Well we love our max but you know how bad he is at committing to a game. I think he might be better as a player than a GM. <3

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

As I get older I understand completely, time vs energy management is the hardest thing in life. I mean it's hard enough to get RL people to commit to a sit-down game, let alone vast story telling on the interwebs when stuff is constantly changing. If I was going to do a RPoL game again, likely it would be a waaaay more freeform, but I doubt I'd be getting back into it at all. My "gaming" backlog is so full already.

Anyway, how are think going on your guys life? I'm leaving the army after christmas, looking for a job in my field (one of which is a civ position in my current job in the army lol).

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Hey man! I hope you're doing well!

And yes...I just turned 37 a couple days ago and I notice the older I get, the less energy I have for sure! I always have energy for RPOL though!

I'm doing ok life-wise. I have 2 income properties that are thankfully paying rent still this year and still have my job. I am blessed as many people are losing their jobs and livlihood this year. I also am covid negative still (I even tested recently to make sure) although as always racked by allergies to everything.

How are you?

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Shit, y'all are still alive!

I run games in meatspace nowadays, here in West Seattle there is an actual honest to goodness tabletop gaming cafe. Currently running a Warhammer Fantasy campaign on Fridays and a DND 5e campaign on Sundays. I have gotten significantly better at commitment ever since I turned 27 last year, it's like something in my brain switched on. Prefrontal cortex or whatever.

Most of my attachment to Rpol is more based on my love for specific people (hello you two) rather than like, gaming per se. Is Rpol like, not dead?

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Hey man! That's great to hear you're settling down and finding more of a tabletop passion! A table top cafe also sounds like a really really cool venue as well.

I hope you've been doing well.

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

My job makes decent money and is incredibly low stress, so yeah I'm doing okay. I just manage some tech stuff for a tiny luggage company and also help with warranty evaluation. Aside from that I've got a close knit friend group of guys plus some old best friends to hang with, it's good.

Hoping to go back to uni next year and finish my BS in psych and maybe get on a premed track.

I've been super into Isekai and giant robot anime so maybe I'll run an isekai giant robot Theo!

I'm glad that you are doing well and able to take care of yourself, while also having time for gaming and such too! I hope you finish your BA/BS too!

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Isn't Seattle as west as they get? I mean it's literally on the water right? I mean I've been to pikes peak and everything and it was real close.

Anyway joking aside, glad your doing well. We should do a Theo sometime. I miss writing a bit.

Idk if Master Divine is around but he here got married or something sometime like 2 years so everyone poke him with a belated congratz.

So Seattle is really interesting geography wise, it's most a bunch of hills by the Sound but also J- hooks out into a peninsula, which is where I live (West Seattle). Usually there's a bridge connect the main city to West Seattle but it got goofed by earthquakes and has been in repair since the start of the whole pandemic thing.

The cool thing about West Seattle is a lot of the commercial property used to be residential, so like the cafe I go to is a converted house, as is the local pot shop, so is the local non-coed gym I go to. Very homey.

Yeah, Nat married Ms. White awhile back. After what, 7-9 years of dating? I haven't been on social media in like five years so I don't have the details.

I did just start a game, which abruptly now has 11 players and is 300+ posts in? I'm updating Tues-Wed-Sat-Sun. It's called Theo: Godhunter. Still (1) spot left on the roster if you're interested, there's no Paradox so it's a lot easier to maintain that most Theos. I have no effing idea how Nat managed 10+ players plus paradox.

Checked out Godhunter, not my cup of tea, but thanks for the ask.

One day he'll see these posts and be like "oh holy fuck people still live here!".

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Actually, Anik, can you remind me how forming a pantheon worked in the original Theo? Or how it worked in your games?

I remember Ragnar got some goodies for being elected King of the Gods but I don't think that was the normal Vassal / Lord rules. The first Theo I ever applied to was one of yours and I recall there were players who were vassals to other players in it?

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

This game did have vassals. I think Highlords got them, like Ruse and Anik. But we also in general could boss around lower status conclave members. Like I remember Pitcarn helped us on missions and stuff, etc.

Re: OOC VIII: OVER THE TOP!!!!!

Nah, I vaguely remember the rules. I was 14 at the time, but even still.

- You had to be at least Siegon rank to have a vassal.

- Vassals ranked up more quickly until they reached Ancillae (fewer spheres to level)

- As the Pantheon leader, you gained access to some of the powers of your Vassals.

It was a way to help new players catch up and also helped players form factions. I think it was from Theo: Resurrection? It was running at the same time as Eo 2.0.

Welp, guess I'll be inventing my own rules, haha.

Don't have vassals and pantheon leader stuff in Godhunter. It's already enough of a jumble. :P

I definitely prefer the way I'm doing magic, it's a lot more like Kookhe.
