I've been re-reading old threads on here to get my bearings for the home stretch. My gosh we've been through some stuff together! It's amazing to see how far we've all come in terms of story, characters, arcs, relationships, etc. When I'm done delving through all the stuff I'll make a notice thread with some highlights of things that would be helpful to remember. After more than 8 years of playing this game, I've definitely forgotten a lot!

Also, we're in place to get the last battle going pretty dang soon here....Closing in on it!

Penny's done some stuff and seen some things, hasn't she? :D I still remember all the best bits though. :)

Welcome back Kate!! Thank you so much for making the time to finish this game out with us! And lol, Penny’s not gonna make it easy on ya ;p

Wait, it really is Kate? Yay! Welcome back!

Lol, yup! We’ve had this planned about a year now! Just needed the story to catch up!

Thank you for having me back! I’ve been peeking in from time to time and our lovely GM thought it would be fun to throw Kate into the mix again. Nice to see you’re all still here!

I am also glad to have you back!

So I know I'm super behind on spell lists and hunter bonuses, etc, so I'm going to make this simple. I think I'm 5 levels behind on updating it.
You'll get 5 new action points (1 for each level)
a plus 1 on any skill check
a plus 1 on any save
an additional point of damage on all damage rolls
your crit DC will be lowered by one. So if you normally crit with a weapon at 20, you'll now get to do 19, etc.

Better late than never!

Sorry for the lack of posting today. I had it all planned but my cat is having mild medical drama and it just sucked me soul out. In the last 2 months we've spent over $2000 on this fool, lol. She's so high maintenance! Posting is on my to do list tomorrow, though!

Oh no, poor pud! Alright, good luck and take care.

And thanks for the bonuses. :)

I am trying not to get teary at the reunions and the impending conclusion of this game. I thought I would be fine with Colin out of the picture but now I get to focus on the other stories and it's getting to my heart.

I know how you feel! We've been playing this thing for 8 and a half years! I'm gonna be so messed up when it's all over. We've all put a lot into this thing. I'm going to be so sad when it all disappears. I wish there was a way to save it all. There's so many threads though, that it would be a major pain. Not to mention, it will be sad not to be playing with you people anymore.

Maybe I'll have to get everyone's emails again (I know you gave them to me somewhere years ago) and in 2-3 years when we've all recharged we'll have to figure out another game to do together, for those who are interested?

ME!

I've been saving my threads when they were done so I could have a record, though I've fallen behind on them. Though now you've brought it up, I simply have to save the rest!

Another game? Maybe a sequel? :D I already have Penny's life plotted out with future adventures, children and grandchildren. :) I think I'll always be on RPOL, though the gaming bug has been hard to keep hold of in recent years.

A sequel would be awesome! Or something in the same universe, or something completely different, who knows! I'm super curious to know Penny's future you have planned. There will be an epilogue at the end of this game that all the players will have a hand in deciding, so I look forward to hearing about it.

I'm definitely always going to be on RPOL too. My other game (a d&d one) has been going on for 12 years and my players aren't letting me quit anytime soon, so I feel like I'll be on here until I die, lol!

I WILL be here until I die.

Lol! We'll make a lovely bunch of old people someday, still rolling for initiative and everything.

Same. Nearly 15 on RPOL and I don't intend to stop now.

Hunters: The Next Generation! :D

17 years for me, though I've only had a few games go for any significant length of time. This is one of them. :) But I have so much weariness and burnout with some.

Wow! We're all old hats at this!

And brace yourself people. Once Penny is done experimenting, we're going to the final battle. Think about what you're going to bring with you weapon wise, outfit wise, unfinished business etc. No going back after this.

Which means I'd better get off my bum and finish up my drawings!

Wow. I'm suddenly sad. We really just have a mega battle left plus the epilogues. So weird. The first game I've ever finished on RPOL.

I hope the suggested location for testing the ring is okay. I didn't think it was something you wanted to play out.

I can't think of anything I'd need or want to do for preparation. d20 Modern isn't big on buying magic items to get by, of course. Before any fight starts, Penny will use her new Plan talent to give us some bonuses.

This week is really bad. No way I will have time to put any thought into this. Very sorry.

No problem! I've definitely been there! I hope your week gets better.

Ok, Just waiting on some info from Kate, and then I'll move things along to the final battle. Let me know if you need anything for the battlefield. What weapons you'll bring, strategies you'll prep, final last actions etc. Penny, let me know if you have any questions about the ring too. You will indeed see different auras depending on what type of creature/demon etc you see. I'm totally fine with whatever interpretation you wish to give such a thing.

I really need to get off my bum and do my final drawings! Sheesh!

Finally got Penny and Ian done. Just a couple more left to do before the game ends!

Also, I'm hoping to try putting my house on the market again this weekend so I'm scrambling to prep all this week. I should be able to resume normal posting next week, however.

I am sorry, but it seems my inability to post anything more than a quick OOC for another 2 weeks, minimum.
