Sorry for the lack of updates, but rest assured neither the game nor the thread is dead. Unfortunately between some player problems, school, work and other things I've haven't had time and motivation recently to update. The good news is that Monday is the last day of school. On top of that my work schedule is easing up thanks to a new hire and a co-worker finally coming off sick leave. So within the next week or two I intend to bring this up to date and keep it that way.
About the player situation. The bad news is that Droodad had to bow out for the time being due to personal reasons. Silent Man unfortunately wrecked his car thanks to his brakes failing. Silent Man's brother wasn't interested in the game and so has dropped. Wiz is getting married this summer and moving out to the midwest and has been skipping games to go out and visit frequently (can't blame him). So for a while I was down to only Kitty (who has to arrive late due to work), Tin Man and Blingy.
Now the good news. Silent Man was finally able to get his personal belongings out of his car last week and has rejoined the group as of last weekend. Droodad and I will be trying to find time for her to do one on one stuff while she is unable to attend the game. She is one of the best players I've ever had (and a very good friend), so I'm not letting her go easily.
While Wiz may be leaving us I expect 3 news players to join. This weekend two friends of Blingy who are new to gaming will be joining. Their schedule may be a little unreliable for a month or so, but after that it should be fine. They are new to the game and don't have much experience, but I think they have potential.
Also Blingy's real life girlfriend will be moving out here this summer. After hearing Blingy talk about it she has become very interested. In a visit week before last she brough a character that she had made by having him read the books to her over the phone. The character was a pretty good one and she is seriously getting into the game, so I'm looking forward to her joining.
It has been a rough couple of months for the game, but things are back on track and looking up.
