I'm running a Ravenloft game here on the boards :-)I haven’t even started my new ravenloft buildRavenloft build?<Scooby Doo> Hrrr?!?</Scooby Doo>
Inquiring minds wanna know! :)
Cool! :)
I'll try to post tonight, between work and a house emergency I am very limited in time and Hamar posts are always complicated.Hope the 'House emergency' Isn't too much of an emergency!I averted a total catastrophe but even with that I might have to rip a carpet out of the basement and put down LVP flooring. Not happy about it to say the least....
----
I will have a post up for tomorrow night for sure DM! Heading to bed now, have to be up super early for a trip with my daughter's school.
#1 - UGH! Glad you averted 'Total' catastrophe. But even 'minor' damage is a PITA to get fixed/ walls or carpet replaced, etc. My Sympathies.
I still have flashbacks to our own 'minor' flooding emergency in 2016 where I had to rip out all my front room carpet, and replace it (and cover the kitchen and dining room) with fake wood flooring. AND have the entire front room redone. (Remove paneling, replace with sheetrock, etc)
#2- Trip with kid's school, Yay! (?!?) ;)
Sorry, more tired than I thought I would be, 100% will post tonight.
Even WITH the bonuses to attack and damage I don't think anything landed....
Hi folks. I’m sorry I haven’t been active. Last week was very busy. This weekend was my birthday and the universe gave me a special present- a fender bender. So, I’ve been a little scattered. I will attempt to catch up
Happy Birthday, sorry to hear about that fender bender, not the best type of birth day bender :-(
Happy (belated) Birthday!
Yeah, for sure the wrong kind of birthday bender. Sorry about that.
Hope it was nothing too bad!
No worries, we'll be here when you catch up!
Hey all. So, the long weekend was busy, and left me with a nasty cold/flu thing. I have been behind on everything, but I will try and catch up tomorrow.
Sorry to hear you are sick.
Tis' the changing seasons no doubt.
(ANd Certainly NOT the dedicated, hard-over-working & long hours that did it!) ;P
Get better.
(Quickly. Get Better Quickly) :D
Well, crap. This month is turning out as bad as last month. I’m sorry folks. It’s been a rough Spring. I’d like to say I’ll be on top of things, but I can’t promise r/n. Thursday looks to be my only day to update, and that will be very situational.
Sorry to hear that Pat.
I hope things get better. Quickly.
(I mean, odds are it HAS to get better sooner or later, right?!?) ;P
Hang in there man!
howdy folks. I am going to be working on these games during the next three days, thanks to an auspiciously-placed federal holiday. I feel bad that i haven’t had the time to get things up and running.
Don't Feel bad!
We all know how RL can kick you when you're least ready for it.
(Usually in the 'Chicken Nuggets') ;P
Just take care! We'll be here!
Congratulations to those who participated in the ‘short’ side quest! One less game to update!
Folks - I will be traveling on Thursday to Key Largo to see FAWTL alumnus Solnes get married. From there I am heading to Maine to vacation with my mother and daughter. I will check in and I can certainly do social-type posts, but anything combat-heavy will have to wait.
The good news is my time is starting to get better, so hopefully more consistent posts.
Wowsers, so all over East coast it sounds like.
Have fun! Happy travels! :)
Hey, idle curiosity question,
Anyone here any good (at least better than ME?!?) at making/designing/figuring out creating new magic items?
I have a couple of ideas that I've been kicking around for a while.
But I'm not necessarily the best at making sure I follow the rules when designing new toys. ;P
Just wondering.
Happy weekend!
SO, before I forget to tell everyone and vanish mysteriously,
Tomorrow, Thursday, I am going in again for another surgical procedure to 'fix' me after the major cancer removal almost 2 years ago now.
This will be the second attempt to 'fix' the issue.
(Here's hoping they dont mess THIS one up!) ;P
It is considered 'minor' and out-patient, but I will be in pain and out of it for a few days at least. And literally not able to sit in a chair for who-knows-how-long. (2 weeks at least)
I will respond and keep myself in the loop as much as possible, but you get a break from my novel-length posts for a while! ;)
Since I'll be out of it, Happy weekend all ! :)

Thx much!
Well your well-wishes and prayers worked! :)
THIS time it went like it was supposed to. (YAY?!?!)
Still hurts, but MUCH less than the last (failed) attempt, and I had NO anesthesia-brain-fog.
I actually need to be careful, I feel good so I must be careful and not to do more than I actually can!
Still cant sit in my desk chair for a while, so short(er) posts for a while.
You're welcome! ;P

Excellent news!
Wonderful news Rags!
I am going to try and get things back on course for the main game. AT least for the moment. One thing is my photoshop program is proving most resistant to my computer change :/. I think we might finish the polyp fight using half theater of the mind and half old map.
RL is super busy ATM, I'll post on Saturday.
Understood Pat,
I wonder if some of my/our recent PC issues have to do with the disastrous Microsoft/Crowdstrike update fiasco early this morning?
Shadow, RL is being a particularly painful pain recently. And busy.
I totally sympathize.
No worries all. I am fighting to keep these games current. My photoshop problem is a manufactured one: Adobe has stopped supporting my version and wants me to upgrade to a ‘subscription’ model. I have already had issues with Adobe over their PDF subscription method (which slowly ticks upwards over time like the cable bill). Since I paid big money for the program (albeit several years ago) I don’t really want another $15-25 subscription fee for something I make gaming maps on.

I hear ya, it's a struggle I'm going to have to grapple with soon in my game :-(

Adobe CC is garbage, with a scummy business model, and I refuse to use it. I've been running Photoshop/InDesign/Illustrator CS6 for a long time, and since it doesn't connect to the internet, I haven't had any problems with it.
If you're up for shelling out a decent chunk of money up front, you can get the disk for CS6 for $200-$300. If not, I've heard a lot of good things about GIMP, which is free. Also, if you're looking for a stopgap fix, just send me the files and I can make the edits.
Sorry need another day, just jammed up and the limited time I have tonight I have to move the games I DM forward.
Wow, Yeah I've seen bits across Youtube feeds saying how Adobe was messing themselves over with a Subscription model changeover, AND with language that lets them just take anything you've made with their program and claim it as theirs.
Yaaaahhhhh,... Nope. Bad move Adobe. Not cool.
I'm a big fan of my old on-disk version of stuff, like an old CAD program that is ON-PC only. (Forgot the name now, havent used it in so long. But I still have the disk!) ;P
OK. Posted a bit. My apologies for the delay. It’s been a season. I’m hoping things will be quieter as we go forward
LOL!
From your mouth to God's ears my friend! ;)
Hey all. Well, I finally figured out a gordian knot solution to my photoshop issue. I had enough spare parts to make a Frankenstein computer that will be my photoshop station in the corner. With that, I was able to update the main game and get moving again. I again apologize, this month has been spectacularly busy and things seem to flying at me with a crazy pace.
Here's to getting on with things!
Oh boy! A Frankenputer?!?
So, just like my first 4 or 5 pc's? ;)
Good job! YAY workarounds! :D
OMG don't get me started on this month. :(
At least the Dr says I'm healing well from this last round of surgical malarkey.
(STILL hurts like the Dickens though!) ;P
Here's hoping August is a LITTLE smoother than July.
(I mean, it's not likely, but hope springs eternal!) ;D
Moving on,... Moving on,... (I can hear the song, but not recall the words,...)

do you mean this song?
Glad things are improving over your way. I am hoping to keep up with things better going forward.

Heh,
This last scene of the battle reminded me of a Youtube video I saw,
Guy talking about a character who hates magic, who despises it with every fiber of his entire being. His hatred of magic is SO powerful, that spells simply do not affect him. ;P
Now I know what that looks like!
>_<
OK. Now that stuff is calming down just a bit, I have a proposal for the class. The Sidequest thread is done. But, I hope to have some spare time to work with another sidequest. Is there any interest in the group?

I think you should just include it in the main thread instead of being spread further thin, if it has to wait, so be it!
ALWAYS interest,
Whether or not I should? That Is another story! ;P
(RL has really taken the wind out of my sails this summer. And you KNOW it's 'bad' when the wizzie DOESN'T want to bore you with details!) :(
But I'm happy to hear the sales pitch! :D
The pitch would depend on the participants.
I'd be up for it if you are, though depending on what you had in mind, I might bring in another character as a one-off. Up to you.

Hey all,
Seems we have gotten a little slow recently
(NO problem! My brain hurts from work lately)
I hope everyone is doing alright?
SO,... I just thought I'd leave this little thought here for you to (hopefully) enjoy. :)
The NEXT time that Justin is in a position where the only reasonable solution is to cast his favorite spell,...
I will be hearing THIS when he casts it.
Or: THIS!
Or both. (Im good either way really!) ;P
And remember, There are no "I's" in "TEAM".
BUT, there are SIX "I's" in "I didn't ask how big the room was. I said I cast Fireball!"
;D
See you all soon! (I hope!)
Heh nice. Reminds me of the visual for the ultimate Paladin/Cleric spell
Still here, still up for the side quest.
Heh nice. Reminds me of the visual for the ultimate Paladin/Cleric spell
Nice!
For sure in the same category as I was thinking. :)
A PoSt! A Palpable Post!
Yep. At least as good as my Dr will allow. ;P
Well-wishes to all, and a SPOOKY end of October! :D
Life is kicking me in the ass, will try and post up soon!
Currently on my annual hunting trip, so internet access will be spotty until after this weekend. Still keeping an eye on my PbP threads, though.
Cool, HUNT them pesky wabbits! ;P
Have fun, stay safe.
See everyone soon(ish) (I hope!) :D
FYI, I got cast in a Christmas play.
"The Christmas Express"
It's a cute Christmas play.
I play "Joe Tannenbaum". I'm either Santa Claus, or an escapee from a mental asylum.
The point being,. even when I dont have work in an evening, I will probably have rehearsal.
But I'll stay as on top of everything as I can. (Give you guys a break for my longer posts) ;P
HAve a good rest of the week everyone!
Where is that play Rags, at the school or elsewhere?
