Thunderscape: The Lost Lexicon, Part 1: Heart of the Machine (Inactive)

Game Master Darkfire142

Times are tough for adventurers in Aden, and the high-paying bounties offered by the Cogswheel Irregulars in Mekanus are a great place to save up a few crests for traveling. As representatives of the Urbanan government, however, the player characters soon find themselves in the crosshairs of a group eager to retrieve forgotten secrets from the most dangerous parts of the city, and they're only the first ones to paint a target on the characters' backs!

I apologize for the delay in posting. Things have been nuts and my whole family has been sick. Did we ever set a posting rate expectation? I don't remember anything specific on that.
Shadow Lodge

Generally try and post once a day if possible but I can understand that some days you won't be able to. I will try and post a few times a day if I am not engaged with work or other affairs.

I've got a contract on my first house and that is taking a lot of my free time at the moment. Sorry for the delay; I will get caught up as soon as I can (hopefully later today if I don't get stuck at work again)

I am amazed at the amount of paperwork a home purchase generates.

GM I am going to be out of commission for a week it seems, the jackals of verizon struck again... Getting new internet connection, that is going to take at least a week unless I get real lucky... Bot me until then.

Thanks for the heads up. We'll continue the game and deal with you as the situation demands.

Bump

I suggest we move to block initiative. Standard initiative rules don't work very well in play by posts; what I do when I GM play by posts is roll initiative as a group, and then let the order in which actions are resolved be the order in which people post, and then the baddies go as a group, and then repeat.

Seems to be a lot easier to manage in a pbp environment.

I second that. It works far better in my experience.

I'm happy with whatever initiative everyone else is happiest with.

i think block works quite well

Sorry for the slow response on my end. I'm on my vacation week and thus have not had much time for PBP.
Male Goreaux Mechamage 2 (HP 14/14; AC 14*; F:2 - R:2 - W:4; Init +2; Perc +6)

checking in, hoping the vacation is going well.

Ok I'm back from my Vacation. I should put up a post tomorrow.

WHEW!

Sorry for the prolonged absence, was in the middle of buying a house and moving. I'll try to get caught up tonight and should be back to a normal posting rate.
M Humanborn

posting this in all 28 of my games (although some of them are dead, i am pretty sure... and others are quite slow so my absence will not be missed overmuch):

There are two hurricanes heading for Hawaii, where I live. One is supposed to land on Friday after being downgraded to a tropical depression, the other is supposed to land Sunday with experts unsure as to how much it'll be downgraded after colliding with the mountains.

I'm sure everything will be fine, so no need to worry. People are freaking out for some reason, but I remain in a state of relative readiness.

I anticipate a loss of internet, at a minimum (they can barely keep it together under optimal conditions). Likely loss of power as well. A time without electricity could last anywhere from four days to four months (with some time around one to two weeks being more realistic).

I'll be on between now and then, but if i just disappear, check the news, hahaha.

So, is this game still on, or is it being cancelled?

i hope it is not dead, but i do fear the worst.

Is this fully dead? If it's not coming back we should get it set to inactive.

Ungollan concurs with your assessment.

yeah it is dead, after doing a quick track of the DMs post, he/she last posted Wednesday, but has been often done infrequent posting in the past two months. Yes it is dead.
