At the Foothills of Leng - GM Assembler's Rise of the Runelords

Game Master DM DoctorEvil

Why wouldn't I be? I'm loving the interaction between you two as well, and I wouldn't want it to stop.

Gah! Wires crossed again!

I meant AGM Lemming. Sorry about that.

Well I sure don't plan to stop!!!! So many little details. How will I react when I find out that Tot is older than me? instead or younger like he currently thinks. And working out Tot's history with followers of Sarenrae. And I'm sure there will be others! Fun!!!

Oh, there's bound to be more. I'm sure it will be fun! I know I'm looking forward to seeing what happens.

Merry Christmas everybody! Hope y'all have a great one!

Merry Christmas!!!

Hey, I wanted to give y'all a heads up. My maternal grandmother is not doing well. She's hardly eating or drinking. I don't know how long she may have left. I just wanted to let y'all know what was going on.

Also, Tuesday is when I start having to go up to Tuscaloosa, AL twice a week. If I don't have a new job by February, I'll need to do that commute daily, and that will mean I likely won't have time to post much.

I'll keep y'all up to date on what's going on. Looks like 2025 is going to be a rough start for me.

Hey all, an update on the situation with my nana.

They've stopped giving her medical care. At this point, all they can do is try their best to make her comfortable. I also found out that a great-uncle on my dad's side of the family passed away. If y'all could, please keep them in your thoughts and prayers.

Prayers for you and them. Prayed just now. Will add you to my list.

Thanks. we appreciate it.

I'm a firm believer in the power of prayer. (Player, not the character.) Added you to my prayer list.

Not trying to be a pain but Garen is trained to destroy evil. Here we have not just a goblin raid but a conspiracy to bring numerous tribes together and likely human or demihuman coconspirators. I don't see him rolling over just because a hunter from outside of town says she's got it and will come get him when she finds out more. Unlike most civilians he feels he has a mandate.

No worries, and I get it. I think Grod's proposed a good compromise of helping to train the townsfolk so they can better defend themselves. May not be what Garen wants to do, but it should help alleviate his conscious.

As for Tot, well, she's mostly looking to make a home here while laying low. The fame is uncomfortable to her, and she would much rather just fade into the background. There are things coming up that will give Tot some motivation, but for the moment, she's mostly trying to find her place.

I'm really sorry to do this to you all, but I'm afraid I'm going to have to drop this game. I've recently gotten a promotion at work, which is good, but it's also meant that I'm run off my feet trying to keep track of everything. PbP has been something to look forward to, but I'm afraid I started this campaign without being fully aware of the challenges involved in Play-by-Post GMing. I'm often up until 2 trying to figure things out for this game, and in the light of day, none of it makes any sense, certainly not enough to incorporate into a post. Something has to give, and I'm afraid that I'm simply not ready for the challenge of GMing.

I'm sorry to do this, but know that it doesn't reflect poorly on any of you in any way - you've been amazing players, and I appreciate your willingness to suffer through my bumbling plots for these months of play. I wish you well in your other campaigns and any future endeavors.

Sorry to see you go GM Mokmurian. As I said in the Discord, I understand and I think you did great. In any case, good luck with the promotion and your gaming endeavors.

For everyone else, I'm up for continuing if we can find a new GM. What about y'all?

Congratulations with the promotion.

Break - break

I'm up for shopping for a GM.

GM Mokmurian , thanks for the fun game we've had under your watch, and Congrats on the promotion

I think we've got a decent group and GM shopping sounds promising

That's three of us.
Zorlen? Ari? Grod?

Congrats on the promotion GM Mokmurian. Understand completely. RL beats any game!

Silly Tot! Of course Ari wants to continue!!!

I'm fine with looking for a new GM.

Congratulations on your promotion, GM Mokmurian, and thank you for running the game for us! No need to apologise, it's been a good game so far, and your reasons are completely understandable.

As for looking for a new GM, I'm on board as well. We've got a great group here and I'd like us to continue on.

Here's the Recruitment Thread

And in case I have forgotten, I want to thank you, GM Mokmurian, for getting us this far. I appreciate all you've done and wish you well on your future endeavors. May you days be merry, may your cup ever full, and may you be in heaven three days afore the devil knows you're dead. ;)

Welcome to our new game master, and thank you!

To confirm where we are and the direction of travel of each group. Garen and friends followed a trail from the wall some distance east before turning north and crossing the Old Coast Road. The goblins crossed and went down to the coast. There, the big person with some goblins went east and a larger group of goblins doubled back toward Sandpoint to the west. All true?

The big person and the six goblins had been retracing their steps when they reached the coast. The separation from the larger group of goblins happened on their approach before they got to Sandpoint; only this group of seven returned east.

Hey y'all, my aunt passed away sunday. Thursday I'm flying to Florida for her funeral, won't be back until next sunday, and tomorrow I'll mostly be packing/getting things in order for the trip. Bot me as needed. Or find some distraction that Grod needs to take care of for a few days.

Allow me to give you my condolences. I'll be praying for you and yours, both for comfort and for a safe trip.

My condolences my good fellow. God speed.

My sympathies and condolences to you and your family

Safe travels to you and condolences to your family for the loss.

My condolences.
I feel like we should move on and get the plot progressing. Which set of tracks should the party investigate first?

My condolences and sympathies to you and your family.

My condolences.

I feel like we should move on and get the plot progressing. Which set of tracks should the party investigate first?

Speaking as a player, I think the ones leading back to town should be the ones we look at. Those indicate a more immediate threat to the town.

By the way, GM, I was waiting on a response to my post here. It didn't feel like that conversation was done yet.

Erridon would be more concerned with tracks around or heading toward the town. He doesn't want to track goblins back to their homes.

Those headed toward town. If we find nothing, we go the other direction.

Thanks all. I'm back. Catching up on everything now.

Hello? Anyone home?

Hmm.... Hello?

GM posted in the Kingmaker thread Tuesday. PM sent.

Still around. Figured it was a rough week for some.

Who's still here?

YO!

Hello?

Hello, hello

Looks like that's most of us. :)

I know the GM is having internet issues, but this game's been stalled for a month. Does anyone have any ideas about how to move forward?

It's hard to get a DM to pick up another's game. They didn't plan for it and may not have the resources of time, energy, or internet to knock it out. We could advertise it again, one of us could take over, or we could just let it die.

I run two play by posts and two live games already so I'm afraid I am tapped out.

I don’t want it to die. I understand RL issues, but he hasn’t put anything in Discord either for 9 days. I’d say post for another GM?

Still here.

You never know, he may get his internet fixed and come back roaring.

It's possible, but it's also been a month. I don't want the game to die either, and while I have everything I need to run a RotRL game, I'm also struggling as it is to keep the one game I've already got going at a good pace.

I don't know. I want to give him a chance to get back into things, but the long we wait, the harder it'll be to breath life back into this.

I agree. If this doesn't start moving soon I fear it will die.

Wish this moved like the Wold. Everyone posts everyday, Monday through Friday unless RL really hits hard. Keeps the games interesting.
