I finally have a damned place to live! Updates will continue once more with regularity now that I am not scouring the web looking for a place to live!
More updates Sunday, Paizo crashed on me tonight really threw me off and was down for a good 20 minutes (string of expletives)
Any updates? Still alive and kicking?

Storyteller Shadow Update:
Just got off the phone with him and with everything going on in his life he feels a little burnt out. He is going on vacation next week so hopefully that will help,
Thanks for the update!
Hope that feeling will fade away^^

same :3
I'm beginning to think that Shadow took the occasional-burn-out drawback in order to get the industrious trait :p
Hi Folks, sorry for the long absence had to figure out a number of things in RL.
My burn out was pretty wicked, I think it has a lot to do with finally getting my living with the ex-wife situation over with which was a significantly larger pain in the ass then I thought it would be between losing a place that was ideal to move into to having to assist her with shit I should not have had to assist with to feuding with the old Landlords over crap the ex did. Fun times.
Plus work was a real beast for a while there.
That all said, I dropped from playing a running in a number of games to salvage something.
I think the load of playing in two games and running two (maybe three) is sustainable in the next phase of my life (at least I hope it will be).
Thank you all for your patience. As I am no longer running 30 and playing in 40 games, I don't think there is a need for this thread any longer as updates in that few number of games can be easily accomplished with a cut and paste. I won't ask for this thread to close either in case anyone wants to come here to chat (or whatever :-) ).
Was sick all week and site was down today.
May update tonight but more likely tomorrow.
Tomorrow morning I will fire my games back up!
Super busy series of days there, updates tonight .
Will try and post tonight, super busy weekend, apologies for the delay.
Updates tonight, busy from Thursday night through late afternoon today:-(
Did you hijack the Zhentil Keep thread? I got all excited when I saw a new post from you, but apparently, it's for something else :( /cry.

Yes, I am using it to play remotely with the table top group. As you know, I was running that one with two separate groups on PbP and Table Top when my life went sideways :-)
How are you doing MG?

Yes I live but my posting rate is Waaay down from where it used to be.
The Vampires one I miss as well. Ah well, maybe again one day...
They aren't the only ones. I still watch this thread even though I've been out of your games for a while now.
I am actually Recruiting for a new game over in the Recruitment thread if you want to throw your hat in the ring :-)
Had to let Way of the Wicked go, too many lost PCs just slowed the game down too much and changed the fundamental chemistry of the group even though the last PC I brought in was great, sometimes, a game just dies :-(

Just going to open a solo law practice with a few specialties, contract drafting, divorce mediation, and estates and trust matters. I might dip into companies looking to get started in legalized pot but I would not go out of my way to try and bring in such business as there are only so many hours in the day and I am not quitting my day job :-)
All these years later and I just ran across this post.
The solo practice is going gangbusters, I presume a single person or no one will read this but it's interesting (to me) to see what I had planned back then has come to such fruition now, several years later.
I suppose the success makes all that gaming I had to give up worth it...
Glad to hear things have been going well for you!

Hey, Almonihah, how are things going for you?
Going pretty well! In some pretty enjoyable games on here at the moment. :)
I noticed. Glad to see you're doing well. If you need an assistant with zero legal knowledge but some bookkeeping experience, let me know. :) I'll be the absolute worst assistant you could hope to hire. :DJust going to open a solo law practice with a few specialties, contract drafting, divorce mediation, and estates and trust matters.

Hah! Glad to see you are still around as well. No, very little bookkeeping necessary, low expenses thank goodness! But thank you!

Reviving this thread so I don't have to post the same thing in four separate threads.

FYI, I may not update again until Sunday evening due to work. If I post sooner, then I finished whatever work back log I had.
Make that Monday, I have to work tonight.
Last night became tonight, just about aught up!
Any free spots in a game?

Not at the moment, I'll PM you if something frees up.
Fell asleep last night will just try and post periodically during the day as time allows.. :(

Thanks! I need to make sure to check PMs then^^
Or do you have a discord?Didn't do PF1 or PBP in some time now, only had time to run my PF2 VTT campaigns, but i miss PF1 somehow and Eberron and especially Dark Sun.

No Discord for me, I despise it.

Look!
A DOT! A Palpable DOT! :)
Discord is a learning curve. But I 'had' to learn it.
Cuz Microsoft killed Skype, so my old college pals and I had to move to another platform.
(And I certainly am NOT going to use a new, untested Microsoft program when there are SO many others out there that are at least stable.) ;P
Strangely, I just can't warm up to Discord.

My first impressions (Andmy second, and third impressions) were,
"This seems overly complicated"At least compared to Skype. ;P
My son seems to like Discord. Just depends on what your used to I guess.
It’s a platform, like any other. It takes getting used to, but it has its charms. Having voice, video, and text channels is nice
Not everything is for everyone and that is fine.
That said, it's more comparable to Teamspeak, but you do have:
-Individual Calls and chats
-Servers for groups where you can have different voice channels (with video) and different text channels.
I find that quite awesome.
I think for me it's just the learning curve.
Rags is a cranky old wizard. And while I am tech-savvy,...
(I am a theater-tech/actor/etc. So I'm a 'Tech-Wizard') ;P
,... I am old enough to admit I can sometimes be stuck in my ways.
I'm good at running equipment I know. But learning the newest model/newest updates/different brand/etc is always a pain in my keister. :(
I'm sure once I get to play with Discord enough, I'll be somewhere between fine-to-happy with it.

Haha yes i know what you mean, getting old enough to feel that as well.
But since my job is deeper in tech, it's my daily stuff.A world of it's own with a crazy pace and level of organization.
Sometimes difficult to remember, some people are far away from that.
Certain things can be difficult, but old tech has its down sides as well. This site has many crufty proprietary features I'd love to update. Especially the downloads. It's not the only one. Most RPG game sites are terrible when it comes to accessing PDFs you've bought.

Oh yes, totally agree there!
I think by now there are way better modern solutions which would also help the shop/forum issue.But IT is expensive and entrepreneurs want to save their money as much as possible. Everyone wants to be able to rent Venice for their wedding^^
Updates tonight, I passed out early two nights in a row.
