It looks as if there are only two players left.

And, since I seem to be struggling to GM all my games, I think it may be time to pull the plug on this game.

The premise seemed to interest people... or maybe it was just the game itself that people wanted to play.

Whatever the case, I had a dozen or so people sign up for the game, but then they all just started dropping out. So, maybe it was just my ability to run the game that was lacking.

Anyway, as per the site's rules, I need to make sure everyone knows I'm ending the game. Unless something changes between now and then, I plan on deleting the game in two weeks... Sunday, July 22, 2018.

Ok, sad though it may be, at least I got a chance to play v2 a bit. :)

I just got a new player that wanted to join, so I guess this game isn't quite dead yet.

How about a rolecall to see who is still here and wants to continue?

In reply to Dread Pirate Robert (msg # 341):

Still here

Also still here

Just waiting for someone else to post now...

Oh, waiting on me?

Maybe, if you have a ship?

Not that I'm aware of.
Still in char gen as far as I know.

Nobody's posted in this game now for over a month.

On the off-chance that I fumbled the ball (again) and people are waiting for me to say or do something, I'm putting up this post.

If there's no longer any interest in this game, then I'll delete it in two weeks.

I don't think you fumbled. I believe I was waiting for the others to respond to either of the revelations (by the Captain or the shop owner), since I'd already commented.

If I'm the only one here, then, as sad as it is, it is not much fun to play by myself. :(

Oddly, I just got a request to join from a new player, so if you want to continue (and assuming he follows through), then I can keep it going.

Don’t worry. I will follow through lol. Just gotta fill out the character sheet now. May I ask what kind of characters are present currently to see if I can try to tie in my character to something. I would also like to know the context of the game right now since I wasn’t around for the beginning (high seas, port towns, cities, forests, current organizations the characters are involved with, etc)

The story thus far:

A report from a member of the Explorer's Society mentioned a sailor in Wandesburrow had tried to pawn a black pearl. This drew speculation that this was the legendary Black Pearl... a Syrne artifact.

The Society assembled a group of Seekers to try and find it. It wasn't long after that all the nations in the area put out a reward of one million guilders for the pearl.

A ship sailed from Crieux for Wandesburrow. The Seekers learned that the sailor had shipped out on another ship, so they were soon in pursuit.

They put in at DeChane to see if the ship they were pursuing had stopped here. A pirate ship appeared and sunk the Seekers' ship. Two of the Seekers encountered the Beast of DeChane.

There is some evidence that someone out there doesn't want the Seekers to succeed.

So we need a ship it would seem. Is the majority of players a part of the Seekers or have we just been hired by them? I know this may seem a little meta, but how prevalent are monsters in your campaign? I plan on playing a character from Eisen with membership with Die Kreuzritter.

There probably aren't many monsters. The Beast of DeChane was actually mentioned in the books somewhere, but no details were ever given.

Most of the 'monsters' will be villains. The flavor of the game was never meant to be a monster-hunting game. At the same time, however, I'm sure we've all seen maps that had the label 'Here be monsters' on it.


Valentino has a ship.

The original subplot was that all the PCs were either members of the Explorer's Society (or might have been hired by them for some specialty) or were members of the ship's crew. Since there were originally 16 players, that seemed a practical way to keep two groups of lesser number. Alas, that fell apart rather quickly.

Does anyone have the Nations of Théah Volume 2 book? Just wanted to check if there was some Eisen stuff in it that would be good.

I do.

There is additional stuff for Hexenwork (including a path that is, basically, the traveler's path, where they deal more with monsters rather than undead).

There's also a new duelest style: Kummerholt. Uses paired "small blades" (daggers, dirks, short swords, or even jagged pieces of shrapnel or the remnants of a broken sword). And the style bonus is "Death Knell", once per scene and does Weap + Raises + opponent's Str (or highest trait) in unavoidable wounds.

For backgrounds they added Apostat (to support the new Hexen thing), Befleckte Seele (basically monster blooded), Eisenblut (an Eisen noble), and Stratege (strategist/mastermind)

Would you mind messaging me those backgrounds? They sound interesting.

Finished character sheet. Now just waiting for GM approval on it.

GM question: is the new ship that my character arrived on big enough to carry the crocodile creature but small enough to go further up river?

The ship is large enough to carry the creature. The creature is only slightly large than a man.

The ship could go up a river depending on the river, but there is no river in DeChane.

Y’all still alive out there?

Waiting on a response from the shop keeper.

Sorry. Just had a bad week. When I have the time, I tend to fall asleep. When I'm not falling asleep, I don't have the time!
