Could you set the campaign to inactive, so that it no longer shows up under active campaigns?
Thanks!

No worries, life happens :-) All the best!
I'm afraid the continuing low levels of general engagement in this campaign have finally reached a critical threshold for me... Anyway, no hard feelings and I wish you all the very best for the future!
"Third time's a charm..." Braham's mutters under his breath.
Seeing his first attack completely miss the mark, Braham takes a brief moment to refocus, and then tries again.
For the next two weeks, I'm travelling a lot. Will be posting when I can, though...
Braham is slightly taken aback by the missing arrows and by the number of opponents, but then he steels himself, steps up to the bandit in front of him, and starts hacking away!
"This isn't working," Braham grunts. "Time for something else!". He lifts his greataxe, and with a mighty roar lets it descend on the door. If anything, the noise will be a suitable diversion while the others try to sneak into the building.
"Right, let's try this one more time!. He takes a few steps back, lets out a mighty roar and then starts barrelling to the door.
Throwing caution to the wind, Braham runs to the door as quickly as he can, and then starts throwing his entire bulk at the frame. "Drogan, give me hand, will you?", he grunts.
Braham nods, and with a determined look in his eyes, he continues to trudge through the snow towards the door, ready to put his axe in it.
. She holds up four fingers, then places her palms together, puts it against her cheek and tilts her head with her eyes closed. Then she mimics rubbing her eyes and yawning. Braham stares intently at Sia's movements, but his brain needs a more than average processing time before he understands what she means. He tries to make his way towards her as quietly and as unseen as he can...
What does everyone think? Anyone? Given the fact that we lost two more people, I think it's important for the long term health of this campaign that we all discuss want we want out of this game and how much we can realistically put into it...
No problem to open recruitment to anyone. However, in the recruitment post, it would be good to say something about posting frequency. Are we still going to stick to 1 post per week? Personally, I find that if the rate drops too low, it's easy to lose investment in the story. We should make sure it's compatible with everybody's current RL situation, though... What does everyone think?
Braham holds his breath, and tries to keep as still as possible, which is difficult given his bulk...
He waves away Braham's concerns, "If I call out through the space in the back, it's a holler through the door of the s@&$ter, and then the lodge. I don't think they'll spend as much time thinking about how precise the voice is as much as they will be laughing about the fact that he squatted long enough to get frozen in." Braham shrugs. "Fine by me. Let's do this then!" He scouts around for the best place to hide in an ambush, and then gets into position, staring intently at the door of the lodge.
"Perhaps we freeze the outhouse door as you suggest and then call out pretending to be our slain foe claiming he is stuck in the outhouse and needs help?" Braham furrows his brow, and you can almost see the gears turning in his head. "But if we call out, how can we make sure we sound like him? If not, they will think something is wrong. Perhaps we can set the horses free and make use of the confusion to slip inside from the other side?"
I'm going on holiday for a few weeks, not sure how well I'll be able to post while I'm gone, but feel free to bot me.
Noticing that the group has come to some kind of conclusion, Braham vigorously nods.
Braham starts to listen intently to Aavelixia explaining all the different options, but his eyes starts to glaze over halfway through plan B. When she's done, he swallows uncomfortably, hoping for somebody with more brain power to make the right decision...
Braham holds his breath and cranes his neck, to see if Sia makes any signals to the rest of the group.
"Or it might be that the bandits are in there now. Better be careful... Perhaps one of us should sneak to the window?"
Braham nods seriously. Gripping his greataxe tightly, he scans the surroudings, keeping an eye out for any kind of trouble...
After a night's rest, Braham emerges from the hut and breathes in deeply. "Ah, cold air always helps to wake me up! Today is the day we will rescue the lady, I can feel it in my bones! How are you feeling Sturla? Ready to do some more brave things?"
"Yes, looking for a better place to camp is a good idea!". Braham glances worriedly in the direction of Sturla and inwardly curses himself for having been so slow to run through the snow.
Braham trudges as fast as he can through the snow to his fallen comrade, and sees if there's anything he can do with his limited skills.
Braham tries to make it to the thugs as quickly as possible, his heavy legs pumping like great pistons through the snow.
Now that the bandits have turned openly hostile, Braham sees no reason anymore to keep hidden and tries to make his way to them as quickly as possible.
OK, makes sense, thanks!
I know you've said in the past that you want us to post strictly in initiative order, but given our extremely glacial (ban pun intended...) pace in this game, I was wondering if perhaps using post order within a subgroup could be more suited? E.g., suppose the initiative is the following: friend A
In that case, the actions of friend A and friend B would be resolved in post order, then come the foes, and then finally the actions friend C and friend D are resolved in post order. I've been in a few games in the past where this really helped to keep up the momentum. But ultimately it's your game, so I bow to your rules :-)
Braham nods, and silently points to the right. He then clumsily proceeds to move towards the bandits as silently as possible.
Just out of curiosity, how do people feel about the current pace of the game? It seems we're now down to on average roughly 1 post per week. I realise this is supposed to be slower-paced game, but personally I wouldn't mind going up to 2 to 3 posts per week, to be honest...
"No worries, we'll watch out for her!" Braham reaches out with a big, ham-fisted hand and tries to pet Suzy...
"Master Smith always says I'm very strong, but not very quiet...", Braham whispered, a tad too loud...
Braham strains to try and make out what they are arguing about...
After some careful deliberation Braham finally says "I think we should follow the boot prints. I don't think the lady has hooves..." He looked rather pleased with his formidable leap of deduction.
"Grrrr, all right you win! But you know what they say about not being lucking in a game!"
Braham closes his large hands over the dice, blows on them for luck and starts shaking them vigourously.
Seeing his low roll, his face clouds over for the shortest of whiles, but then he passes the dice over to Drogan with a good-hearted grin. "I guess you can still roll lower..."
Glancing over in Sia's direction, and seeing that she hasn't fully recovered yet, Braham says "Let's wait a bit until it stops snowing. Anyone up for a game of dice in the meanwhile?" With a broad grin, he fishes a pair of dice out of his pockets.
Seeing how Sia's face turns a faint shade a blue, Braham asks concernedly "Sia, are you alright? Should we stop and make a fire?" He clumsily rubs Sia on her back in an effort to get her warm again.
"There's nothing more we can do for him now. I say we go on and try to rescue the lady. Hopefully it's not yet too late!" Braham is still trying to work out what Sturla meant with his rabbits proverb.
Looking at the frozen corpse, Braham mutters "I don't like this one bit... This is probably just going to turn into a monster again that will attack us...". He readies his greataxe, and carefully starts to move in the direction of the frozen corpse, looking out for any signs of trouble.
Braham swipes some of the snow from his clothes, a futile gesture. "Yes, let's follow the path. I have a feeling we are getting closer to our goal..."
