon. AND in the rain. Congrats on that.

Thanks, that made me smile. I ended up comfortably in the top half of the finishers, maybe in the top quarter. I just focused on my time, not everyone else’s. So yeah, I’m really happy with it.

The actual secret to success is not letting other people define it for you: you suceeded, on your terms, and that's awesome.

Today is an embarassing day.

I can't post anything IC today, I'm sorry. I am grieving the loss of my future.

Today is an embarassing day.

With love, I am pretty sure that was actually yesterday.

Ima be straight with yall. If those are the best candidates either side has, they should all just quit

Oh man... so 2016 all over again?

BTW, where you get that 41.5%? I read the turnout was around 65%

It was hard to watch even from across the ocean. My heart goes out to all of you.

Yeah, I'm not going to be able to agree with you Ain. I know Kamala wasn't perfect, I personally didn't agree with her on Gaza, but she had the knowledge and exp to do the job. And she was tough enough to do it.

Don is a bigger piece of trash than the Pacific Garbage Patch.

GM is being gentle ... Vanity Fair, was not. TUESDAY

I will not be gentle also: I've already compared Ain's comment to those memes that have been floating around: VADER

Not sure we're in the best place to save Varisia either:
"I know the Runelords are bad and I know they worshipped sin ... but I just don't know enough about Kendra Deverin."

All day Wednesday, that scene from Revenge of the Sith kept running through my head. "So this is how liberty dies, to thunderous applause."

I know some of us are feeling not so great lately, but I would humbly suggest we lose ourselves in the game. Also, to keep the game going.

I'm ready.

I apologize for the delay. RL has been very busy lately.

Also, let's not make the farmhouse into another month-long "how-to-enter" planning :D

Easy for me to say since Sherman stays in the back... But perhaps the same style as to the spider's nest?

Just to make sure that it is said, I will not be posting on Thursday or Friday of this week due to the holiday.

Hard not to agree with this, and I have already posted one suggestion message. If I weren't worried about damaging treasure, I would actually just say that Ain should set the place on fire.

I'll be little quiet this week, i work in grocery so ... You can imagine the problem

I've said my intention. I have no business being the vanguard and do not want to volunteer other characters.

The delay last time wasn't time planning, it was real life kicking several of us in the shins. Very hard. We had a plan.

Then if we aren't going to burn the place down to drive them out, I say Cev gets in the air, blasts the door, goes invisible, get's behind them when they come out, and avoids Ain's fireball also.

OK, let's put some details down - vague "I destroy everything" leaves us not knowing what anyone else is doing and we don't even have enough information to debate.

To make an plan for purposes of people picking it apart, I offer the following:

Cev batters the front door down.
The vanguard (Estella, Elisani?) stand back to see what comes out in response. Cev accompanies them if/when they enter.
Ain and Tarphrex are behind the vanguard to buff or ranged spell snipe.
Sherman brings up the rear to keep the rest of the party conscious.
Shalelu watches the party's back and the recently-rescued wait outside and sound the alarm if they see anything.

Tarphrex will cast haste on the party when we engage with an enemy. Until then, he can possibly assist Elisani with trapfinding.

Sounds like a plan.
When the party members do not need be actively kept alive, Sherman will debuff the enemies.

Yes, that plan sounds good to me. In the future, feel free to assume Estella can take up the vanguard. She wasn't really built for that, but I think she'll perform the role just fine.

I have some prep to do for tomorrow, but I will get Cev's attack on the door posted this afternoon.

For those that celebrate it, wishing you a Happy Thanksgiving today. And if you are preparing the meal, find time for you, not just the guests. Of course, if you don’t celebrate American Thanksgiving, may you enjoy a great day as well.

These thoughts, well echoed, to all of you.

I am thankful for the opportunity to game with you.

Happy belated Thanksgiving!

We don't celebrate, but thanks to Black Friday rubbed in our faces everywhere, it's easy to remember you have the holiday over there :)

Happy belated thanksgiving from me as well! Hope all went well!

Happy Belated Thanksgiving and an early MERRY CHRISTMAS. It is my favorite holiday and I am stoked to be back in the season.

I hope you all had a relaxing time and are ready and refreshed for Pathfinder.

It was good here. A day with each side of the family and almost everyone was able to join us. That’s rare any more.

Thanksgiving went well, a low key family dinner with good food and good company. My nephew and his wife were able to make it this year, which was great. They're both nice people.

Another Christmas fan! I love baking, giving gifts, and all things sparkly and shiny, so this is my favorite holiday too.

Now is probably when I should take ownership ... I listen to Christmas music OUT OF SEASON. Yeah, I'm that guy. Nothing will turn a bad day around quite the same way, and no, I don't care if it's May or June.

That said, it does feel better during the season when people are judging you (less). It was really nice to go to the grocery store and have people being pleasant to each other though, I'll take more of that.

No Thanksgiving here in NL, but the Christmas season is slowly rolling in as well. This is my first Christmas in a long time where I'm not living alone, so I actually put in some effort to decorate! The place looks nice now! It took me 2 hours to untangle the curtain lights.

It took me 2 hours to untangle the curtain lights.

That would be my speed when it comes to decorating. “You sit here out of the way and detangle these.”

And I would be happy to do it. I’m no Scrooge, but this is my busy time of year at work while everyone else takes their time off that they’ve accrued while I was taking long weekends and short adventures.

+1 to singing out of season Christmas carols. No talent assumed or expected, at least not if I’m singing.

Got an awesome birthday present yesterday. The entire War for the Crown AP with the map folio and pawn collection. Thrilled.
It'll be years before I get to run it, but it's going on the list.

Sorry I've been quiet. Holiday season in my job can be annoying and i haven't had much to contribute. But i am here i promise

Glad the Thanksgiving grocery crowds didn't trample you!

Hang in there, Ain!

I haven't been feeling well lately, but I'm starting to feel better. Holiday stress does a number on my seizures. I promise I'm still here too! Just slow.

Its the combination of thanksgiving, Christmas and everything in between that does the damage lol

Side question anyone here own a steam deck by off chance? I'm wondering about quality

I am barely cognizant of what one is, sorry. Planning on doing a show?

Missed this! Happy Birthday! I’ve never played War for the Crown. *whistles innocently*
