I'm BaaaacK! :)
("Fear me. If you dare!") ;P
Wowsers. Got some catching up to do!
Um, Tomorrow. It's late. And I am dead tired.
(I like to travel, but I HATE long drives! Very disrupting combo.) ;P
I'm BaaaacK! :)

Hey all,
I'm taking another lil' trip. To see my family in Oklahoma. So I'll be out next week for the 4th of july.
I will try to keep up, but I expect posting opportunities to be few.
Please forgive my absence, and 'bot my toon(s) as needed.
See you all when I get back!
Pre-emptive 4th of July! :)

That was fun!
A cool puzzle-challenge.
One bad dice roll, (barring timely intervention of an aid another or similar) and it would have been golem throw down time!
I mean, those are fun too! ;)
(Well, not so much for casters. Golems are notoriously spell-resistant!) ;P
Can always count on you to provide an interesting and fun challenge!
:D

We've also been getting slammed at work the past couple weeks, and the massive amounts of rain haven't been helping the excavations go any quicker.
I do apologize for being slow to post--I check the thread every day, but on top of my being exhausted, my character a) doesn't talk much to begin with, and b) is going through a rage-induced mental breakdown. I will try to do better with keeping the action moving, though. Yeah, there has been mucho rain-o down south here lately as well. We finally get a couple of days to dry out, and JUST when I'm about to mow my yard,...
"BOOM! KRACK! Thunder and lightning, very very frightening!"
Sigh, Ima gonna have to hire someone with a riding lawnmower to mow this jungle I have growing here. :(
ALessia is doing great at being,... Alessia. :)
I mean, she is literally keeping us moving forward right now. ;)
Patrick Curtin wrote: Heh. At least you get to retire From your mouth to God's ears!
I just have to survive that long.
(They are NOT making it easy on me!)
Of course, my retirement would be 'ok', if I could ever get a raise, so that I have a decent amount to retire with 50% of! ;P
Sweeet! :D
(Good job catching up at work! I can barely stay CURRENT with my work. 'Catching up' once behind is as much a dream as me getting a raise before I retire!) ;P
I think for me it's just the learning curve.
Rags is a cranky old wizard. And while I am tech-savvy,...
(I am a theater-tech/actor/etc. So I'm a 'Tech-Wizard') ;P
,... I am old enough to admit I can sometimes be stuck in my ways.
I'm good at running equipment I know. But learning the newest model/newest updates/different brand/etc is always a pain in my keister. :(
I'm sure once I get to play with Discord enough, I'll be somewhere between fine-to-happy with it.

Welcome back to WORK?!?,... Booooooo! ;P
Let me guess, now you need a vacation, from your vacation? :)

At least compared to Skype. ;P
My son seems to like Discord. Just depends on what your used to I guess.

Look!
A DOT! A Palpable DOT! :)
Discord is a learning curve. But I 'had' to learn it.
Cuz Microsoft killed Skype, so my old college pals and I had to move to another platform.
(And I certainly am NOT going to use a new, untested Microsoft program when there are SO many others out there that are at least stable.) ;P
Sweet!
At least it was a GOOD reason!
(Vacation is good in my opinion!) ;P
Hope you had a great time!

You may cheer now.
(Or cry. Whichever works for you.) ;P
Catching up!
Thank you for the INFO link/post/tab. I'll explore more thoroughly asap.
DEFINITELY agree with the clearing of first floor, first!
I think we got really good, and really lucky, with the wight the first time. I'd rather not rely on luck more than needed.
(Especially mine. MY dice don't normally like me all that much!) ;)

Hi All,
Just a note, I'm working a LONG Sat tomorrow, and I leave for almost the whole week Sunday morning.
My wife and I just had our 29th wedding anniversary, and next week is actually a slow/dead week for me, so we're headed BACK to Florida.
We'll go to Universal (MAYBE a day at Disney? We did honeymoon there long ago!) and spend too much money eating out and shopping between riding a few rides.
I'll have my laptop, but I DON'T plan on being in the hotel room long enough to fire it up unless work calls me for an emergency.
(A MAJOR emergency!) ;P
Sorry for last minute notice, PLease bot as needed, and I'll catch up when I get back next weekend!
Thank you!
Have a good week all,

Have a good week all,
never rains, but it always pours. ;P
Nice! I'm not THAT athletic.
Even when I was (pretending) to be athletic. ;P
COngrats!
Still going to be a long week for me,
(Long week, long days, just,... long)
;P
Should still be able to keep up. Just late(r) at night(s). ;)
Carry on!

GM Dark Shadows wrote: FYI taking the weekend off from posting due to the Holiday and the need to prep for my returning table top game as well as get a new PbP game up and running.
I think the PCs are close to completing all research just waiting for a few of you to post up Aid Another rolls, direct Knowledge rolls or for Zy to specifically apply her Karmic Blessing spell strategically. Hopefully, that's all done by Tuesday and I can adjudicate.
Cool,
I'm busy at work through ALL of next week (with the possible exception of Monday, where I'll be busy catching up on my yard and some wife-time) ;)
But I should be able to touch base at least once every 1-2 days! :)
FYI- I made my roll with all bonuses I can account for, so no +3 from Zy yet,. or any aid anothers.
BUT I DO have 2 Hero Points, and if I need to, I am happy to spend one.
(I would like to keep one in reserve, seeing as how nasty some of the monsters are if your low lvl) ;)
Forgot to mention, Gonna be very busy next week+ or so.
Mostly Orientations and dance shows. THIS week. :P
SO if I vanish, sorry, I'll be back! :D
Hopefully I'll have enough late-night free time to keep up and get a post in!
Hey!
I forgot to mention, being busy at work for a while.
Long days at work, and no access to PC/web sites when I am doing stage stuff. (Orientations and dance shows for the next almost 2 weeks)
Just FYI- If I vanish, bot me as needed. ;P
Hopefully I'll have enough free bits of time in between to get a few posts in.
Thank you!

But it might not be a bad idea for Bastion for example. Not the orc, weird human, weird priest(but might help), tiefling or kobold...BASTION FTW
ROFL!
Hey, waitaminute,... 'Weird Priest'?!? O_o
Meh. You're not wrong. ;)
Agreed.
I love a good RP moment, (or 3!) ;P but we are making cool progress on the main storyline, I wanna see where this goes!
Beating up undead bad guys is cool.
But defeating undead with a backstory??
That's very cool!
Cool, Thx for making this partion as interesting as it can possibly be.
(Especially for a PbP game) :)
Most of my PC's would be VERY excited about the research. (I play mostly wizzies, and sorcerers) ;P
Sterling looks at it as a chore. Albeit A necessary one, and useful. He does not begrudge it. But he would would much rather be slaying undead at this point.
However, in his short but exciting career, he has learned the value of preparation. Especially when facing unknown undead and haunts.
But Another day of Research?
I pity the first few undead he runs across in the prison. ;P
Hey Kevin!
Glad to see you!
I won't lie, Merle was being unusually quiet for a bit. I thought we lost you.
(I mean, it has been way too long since she made a snarky 'Sorc > Wiz' comment, and got smacked by Seph) :)
Patrick Curtin wrote: I’m going to do one mulligan. Just because I’d like to give you folks concrete directions rather than have you spend the summer searching around for the way out. Yeah, sorry.
Just because my PC is a certified genius level intellect, doesn't mean his player is. :(
(I think I've proven THAT more than once!)
;P
OR, as we say in Theater, Whenever something is announced;
"Thank you Mulligan!" :D
Ditto!
I spoend way too much time (And money) in new/used bookstores, and not enough time in the library.
But I will add these to my "Books to Read (Eventually)" List. ;)
Walk.
OR run. Depending on what the spinning eyeball/sun-o-doom does next ;P
I'm already a little bit lost. ;P
(So what else is new?) :)
I just made ONE search using max bonus. CLose but no kewpie doll.

I have a couple of Glen Cook novels on my shelf, (might have read more?)
He is a type of author that I like. Fantasy + Action + fun/humor.
His "Garrett Investigates" novels (I have a hardback of the first 2-3) were pretty good.
Oh yeah, I have a long day (night) at work tomorrow too.
I may be able to post, but if i do it'll be LATE at night.
As long as 'they' (whoever THEY are!?!) keep IT (little computer pun there,) on a leash, I'm OK with it.
It's the whole "Were gonna let it AI run this one thing instead of people" part when I go:
"Waitaminute! We have FRANCHISES about this kind of thing!"
;P

What i do, is tough to duplicate so easily. Good! That's called "Job Security"! ;)
Hmmm,... Just a thought,...
Technology is great and all, but just because we CAN do something, doesn't mean that we SHOULD.
I'm VERY,... thoughtful,... about all of this sudden surge in AI use.
I mean, don't we literally have DOZENS of movies alone, not to mention hundreds of BOOKS, that explain exactly WHY this is a BAD IDEA?!?!?!
O_o
Just sayin',...

Karrin has read a few romance novels growing up and has opined the want for a boy friend with "Strong gripping hands" as mentioned in said books. LOL,
Yeah, I am NOT tall, dark, OR handsome.
(In my opinion. My wife's opinion may vary) ;P
Either way, definitely not chiseled! :(

I would be interested in the game depending on the general vibe of the group. I do not tend to get really into evil campaigns. I respect that.
My OTHER friend Pat (hereafter referred to as 'Tiny') Likes the Vampire/masquerade rules. All of them. (Mummy, Werewolf, etc)
But as a general rule, he wont allow any Vampire characters.
Due to their being inherently evil by their nature, just to survive.
(He may have allowed exceptions? Not sure) ;P
In HIS world, the Vampire books are all canon and exist, but they are his bad guys. The one thing that ALL the other groups agree on is that Vampires are bad, and they all put aside their differences (some more willingly than others) ;P in order to fight Vamps.

He's,... not wrong. Makes a valid point. ;)
'THAT' is even a part of the Original Xbox Conan video game.
(One of them, anyway. I have a couple of them.)

;P
(Or is the barbarian doing his OWN experiment? Seeing how durable the wimpy caster is under assault by ANY of the women on the crew?!?!?!)
Well, that sounds like a full and fulfilling evening! ;)
Tomorrow it is!
