Hey Kimberly. I, too, feel your pain. My 2nd daughter will be starting college this September. Both my girls will be having some debt but like Tolvan said, this I the new normal for these college kids.
I know as parents we try to do as much as possible so our kids have more opportunities than we ever did. If there is a will then there is a way. I put myself though community college and took advantage of any opportunity I could get. I think working for a goal builds character. Also, work ethic and hustle are good qualities when our kids get their foot in that door.
So keep it positive and continue in pushing your kid.
Glad you are back.
This is unfortunate timing with the revival of the forums, but I am heading into the woods for the weekend to go float down a river. I won't be back until Sun PM, so expect regular posting from me to resume again on Monday.
Well, with the forums back up for 24 hours straight (as far as I can tell), I'm anxious to check and see if we're all still here. Roll call?
Everyone here?
Ananias, thanks for showing up!
Of course, that didn't last long.
Well, the forums are currently up, but I'm not feeling so confident anymore. Anyway, Rannik? You still here? I'm keen to keep going if you are!
First time in a while that I am able to get on the forum. I will try to post soon. Hopefully, the site won't crash again.
Hi guys. I went on vacation and tried to read and post but forums were down. I'm glad I was not the only one having this issue. I also noticed that the Gameplay tab is not working correctly. Somehow the bottom banner is blocking out most of the posting screen. is anyone else having this issue?
Site's been stable for a few weeks now. Looking to get back into it! Anyone else still around?
I am here!
I'm here but I'm having issues from posting from work. The paizo banner is covering my text screen. I just got my laptop back from repairing a cracked screen. Will try to post from my personal computer.
For now, Danica will not do any casting in front of the peeps. She will use her Discern Lies class skill which acts likes the spell.
Hi all. First, sorry for not posting for a while. I took an 11 day trip and because this game was not updating I somehow missed posting here that I was gonna be gone. And the sight is not updating for me. I will re-dot. That should fix that issue.
I am not gone and will start posting again as soon as I can get caught up.
Yay! Tolvan's back!
:D
Welcome back. I will try to make a quick post in the morning. If you want to take an action before the "all hell breaks loose", just separate your post in two to make sure I don't miss anything.
In just a couple of hours, I'm heading out of town for my cousin's wedding. I'll be mostly out of touch until Sunday PM. When I'm able to get on, I'll have more of an opportunity to read and less to post due to the type of device I'll have with me, so feel free to bot me if I'm causing a delay.
Rannik ?
This is a heads-up that I'm going to be traveling tomorrow through Monday (26-29 Oct) and will likely not be able to post while I'm away. Please bot me if I'm holding anything up.
I'm here, incase anyone cares. ;-P
Here as well. :)
Me too
We're approaching Thanksgiving here in America, so this is an early heads-up that I won't be available starting Wed afternoon through Sunday evening. I won't have access to either my home or work computers, so I don't expect to be able to post at all during my absence. Please bot me as needed!
I am traveling as well but have my trusty laptop this time. Still family will keep me pretty busy.
This game hasn't seen a new post since 23 Nov (almost 2 weeks), and Rannik hasn't posted since 20 Nov.
Is everything okay?
Rannik has been absent in another game he is running that I am in. I think its just a busy time. I would like to see more consistent posting for this game. A game needs momentum to carry on and we have lost that.
I completely agree
Well, I'm still here. Been periodically checking a couple times a week. Hoping we can get some movement here.
Sorry about, a series of unfortunate event happened and kinda screw me up. I about a few weeks of time, I managed to injure my shoulder and catch a strong cold. Now that in itself wouldn't be too bad if the MEDs that allow me to move and not cough up my lungs didn't interfere with my other MEDs that allows me to function socially. Long story short, I spend most of my time looking at the screen of my computer trying to write something up, get anxious about not being able to do it and then feel guilty about it...
Cross-posting in all of my games; apologies if you see this more than once.
Tomorrow, I head out for a weeklong vacation to where there are beaches, sunshine, and tropical beverages. I intend to be taking utmost advantage of all of the above (especially the latter). As such, I may have difficulty posting while I'm away; please bot me if necessary.
That said, the resort does have free WiFi, and I just got a new keyboard for my iPad that should allow me to post better on vacation than I ever have been able to before. I will be trying to keep up with all of my games as much as possible.
I expect, though, that my posts will necessarily be brief, even to the point of simply making my rolls without much roleplay. If I am silent in social situations, or not posting my combats, please err on the side of botting me early, rather than waiting; it will likely be better for us all that way.
Thanks!
I just wanted to make this quick post to let you all know that I'm back! As you may have noticed, my goal to post during vacation was a complete failure, so I have a lot to get to; it could easily take me all day to catch up on all of my games.
I'm cross-posting this note to all of my games early. Please feel free to continue to bot me until I post in Gameplay, if there's an urgent need; otherwise, I'll post before the end of the day if my character is up. Thanks!
Happy to be rolling again! :)
Is it safe to say that we've lost Kimberly? Her last post in Gameplay was Nov 15.
Edward Sobel (her player) appears still active on the boards. I'll shoot her a pm. Maybe she's not getting notices.
I have PMed Ed in the past and gotten him to start posting again. I can PM him also but I think he will need more frequent posting to reliably come back. This is something I would like too. As is I have to review my character and the last 50’or so posts almost every time I post to review what is going on. I am not the only one as I just had to remind folks of the active Haste in this fight.
I’d love to get back to something closer to daily posting. At one time this was my favorite game and i’d like it to be again.
Totally agree. I'm glad it's still going on, but I'd be happy if it could pick back up to its old intensity.
I agree with both of your posts. I am also guilty of slacking on my part as well.
I agree. Momentum in games is very real. Barring special circumstances, I am in these forums on a daily basis during the week. As long as the action is caught up to my turn, I can reliably post daily on weekdays, and would be happy to maintain that pace.
By the way, I did hear back from Kimberly's player. He's really swamped at work, pulling 60 to 70 hour weeks. If anyone is in the welding, electrician or HVAC trade, there might be a job for you, apparently.
I'd like to keep the spot open for Kimberly and keep going. Maybe she's going through a silent teenage phase.
Actually, it turns out that he can't use an amulet of natural armor; it looks like I purchased an amulet of mighty fists +1 when I created Ananias, but somehow never recorded that on his character sheet here. That's a much better option for Ananais, so @GM, unless you have an issue with that, I'll keep the mighty fists instead of natural armor. I will update his profile presently.

I concur. No one could play Kimberly like Ed. That said we sorta need someone to play her in Ed's absence as she is our healer.
I was just reviewing and noticed that a Vicar Voltiaro was mentioned by the couple, but not seeing a Voltiaro in the above list?
Vicar Caleb Voltiaro and Vicar Everard Viltiaro
I went back and reread everything since coming to town. The pace is slow but the story is cool. We do have a ring of swimming by the way. I am still not clear on why the family gave up their daughter and what that expectation was. Are they waiting on the daughter's return? Also it seems we did not check the headless bodies yet. Not pleasant but they need to be searched.
Hey all, I got hit hard by a bug on Wed PM, and I'm not quite recovered yet. Thanks for any botting you've done. I'm going to share this message in all of my games first, and will then circle back to posting in-game. That may not happen quickly, however, so please keep botting me until I post again in Gameplay. Thanks!
Power outage at home and less then 30% batterie on the cell phone. Will post as soon as I have power again.
The theory behind Knowledge (local), at least as it's been described in discussion on these and other boards, is that it represents your ability to get knowledge about a local place, not necessarily how much you already know about it. That's why it's so commonly used in the same way that Diplomacy is used to gather information.
It certainly makes sense, though, that if you're in a small town that doesn't like strangers, there would be a circumstance penalty on the check representing their natural tight-lipped nature.
And in that lies my problem with the skill. All the other knowledges at least feel like they can be learned in a book, but the knowledge local one feel more like one you learn from experience rather than books.
To make matters worse, the face of the party isn't posting anymore, which doesn't help in this situation. Anyone got news from Kimberly?
I know Anna has been in touch but am not sure how long back. I recommend a PM and depending on response, or lack there of, we recruit.
Had a rough few days, might not post on Monday depending of how I feel. I'll keep you informed.
Hi team, I'm going to bow out of this game. I just haven't found Ananias' voice yet; when it's time for me to post, I too-frequently find myself struggling for what to do or say. It doesn't seem fair to the game to occupy a spot at the table if I don't have the commitment to do my best with it.
Best wishes to you all as you move forward.
Sorry to see you go. :(
On a side note. My town was hit by an ice storm andd I only got power last night. Lost alot of food but everything else is ok. If everyone post often, I will be able to resume daily posting.
