I having trouble staying into it right now. If you are really okay with it, I'm out. If you need me to play until we find a replacement I can do that.
I don't get to play at the table, so I kind of like it. Beats nothing. But I'll admit, it definitely ain't what I'm used to. I'm swamped at work...I do "homework" until the wee hours of the morning some nights, so I don't have as much opporuntity to check on it as I used to.
I'll sit here on the fence and see what Pam and Chuck have to say.

Since we have a discussion thread again and all, watcha working on? Since San Diego I've been putting in 70 & 80 hour weeks to finish this latest project, so I know what you mean about not having the time to keep up.
That may make it tougher to find someone to join our thread. Our pace is pretty pathetic but its better then no game.
How's the wife and youngin? I'd tell you how mine are, but I never see them anymore. OK, enough whining...

This Shands Cancer Center job is kicking my butt. Biggest job our company has taken on by about 4-5 times the size of the next largest. The schedule has been compressed due to other trades and since we're one of the last trades to get on the project, we're in the uneviable position of having to try to make up for all the time everyone else lost. I'm sending out emails and working on CAD drawings until all hours any more...not to mention we're remodeling the kitchen at home. And worse, it doesn't wrap up until September.
Guess there's plenty of time for sleep when we're dead. Girls are great. Kayla just started soccer again...I vowed not to coach, but so far I've had to handle three practices our of six for him. Next time you're in town, we'll drink a bottle of that whine together.
Hey, speaking as the one holding the fort down at home, I'd like my very own bottle of whine, thank you very much. All I can say is, at least ya'll have jobs, even if they suck now. I think the alternative would suck even harder...
Looks like we continue. So far I can't talk the wife into taking a character. I really don't want to see Eberk go, but that's your call.

Well the project sounds cool, even if it's overwhelming right now. We need to split a sixpack and compare notes sometime. If we ever combined our areas of expertise I bet we could make a ton of money. We'd want my boss as well - Hardware/network software guru. I'll handle applications and glue-ware.
Our project is probably going to be slammed for a couple more weeks, then get sane for a little while, then slam us again. I expect doing something like this four more times between now and the end of next year. Possibly another trip to Oslo, too. The more ass we kick now, the less we'll get ours kicked in the future. Allegedly... So we've tied ourselves to the whippin' post.
Now that we're testing so much I haven't been working from home either, which means I see the kids for about 30 mins every day. That's the toughest part of it. Pam sees too much of the kids and I see too little of them. Eh - you know the drill.
So yeah, distractions are good. More D&D/Pathfinder. And pass the pretzels.

Eberk is probably doomed - mostly because now I'm rolling for him and not Melissa.. who has far-and-away the hottest dice I've ever seen at any table. There's no way my red fireball is going to produce rolls like that for him. I may have to hunt for a spare die for him.
But I don't really need firm plans for him. All y'all are only as permanent as your smart play and good rolls anyway. Despite how bad the opposition has lost I haven't pulled alot of punches.

Haha! I have resurrected our OOC thread in order to answer a metagaming question! See, this is what these things are supposed to be used for, but ours keeps plunging to the Underdeeps because we suck.
For those who wish to know where we are in the adventure sequence...
Meta Game spoiler
I'm not necessarily sticking to script, and the adventures are usually written with some flexibility in mind anyway.
Hey, you Yak addicts. Have you taken those things down Juniper run yet? Four hours of tree limb dodging, tight-turning, alligator-spotting adventure. I was never so glad to get out a canoe in my life. Lori, Kayla and I almost flipped once...that would have been a first for us. Of the six canoes that took out at the same time as us, two flipped and one of those flipped twice. Lori and I are a little out of practice, but this place is challenging. You never have to get out of the canoe, but you spend most of the day ducking.
Never done Juniper before. Where is it?
If its just ducking under low stuff, the kayak's better. Did you guys almost flip that old Grumman? I would never have thought anyone would flip one of those boats. Those things were like aluminum war canoes.
Not the Grumman. It cost $33 to rent a canoe and to be honest that seemed worth it since it was an hour and a half ride. This place is in the Ocala National Forest. Look it up. It's rated very high on places to canoe/kayak in Florida. Check out the pics...You should definitely plan a trip...may want to put helmets on the kids. :)
