Sorry folks - work is a grind at the moment, loads on and not much post shift energy for anything else.
Hoping this weekend will see the load lighten. Meantime please bot Vex as necessary.
It’s ok BD I have been taking a little mental health time anyway. I’m popping in but I actually don’t have access to my pdf’s yet and I have needed to rest because I had a little flare up health wise because of some work/life circumstances.
DMG, take your time. :)
This game is awesome, and I know we'll keep it going!
But I do think we should finish the scene in the hay barn .

Yes don’t worry I won’t ever ditch. I have a condition I think I mentioned it from the beginning it has always manifested in some way every time I’ve done one of these . Bipolar Dosorder they call it . Anyway I have developed good habits to manage it but my line of work is tough on mental health for anyone .
So here’s the thing guys I just pushed it a little bit too far taking a lot of gigs when I should have maintained a balance . So I went into an episode and it takes me a while to get myself back in order .
Also running a game from mobile is not the best . What id like to do is take a pause and then resume when I’m feeling better and get a new charger or laptop.
Maybe reconvene with the party all together , or maybe just during the hiatus we can do sporadic updates that cover a little bigger span of time . Like , downtime almost. Like, “ describe to me what activities your character does for the next couple weeks in Endhome “. Stuff like that .
Just take whatever time is needed Grimmy. I will try to come up with a writeup for Akkramar, though he is not interested in staying for weeks - there is this undead invasion that needs to be looked into ;)
No worries Grimmy old pal - you take the time and be kind to yourself, this is but a game after all.
I'll have a thought about Vex, but most likely just retrospectively fill in the gaps down the line should we all convene.
Yeah we can post stuff to get us through downtime
I would love to have a harrowing scene where Bez and Melira steal the carriage from undead Rhy..Rhypeth? What was his name again? :D
Incidentally, I'll be on vacation from 4/10-4/14, and won't be posting much during that time. :)

As I recall it is Rhendlyth!
Yeah I am looking out for a post from Melira before I respond in the hay barn . Melira you still in here?
Yup, still here. I posted a couple of days ago, though I was slow to do that, my apologies. We're just hanging out and waiting for the guy to leave before we do our thing, right?
Thanks for the life updates/general considerations about pacing and gameflow. I'm ready to push into the next phase.
Oh hey no problem I’m not giving you a hard time. I’m the one who had a mental breakdown / lost my laptop.
No I was just checkin
No problem. I did not post for a bit when it seems like I should have.
Hugs all around.

Hugs right back at you . Thanks for understanding I just gotta take a little break til I feel better.
Happy Easter everyone
May the great Goddess Eostre bless you with many eggs .
Happy Easter ;)
And continued happy Passover and Ramadan to those who celebrate.
In our heathen household, we're going to paint and marker eggs (with edible paints!) (cuz the dye kits were sold out!!?!?)
Happy spring break to any school people!
We are offically back today. Our district does a Five Day weekend and I only had four days of the five
Sorry for leaving you folks hanging.
No worries DMG ;)
Hope things are going well on your end?
I have the Goblin Pox--er, COVID. Feeling "better" today. Gonna rest a lot. DMG, no rush! <3

Speaking of gaps...is there a THIRD TWIN? ER TRIPLET????!!!!1111one

Thanks for the understanding and support folks. What happens with bipolar is if I let myself go up to high (working those long shifts and not resting properly etc) it gets followed by a crash. I am just feeling totally out of it . I feel weird saying it in public too but I’d rather you all now I’m not avoiding out of disinterest or anything.
I am actually getting on a plane to Paraguay to woof on an organic farm for a month to just reset myself. Here the living expenses are high so I end up in a cycle of doing work that isn’t great for me.
Working on a small farm is very fulfilling, or so says my spouse. Hope you meet some awesome people.

Thanks . I’m here in Paraguay now. Rarely have stable enough data to post.
I’ll touch base when I get back to states.
Hope you are all well.
That sounds so wonderful, Grimmy.
Bez will be ready. <3
Hey all wanted to touch base and tell you all I’m sorry I let our game fizzle out. I never wanted to be a DM that abandoned games but I was going through some serious mental health challenges with my work being unhealthy for exacerbating my condition (literally I was trying to post on this game sometimes while sleeping outdoors and a couple times in homeless shelters!) so it’s not like I was just being flaky.
I had an incredible experience in Paraguay and made contact with native people from the land of the Gregory river who live as guardians of the Amazona , still hunting and fishing and living a simple life . They have beautiful songs!
I am back now in states with stable internet but I hesitate to fire up the game since I always seem to end up having these issues sooner or later with these games.
I remember I was seeking a co-Gm to be able to tag team with and that would have been probably a good idea.
Just wanted to say thanks to all for hanging in with me and hope there’s a way to find a way for your characters to continue on at least somehow.
That sounds like a cool and potentially life changing experience. It's probably a good idea to focus on what's important. Thanks so much for the update, I'm certainly very glad to hear that you're doing well.
Currently I myself am not looking to add a new game on the boards, in case anyone was interested in players or anything.
