JSC, thanks for sharing your D&D vision with us and crafting this game.  Well done.  I've had the fun over the years of playing several characters in Nemrac.

Enjoy your next adventure and many thanks.

I've actually got a spot in my Gamma World game. One player has apparently dropped the game (although he's still posting in another game where we're both players). I don't want to give over his PC to a new player without his say-so (I've asked, waiting for a reply), but if he's out, the group could use another character or two.

The game is called Gamma Terra, and it uses the 4th edition (1992) rules. link to another game

I’m running a 5e game and would be happy to start another group running parallel to the current one.

Right?! That's just like that sneaky, underhanded, and adorably handsome gang of scallywags.

Gang Green will return, when you least expect it!

On a more serious note: I know some players here are already over there, and some of you don't care for newfangled 5E, but the game D&D 5E: The West Marches, run by aguy777, is always open for new players. I was just PMing with the GM and he asked me to cordially invite anyone interested to join up.

It's another big game like this one, with lots of players, lots of adventuring groups, and no predefined plot. And for a 5E game, it's fairly deadly! He also gives out lots of XP (he doesn't divide it by the members of the group) so leveling up is pretty fast until you get to about 5th level.

What makes you think Gang Green hasn't already seized control?

I'd like to thank everyone who has sent PMs, rMails, and e-mails offering to stay in touch. FYI Tonight (Friday) is Family Night. Saturday, I work, and Sunday I'll be running an eight-player game of Coyote & Crow at the FLGS.

So what's Coyote & Crow? It's a sci-fi/fantasy/alt future RPG written by a Cherokee citizen, aided by a team of Native Writers and artists. The game's perspective is that Europeans never made it across the ocean to colonize the Americas, leaving the Natives to develop math, science, and tech alongside spirituality in their own ways.

Last Sunday I demoed Coyote and Crow at an FLGS Two little towns over and since the room only hold seven without getting too warm, I ran that game for seven. A fun time was had by all.


Anyway, next week is emptier, so I promise to make the time to respond to each and every message I have received. I look forward to it, in fact.  :^D


Here are some C&C pics: (NOT Castles and Crusades - no offense to the Troll Lords, but I like Coyote & Crow better!)

The game will be missed. Group 2, this was the most fun I've ever had while living in fear of Samitha's temper. Truly, if I live a million years, I will not be happier than my druid was to venture with you. It was a treat and an honor that I won't soon forget.

That said, Happy Arbor Day; go hug a tree!!

If I may make a bold suggestion:

Instead of closing the game down what about going on an extended hiatus?  Call it a year, and then revisit the idea of opening up again?

Most of us are long time RPLOERS at this point and I would think that, if you were up for it, some of us will still be around in one form or another.

Just a thought.
Brother Byron, crusading cleric

I mirror that thought, given you're going to have to delete the game to get rid of me.  A reboot/refresh/restart in whatever form it takes would be welcomed.

Life swings in cycles and I've got two other games on my sticky list that are in hibernation (since 2018) until the DM finds the time / desire or creativity to play again.  The players and DM keep in contact periodically to keep the game open and stop it being deleted from the back end.  Come back to the game when it feels like an old friend you want to visit, not when it's a burden to carry Jeff.

In reply to Brother Byron (msg # 65):

Sounds like a great idea.

What were the highest character levels in the game in the end?

one of the Original Players has a 10th level Druid, followed by a 9th level Magic-User, and so on down.

Yeah, I'll echo the sentiments on keeping the game on hiatus. I'll certainly be around.

We hung on through a hiatus before, a few years back. I'm willing to keep these characters on the back burner just in case.

Indeed, in a few months, Jeff might feel inspired again! ;-)

So they played all this time and only came in 10th among Druids, an inferior class to be sure?  I mean, really, anyone who speaks to trees and animals can't be right in the head.  Here I have only been around for a little while and am already #1 fighter, a class any good Dwarf can be proud of.

How to win friends and influence people, dwarf style.

In reply to Amalric (msg # 74):

It's easy when you are a Dwarf.  I can't imagine trying to get people to like you if you are an Elf or something worse.

Darn, here I've been here for several years and only made it to #4! How'd you get to #1 so fast?!

Should have been born a dwarf, Tern. Or a gnome.

I joined on Mon 13 Dec 2010. It doesn't feel like 13.25 years since Samitha almost (rightly) brained me with her morning star in my first tavern. Errol just barely dodged learning a lesson and still somehow managed to keep people alive and, in turn, be kept alive, long enough reach level 7. He's a mediocre thief, having only recently passed both a Move Silent and Hide in Shadows check in the same turn for the first time, but an amazingly lucky fighter when necessary. I will forever treasure my time as a rat-gnome, a curse that was nearly Errol's downfall as well as a key element of who Errol is. Especially the moment where, by unprompted die roll, he went completely feral, saved a party member (I think - Errol lies too much), and was patted on the back by Jeff for anticipating the direction of the curse. Nor will I forget the fact that is was Samitha that saved him. Paladins.

Errol was so opposite of IRL me, and so fun to play because of the people in this game. Thank you Samitha for choosing mercy and tolerance and then a huge dose of mercy again. In a way, Gang Green is what it is because of you. ... Sorry? :D

I am glad to hear there was a hiatus  before and it  might be just a matter of waiting.  I can do that...

One of my favorite sayings is
"It's better than Iraq."

I joined in December 2019 and ended the game with level 5 (though I never threw a single fireball :( )

Not sure if I was the best statted character in the game or not, but ended with 16 Str, 20 Int, 19 Wis, 19 Con, 18 Dex and 17 Cha!

Really?  That constitution bonus alone would mean you should have a minimum of 30hp at 5th level, so your INT and WIS are probably not as high as you're stating either.

A 9th level mage isn't too shabby.  Sounds like someone was lucky enough to come across a Libram of Silver Magic.

Hauraki got to 7th level

Minimum 15hp at level 5 mage with that Con. Remember, we aren't all fighters with an upgraded con bonus!
