Anyone fancy going rat hunting?

Instead, maybe us familiars should organise an expedition to the Big Rubble.  We could slip in, save Delenda, and slip out again without anyone noticing.

In reply to Haaro (msg # 59):

One of you lot will have to carry me. As long as there'll be rats to eat, I'll come.

I'm ignoring you on purpose!

You're quite safe, I only eat dumb rats. Come closer so I can give you a hug to show you I care.

Looks up with a weary eye from where he was sleeping. "Hmmm....whut? Buggrit Millenium hand and shrimp"

"t-wit'

Two-who?

Shall we do so in a PM for Greg during the hiatus of our beloved GM? PM as we'll not then impact on the post limit on this thread. I propose we discuss swearing harmony in order to tap into Issaries' ability to allow us a use of Becx's "levitation" to equalise our Mv. rates on condition no-one eats anyone else (on pain of the Levitation going haywire and dumping the malefactor head-down in a fuller's bucket until fatally and permanently drowned in wee). Premise: Issaries approaches us in our dreams and offers us a POW increase roll (GM to confirm or disconfirm for the real game) if we save a favoured grain merchant from a problem.

Snakes and anyone else has RQ2 rulebook stats rolled for ourselves. Manul cats and others treated like their nearest equivalents with proper HP e.g. Shadow Cats. Rolled for ourselves. Not translated to the real game. Rats like rubble runners (no offence) but less bite damage as no "flip-top head". Whole thing like a dreamquest. Off the cuff idea, not clear on mechanics yet. Initial thought is we have the same number of enemies as us, ability to tap into our binders' spells, and so forth. Abort the whole thing if GM returns to activity while the game is afoot as that will be ipso facto more interesting.

Freeform scenario but in combat we roll dice for ourselves and the enemy. Death = minus one permanent POW to stuff the dream self back into the real body. Any takers on the concept?

If enough of us like the idea, I'll set up the PM and set a scene but am not volunteering to be an ersatz GM. I have neither time nor robustness for that sort of responsibility. Collective storytelling with some dice is the basic idea here.

I'd be happy to take part in that  :)

Me too

And me

I'm going to leave this here a few days. Know many of us aren't checking in regularly so not everyone might have noticed yet. I'll do a PM planning thread sometime next week.

Woo hoo!

Well. This year has radically sucked, but I'm still breathing and life is improving.

I wish you all a very merry christmas/winter solstice/ whatever you celebrate.

Take care everyone

Sorry to hear that Amara.  Hope next year is better for you.
Life for me this past year has been just too busy (as with last year).  I had hoped to reply on the PM story that Hoskar was suggesting but got too busy, and now I'm at the office even though we officially closed for Christmas on Friday.

Hope everyone has a Merry Christmas and a Happy New Year, and hopefully we'll pick up the game again when everyone's ready.

I'm glad that life is improving for you Amara,
Kobal, I hope you that you manage to get some time off over christmas.
Happy Christmas everyone, hope it's a good one.

Happy Sacred Season everyone.

Merry Christmas and happy New Years all round, and I hope to be back with you all some time.

(Belated) Happy Holidays and New Year everyone.

Hope 2020 is a better year for all.

Terribly sorry, people. Started something as Four Paws that I proved unable to finish. Issues with the old depressive Black Dog plus geriatric parents being in danger of ending up in a home. "The old folks say there's no place like home, but you try putting them in one..." :)

Bless you all. Should the game never restart, I am Ralph Hayward and Melock has me as a friend on fb. Having known and loved* you all please do drop by. You have given me the best of times, and I hope I too have spread some sweetness and light.

*the ancient Greek is so much more precise than English. Agape is the intent.

it's ok about Four Paws's adventure, life does indeed get in the way of these sort of things. I hope your folks are happy wherever they end up.

if anyone wants to add me on facebook, I'm on there as dc rennison.
i agree with Hoskar, this has been a great game and it's been fun gaming with you all.

Don't let it get you down Hoskar, I hope there are other places on the inter-webs where you can get a touch of the RQ medicine.

I'm William O'Neill on Facebook, and I think we may have crossed paths on one of the forum posts. If anybody prefers to go on calling my Temush there, then that's OK too. You should see a friend request from me, if my escalating age is not sufficient bar to technological progress.

That's fine, Hoskar.  IIRC, I had said I was going to post something, but I never got around to it, so I'm the one who should apologise.  The last 2 years have been particularly busy for me.

I hope you and your parents are better now.
I've really enjoyed playing with you all (and hope it'll restart some time).  This game brought me back to role playing after an absence of many, many years.  It's been inspiring to see how creative you all are, which always spurred me to try to lift my own game.

While I've been too busy to join any other PBP game (I'd feel like I was letting down the others if went AWOL for stretches), I have started playing RPGs with friends here in Perth Western Australia (on the odd occasion when we all have the time to meet up).  Not RuneQuest, sadly, since they all mainly play D&D or Pathfinder, but I live in hope of introducing them to RQ sometime...  (they're probably sick of hearing me talk of it.)

I try to avoid social media, so apologies that I don't friend any of you online.  For the same privacy reasons, I prefer not to post my name online, but am happy do so if anyone asks via direct message  :P

Yup, this game has been special. Hopefully when Gm is ready it'll be picked up again, but it has been truly superb to play with you all.

I don't use facebook and in fact my userid on rpol is a "nom du ruse" to avoid people from my past.

However, you can call me Cat :-)
