GM Quirk's JUNKER'S DELIGHT

Game Master Quirk, Private Eye

Once again I want to check in with all of you. Obviously I have been busy to let this group go. I find that my household has six holiday event, 5 of which we are hosting! Three still to go.

In addition to this, work is rather busy for me.

My Mom is currently in the hospital, though I'm hopeful things will be sorted out tomorrow or the next day.

WITH THAT IN MIND, I think I would like to propose a short pause here. Let's all come back here and do some heavy posting beginning January 2nd.

I do apologize. I think my mind will be ready for more RPGing as December wanes.

Alan

Sounds like a good plan. I hope your mom's ok.

(5 and 3 is 8)

A short pause sounds fine, holidays can be quite the hectic time.

A holiday pause is fine with me too. It's going to be a busy, crazy December.

Sounds good.

No problem GMQ. Your dance card for December is looking quite full! All the best with the festivities and your mum's health.

Happy holidays to all and best wishes for the silly season.

Merry Christmas and Happy New Year to you all!

Same you you, GM! See you in the new year!

Just FYI that I'm traveling for the holidays and will be spotty on my posting until January 2nd.

Hey folks, had one of my cats pass very unexpectedly and unfortunately last night, I might be a few days before I’m feeling up to much.

My condolences for your loss, Uchurtai. :(

Take as long as you need, we'll be here.

First of all, HAPPY NEW YEAR to all of you! I'm happy to be back, and excited to be posting again. Gameplay for this game will begin tomorrow night, January 4.

Uchurtai, as a fellow subject of domestic cat royalty, I'm so sorry. Chef Brian and Ebisu both send their tributes. After that, they plan on eating my offerings of food, then taking a nap.

Pets, they weasel their way into your heart, and then rip it out when they depart. I'd still rather live with them than without. I hope you feel better soon, without a doubt.

Sympathies, Simeon

Oh, yeah, and 'HI!' GMQ. Good to have you back.

Thanks folks, it’s been tough but my family and I are getting through it. Our other cat has been thoroughly enjoying getting many extra pets and treats.

We buried her in her favorite afternoon nap spot in our rose bed, alongside her favorite treats, a nice piece of salmon sashimi, and feathers and bird seed so she can hunt birds in Valhalla.

All that said, I’m excited to get back into things!

That sounds like a lovely memorial

I agree with Thom - a beautiful tribute to you beloved pet.

Happy New Year to all.

Howdy gang!

I'm enjoying the Winter Fantasy game convention. Having a great time.

I'll try to get back to the posting Sunday night.

That's awesome! Have a great time.

No problem, GMQ. Thanks for botting Locket.

...and now I have con crud. I'll find some time to update this game soon. I promise.

ACK! Sorry for not posting sooner! Work's picking up at the hotel again. Though maybe I should have you roll more often, Gath...you seem to get better combat rolls I do than when I play Sen! :P

Sorry, APZ! Should have remembered you were also Idir and have been around.

No apology necessary! It's all good! ;)

Does a 14 make the save?

Does a 14 make the save?

Yes. In fact, I think 14 was the target number. I'll double check.

Also, did I just take down the big bad?! O.O

Sorry for the silence folks, been having a busy stretch followed by a cold and then competing in a lumberjack sports competition. I’ll get my action up tomorrow.

So you were a lumberjack WHEN you were okay? ( ͡° ͜ʖ ͡°)

I was doing some of both! Competing while sick ain’t fun….and the resulting exhaustion from all of it basically put me inna vegetative mood yesterday.

So come on, man. What lumberjacky sort of things go on at a competition?

Quite a bit! So my best events are bucking, where you use a crosscut saw a bit like this either alone or with a partner to saw through a log. There’s also chopping, where you cut through a log with an axe, tree climbing where you’ve got boot spikes and a big rope kinda Mulan-style, and chainsaw events where you cut a log with a chainsaw as fast and precise as possible.

Cool! Do you sing the lumberjack song over beers after the competition?

Or is that joke in bad taste now?

Howdy gang. We'll get this show on the road over the weekend. My Dad has once again been hospitalized. I have been busy handling his affairs.

I think I'll take a moment here and let you all know that we'll be wrapping this adventure up quite soon. Honestly, it's not looking good Do'trulo and his gang.

With the end of this adventure, I'll be back to GMing just two games. I think that will be a much better place for me, and I'll be able to keep up better than I have as of late.

If any of you are looking for a way to continue playing, I'd certainly entertain you joining either my Against the Aeon Throne group or my Threefold conspiracy group.

The Aeon Throne group is in the middle of book 2 of 3. Still plenty of good stuff left! One nice thing is that your characters in this game are very close to the correct level if you would want to port it over.

The Threefold Conspiracy group is getting ready to start book 4 of 6. It's been a rollicking roller coaster ride, rife with paranoia!

If any of you are interested, please PM me. I can find a place for 2-3 of you.

Sorry about your dad, and thanks for letting us know. Makes total sense. Real life comes first. :)

Sorry to hear that! I've enjoyed playing with you guys. I will consider the future. I've pretty much moved off the Paizo boards at this point, unfortunately.

I understand and am glad to have been able to experience this adventure with you!

That being said, whose turn are we waiting on so we can wrap up this fight?

Think that’s me, sorry. Will get to it soon.

Sorry to hear that GM Q. I hope that your dad is on the mend.

Sorry about my tardiness in posting. RL has been hectic.

Yeah, my aunt's been going through a rough patch too. She's had kind of a suite of disabilities since she was born (cerebral palsy's the only one I know for sure) and recently she's been in and out of the hospital, first for a mastectomy and then pneumonia complicated by her not swallowing food. My mom's been going back and forth from her group home pretty much every other day now to keep an eye on her.

Since this campaign is closing, I figured I'd let you guys know about another TTRPG I'm involved in. Parhelion is a PF 1e Discord server with a living world where people take turns GMing. Your character levels up across quests and there are rewards for GMing that can help your character out. Click the link and take a look if that interests you. If you do, give me an @caster4life so I'm sure to see you came by and so I recognize who you are.

We could use good rules for combat in Parhelion's Void (which is kind of like space in that living world), so I'm considering proposing to the admins a modified form of Starfinder ship combat. I could certainly use help with such an undertaking if I ever have the time to do it!
