Sorry, guys. :negative:

So here's the deal; I am spending about 3 hours a day commuting now thanks to my car breaking down; I have to take the bus. My seven-way-party-split is a lot of work and I haven't been able to motivate myself! I will try to have some updates done shortly for everyone else, possibly tonight. Thanks for being patient with me!

Hey, if you guys need some reading material to pass the time, the playtest for my latest game prototype is off and running.
Feel free to comment in the thread, we're being all fast and loose like that.

This might be obvious, but I have a hunch that the best move might be for Plowforged to shift-charge the pylon in N15 and have William move to attack the pylon in J15

I swear to god I didn't just end this combat because I'm lazy, I have a lore reason for this that I couldn't overlook. :shrug: I've got something else lined up already and I'll let your bonuses from rages carry over assuming you have any running

I posted Jericho checking out the mirror a while ago. Was he able to find anything out?

Between long hours at work, adjusting to a new schedule, family drama, and a whole host of problems I haven't had any time or motivation to post anything to any of my games in a few weeks now. I don't see the situation improving in the foreseeable future, either. Rather than drag things out until everyone gets sick of it and declares me AWOL, I'm just going to bow out. I'm really sorry if waiting on me killed any of the momentum, but I thought it better to just own up and say I can't keep playing rather than just drop off the face of the earth. Thanks for having me, it was a pleasure and I'd enjoy the chance to play alongside you all again if the fates allow.

I'm going to be away from the internet for the next week or so due to a very sudden death in the family. If you'd like to move Jericho along, feel free to NPC him in the meantime.

Oh, wow, I'm so sorry! Take all the time you need, Jericho will be here waiting for you when you get back. I don't think it will be necessary, but if I have to NPC you I'll make sure to not make any big decisions for you or do anything out of character. Thanks for letting us know!

Uh, yeah, about that...

So basically my life has become a terrible country song. My (temp) job is on hold, and I just found out that the reason my car won't start is because it needs a $3000 repair. And the tax refund I was counting on got cut in half because Reasons. All this while trying to save up to move to a state with a functioning job market.

I'd say "gently caress my life" but it's already doing a great job of loving me. :negative:

So that's why I haven't been posting, and why I need to drop for now. I really, really would like to come back when/if things become less poo poo, and I'll be reading, but I really don't have a brain for writing right now and that won't change for at least a couple of months. Sorry guys. :(

Hey Izzy it's totally cool! I'm glad to have had you in the group and I'm sorry you're having so many problems. I've been there before and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. I totally understand if you need to drop, I would be happy to have you back. Jericho will remain active in the plot as a background character so if you want to pick him back up later on it will be an option.

Going to knuckle down and get the game back on track tonight. I'm a week entrenched in my new, more fulfilling job and I have the next two days off, so I'm going to get some updates out.

Plowforged and Keaira should expect combat updates. I am also bringing a new player into the game, and will be doing their intro tomorrow. OzCavalier, I recommend compiling your combat block ahead of the intro post.

It turns out I was really tired this weekend, sorry for flaking out again guys. :( I'm working on something, probably have it up tomorrow or the day after. We'll get this weird middle period out of the way and the whole plot back on track - with a single group - very soon.

Guys, I really hosed up.

I've been coming to this conclusion for a long time but honestly, I seriously poo poo the bed with this all-way party split idea and I can't cope with the workload. It was overwhelming when I was depressed and now I have the will to do it but not really the time.

I'd like to skip through the rest of the solo arcs and go back to the combined party. The huge split was a loving terrible idea and even though it had some cool story moments I was stupid to think I could ever pull it off. If anyone wants to drop, or the majority want to can the game at this point, I understand completely, but I think I can fix the pacing of the game if I can cut down my update time to something more manageable. Please give me another chance, guys.

I'm not dead or horribly maimed, so I guess it was a win for me in the end.

I had an aggressive MRSA infection in :nms: my scrotum and perennium :nms: which took me from 0 to hospitalized in about four days. I was in the hospital for a week and I had to have surgery. Occupational hazard from working in a hospital, I guess. At this point, I think it's time to accept that I'm just not going to be able to make this happen. Things just aren't stable for me, and while I keep getting my hopes up, things don't seem to be getting any better. I'm not going to keep jerking everybody from crisis to crisis. Sorry for letting you all down. :smith:

That's rough, condolences. :( I wanna say I appreciated the chance to play (my first 4e PbP ever!) So thank you very much :)

I kinda wanna do something to keep this going, but I know I'm not up to the task of drawing and uploading maps and stuff.
Writing and doing monster math I'm pretty alright with.


Maybe we can post in the recruit megathread, looking for a DM? it wouldn't be the first time players have done that in there..

I was afraid that might end up being the case, but I don't hold it against you, Mirthless. Life happens.

I'd be up for finding a replacement DM, if that's okay by Mirthless, though. I'm really enjoying the crew we have going.

I really don't know how comfortable I'd be with somebody taking over the game. If you guys don't mind waiting until the weekend for me to heal I can still try to keep this thing going, but I figured at this point everyone would be tired of delays, and I haven't been able to spend significant time at my PC due to pain. It's up to you guys, but if you're still interested, so am I.
