GM Parrot's Sea Change

Game Master parrot familiar

Eh, if y'all want to crawl, let's crawl! Will get us started hopefully later today, maybe tomorrow.

Let's fight anything but mindless undead!

Hey GM Parrot, I certainly don't mind helping put a few folks in charge and doing adventure work for them. I just don't want to be saddled with 'running' the town. Whether we 'delve' right now, or after a few things get put in place in the morning is fine.

It's funny, running the town is my idea of a great time, so I kinda hoped someone would want to do it, but you'll be well within your rights if you appoint an administrator. I still might come to you for big decisions sometimes!

And I am working on a little library crawl that should fit right in with where you are right now.

p.s. It's daytime now! If I have to wave my hands to make the sun rise, so it is.

So Naomi would defer to her mom and or dad possibly even her older sister as person she thinks would be good to sit on a council.

If it's daytime, we've been up twenty-four hours what would we need to do after fighting undead most of the night?

This is what Dominic was wondering about earlier, if there was some sort of town administration beyond the Wizard college.

The government is pretty shattered at the moment as the wizards were ultimately the power behind the non-throne, but you'll have time to set new things in motion. Promise I won't be asking your characters to counter-sign every requisition!

So, I would have to re-read my own posts to give a good answer on the timing of things (and that would be a good idea, honestly), but in my head I had the cataclysm happening at night and resolving around dawn. If we go with that, you had a partial night's sleep and then a very stressful early-early morning.

Let's go 'splorin?

If we go with that, Noami and fam we're still playing in her grandfathers pub...

Happy to 'splore tired, just pointing out the beginning so we don't retcon.

Flying out at 3am. Gonna be gone till next Friday. Will be infrequently posting till then.

Safe travels!

Apologies but I will be off line due to family emergency for unknown duration.

Thank you.

All best, Al! Hope it goes as well as it can.

We don't have a quorum, so let's put the game on pause.

I am posting this in all my Games.

My situation

We had an family emergency that caused us to need to travel down to Florida to visit my mom. She has been since diagnosed with Major Congestive heart failure. She can't breathe on her own.

We are back in Michigan. My Mom is currently resting at ease at a Hospice, comfortable but still expectant to pass. Our hope is she will become able to have Home hospice so she can do it at home.

I appreciate you. I Thank you.

I feel that I really need to lessen my commitment to these games. I will be stepping away from many including this one.

I apologize.

Dorian

I am very appreciative of friends and family support.

Thanks everyone for the game(s) and probably adventure with you in the future!

@GM Parrot will you please deactivate Oswald.

Definitely join you guys in the future!

Are we still on a loading screen?

I dunno. Trying to figure out if I can do this game. Work is getting wild. I have five active and two dormant jobs where I used to have, like, one.

It's all short-term stuff but also all very time intensive. Freelancing is annoying that way.

And there's also the issue of Oswald/Dorian's departure to think about.

Sorry to leave you hanging. I should know more about my off-board workload soon.

Gosh, I don't know if I should be glad you've got freelance work lining up, or sad. Not having time to do the things you like is unfortunate. But eating is a good thing.... I hope things get manageable.

As for the game. It feels like you have a good idea, but not everything fleshed out enough to let us 'sand box.' Maybe take a break, and either come back with the idea when it's ready or something simpler.

OK, I totally understand. Just checking in. Hope you're able to find a good work/play balance soon!

I see what happens if I jump ship (as it were)!

Parrot congratulations on all the jobs!

Enjoy it while this round lasts!

We shall eagerly await your.... reprisal of Dungeon Master!

I have ideas.....just saying....

I have still been pushing hard at multiple jobs and my brain is mush more often than not at day's end and the last thing I can do is look at text on a screen.

That said, I think I had my most lucrative month ever in October. Yay...?

Work-life balance will follow eventually! First, the grind.

...and yeah maybe something simpler than a sandbox. I was looking forward to this world, but it may just have to wait.

We're here for you.

Hey GM Parrot, I'm moving the game off my que, would you send me a PM when we get started again?

Thanks.

Sure thing!
