Out of Character Chat 2nd thread...

Pick it up here... :D

To my understanding and recollection though I will go back and read it to be sure, individuals took a few items from that trove as well but not all of it.  There wouldn't be room even with the horses.

I was called away abruptly and did not have computer access last week.  I'm back now and posting but I'll be out again tonight and not likely posting again until tomorrow.  Posting will pick up now.

Keep in mind one thing that Robert Jordan set down for the Wheel of Time game, he didn't want characters to become uber beings and wanted certain things limited by way of 'magic' and ability.

I agree that as written the warder class armor compatability is most efficient with Armsman but look at the books, not many warders are seen wearing armor.

 Don't look at pictures for evidence--The one thing that has disappointed me the most is the art work in relation to the people.  and the worst of all was the Encyclopedia of WOT book.  I have seen high school students draw better.  The people are hideous.

I don't tend to look at art work but I am referencing the novels' descriptions and very few Warders wear armor.

Now that you mentioned it, I aggree...not many wore armor. So, Taren will not wear armor....I am good with my skills to avoid danger. *nodnodnod* Anyways....thanks again for reminding me of my background. Very much appreciated.

My apologies for the delays in my posting, I've been out of town most of the last week without computer access.  I'm having to leave again tomorrow and likely will not be online again until Tuesday as I will be quite busy and likely unable to have time to post.

But if I do, I'll be here.

Work can be quite a pain some days and apologize for it affecting the game.

No worries, man. Real life comes first. I know bout work being a pain in the arse as it is being a pain in mine as well. We are short a guard so I am taking back up the slack till we get a new guard.

All things will be explained as you find and figure out the clues.  I'll be around and posting at least until tomorrow afternoon but the weekend will be intermittent at best for the next while.

Ok....where oh where is our GM gone?

Wondering the same thing. weekend and week came and went. :(

We were wondering too.  THis game has been so steady normally.

Real life must have whipped his ass but good. *sage nods*

Between work, my server migrating so I had no access for a few days, and my mother having a TIA things have been pretty ugly.

I have to go away for the weekend but after monday I hope to get everything moving steadily without any further interruption.

Hope your mom is feeling better and glad things are getting back to normal.

Thanks.  She's feeling better but she'll be going for a number of tests over the next few weeks to check things out...so we'll see what the results are when they come back.

Very glad to see you back I will hope that the test come out for the good.

REady to play when you cpme back.  LOL I can hardly wait

Welcome back. And I had to wait a week or so as my enternet died. Yeah...the fiber optics that provides me with my enternet was submerged under water when our river flooded its banks. So had to wait for the water to go down so the company can fix it. I am back now.

Where are you that it flooded?

Tonkawa, Oklahoma. It is located in North Central Oklahoma. When the Hurricanes decided to stop and party in Texas, they sent up the rain to Oklahoma where we got enough that it caused our rivers to flood. Not to mention all that hoo hawing by the Hurricanes caused more floods as well. Remarkable how coastal hurricanes can affect that far inland....and sometimes even farther depending on the size of the hurricane.

Yeah. It set off a bunch of tornadoes in Ohio when the remnants went through. They went so far as to close schools because of all the downed trees and powerlines.

Some places they estimated a week without power.

Oh I know Tornados concidering I live smack dab in the middle of Tornado Alley. Seems to be a favorite hang out for all the Tornados. *nodnodnod*

Where is everyone?

Still waiting on Addaru to continue I guess. :)

*nods* Cool. *gets out the GM prod and smiles as it sparks to life* I hope he don't make me use this.

To let all know what is going on. Real Life just threw me a curve ball and started dealing from the bottom of the deck. My mother is in the hospital and will be going into heart surgery Tues at 12 noon CST. So, if worse case scenero happens, I may not be back for a few days or longer but I will try to keep you updated...depending on how I feel. I am sure she will be fine and all will be ok but still....that is my mommy there.

Prayers and Light coming your way for you and your Mom forom us both

Things went well. She had balloon stints installed in her artery to remove blockage and open it back up. She is out of the hospital and doing well.

Good to hear. Its almost amazing what they can do with heart procedures. A friend had quad bipass and was out of the hospital in a week, and back at the gym in 4 weeks on the treadmill, normal activity in 8 weeks. :)

I hope her recovery is full and speedy.

My apologies all.  Real life also threw me a curve ball and this is the first day I've had anywhere close to some downtime to address things like Rpol and the fact that I haven't been around.

My computer ended up glitching out and fried my motherboard.  I was in the hospital as well due to some throat and lung issues I am having that they cannot seem to track down at the moment as to their cause.  I am stable now but will be having further tests.

The next few days I have to work on getting some priority material finished for work but I am aim to get caught up here on Tuesday.  I'll see what Marissa has done in my absence and either work it in or leave her in control if that is your own desires given my absences.

I'll be back on tuesday to get the ball rolling or whatever the decision is.

You go ahead and take care of the more important matters.  We will be hear for you when you get back frppm all of that.  Hope they get the health issues clear ed up that is important too.

Again take care we will be right here.  To good of a game to lose.

Your health comes first, my friend. Marissa has things undercontrol here. As Raiel said, we be here when you get back. I am in the process of looking for a new job. Due to lack of daycare, I had to quit my previous job. Single parenthood sucks ass at times.

Just to give you a heads up, posting on the weekends will be limited for me but I am as you may have noted back on a fairly steady basis so I will be moving the plot forward shortly and plan to get us ramped back up in posting to move the game along.

The plot awaits... :P

Just some fYI....jobless still. I may loose internet for some time till I get my job back. So, I did not dissappear. Just hitting some rotten luck at the moment.

I hope you get your job back soon or find another better one.  GOod luck and best wishes form the both of us.

Sorry to hear that Taren. Not a great economy to be job hunting in. I do know that what retailers are hireing for season are finishing up their hireing. usually only part time unfortunately.

Is there a particular field and area you are looking in?

Ouch!  I feel for you.  Good luck in finding work.  We'll keep you active in the game if you disappear, no worries there.

well, I would still have my job if I did not loose the only baby sitter I can get. But, what posed as my sister decided she did not want to help family anymore and quit watching my children therefore forcing me to quit my job as I had no sitter for my kids and there were no daycare for the times I was working. I would change hours but the supervisor already took the only hours I could work and still have day care. So, the only one that could help me in turn screwed me over big time so here I am....jobless and searching.

That truly sucks Taren.  Family can be such a let down.

Tell me about it.

I've been toying with a second story-line for some time now either as a sequel to this game or concurrent with it.  Would there be interest?

Also, considering the idea of possibly allowing one or two new players in to get some fresh cannon-fodd er... fresh mea... err ahh fresh blood into the mix.  Thoughts?

Though I can just as easily keep it going with the six of us as integrating new players can at times be a pain in the ass.  As I am around a bit more regularly though, the creative process is kicking into gear with ideas.

Generallly against it but if you want to try new blood, knock yourself out. :)

Are you interested in a second story-line either concurrent to this one with new characters or as a sequel of sorts to this one?

Adding on or losing characters along the way I have not problem with, as in reality it is what happens in any sort of group--there is a core and those who are temporary.

I really love what has been going on and who knows Asurii might even get Raiel to ride a horse at some point.  I can't see the being Daughter Heirs and walking about when everyone else is riding.  HEHEHEHE

So no interest in a second game.  The concurrent storyline would have everyone starting at 1st level.  Though I will state right now that both games are likely to limit or disallow wielders of the One Power as I am looking to make this a grittier and more localized arc.

One of the arcs being considered is to be set in a city, likely Tanchico which is the arc I seem to be most favoring.  It will be heavy on the RP.  The other arc is set among the Isle of the Sea Folk and it will focus on exploration.

I would be interested in another game to run concurrently or whatever.  I love the WHeel of Time World.  I would like to be Aes Sedai or WIse One or WIlder.  That would be cool too.

Oh pooh I didn't read all the post, I guess I can be a female two rivers bowwoman. or an armswoman. or hunter of the horn

A second game would be cool. I also like a subplot to this game if you are interested. I prefer the mainland. Not big on exploring. Not a big fan of the sea folk *grins*. Mainly cause I am not a big fan of Ocean adventures. Kinda scared of the ocean irl.

Most of my players at one point or another learn the virtues of having decent skill in swimming, climbing and jumping in any games I run.

lol....yeah....well, I am not a good swimmer irl though.

Nod...I'm way out of practice in real life but I tend to make sure unless I have a specific character concept counter to the idea that all my characters have at least rudimentary skill in swimming.  Though Addaru barely knows how.

Those underground lakes tend to be hazardous in most standard DnD games.  :D

irl i swim like a fish,lived  two blocks from Venice beach in CA, My father ws a life guard and life guard instructor, I could swim better than I could walk when I was real young.  Anyway  Aiel don't swim but usually may character have some swimming skill above ability but mostly in climb,. and jump.

Who is GA that needs to make a spot check?

Everyone needs to make a spot check.  Sorry about that.

I think I mentioned this before but just in case, postings on the weekends are going to be rare for me.  I will probably be on Rpol at least once during a weekend (that being 4pm Fridays through to Monday afternoons MST) but most of my posting will occur during the weekdays be it as Addaru or as a GM.

No worries here.

For the record there is a surprise round coming up, so no warning can be made or reacted to before the round occurs.

In the future, I will post in the PM whether or not you will have time to give warning.

During the surprise round only Raiel and Addaru can act as they made their spot checks.  I will be posting that tomorrow though as I need to get ready for a dinner date.

We learned a lot of weave from the globes, I thought balefire was one of them.  I am serching the old posts for the information of what we recieved from the globes. I am not sure what level of weaves we can do, given the diadems Asurii and Raiel now wear.

I'm pretty sure Marissa spelled out somewhere what everyone learned.  I just don't remember where exactly that was.  I'm sure she has a better idea and it would be helpful to have the thread and post number so we can all review it if you do recall it Marissa.

Though I would double check your PM's as that is where I worked things out for what Addaru learned.
This message was last edited by the GM at 20:31, Wed 19 Nov 2008.

OK  I found that I already updated PC sheet with what was given.  We now have all affinities, and talents, +1 to Channeling level, and the feat Cast on the Fly.

Just not sure of the Diadems.

Once all results are determined from the surprise round, I will proceed with setting up the first official rounds.  If you would like to go ahead and roll for your initiatives for that round, post them to me in a PM and that will move combat along.

I have always played Asurii and one dedicated to The Light and now it seems The Light likes me.

Pays to read over ald things.  Found ther were were to taka Wilder and not Initiate for channeling class to I have at least updated my sheet.

Also looking over my goodies I found that I had the Crystal Spar that does 4D6 of damage to shadowspawn and that only the One Power hurts them as they regenerate normal damage.

Depends on whether these Darkhounds are lesser or greater as to whether weaves of the One Power is the only thing that can kill them.

Even the Greater Darkhounds can still be hurt by normal weapons, they just cannot be killed by them.

Just to make sure we are all on the same page, actions taken after reply #463 in the I.C. thread have yet to occur if you were surprised as the attack takes place within seconds of you all coming through.  Only Addaru and Raiel were unsurprized.

Marissa and Raiel have posted potential actions for Round 1 but may choose to change them based on how Initiative shakes out.  Once Taren's init is posted, I'll move into the next round.

Also of note, I tend to run things a bit more with the numbers then freeform.  There is a definite risk of death for all characters in games I run.

Regarding the other games would you prefer to just use this game forum for them or set up new ones?

This one is fine for a separate thread for the new game.

Sorry folks. Been busy and shite.

Taren, in answer to your question, no for a number of reasons.  This is a balanced encounter based on one factor of designing encounters and the overall abilities of the five characters, three of whom are proficient channelers.

It is meant to be an extremely tough encounter.  While I am not saying this is one of them, not all encounters are designed to be won by the PCs ... some you are meant to run from.

I know....just curiouse is all. Thanks for the clearification, my friend. *games on*

I'll adjudicate the next bit of the combat round shortly but to give you a heads up, due to a cancellation a procedure I am scheduled for is now happening tomorrow.

As long as there are no complications I should be back on my feet by some time Wednesday but in case I am not, you all know why if the game has a pause for a few days.

Good luck. Best to get it over with sooner. :)

Thanks.  I wish that was the end of it.  This procedure is just exploratory to try to find out what is going on so a treatment can be determined.

I'll drop a line as soon as I am able though active posting may be a bit after that.

No worries my friend. Real life comes first. Take care of your health. That is more important. We will be here when you return.

Yep we will be here the--PLOT thickens.

PLOT  Short for PLetherbealOT  or Please Let there be a lot Of Treasure.

You have treasures a plenty  but just not money LOL.

Ywah, how many items did you just get? :)

Agreed, she has treasures beyond price.  What's money, Gold is good though.  Aiel like gold.

Procedure went well, no complications so far...one concern that is being investigated but won't know the results until February.  Planning to rest though, expect posts tomorrow.

Glad to hear things are going well so far.

Bad news folks. I lost my internet 2 days ago so I won't be able to be on for a while till I get my net sorted out. Please bare with me. Thank you.

As noted I took a couple of days longer then I anticipated but the rest was needed.  With the American thanksgiving this weekend and Taren's internet issues, the game will likely slow down but I will be posting later tonight and I will NPC Taren in the combat to keep it moving.

I do expect the next few days to be slower though depending on how many of you have celebrations to attend.  I also will be away for a bit this weekend as it is my one-year anniversary with my girlfriend and we have a few plans to celebrate.

The new game is coming just as a heads up.  I'm still developing my notes.  It also looks like I am taking over another WoT game whose GM had to step away from the game.

I know at least one of you is in that game as well.

Which One.

Is it for Creator or Fernandez

We play in three WOT games, This one, The one GMws by Fernandez, and the one GMed by Creator.

The Creator's game has gotten to be very slow for some time and he mentioned he has little time for it  I am hoping that it it is that game.  WE play Raiel and Asurii but we are straight Maidens and nothing more.

Let us know when you can which it is.
This message was last edited by the player at 05:57, Tue 02 Dec 2008.

Neither game actually.  I believe the original GM used the title Master of All Things but it has had a couple of temporary GMs since then.

Any room for more players?  :OL Always would love another game even two, being retired I have losts of time.

I'll be giving them the same option I give any game that I end up taking over, it will be their choice as to whether or not to open it to new players.  I'll let you know what they say.

Meanwhile, post away here.  :P

Last XP was in Aug.  Any chance, with all we have been through, that we would have raised up a level?

Technically in game, it has only been a few "hours" since that last XP was assigned in August when Marissa stepped down as GM and I took over.

Normally, XP is done differently in WoT then DnD and it takes 2 to 3 full adventures before you end up gaining enough XP to level as it is assigned per adventure not per encounter.

Our original GM did it a bit differently still due to the nature of this format which has been continued as a bonus but there has not been enough significant events even with that bonus to bring anyone to a new level.

Also, I don't tend to give out XP in the middle of combat. ;-)

Not to worry though, you'll likely see XP in a few weeks though again I doubt there will be enough to level up but we will see.

Until then, we'll see how this combat goes...Raiel what are you going to do?

How many of you have the module "Prophecies of the Dragon"?

I do. :)

Nope :(

Just checking in. Still jobless and no net. Using father's puter. Anyways....still alive....somewhat.

Hi all,

I will be posting in the morning.  I was hit by some harsh bug over the weekend where my temperature would flip extremes on a dime and I have no clear recollection of a good chunk of it from Saturday night on.

I'm more aware now but still fighting the temperature flips but not to the extreme and I am pretty exhausted even now so I am heading to bed shortly and hoping that I can get a good night's rest to kill this bug once and for all.

All PMs will be addressed in the morning.

Take care of yourself some of those flu bugs can really lay you low for a time.

So it took an extra day.  :(

Asurii please make the weavesight check to learn it anyway.

I'd like to remind players that it is there responsibility to keep their character sheets updated.  If it isn't there when it is to be used when there can be immediate consequences, then I don't count it as being available.

Also make any weavesight checks to learn healing for those that don't have it and for heal as well since currently it isn't listed on Raiel's character sheet.
This message was last edited by the GM at 23:17, Wed 10 Dec 2008.

Another question for you all, how many of you have the errata?

I glossed over healing to get us moving again due to my illness eating away the week.

One thing, Raiel what are your current affinities as they impact what you can learn in a couple of cases.

Also Asurii and Raiel, please give me one more weavesight check each.

I don't think I have the errata. I had several WoT links that aren't working any longer, including cool new weaves, Maker rules, etc.

I'll make a thread for the errata some time this week and post it as a notice.

I will be starting a new thread shortly to take up our tale.

Hey all. Checking in. This is a terriable time of year to be searching for a job. Especially when I have to be as picky as I have to be due to being a single father. Anyways. I will be checking in once a week. Not enough to warrant posting but enough to let you all know what is goin on.

MERRY CHRISTMAS!!!! Joyous Yuletide!  Have a Happy whatever you celebrate.

The Twins.

Wishing also for Taren to find a goodpaying job and or a babysitter.

I second both of those motions. :)

I third them. :D

I've been busy with holiday stuff myself and as such things will be a bit casual until the new year as I won't be around the computer much.

I'll probably post shortly in the active IC thread once I get caught up in reading it.  :)

Checking in folks. Still jobless. If not for family, kids would not have gotten anything for christmas.

Still hoping you find something soon. Family is family, for good and bad. :)

Heading down to Key West for a couple days. I'll be back late Sunday. There should be internet at the guest house, but in case it isn't working, wanted to give everyone a head's up.

I'm back from my own holidays and ready to start pushing posts and get the story rolling again.  How was everyone else's holidays and are you ready to get going again?

Checking in. Still jobless. My holidays are just that. Another day for me.

Up were ready  By the way I am oin another WOT game wiht the DM has become none Existent for for one or two sentence posts every 2 weeks.  There are a couple of players that have been fairly dedicated, is there room for more in our game?

The more the merrier. That is my opinion though.

Which game is it?

Wheel of Time: The Tome of Destiny.

Can you give me a link please?  Saves me running a search.  :D

In reply to Addaru si Bashan Kellan (msg #117):

link to another game

I'll look it over and see what I think.  Thanks for the link.

However, if and before I open this up to incorporating new players, how do the rest of you feel about doing this?

I think Taren already said yes

Never hurts to double check in case people have changed their minds. ;-)

That being said, what levels is that game at?

Our thread is at 7th, not sure of the others but will ask.

I would also need to know how many have used traits to buy extra "abilities", be they feats or some other thing.

Would they also be looking at keeping the same characters?

In reply to Addaru si Bashan Kellan (msg #123):

One is a Lvl 8 Wolfbrother (male)
One is a Lvl 6 Wanderer (male)

Have OCCed them about using traits to buy extra abilities.

I would also like to know the ability that was purchased if they did so please.

Asurii, while I won't guarantee a spot in this game with those characters, it may be easier to have Chloe Hudson, Derval Clementine and Raza come here.  RTJ and post their character sheets including what traits if any they took and what they bought with it instead of having you shuttle back and forth between the games.

Who among the three of you is holding which weave?  That may well be important at some point. ;-)

Feeling the weave VS channelers is the most important, Marissa will be in charge of that one.

And the other two?  Which weave will Raiel and Asurii take?
This message was last edited by the player at 20:09, Thu 08 Jan 2009.

Also, no promises again but if Jidar Valwedh and Kain would like to submit their characters for review and transfer to a WoT game, they can certainly rtj so as to make discussing the possibility easier.

You may have noted that I moved all the IG threads over to Group 1.  This is in part due to the possibility of adding a second group and possibly one or two more games as I had originally discussed last year.

Just for players amusement, we are coming up on our 6th anniversary since the game started.

Asurii will take the Spadowspawn Ward, because she is higher that Raiel in Channeling.

Cool  It has been tons of fun so far, hoping for a continued long time.

I think we might be able to stretch this game's thread out for a few more years.  :P

LOL perhaps some time some where Raiel might find a man who matches her.

One that has not been taken by the other women you travel with. ;-)

While doing some organizing, I realized just how much time has passed for the characters within the game and that character's listed ages are not their accurate age.  Each of you has aged at least one more year.

Based upon when your character joined up, I have adjusted your age accordingly.

Marissa, Raiel, and Asurii are now 19.

Mirya is now 21.

Addaru is now 22.
This message was last edited by the player at 08:41, Fri 09 Jan 2009.

Hey--we're all just spring chickens.

It's a bit odd that Addaru is now the oldest among everyone.  :P

He's matured greatly in the past three years and I believe I am the only remaining player from the original group that started in March.

Poor Ol' man.  :)  I always thought Addaru was older, like late 20's early 30's.

You and I. :)

 NOw think of all the lovely years you can live together.  :P

Experiences can age and mature a person far beyond their years.

In the scheme of things wer are all rather young in years but have experience so much more than most our contemporaries.

Raiel feels certainly older than she did when she left the Three-fold Land that long year ago. but I don't need geritol yet.  LOL

How extensive is the weaves radius.  And during that time have we learned anything more about the rings?

Marissa can you provide the dimensions for the weave please.  I'm currently not at home and cannot check my books.  Thanks.

You don't learn much given the forced march leaves very little time for study.  But the rings appear to need an outside active source of the One Power.

I do not think I have ever heard of that, what would it mean.  Does someone else have to be channeling against us for it to work?

basic 0 level weave is 50 feet per channeler level. Each of the weaves were the equivalent of a 6th level weave when cast.

If you use the various wards vs, they are a tenth the strength at level 1 vs level 0 detect. Many wards are 300 feet or 60 times the starting level range.

That would mean roughly 3,000 feet per channler level. Seems a bit high, so I would suggest a +2 lets you determine type and direction, giving it a 4th level range increment (a multiple of 10) so 500 feet per channeler level.

Since linking and angreal increase weave level, nto caster level, then the ranges would be 2,000 feet for Asurri, 1500 feet for Raiel, and 7,000 feet for Marissa.

Since it isn't a variable weave, I'm not so inclined to change the distances as that makes it far too powerful in my mind but I will give bonus information if a concentration check is made for each point.

The DC check will be 20 and for every two levels of weave slot, you can get one point of information be it type, number, direction or location.

I'm home now with access to books.

OK. :) Was just trying to figure what the variables would be. So a 0 level weave with 50ft per level with type, number, and location (since that is more precise than location. :)

Hmm so, with that up, could a weave be targeted at their location, or at the shadowspawn themselveS?

If one makes a concentration check at DC 20, Asurii can make three at the moment. :)

No...you still need line of sight to the actual target.  (After all that would make the One Power far too unbalanced for an RPG.) :D

Asurii, I'm just curious if you extended an invitation to Jidar Valwedh and Kain from the other game.  If they would like to submit their characters for review and transfer to a WoT game, they can certainly rtj so as to make discussing the possibility easier.

While I doubt I will add them to this game, I am starting up at least one more so there would be room for them to come over though changes may have to be made to their characters to accomodate for the fact that I don't use some of the stuff he did.

In reply to Addaru si Bashan Kellan (msg #151):

Well, line of sight but with darkness and such (cover) would it give any bonuses?

Presuming the concentration checks were made, you'd have a few rounds to prepare and depending on the terrain one or more rounds to fire ranged weapons or weaves depending on the speed and type of Shadowspawn.

Yes  the Aiel class was call battle dancer and we had skirnish attacks like scouts do.  which made lots of sense.  Spot was a class skill as well.  I have the whole class somewhere.

Quite possibly or channeling near you.

The Battle Dancer class is a fan-based class in the Under the Dragon's Banner supplement.  Page 13 listed as the Dai'dore.

Someone may have revised it using the 3.5 edition and taking some notes from the Scout class but the Scout class came out long after WoT 3e.  Though many have looked to revise it to 3.5 since.

Addaru--I don't think I did invitate Jidar Valwedh and Kain, but I will today.

Thanks.

In reply to Addaru si Bashan Kellan (msg #159):

No, none of them.  We had been with another group, but being true to are characters we wanted to return to the Aiel lands, so we broke off from them Jeanne I and one other who disappeared were the only ones in our thread.

The DM of the game ran a number of threads.  Over the last year his posts got to be 1 every few weeks and maybe a line or two in length.

Still alive and jobless.

Sorry to hear that Taren, I hope you like how your character is being played.  Best of luck in finding one soon.

It looks like you have your GM back, you can extend the invitation to them anyway, probably through Rmail, they may still be interested.  Character Generation rules for the third game will be posted tomorrow but a brief intro blurb is up in Game Information.

A brief intro and character generation rules are up for the two new games.  If you are interested in either or both games please let me know and send me a character concept in a pm please.

What time frame are the two new games set in? Is the Black Tower in existance? Has the taint been cleansed? Has the White Tower Split?

Tanchico's game none of those events have occurred yet.  It begins in late winter of 998.

The Blight game the Black Tower has formed, the White Tower is broken but Saidin has yet to be cleansed.  It is late winter-early spring 1000NE.

Please welcome Derval Clementine to the game.  She will be part of the company in Game 3.

Welcome to the group and the game Derval.

Hi, Derval, I was hoping you would be put with us.

In a manner of speaking she will be if you plan to join play a second or third character in that game.

What time is it in the Blight game has the tower been broken?  I was writing my history up and need to know

Hey everyone

See post #166 above for this information.  It will be added to the Readme threads shortly.

Hello Derval

How is everyone doing and i can't wait to play

Are you using the Age of Illusions net supplement?

http://wot213.tripod.com/supplement/utdb.pdf

How are we doing HPs? Max, dice roller, max first and roll remainder?

I am allowing the Dai'dore from that but other material I am not.  I'm reviewing all three netbooks to see what I will bring into these games as some material is decent but other bits are seriously unbalanced.

1st level - max hit points, roll for each level thereafter.

Just one other point, though I can see where my wording may have lead to some confusion.  You do not have to choose just one of the new games or another, you can play in both if you are up for running more than one character.  Up to a maximum of three characters for those from the original game here.

Though if you accepted as a channeler in one of the new games, I will likely allow someone else to play it in the other game.

And here I thought I might like to try out play and ist level Domani Wanderer.   LOL  Something totally different.

*laugh* In Tanchico??? ;-)

So she wanders a lot  LOL

In search of stepping off on another path, a journey reincarnated upon the Wheel.

I suppose I should add that into the notes. ;-)

Just to explain a few things with Prophecies, I had considered adding in new players to this game but after some consideration on the topic I decided our current group of five characters works for the direction of this campaign arc and that adding in new characters might be quite disruptive to the pattern of the arc.

As such, I decided to keep the original game restricted unless we lose someone, though given the arc planned there is a very good chance that it will run for probably two to three more years so I hope you are all committed to such length...who knows the game may actually go a full decade before ending.

Hence new players will be taken in the other two games of which the Blight is a spinoff sequel to this game that will focus on one of the mysteries this group has left unsolved.

I would like to hear from my original players how many of you plan to submit characters and whether for one, the other, or both games.

We have two new players from the Tome of Destiny game, though one hasn't responded in a bit so I don't know where she stands.

Once I know what my four original players want and what the five invited players decide, presuming they all come on over then if there are openings left I will broadcast on players wanted.

Since these games are ones that I am GMing from the onset, I will not be running an active PC in them.

So, Stonebridge is a 3rd new game? If it is a spin-off of this one, what level will it be at?

Sorry for the confusion, I have corrected the above post.  Stonebridge is where the company for the "Strangeness Walks within the Blight" begins.  Depending on choices made, the village of Stonebridge will likely play a reccuring role in that game.

Cool. Well, you have my first 2 character choices for StoneBridge. :)

Waiting to see how many sign up for the other, but will likely submit a character for that to round out the group. :)

Cool!  Don't forget your concentration checks for Prophecies.  ;-)

I'll likely give the two groups two weeks to acknowledge interest and submit a character proposal though finalized characters do not necessarily have to be completed but it would be handy.

After that I will open it up to others outside those two games.

In reply to The Dark One (GM) (msg #186):

lol They are tied off, will remain without concentration, since her mind is clearly on other matters. :)

She did alarm the area too. :)

*grin* Just because I ask for a check for that skill doesn't necessarily have to always be about the weaves, there are other uses for that skill as well...granted few GMs rarely use them but they are there. ;-)

I've received some applications over the weekend and will be reading over them tonight with possible comments.  I will be starting a character thread to help all of us track which characters are in each game.

Also, just a reminder that most of my posting occurs during the week as my access on weekends is usually far less due to not usually being home.

Checkin in.

Still keeping good thoughts and sending Best Wishes tp you, Taren

Hey Taren, I echo Raiel's thoughts and wishes.  I'm holding down the fort for your character.

We're all hoping you can return soon after taking care of securing your livelihood.

Characters.  I sent an idea in, but to the Dark One--as his name was on the game set up.

Can I create a female Shienaran Battle Dancer of the Blight game?

You are referring to the Dai'dore on page 13 of UtDB?

Yes on Dai'dore.

Go ahead and develop one.

I'm back, I was pretty busy the last couple of days dealing with real life and didn't have the energy to focus on posting.

With respect to the gating since a distance wasn't specified, I chose one.  *egrin*

Oh goody, you chose. (tongue in cheek)

Sure, just ignore the conversation about gating to it. :) Surprise attacking. :) lol

Sure LOL  anything you say

Gating to what?  No one specifically said... Addaru suggested deeper into the foothills to throw off anything that was around though they'd lose any chance at the trail...

... no one said anything ... to specify otherwise...

*grin*

Yes, something was mentioned...and yes all of that discussion was taken into account...but when casting gate, I do prefer a specific destination to be given in the attempt. ;-)

I'm presuming that this was tongue in cheek regarding the war between the two countries...what are you interested in Raiel for Tanchico?

I was interested is a Domani wanderer or a Dai'dore,  or an armswoan who specialises in bow well eventually..

The wanderer isn't a problem and would certainly be welcome in the Tanchico game.  The problem is the state of relations between the nations of Arad Doman and Tarabon would seriously increase the danger to your character if she were to be discovered as a Domani in Tanchico.

What about if she is a performer. something like a bard.  I just wanted to play a seductive woman  LOL  could be any race but domano of known for those skills  IF not an arswoman or dai'dore who got left in Tanchico after merchant split for some reason.  like she was stranded theire

Help.  I can not find in the WOT gamebook where it has a table for bonus weaves for Wilders, and it is not in the Initiates either.  PC has 18 wis and 16 chr.

Is it the Stat Mod? for those two stats?

It is the Ability table, page 17, in WOT rulebook

Sorry all it has been a bit of a rough week which impacted my posting levels.

This also reminds me that I need to get the errata posted for the core book.

It okay we will be here when Hell freezes over

I'm assuming the channelers are not linked yet, but all hold the one power, or no?

yes for the twins

Just a reminder I usually am not around much on the weekend and while I do on occasion have computer access, I don't often get a chance to post.  Today, I have company from out of town, hence the reason the surprise round will be posted tomorrow.

Futhermore, I do use the combat rules so certain actions cannot yet take place hence the voiding of the posts mentioned as they cannot yet occur.  Otherwise things become far too unbalanced especially channelers.

Checking in. JOb searching is taking longer than expected. I guess understandable considering that I have to work on the hours that daycare operates. Not many places will hire me for that.

The wanderer works fine.  The Domani, anywhere but Tanchico would have been fine.  You could always tweak your other character and change that one to a Domani and the wanderer to the other character's country of origin.

So should I mark you down as a wanderer, origin to be decided?

In other news, I'll be replying to most of you about your characters and making final selections later today.  Characters will be finalized shortly and I will be looking to start shortly thereafter.

I believe I mentioned this above but just in case I will be starting a thread that will list the characters involved in each game to help us all keep them straight.

Yes  a wanderer is fine for now  Though I was also thinking of a bow specialist too, which class might balance out the group better.

What seems to be the count of archers. and are any in a group proxemity of 25-50 of each others.  Fireball or Riven Earth.
This message was last edited by the player at 21:15, Thu 29 Jan 2009.

The count would seem to indicate at least seven archers.  That's the count on the incoming arrows from each 'flight'.

The archers are spread out but depending on the Area of Effect, you'd be able to catch at least two maybe three.

Just a heads up to say hi to a couple of new players in Chloe Hudson and Jidar Valwedh to the Blight game.

My internet access died this afternoon and did not come back up before I had to leave for evening plans.  I'm currently borrowing my girlfriend's laptop to give you all a heads up.

I'm hoping my own access will be back up tomorrow so I can finish the updates.  The major update will come on Sunday.

However, I decided to change my mind in the Blight game, two channelers were accepted in that game.

The character lists to keep everyone straight will be posted over the weekend.

The partial character lists have been posted.  If you see your character name that means you have been accepted but the character sheets will not be posted until sunday as they need to be approved and I may add some tweaks to some histories.

In the case of the Unnamed PCs, your class choice has been approved, see the PMs  but need to finalize a character sheet and concept for the appropriate game.

I am also considering narrowing those two games down to six characters instead of 8.

In case it has been missed in a PM, the main update and finalization of the characters I currently have will occur on Sunday.

I spent most of sunday and monday in the hospital as my mother had a complication from her procedure hence the non-posting.

I'm not going to be able to get to it today but I have tomorrow off so I will be doing it in the morning.

Though I may still get some of it out today...we'll see.

Hey...good news....will be returning after Friday 13th when I get my federal tax returns back. Unless I get my state taxes back then I will be on sooner. Still jobless but the tax returns will give me something to live with till I get a job for at least several months.

That's great news Taren and I am sure quite a relief for you.  See you soon.

In reply to Addaru si Bashan Kellan (msg #224):

That is great news. If you didn't get your full rebate last year, you should get the rest of it this year, and be in line for another $500 if Obama's plan passes.

Good to hear that Taren  Though I am hoping and praying you find a job soon.

Where do you live--there is a nationwide call for people to do the census at I do believe $17 and hour.

The National Census? Is it that time again? Is this the phone stuff, or the door to door interviewing?

I am not sure.  just read article in the paper.  www.sensus.ocm is the URL it gave

www.census.com  Gads Jeanne can't type or proofread.

Asurii can you confirm that the summation for your actions is correct?

One shield Marissa
two fireball the the best group of enemy, without endangering ourselves.

Thanks Asurii.

Raiel you are up, the Addaru and Taren posts are just color to enforce the danger of fire in an already parched region that is susceptible to burning. ;-)

Character sheets are going up, it has just been taking longer to get through checking on some of these than I had anticipated...granted this week hasn't been the greatest for having online time.

Monday and Tuesday ended up being a rush project for work, Wednesday as some of you know and the rest should be made aware is usually not a day I post much as it tends to be very busy...it is my live group night for gaming.

Today was spent for the most part waiting in a doctor's office for two hours after my appointment was to have been...the good news is I don't have throat cancer...the bad news I will be at a higher risk of it and on pills for the rest of my life.

Glad for you at the good news, now be a good boy and take you medicine. We can hold on for you to get things together.

Already have been for two months, today's appointment just confirmed that I have Barrett's Esophagus, an especially long portion of my throat has been affected.

I'll continue to plug away.  :D  Though it is bedtime soon.

Glad it isn't cancer, although I'm guessing not far off if it has increased your risk for the rest of your life, and on meds too.

Checking in. One more week providing the government is on time.

Good to hear that you don't have cancer :). Sorry to hear about the higher risk and pills to pop every day :(.

This week has been something of a bust and I do apologize for the lack of posting.  I had a rush job on a project for work that has now consumed close to seventy hours in the last five days.

It should be finished tomorrow and I will hopefully be able to put out a larger update on Friday but I wanted to get a quick post out so you all know what is going on.

Chloe's character is in the final stages of approval.

I Understand that RL sometimes really takes you away.  Glad you are back I was worried when you didn't hear form you.

Yes it most certainly can.  Always at the most inopportune times.

I am back....can I get a summorised update please? I don't want to have to go reading 2 months plus of posts. *grins*

Welcome back.  You're up in the combat round. ;-)

Unless someone else wants to do a quick update, I'll get to this later tonight.

There are two other games starting up here that we are in the process of finalizing characters for though due to work suddenly having a huge push and some family health issues, have unfortunately taken longer than I would like and probably will be a bit yet.

Ambushed, Marissa is down, Mirya still shielded thanks to tied off shields, fireball has set the area on fire, which is likely to spook the horses before too long. I think only Addaru's adn marissa's are trained warhorses, but could be wrong. :)

Ok....before posting...what are we up against, where are we, and what is the current situation other than what you mention. Need details on the area we are in too so I know what to do next.

Several bowmen surrounding us there are trees and dry scrub, some of it now on fire.

The archers are spread out, a fireball only managed to catch three of them.  Taren can go after one and still have an attack but for the moment they are spread out so you can only engage them in melee one at a time...however Taren has his own bow drawn.

Cool.

Sorry for the delay, we had a friend of the family pass on.

my condolance. I am just wondering if and when you are starting the Blight and the tanicho game I am eager to play

Wha??? *is lost* But my condolances upon your lost. I know all to well how it feels to loose someone you care about.

Our, condolences on your loss.

Always sad. Hope it was quiet and painless for the one who passed on.

Hello...just checking in...how is everything? How ya feelin?

Hey there Goodd to see you one more.  Just waiting for our DM.

Okies.....I hope he is well.

 sighs  they two games i am in  here have not even start yet. waiting for them to start

Thank you for your patience, I realize it can be trying.  A couple of days after our friend passed on, another friend of the family passed away due to cancer.  This hit pretty close to home and between that and a few other things going on in real life that had to get resolved asap, I have not been able to dedicate much time online.

I do apologize for this and ask that you be patient just a little while longer for the two new games starting up as I have to get caught up on work after being away.

I'll be posting an update for Prophecy in the morning.

It's been a rough few weeks.

 it is ok


 Sends her hugs*

 take your time

And the GM is waiting on you Asurii, you're up in the initiative order. :)
This message was last edited by the player at 18:30, Wed 04 Mar 2009.

Thanks Derval.  I'm probably looking at Monday before I can seriously look at the new games. For those characters that have been approved and finalized, I'll get the track going then.

Is any of the enemy close enough to thrown a spear at

ok sounds good to me

What new games? *blinks*

Two new games  one with first level characters in Tanchico.  One of 7th level in the Blight.  Games are lested in Game menu near the top.

Yes, within the 2nd range increment roughly about 30 ft.

One at 9th level in the Blight actually...but yes two new games that are taking awhile for me to get set up as life has been a bit too occupied with reality of late.  :(

Asurii sets a spear ready to throw and waits until one of the men comes up from cover and...she throws.

Could you move that to the in-game thread please Asurii and make the appropriate rolls.

Hello? Did everyone fall asleep?

Asurii reacted.  Waiting for DM

I am waiting too.  In process of healing Marissa enough to get her up to heal herself while I fight.

Cool. RL must got its hooks in the GM.

Real Life did and it is starting to really tick me off.  I'm still around but online time has been hampered.  I hope to updates tomorrow, maybe later tonight if I hit this deadline early.

good your back

It is cool. Real life is kicking my ass too. Still no job.

Everyone should have mail from me regarding their characters for the Blight Game.  Information on Stonebridge will be posted Monday and a similar set of mails will go out then for the Tanchico game.

I will have limited access for the weekend as I will be fairly busy and not home often.  My girlfriend's children are having a joint party that is taking up Sunday and I am running an event Saturday.

Thank you all for your patience these last couple of months, for your patience you shall be rewarded.

No worries.

I'm still waiting on a few replies for the Blight game.  However, I am attending a Con this weekend so there will be no posting after about noon tomorrow for about three days.

Cool. I did not get any emails from ya though....but again....I am sticking with this game for now.

Which Con? Running any games there, or playing in any?

I am running seven events over eight slots of a possible nine slots during the weekend.  All Battletech.  My buddy is running two Shadowrun.  I may or may not attend a couple events to play depending on attendance for my own events.

Cool. Haven't been to a CON since the one we threw in college at University of Toledo. A lot of work, but a lot of fun.

Battletech????? *wines painfully* I have not played in a long time. Over 12 yrs even. I can't find anyone that plays here. And that Mech Clix bullshit is just that....BS. Should never have done it. The clix part is a good consept but I freakin hated the random bs you get. I like to pick and choose my mechs. Probably why it did not go over so well.

Have you looked at MegaMek Taren?

Picked up a bug at the Con that hit me pretty hard after 45 hours of running events out of the 55 hours I was at the Con.  Only had 2 hours of sleep during the remaining 10.

But it was fun nonetheless.

So what's happening with the Blight PCs, still waiting on a couple of PMs from players to finalize characters.  The Tanchico game will get priority to get it started over the next week.

 cool. blight seems to go well I am only where there right now

I am here is the person of Jacinda.  Waiting for the game to begin.  One questions did you get a character from Asurii for Blight.  She was sure she sent one in but has gotten nothing from you about her charcter.
This message was last edited by the player at 22:35, Wed 08 Apr 2009.

I don't have access to either game ;(

Niether do I. But not sure if I can at this moment. I may pick up the game. Tanchico seems more interesting. The Blight, not so sure. Anyways....game on?

I received a character from Asurri and everyone had responses in PM.  I've been waiting on those responses.  I'll take a look and see if something happened...occasionally the flags for a new message don't activate.

The Tanchico game is on a temporary hold as there has been a huge shake-up at work and I had to spend the last week securing my job and taking on new responsibilities.

My apologies to all.  I don't know what happened.  I am sure I posted PMs but none appear to have taken so I don't know if Rpol's last crash wiped them or I was hallucinating in a fever dream or some such.

Replies have been made though most are short as I need to find my paper notes and post tomorrow.  Game night is tonight for the first time in awhile and I need to seriously get my slay on. ;-)

Taren, a spot remains open for you in either game.

Cool. Tanchico sounds like fun. And the Blight, I may give it a try. Anything to help pass the time away and forget that real life is a seriouse bitch right now.

More stuff came up with work.  I'm not sure I will get all the updates out today.

Just wanted to give you all a heads up.

No worries....unfortunately....Real life is a demanding bitch and demands she comes first.....so....understandable.

we will be right here.

Getting some posts and answers out now...but will be going for a small trip over the remainder of the weekend with my girlfriend so I will likely not be posting until Tuesday unless we come back early.

Cool.

Hey...just a heads up.....I am moving in like the next 24 hrs....so I may vanish from the internet for a few days till I get resetled in my new place. Soon as I can find one. Oh,  just so you know, my move is a forced move but extremely necessary as well.

Hope it all works well. I guess this is not a job relocation.

I hope all goes well with your move.

well, hopefully when I relocate, I can find a job easier.

Good luck Taren.

Chaos, confusion and life has taken a radical left turn.

I apologize for the disappearance, certain personal and job related issues came up and it's taken over a week to sort.  Every time I thought about getting on here to post something else came up.

Even sleep has been in short supply.  This weekend is going to be something of a bust for posting as well but should resolve the last major problem that can be solved.

As in other games, I have posted to the current active threads to move them along, however, no posts will be likely coming until monday after this.

Ahm I shall cultivate Patience.

My life just went south. I got railroaded by the DHS Child Welfare and lost my kids to my ex. My life is now barely worth living. Only goal I have is to get my kids back.

It's a good goal to have. How goes the job hunt? For the short term, will your children be better with your ex? Does she or he have a stable home?

Was your ex trying to get them before, or did Child Welfare approach your ex rather than put children in a foster home?

Sorry to hear about your pain Taren. Sounds like you have an excellent goal and I wish you luck while you move in that direction.




I'm still here. I hope all goes well with you too dark one

Sorry to hear the Taren.

Actually....job and house huntin is shitty. The kids are not better with the ex than with me as she never wanted them. She just don't want to play child support. As for DHS....I don't know...but what they did to me and the lies they sent my way, this was planned months in advance. Long before DHS got involved with me.

Not under normal circumstances but sounds like things have gotten tough. Having dealt with lots of children that have been yanked into DCF, they are usually better with a family member.

I hope the lies are something you can disprove. I'm guessing the lies came form your ex wife, and that she called DHS?

Wondering where Addaru is as well. :(

I got wrapped up in several personal issues that needed to be dealt with, some of which were medical in nature and ongoing.  It has not been a very good month so far and I am being tested for cancer again.

Between that and a crunch at work, the last two weeks disappeared.

The game will likely be slow for a bit but I am committed to seeing all three of them through.  I will be online over the weekend but likely not often as I need some personal time to sort things out.

Welcome back. Hope things get better

We wish you the very best on your tests.  Take care we will be hear at whatever pace you can manage.

The lies they are saying was that they said they would help me. All they did was put my ass in a shelter where they can keep me till they can finish up with the final touches. They made me feel like a piece of shit. Anyways.....life is hell right now.

Not gonna be able to post regularly as my brother's puter crashed. Which sucks ass.

Yeah! Were going again

Moving the game forward slowly. Not sure where Addaru was headed with it. hope he will be back soon.

WQe are still here too.

I'm back.  My apologies for disappearing, my throat violently metatasized a few weeks ago and things got really ugly.  They've re-evaluated what is going on with my throat and the prognosis is not great.

Combined with a few other things that occurred, fighting with insurance to get them to cover damages done to our condo when it was hit by a car, my own car being vandalized and several funerals in short order, the last several weeks have quite literally been hell.

I know I originally planned to launch two new games but in light of recent events I am reevaluating my priorities.  I've pulled out of most of the games I play in and am considering whether or not to pull out in the last few.

I've ended two of the games I GM'd and may consider dropping a third. However, I did say I was dedicated to this one and plan to remain with it though going will be slow and if I disappear again I am likely in the hospital as things with my throat are still not stabilized.

They're pretty sure I am going to lose my voice in the next two years and that is just for starters.

I believe I mentioned putting the Tanchico game on hold in May.  I am going to keep it on hold for now.  My apologies to those players.

I am going to see what Marissa has done so far with the battle and what has moved forward.  I'll get posts out for that shortly.  The Blight Game will move forward but slowly, posts to be dealt with after the long weekend as I need to get my house in order.

Certain tweaks still need to be made to some Blight characters but I will deal with that over the next week.

The Blight game has been fully launched.

Ashanmai was not mentioned with the first two, J & J, do I assusme that it is Ashanmai doing some scouting from the rock?

Yes, that is where you are...let me edit the post.

You have not yet met J & J.

So what am I looking at?

Read the first post in The Heat of the Blight Ashanmai.  There is a PM.

How about a protrait Ashanmani.  By the way my description is up just click on the portrait.

Welcome back. Wish your absence had been for less dire reasons.

DM, I will keep you in my prayers, as well as those treating you.

Me too Marissa.  Thanks for the welcome back.

Thanks Raiel.

Even though descriptions may be up under the portrait, I would still like a description of what is seen when you appear in the thread please.

Ok  portrait up, not exactly what I wanted but I am looking for one and will have to submit it for approval.

Sorry for delay folks. Life went to hell for me again. But I am still alive. I will return as soon as I get my ass back together.

Hello all. is every one still out there?

Yes we are Raiel and Asurii.

This message was deleted by the player at 15:55, Thu 10 Sept 2009.

Still here

 same

Yes for Marissa and Da'nal

I am still around. Missing my kids very badly, an emotional wreck lookin for a place to crash, but still alive.

No I am not dead though it was a close thing at one point.  More details to come next week as I will be back home then and have an entire week to sort things out.

That said, expect a huge push and I will try to get something out even before then.

I hate when life turns ugly.

Still sending you our prayers and Light.  I figured that things had gotten rough when we went so long in hearing from you.  Our best wishes for youe wellness.

Glad you are back.

Yeah...life is really ugly for me right now. But I is hangin in there.

Emergency surgery was required and recovery was not what was expected.  It's going to take me awhile to get my head back in line with what I was doing in each game.

Raiel, as mentioned in the PM, I screwed up in my description.  The noise is coming from deeper within the complex, through the arch.  You may want to adjust your post to reflect this and take appropriate actions as such.

 Take the time we want you well.

Yep. A well GM is a good GM.

I need a response from Ashanmai Daien in the appropriate thread please.

How close is Asurii to the Trolloc

Close enough to smell his gasseouse ars??? *ducks*

Thirty feet.

 Duck--I should say so.  Goose.

*chases Assurii around the group of sitting people*

Slides into your empty place leaving you to tag the next goose.

Hmmm...

Hey...still alive all. Not forgotten you either. Hopefully I can return soon. Depends on if I get this job or not. Thanks for your patience.

Here's rooting for you, I hope you get it.

Anybody know how Shaman is??

Good news. Got the job. Finally! Anyways. still no place of own. Staying with friends and since no room for my puter, using their's. So. Just checking in.

Congratulation!! Great to hear that you finally got that job  It is a big start to getting things back.

Congrats. Glad things are turning around.

 Asking again about Shaman--or can someone else pick up DM position?  I would hate to she this game die.

It better not die. I wanna play more.

Marissa ran it before for a bit--maybe we can sweet talk her.

Addaru's player wanted to DM so was going to take a break after years of running it. He contacted the site admin and had himself made the primary GM, which I didn't say he could do.

I've emailed jase, the site admin several times with no response to have it corrected. More than a little miffed over it.

I'll play in the games, but not going to take it over. I've no idea where the GM was headed with the storylines.

Neither do I, I can not equate what is happening in our current situation as to the books.

I would rather not DM as I already do so elsewhere on another site, but I will not let this game die.

I forgot.

No, I'm not dead but it came really close.  I've been in the hospital for nearly three months with no way to really let anyone know here.  It was a pretty nasty car accident and two of my friends died in it.

Combined with several other deaths of friends and family, thirteen in less than three months, I spiraled pretty hard and to be bluntly honest combined with the loss of work and other personal issues have been in a pretty dark place.

I've been released and am rehab'ing at the moment.

But I have had to take a good hard look at a number of things, one of them is RPol and the time I am going to have.  I'm killing almost all of my games either as a GM or as a player.

I had grand plans for this one and still do but I'm going to have to be honest here, the three games I was planning on running are not going to happen.  I'm struggling with just having an interest in daily things at the moment and dealing with finding new work.

Here is what I would like to do presuming you're willing to wait another couple of weeks.

I plan to put the two new games on hiatus indefinitely but the original game I will resume at the beginning of March, I will likely par down my original plans as I want to see this game through to the end.

It is your call on if this is acceptable, otherwise I'll turn the game and my notes over to Marissa.
