Me too.
Hey folks. Sorry about the delay. I was without internet since Friday (I was told I would have it then but it did not materialize. I will have a post up shortly.

Whew, glad it wasn't anything terrible! Game on!
Gnolls are more hyena than dog like aren't they?
Yep, but still reminiscent of canine... I figure that hyenae are not commonly seen in the North...
That was my thinking as well Guiseppe - I believe they are more common around places like Calimsham.
Although a quick Google search reveals that hyenas are apparently catlike? Anyway, most stories reference them as dog men (or the like), so here we are.
Didnt 5e change their origins to make them more demonic?
Yeah, they have fiendish origins... Yeenoghu, I think...
Sorry, was in meetings most of the week and then had my eye lasered on Friday.
The doctor hopes that the laser will stop the aneurysm in the eye which will allow the fluid in the eye to dry up.
No worries. We know you're playing with lasers super busy.
Good grief with the eyeballs, hope this gets 'em back to good. Not fun.
Follow up in a month.
Man, that is brutal! Take care of yourself, buddy!

This should do it.
Got my teaching schedule for the year:
1st: Psychology
2nd: World History
3rd: Psychology
4th World History
5th: English 12 (British Lit)
7th: Latin I and II
I sold my prep for the 5th class because of a hiring freeze that the District has imposed and I have never thought it was fair for students to begin school with a sub.

That's a heavy schedule, Quen! Also looks like fun (I was a nerdy student).

In English I get to teach the Hobbit.
My favorite in English was Rosencratz and Guildenstern Are Dead. It just so happened that PBS was showing the movie with Gary Oldman, Tim Roth, and Richard Dreyfuss back in 1990, and I was hooked.
Such a good play/movie, and a nice spin on Hamlet.
As for the Hobbit, my mother used to read that to me as a child... I guess it's a large reason I am the way I am today...
You must be about my age, because I remember reading that and having the new movie to watch. Loved all of the Shakespeare we got to read. Did not get introduced to Tolkien until college. Never could make it through his books save the Hobbit, which I loved.
Haha, I am 45... I saw the movie in 1991, and had the English class assignment in 1992. ;)
I saw Rosencratz and Guildenstern are dead in the theater.
Nice! We only had two theaters on island, and 2 screens each, so it never made it to ours...
And then Romeo & Juliet came out a few years later, swoon. I still have the soundtrack to that.

Was one of the more innovative takes... I liked that take on Mercutio. It is actually because of that movie that a favorite curse of mine is, "A pox on BOTH your houses!"
I didnt like the 90's Romeo and Juliet.

I ended up acceptung a student teacher
DM, is everything okay? Just let us know what is going on, if you can. I hope that you are safe and healthy.

Agreed. Vrog’s been around a long time. I’m sure something has come up.
So, it has been a week with no DM. What would you all like to do? I am willing to give our DM another week to at least give us an update. What do you all think?
Another week is fine. We can discuss what we want to do if they doesn’t return in that time though. These are the options as I see them. Feel free to add options that I miss.
1 one of us takes over as DM, recruit and finishes this mod out.
- we’d be short one person to finish, but shouldn’t be too hard to swap over.
2 we try to find another DM to take this one home.
- I think finding DMs this way can be difficult but I would t rule out the possibility
3 we call this one a wash and we move on to the next one.
- personally, this is my only current game going. So I’d definitely be down to getting a new one going if we go down this road.
I'm cool with all of those options, though it would be nice to finish this one out.
So.....moving on? Thoughts?
I think we may have to... I am a little too busy to run, but I would be up for playing. Would anyone be willing to continue this one? Or would we want to start something new?
With the new adventure coming out soon, would you all like to begin conversation about Icewind Dale: Rime of the Frostmaiden? I don't remember who was offering to run, but I wouldn't mind doing a round-robin. Maybe alternating missions / quests or chapters?
I had expressed interest in Icewind Dale. That is for sure. I was trying to work up the motivation to run this one through to fruition as well. Just haven’t been able to summon the will to do so. Lol.
Sounds good. I don't know about the books.
I have never DM'd before, I'm terrible at remembering rules, but I could give it a go (husband would be obligated to help!).

No worries! You can let the players be your resource for rules stuff. I can always look it up on D&D Beyond and Copy and paste so that we all can learn it, though usually, I am pretty good at remembering... ;) I still find that I am misremembering sometimes, so it is always better to check.
I think with the book being so modular with hooks and whatnot, we could easily round-robin this one!

I think I would like to play Turquoise 'Turq' Barreltap, human fighter clan crafter (brewer) that is making a new home in Good Mead. I played him in one of the mini adventures of the D&D Live 2020, so he got 20 gp, but is still 1st level.
I intend, down the road to take a few levels of ranger because he is going to become a beekeeper! ^_^
Lol so awesome.
Yeah waiting for the book sounds good. We will need to recruit as well.
I’ve got an AL +1 cert for a goblin. Not sure how I’ll work it in but I may build something around that. I almost want to wait for the new class book though.

Oof, that would ba a wait until November! Maybe if you start the run, then by the time we do a trade off, maybe the new book will come out, then you can make your character then?
Debating on signing up for one of the D&D Celebration games. I hear that you can play a Genie pact warlock or path of the wild soul barbarian in those AL games!
Hmmmm, I don't have a character idea already. So many possibilities...
I’ll pick up the book tomorrow. If the new season content drops, let me know Aesh and I’ll get it downloaded. Let’s just assume that I will run the first game. I like the idea of maybe having the new content for the gobleeno.
I'll have to see if I can root through Greycastle's stuff while he's at work and find it :-)
