Quest #1: The Sandstone Secret (Inactive)

Game Master Diaz Ex Machina

"Out-Of-Character" discussions.

Will drop an introductory post after office hours. Or during, if I have time.

Heads up: I'm having some health issues these days and can't assure my presence at the desktop, so I may post hopefully later, but more probably tomorrow. Sorry for the inconvenience.

No worries, hope that it gets better.

I will be on holiday from tomorrow morning (British Summer Time/GMT +1) until Wednesday. I will still be able to post from my phone but I will be slower.

Catching a local con the next 2 days - see you on the flip!

Guys, I'm very sorry, but I need a couple of days to get better. I caught a very bad cold, my head feels just like two balloons [cit.], I need some time to recovery. I'll try to write something Friday or Saturday, ok? Meanwhile I will get tested for COVID, hoping everything will be fine.

No rush on my end. Take care for now.

Hope you feel better soon. Take care.

Get well soon. Take care, GM.

Hey y'all, sorry for the prolonged silence. I still feel very s*+@ty, I don't really have the strength to put into PbP. I'm sorry, but for now I have to pause all my games on the forum. Tomorrow I'll finally get tested for COVID and I'll know what to do for this illness. Thank you for your understanding.

I hope you get well soon. Take plenty of rest. It is better to have your focus on your health for now, it is more important.

To my PbP games:

Having family over / visiting family this weekend through next weekend, and my posting will slow down a bit during that time, but I will try and pop in every couple days.

Cheers.

Heads up, everyone. This is a message for all my games.

I am leaving on Wednesday for two weeks. The place is pretty remote, so I -MIGHT- have online access, but no promises. If you don't hear from me by Friday morning, activate the bots.

I will be returning on June 30th.

Hi y'all, I'm feeling slightly better, and should be able to resume my duties as PC and GM toward the end of the week, I hope. Sorry again for all the troubles I've caused you, and thank you for your understanding.

Hi y'all, I should be able to return to the tables after this weekend. I hope you won't mind having me with you again, I know I've been sick for a very long time (I still don't feel completely fine, hopefully next week will be better). In any case I'll try to post on Monday, have a nice weekend y'all!

Down to pick up where we left off!

Sounds good, glad to hear that you are doing better!

I'm back!

Hoping GM is okay!

I will be stepping away from the Internet for the next 2.5 weeks, returning at the end of July.

As Briney is a pretty complex character, if it's easier to just remove him from the campaign, I would prefer that decision over assigning someone to casually Bot him, for what it's worth.

Cheers!

Hi all!

Hoping everyone is doing fine.
Would everyone be okay resuming play the following days?
(I know rainzax/Briney has been offline, but he can resume after.)

That should be ok for me.

Still here, still kickin'

I'm okay with it.

Pleased to continue!

I understand there were health issues involved, but I thought I'd ask how is everyone doing, and whether we will be picking up on this at some point?

Cheers.

Your GM is definitely out with some serious health issues. I have reached out to them and they will not be returning soon.

If you would like I can step in and help you finish out this quest?

Yes please?

I am not in a rush, really. But sure, if yoy have time and players are still watching this game, it would be preferable.

That would be awesome!

Yes, please.

I can start posting again tomorrow!

I'd be good to restart as well, thanks a lot!

Please fill out the following link for your chronicles.

RPG Chronicle Link

Nvm I found your chronicle information in the maps. I can hand jam them in.

Will post in the morning. On holiday in France.

Below are your chronicles. Please let me know if there are any errors and I can get them corrected right away.

Chronicles

Chronicle looks good. Thank you for running the game!

The game has now also been reported.

Thank you for the finish.

Hope all is well with Diaz?

Hello everyone.

I'm writing this post to apologize with you all about my behavior. I've been badly ill, then depression kicked in, and left you all by yourselves because I couldn't find the guts to face you and tell you that this adventure was over. I failed you, and for that I hate myself.

Today I've found some courage to write these few words to let you know that I'm alive, although not well. Depression is devouring me from the inside, and aside from that I'll most probably undergo surgery this Autumn because of my nose-related problems.

I don't feel I'm strong enough yet to don the mantle of GM once again, but I'm trying to get back into the hobby to try and fight against my mental illness. I'm going to see also some experts, see if maybe changing my meds will help, I don't know.

Again, I'm sorry for what I have done to you, how I treated you. I don't ask for your forgiveness, I don't deserve it, I just wanted to close this failed attempt at GMing and let you know that.

I hope you all will find better people then me to have fun with in the world of TTRPGs.

Just glad you are okay.

Wishing you well on your quest to feel better!

Hope you get to feeling better soon and it will be great to have you back!

Yes, don't worry about it; we do this for fun, but it's of no import compared to anyone's health. I hope that things get better for you.

It's always okay to take a step back from things. As a matter of fact, I did exactly that few years back, when I bit off more than I can chew in terms table amount. I burned out, then left the paizo boards for a while, and did other stuff.

This is a past-time, and nobody will hold what happened against you. For what it's worth, you were great at running the table.

Stay safe!

I wish you well and stay safe!
