Congrats!

Thanks! Got here Thurs night and living like bachelor's until the moving trailer gets dropped off. Just the essentials:

• tv on cooler
• ps3 with borderlands - the presequel
• fast food (and bacon) in the fridge
• computers cause I didn't trust their safer in the trailer
• the two cats - one was totally chill on the drive up, the other was... less than pleased by the event

Happy holidays everyone, for whichever holidays you celebrate.

Chrismahanakwanzika!

Merry Christmas Day to you all.

Best wishes to each of you, who seem one of the most considerate, thoughtful, and excellent group of game playing internet friends I've found ... pretty much ever.

Aww thanks! I'm quite pleased to have the rare find of a group of play-by-post folks who don't abandon the game at the first lull in posting.

May everybody have a prosperous New Year!

Very best to you all - I hope 2015 is full of good things!

Happy New Year everyone!

Btw Simulacrum, I saw the cover for The Taskan Empire over on The Design Mechanism forums. Looks pretty nice! Do you have any info to share? Is it AoT reworked for RQ6?

In reply to Tanek Sanasin (msg # 412):

It is indeed. Some stuff left out - the mini campaign included in the original AoT will come out under separate cover shortly afterwards. That's nearly done but there is laborious stat reworking to finish, and that takes time that is hard for me to find!

I also have left out the Enchanting and Alchemy rules (which need reworking too for RQ6) as this material is now intended to go into an 'Assabia' book which will focus on sorcery in Djesmirket and Morkesh, and I am slowly piecing that together. Some bits of new material, e.g. a lot more detail on the Emperor cult, and some content culled from the Companion. Taskan Empire will basically be released as soon as we have the Map sorted!

I'll probably do Sorandib and Artifice as a separate PDF book. I'm really fond of that city, and had a lot of fun GMing games set there in years past. That again is waiting on the time needed to convert the Artifice rules and deal with cult and NPC stats conversion.

I just don't know when I can get these things done. I set up a business 18 months ago, and that's obviously a major restriction on my time - and I have a family (4 kids)to pay attention to when I'm not working. Which is a lovely thing, of course. But not too much playtime...

I have to say that the world setting for Age of Treason is probably my favorite out of any that I've seen. I carved up the hi-red map into 1920 x 1080 screenshots and set my desktop background to rotate every minute just to get more familiar with the terrain.

Personally, the SOC attribute and corresponding profession restrictions are one of the little details that really enhance the game setting for me.

Happy New Year everyone.  I hope you all had a great break.  I've continued to be poor at keeping up.  New job is very demanding - no time to catch up during the day and I'm pretty much toast in the evening.  Will endeavour to keep up but it is likely to continue being intermittent.

In reply to Orinastron (msg # 415):

I think the fact that we're all still posting a couple years later shows we don't really mind "intermittent".

Waiting on a PM answer from Simulacrum before I continue.  Relevant to answering some of the things I've been asked etc. IC.

In reply to Sanjar Zand (msg # 417):

I think I answered these a little while back?

Happy St. Patty's Day everybody.

In reply to Kordan Mardahar (msg # 419):

Yeah!
Btw, congrats on the Taskan Empire release Simulacrum. :)

YES!!!  Congrats!

Catching up.  I lost track of things with waiting on PM interaction and whatnot.  Mea Culpa.

For those who might be interested I'm starting a new RQ6 / SoK + AoT game and any of you would be welcome to join in.  I in no way wish for it to detract from this game ( I'm still here. ), I just wanted to extend the offer to some people that I know are interested in the game/setting etc.

In reply to Sanjar Zand (msg # 423):

Oh yeah? I'd be interested.  RQ6 is still my favorite system.

Blood, Steel, & Lotus Dust?

Correct.  Just opened for applications etc.

That totally sounds interesting, but I would not be able to give it the attention it deserves. Have too many grabs on my attention for the time being.

No pressure.  If you change your mind at any point and are interested, that would be fine as well.

I'll hit you up in a couple weeks. Going out of town for a week and then gonna need some time to catch back up.

I have to say that the Age of Treason is by far the most interesting world setting I've gamed in since I dunno, maybe Dragonlance?

Ping.
