Re: decision time

I will wait until he announces that he isn't going to continue. I would assume that he'd let us know when he considers himself ready to pick up. Not to suggest that your offer isn't kind, or to sound petulant, but I have had to wait for other DMs before, and have no problem with patience.

Re: decision time

Well that's kind of why I'm asking...  I really don't want to go into details, but he had the chance to mention something if he wasn't going to stick around, but he didn't.  And he doesn't seem to be the kind to leave his players hanging if he's just going on hiatus.  Therefore, the other head DMs and I are puzzled.

Anyway, you're more than welcome to wait.  I wouldn't be able to start anything very soon anyway, I was just trying to plan.  I'm in no shape to run battles, but my planning and organizing skills haven't fled under these meds.

Re: decision time

Sorry all

This has to be my fault.

Every ROA group I have joined has had a GM go missing. I should be level 8 by now and have had to fight to get to 4!

This is the 3rd GM to disappear on me here? Apparently the 4th

You can understand why I am bitter about people who get to level 7 in ROA, as likely they've been here half the time but not had GMs disappear every 2 minutes! :P

Re: decision time

PS. I'm ready to leave - Penville is indeed a doomed character!
And if I leave, maybe he'll come back! :)

Re: decision time

Happy to wait for quite a while longer.

But...  Penville...  Careful which region you join next.  If you make DM Windwalker disappear, I'll be coming after you with a bucket of hot sand and a feather-duster.

Re: decision time

When I said Penville was cursed, I meant IC not OOC!!!

sadly, a legacy is born!

I just want to play and level without the DMs all disappearing! :(

Aw.  :)  Thank you, Lyssander.  I needed to hear something like that today.  :)

The good news is, short of death, I have no intentions of ever leaving RPoL or RoA.  They are my home away from home.  Plus, I met DM Annihilator on RPoL, so it will always have special meaning for me.

As far as Penville goes, I don't have an opening in my two current regions that he would really fit it.  But I'll definitely keep the character in mind for a third when I do either take something over or start something up.

And don't worry about the level disparagies.  I know it doesn't seem fair.  Here are my recommendations:  (1) Try to get one of the reliable DMs who have been here forever.  BCM is the best for consistency, absolutely.  (2) Try to hop into a region with a lot of DMs as players in that region.  Usually a region with a lot of DMs tends to last longer and posting is more consistent.  Plus, because they'll be higher level, you'll actually get to level faster than normal.  (3) Become a reliable, consistent DM in RoA yourself.  We have benefits for doing so, plus we host lots of virtual pizza and toga parties in the DM's Lounge...  :p  Being an RoA DM is rewarding and fulfilling, plus we've got a great community of DMs.  Also, being a DM will allow you to help shape RoA.  We're always looking for new ideas and help on any number of things.  /end recruiting speech   *giggles*

Re: decision time

I've apparently found another group (I work fast, the curse must continue!)

As for GMing, I don't want to here as I can't commit at the moment. Plus my game is sludging along, Has been for about 3-4 years! :)

Re: decision time

Then go, my child, and slay the heck out of some big bad evil guys and monsters for me.  :p

That is understandable.  Just keep it in mind if you ever find the time, inclination, and dedication.

Re: decision time

No problem, you didn't seem so sure when it started and I've spent about 2 years waiting around on ROA (might be an over or under exhaggeration) so ready to move! :)

Thanks though, and if everyone rejects me, I'll be back! :)

Re: decision time

Honestly, the situation on RoA when it comes to DMs that last is only slightly better than in the rest of RPoL. But hey, at least you don't have to rebuild every time, right?

You probably had a pretty good run with Lobo here anyway.

However, I haven't seen any pizza or toga parties, unless there's something someone's not telling me? ;)

Re: decision time

That is very true.  I've not been lucky enough to find games that last beyond a few months or so except on RoA.  My most consistent DM anywhere has been BCM, and Anni was very close to that until he started college.  That's been eating up a lot of his time and creativity, understandably.

*giggles*  It has been awhile since the last party, but I've been too sick to host anything.  :p  I do have a birthday coming up, though.  We'll have to celebrate in style.  :D

Re: decision time

Right.

My weird halfling is moving to the same ROA as my paladin! I'm thinking I won't get them confused! :)

So I can copy the sheet - NO DELETING PLEASE! :)

Plus this seems a good group to chat with anyways.

parties are good.

Re: decision time

Does anyone mind I use the people here in my tales of woe with the other group?

Basically Penville thinks you're all dead. Whether you are or not, he's wandered off. Dead people chat less.

But I thought it could be fun incase anyone in ROA 1 either knows you or comes to meet you one day (just incase?!) :)

Re: decision time

We found Lobo and invited him to return, but he chose not to respond. So we'll begin looking for a new DM for Thesk.

Our apologies for this.

Re: decision time

And Lyssander, as well, heads for the great blue yonder.

A little tidying-up before I go, though.  My notes reflect the following treasure, unaccounted for:

*  Two bags of coin from Talrylil's hirers (a little over 400 coins, described thus: "The coins are not only a mix of silver and gold, but also a mix of mintings and stamps").

*  Magical items lifted by Lyssander from the attackers in the orchard:  "one light crossbow on the north sniper, one purse [not the contents - just the purse] on the second sniper, and a belt and potion on the lieutenant"

Kind, merciful, all-knowing, all-wise DMs, could you please allocate this treasure among the relevant team-members?  (Presumably Talrylil, Penville, William and Lyssander, being the PCs present at the orchard fight)

I do not know anything about the magical items beyond the description above, so I guess we either ignore them or roll randomly to see what they might be, unless the DMs find some indication somewhere of what DM Lobo intended them to be.

Re: decision time

Alright. Thanks for letting us know here.

Okay, I'll try to remember to go over the treasure some time, when I have such time. :p
