First things first - big congrats on your new job Samy! ;) Then I'll be honest and say I am sad this game has seen so many hiatuses - it is/was one of my preferred ones (great players and GM honestly), and we'll probably won't get a chance to continue. Guess it has been good while it lasted ;) If it ever receives a Breath of Life again, Polux will be here.
A grand time indeed Aleris - excellent vacations ;)
Sounds perfect - I will be returning from my vacations by the end of the month also ;) As for moving.... Well, you know my thoughts about this one... Take your time - comics and RPG books have been the single worse thing to pack and transport (they weigh a TON) during these past four years and... I guess it is 5 moves by now... Good luck, and keep calm!
Good to know Aleris! Was it only about Pathfinder (pardon my ignorance :D)? I believe we are waiting on Samy, but he said this month would be irregular so...
Same to you Aleris :D
Guys, dropping a line to let you know I will be going on vacations from the 20th until the 30th June. Will have access to internet, and will probably be able to post here and there during those 10 days, but in between family, SUN, beach, swimming pool and summer beverages, the posts will have to wait a tad ;)
Thanks for the heads up Samy.
"Deal" - Polux nods at the others, uncorking the flask he carries in the central spot of his bandolier with a smile and a wink at his companions. He then consumes the silvery greenish liquid without hesitation - the change is subtle, but clearly evident to those who know Polux - his semblance becoming definitely more feral, while his muscles bulge significantly - "Let's get this started then" - he adds, in a cavernous voice.
Polux returns to the others to inform them in hushed tones what he has uncovered.
Polux nods to Turel, and wades into the room, sweeping the area in a clockwork motion as carefully as he can, and pausing to listen at the door.
Samy, may I ask why Facebook?
Polux inches along to listen at both doors, the one to his right, and if nothing, at the one to his left.
Hi guys, In case any of you are interested, my Reign of Winter group is recruiting one player - I think we are about to finish Book3 (not sure because I never played it before) so far ahead in the game (good chance to play mid-high level characters). In any case, recruitment details are HERE - go check it out if you can ;) Cheers.
Polux one-two steps and nimbly jumps from up top to scout the area.
Polux cracks the door open to peer beyond, as Turel approaches.
Polux returns to the door (to F2) and listens, then checks it for traps, and confirms if it may be locked or not.
"Ok then" - Polux nods, and begins untying the men.
Polux waits for a few moments, then decides to stay on guard close by the door to F2, just in case.
Most likely PbP - I'm not sure I can spare the 3-4 needed hours straight to play a scenario on Roll20 or Fantasy Grounds... Also, Fantasy Grounds means additional costs, right?
No need for apologies :D I've been debating whether to get back to it or not, but mainly online. I've got basically all scenarios up to and including about half of season 6, but was pondering if I should start with something more recent (like season 8 or 9) - still $5 per pdf feels kinda steep I think. Will mull it over some more.
I was once a VL, a loooong time ago - just needed that quick reminder (I do have a copy of the Roleplaying Guild Guide) :D Thanks for the info Kito.
Guys one question out of curiosity - anyone can GM a PFS scenario for credit? As long as they buy the scenario?
Polux is still holding the morningstar, and waits for the group's decision - "If it was up to me, I would leave them tied up and gagged for now"
How was it? :D
"Very well" - Polux draws his morningstar and removes the gag from the one they ascertain to maybe be the more cooperative - "Start talking"
Polux immediately moves in to remove valuables and weapons from the unconscious ones, then tying and gagging them up. After he is finished he pulls them out of sight - "Done" - he nods - "They are ready for questions"
Polux has to control himself just to keep from bursting into laughter.
After avoiding the watchmen, Polux focuses his attention on the boarded door for a second.
With a smile, he returns to the others with the information - "First thing we need is decide what to do about those on watch" - he whispers.
I am in Europe, and I think the last option referred by Samy might be doable - being online and forum posting at about the same time.
Polux nods at Kito - "If they are being infiltrated and overtaken, you are probably correct. May be worth a shot convincing them to leave" He then stares at the structure for a moment, and motions to move inside - "Wait here a few moments - I am going to scout the area"
"I guess we should at least investigate" - Polux agrees with the others.
Polux waits for the creature to settle down somewhat, watching the surroundings as the others mill about.
Sorry guys, this week is going to be murder for me... Moving for the Nth time in two years is really taking its toll on me.. If all goes well, I should have internet right from the get go, so from next Monday onwards it should be smooth sailing only. But until then, it won't be easy to get online. My apologies to you all.
"I don't care if they're here by Pharasma's will, if they attack one of us I'm putting an arrow in one of them," she warns. "Try and see if you can get her out of the way; I've got you covered!" As Harmose moves close, Polux follows, spear at the ready, and nodding in agreement with Aleris.
Enjoy Harmose ;)
Polux went through the whole proceedings in silence - after the cremation is finished, he walks close to Sehhosep - "Now he will be in peace, and you will find yours also" - are his only words. "I think so," Aleris nods. "Her family's probably got plenty of guards so they should be fine but we still need to go by and make sure." "Very well then" - he agrees with Turel and Aleris, scanning the surrounding area from the doorstep.
Des, on that you got me beat - apart from a few moments of respite, in Portugal the weather is always hot.. Samy, it actually doesn't snow THAT much usually in Denmark - say maybe 3 months a year on and off... Rest of the year you are pretty much free to cycle at will :D In Portugal the weather is way more forgiving, BUT cities are completely unprepared for it, with only a really small portion of the capital city having cycle ways. Also most cities have a lot of ups and downs, which makes everything way more difficult. In Denmark I will live about 20 minutes from the city center (by train), and the area is perfect for cycling, with not only cycle ways in the road, but also rough forest trails. In Portugal, if you want to live close by the main city, you will be drowned in overpopulated urban areas where the quality of life sucks - that and the lack of appropriate infrastructures mean you can forget about cycling, and also your commute will eat up a good portion of your life so... Unless you can find a decent job also outside of the city, which will not happen :P Have you tried intense exercise, the kind that wears you out completely? Has always been a good thing for me if my head is too filled with stuff threatening to bring me down.
Where are you moving to now, Polux? Tell me that you are going somewhere sunny and wonderful. I keep gazing out the windows at the dreary - not yet Spring - weather we are having here in Minnesota. Curiously enough, sunny is where I've lived most of my life - Portugal. Surely enough, it has miles and miles of beautiful beaches, great and inexpensive food and wine, but that's it. It is a good place to spend your vacations, mainly if you are not Portuguese, because we have perhaps the worst wages in Europe (while working perhaps the longest hours - insane and absurd). So yeah... Good place for vacations, bad place to raise your family, spend time with them, or thinking about fulfilling professional or personal aspirations. As you can probably notice, I am very disappointed with it all, and not because any one thing in particular, but because of the whole. Want more for me and my kids. I am moving to Denmark - it is not sunny but I've lived there for about 2 years with my family and it was wonderful. We spent more time together than ever, we were better off financially than ever, we traveled more, we LIVED more, and as funny as it may seem, we felt at home there. Back then we left because a health scare in the family sent us reeling, and we just ran away. But we shouldn't have - I have regretted it ever since. The chance came up again, so we are going for Round 2. And guess what, we'll still spend a good part of our vacations back in Portugal. Yep, it's a GREAT place for vacations :D (Apologies for the long rant :P)
Fully agree with Hmm and Aleris, and I am going to insist that exercise contributes to well being in ways we don't even imagine, with all the metabolic processes it fires up in our body. That is one thing I am going to enjoy about moving - getting to live again in a place where I can cycle my ass off every other day.
That was exactly the same thing for my group Aleris: 3.5 to 4e, and the tactical nature of the new edition almost drew us in, but there was just too much similarities between classes so we dropped it. Then there was a HUGE hiatus, and we stumbled upon Pathnfinder. As far as hardcopy goes, I have a couple of Rulebooks, and had actually made the decision a few months ago to fill up my collection starting with the classics... I grabbed Rise of the Runelords Anniversary edition, then Curse of the Crimson Throne, and Second Darkness (paperbacks were being sold a $5 dollars each on the Paizo site. Didn't even blink) before they go out of print. Was planning on continuing but now I don't know if I should. ------------------- Qari I don't know.... I was a BIG fan of AD&D Second Edition. And maybe even more of 3.5 (played Planescape for AGES). But I don't think I could return to first edition - as in 'Elf is a class'? :D
I just feel I have still a LOT of adventures and APs I would like to play or GM from the 1st edition.
Congrats Deseri! I know how hard that process can be... Will be moving again myself in about a month. For the 5th time in 2-3 years...
Thank you for the kind words Aleris :D What happened to the game btw, are we on hold or something?
I'll wait cautiously. For me Pathfinder has been a very (kinda) recent discovery - just last month I picked up Rise of the Runelords Anniversary Edition :P What good things are we looking forward in the second edition?
