This is the discussion for the Atlantis Mercenaries campaign.
BEHOLD, A DISCUSSION THREAD!
Will create a character (within Paizo) and post with it "soon".
Well, that didn't take as long as I thought. Here she is.
I'll get my alias together shortly.
Alias is mostly done. Recycled an alias from a Savage Rifts game that didn't launch, so hopefully I got all the changes.

Okay. I'm feeling under the weather, so I'll start this tomorrow. Hopefully when I feel better.
Do we only have 3 players? I thought a lot more people expressed interest in Recruitment...
I thought there would be more, too.
Zen and I have Aliases done.
Poor Wandering One had their slave branch Alias done, but not their merc.
Storm Dragon checked in on the thread, but I'm not sure about their alias.
Xyndar Illambra expressed interest with a True Atlantean Zapper, but I don't see any follow up posts.
Overall, unfortunately, that looks like it. We had lots of post, but it was from them same crew of individuals.
I don't have an alias yet but it'll take like 5 minutes to make one whenever Gameplay kicks off. Been a busy week for me, but I've been checking this thread every day.
Ignore the Alder Claybourne icon, I clicked on the top alias in the list, which in my other games is the alias for that game, but I guess it takes a while for the game's alias to percolate up to the top.

I had a moment of panic when I saw it. I was thinking, 'Oh no, he was worried about power differentials in Rifts parties, and he made the weakest Rifts Mystic, I've ever seen!' Then I noticed your other profile and realized it was a DnD Cleric, from another game. (And I think it was Storm who made that comment, as opposed to you.)
My alias hasn't jumped up yet either. I think it waits until you post in the Gameplay forum before it does that.

Well I've been sick this week, so I haven't been able to start yet.
Sorry to hear that - take your time, get completely better.

Not an admonition, just a statement. Take your time and feel better!
I'm beginning to feel a lot better. I think I can start this tomorrow. Depending on how I feel.
Been super hectic at work, but not for much longer. I also somehow missed that this was for the Merc game, not the Slave game so mulling over whether I want to retool my Bio-borg's backstory or make a different guy real quick.
Hi,
Everyone, we are taking a break through the Thanksgiving weekend. You don't have to post until next Monday.
EltonJ - both of us are kind of surprised at the brevity of your posts. You seem to give out one piece of information at a time, making it somewhat difficult on our parts to move the game forward. Given the time spent waiting for everyone to post in a PbP game, having only tiny tidbits of information in each post leaves us with little to act on, and makes things feel very slow paced. Would it be possible to make your posts longer and more descriptive? Thanks!
As Zenfox said above, it has been a little hard to get immersed in the game so far, as the short posts have little detail, and the back and forth gives things quite a staccato feel.
I have found that for me, sometimes it works in PbP to give everyone a little more leeway than might be typical at the table, to give people more of a chance to describe actions, situations, and even interactions, as long as it doesn't interfere with the plot or the setting.
I like the concept of the game so far, and the characters, though I wish more had followed us through to the actual game.
Okay, I'll put more description into my posts. :)
Everyone, since it's close to the holidays, I don't expect you to post much. Especially if you are travelling.
Okay, we should resume posting on Tuesday.
Happy New Year everyone!
Do you guys want to continue with this game?
I actually hadn't noticed you had posted a response to my last post and was just waiting. That being said, it is hard to carry a game with only two players, and it might be best to just pull the plug. Do you have an opinion Zen?
If we can speed up all our reply times, and add more content to the replies, I'm game. But if that can't be done because life is getting in the way, I'm (somewhat) ok about dropping it.
