This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Quote from: Cole;444762Good luck!
Thanks! Crossing our fingers. I've still got to pick up some coal to be able to light a fire if the power goes out again. We basically went through our reserves last week. And then it's going to be about moving all the stuff that could fly off the deck again, etc etc. I don't know if you've ever been in a situation like this before.

Quote from: Benoist;444432That is an interesting turn of events!

yeah kinda surprised too...Runch just felt a bit of kinship with the outcast and given the nature of his Charlathan beliefs though "Hey, why not give the guy a second chance!" (or someth'n like that).
Perhaps he is the first of my missfit henchmen/horde!?

Is Othos still in the mix?
:)

PS; hope you and yours weather the storm with a minimum of discomfort!
cheers!
Form the group wisely, make sure you share goals and means.
Set norms of table etiquette early on.
Encourage attentive participation and speed of play so the game will stay vibrant!
Allow that the group, milieu and system will from an organic symbiosis.
Most importantly, have fun exploring the possibilities!

Well. You can see that on the updated map his token color changed... ;)

Othos is around in the same area, by the basket/platform. Winkingbishop seems MIA at the moment, so you can go ahead and assume Othos restitutes the key, if you want to.

Thanks mate! The wind's picked up a little bit, but nothing too bad yet. Crossing my fingers. :)

We didn't have a repeat of last week, but something came up that required some attention. I'll post in the game some time tomorrow. Hope you guys are having a good week end. Cheers -BP

In the meantime, I would suggest that we get the fuck away form that dammned picture and look for a way out elsewhere.

The wounded and most of your loot is back up in the Gold Ladder at this point. Are you guys going to move back up and mend your wounds, take a rest etc at this point, or is there something else you'd like to do?

Also, preparing a plan of action for what to do or investigate next might be a good idea. :)

In other news, Drohem and winkingbishop seem to be MIA. I hope they're alright. I'm going to try and contact them.

Hi guys,

I sincerely apologize for my absence of late.  I'm torn here in discussing the why because I don't want to come across as whiny, but my family and I have had some significant difficulties of late that pretty much knocked my dick in the dirt.  I spiraled into a depressive state and pretty much withdrew from everything to insulate and consolidate.

My family is under some significant financial pressure due to medical issues and insurance issues, and this last week our furnace stopped working.  We had to stay out of the house for several days while it was repaired, and the stress of that situation, as well as its financial impact, lowered my resistance and I fell into a depressive state for the last couple of weeks.

I would like to continue the game, but I would completely understand if you didn't want me to continue the game due to my flakiness.  

Sincerely,
Drohem

Check your PM inbox.

Now, as far as the Ptolus game is concerned, it should not be a priority if you've got something going on in RL that requires your time and attention. Ever. Your duty goes first to you and yours. This here is a hobby, and I and the others I'm sure are not expecting you to put this game before your life.

As I explained from my perspective in the Treasure Hunt OOC, from there, there are two ways to think about this: either you think playing the game can help you replenish your batteries to tackle the problems you've got in RL, and playing when you can might be a good thing, or you think playing the game might divert your attention from these problems and/or be unhealthy towards getting stronger and solve this situation, in which case we would just give control of your characters to other players, or have them as NPCs for the time being, giving you all the freedom you need to confront your problems head on. Should you choose that latter option, you'll be able to come back to the game at any point, whenever you feel you can do so.

In either case, we will support your choice 100% from there.

Dude, I cannot speak for the DM or for anyone else, but you are more than welcome as far as I am concerned. If you decide to leave the game in hiatus to solve your situation, is totally understandable. But you've been a great player and it's been nothing but a pleasure to play with you. It would be very sad if you stopped playing.
