I wasn't sure I was going to go, but it looks like things came together for me at the last moment...  I am going out of town in a few hours to photograph cosplay at a nearby fan-convention this weekend.  I'll be mostly offline til Tuesday.  I may be able to hop on, but I expect posting to be sparse--from my phone--at the place I'll be staying at.

The only 3 things I miss about Texas are the thunderstorms, the bbq, and chasing ghost crabs on the beach.

Re: [OOC Chat]

Happy New Year!

In honor of the season of renewal and rebirth, I'll let you make any revisions to your former character choices that you'd like. The only restriction, in keeping with Storyteller fashion, is that the changes have to remain within the same statistic group: so you can swap dots in one attribute with dots in another attribute, or dots between two abilities, but not between abilities and backgrounds or attributes. Naturally, this means you can't change your Arete nor Willpower.
You don't have to differentiate between dots you bought with the initial point spread and those you purchased with freebie points or even XP.
You're also free to tweak your paradigm or instruments if you feel the need.

Actually in real combat, most pole-arms and glaives would be super effective. You have a ranged attacked that those with shields have to get around. Now in SCA Combat we do have some stylized versions of combat and our shields are better made than what would have been readily available so shields can get passed pole-arms (spears, glaives or similar) and get to the person who now doesn't have much to defend themselves with.

I tried PMing Vikram, but he seems to have moved on.
I scared Rhapsody off a long time ago when I threw a psychotic demon at her. What can you do?
Julian's character is a friend of mine that I love dearly, but he has trouble sticking to most games for very long before he loses interest.

I should probably remove them from the roster, but I have trouble finding the time to do much game management these days. I'll get around to it eventually.

How's your realtor? A good realtor can make everything easier, but ours was kinda meh. She was friendly and enthusiastic, but she didn't do a very good job listing our house, so. You know. People would come and they'd say, "Wait. This isn't what I was expecting," and then they'd leave.
It totally sucked, but that's probably not the same for everyone. Still, selling the place you live is just a tremendous amount of work and mental pressure, and it never really relents until you either sell or just give up.

Hey, guys!
Just a heads-up: I have a con next weekend for which I need to prepare, so I may not have time to reply this week.

Also, if you're interested in such things, I released a fantasy town in honor of Day of the Dead. You can find the link to it on a hidden page in our website here:
https://www.rpghour.com/holiday-works

again, if you're interested.

Cheers!

Re: [OOC Chat]

Well, that's a funny story. See, I'm in drafting so normally this time of year is pretty laid back. But this year...


Spoiler for [Cue sappy music, screen fade left]: (Highlight or hover over the text to view)

One of our most lucrative clients basically screwed us over on a huge deal, such that we had to let go a lot of people they told us to hire and shut down an entire office. So they're in our bad books just now.
But what with the money issues that brings, the CEO is on a profitability rampage and wants every department to be generating so much revenue--I mean, fair, right? But I work on the technical services side of the org chart, so I'm having to cross-train into "money-generating" projects "or else they'll have to let me go".
But no pressure! lol :)
I mean, I'm a big boy and I've been at this company for nine years, so it's not like I'm worried I can't do the work. But since it's something brand new and they have strict production numbers they want us to hit, it takes a lot of concentration and I'm constantly learning new situations and new provisions. (That's the really fun thing about drafting, savvy? On the surface it's extremely easy, but there are one billion exceptions to every rule, and getting good at drafting--or remote surveying, in this case--is learning how to spot and handle the exceptions and translate them into a consistent report.) So, in a nutshell, I come home pretty darned tired every single night.
And did I mention the initial training they gave us was 45 minutes long? Yyyyyyyeah. This endeavour did not start out rough. At. All.



All that to say, yeah. Work isn't usually this bad, this time of year. But this year, hey. Happy Christmas, amiright?

PS--JIC you didn't feel like putting up with my shit, a totally understandable sentiment I can appreciate 100%, I've included the previous whining session in spoiler text so as to spare anybody that just couldn't care less but are too polite to say so. lol ;)

Happy Christmas / Holidays, folks! Hope the season finds you and yours happy and healthy.

In honour of the holiday, you get two dots in Backgrounds from one or two of the following choices:
  • Allies
  • Contacts
  • Wonder
  • Alternately, Favor from the Merits list

You can split the points between two options or take them both in one, as you like.

Re: [OOC Chat]

Sorry, all, I've been very busy all December. House repairs on top of all the holiday stuff, so work crews and gift buying and a new (to us) dachshund to train and... well. You get the picture.

So, Leoncio, I keep meaning to post a reply and just... failing to do so. Sorry about that! I'll try to get one up later today when I can find a few minutes to rub together. Tarot spreads are fun to do, but they take more concentration than a standard post. :)

And Jon, ... I think the main thread is a bit kaput. That story was Vikram's prologue and he doesn't seem to have logged on in going-on two years now, so other stuff probably came up for him.
As a consequence: if you like, you can keep going with your private thread, I can open a new public thread for you to get a new story going, or you can continue on in the old thread with the present story. Your choice. Before this month, I was trying to make posts here about once a week or so, so it's a slow game for sure but crawling along.
I think I've said it before, but the private prologues I did in this game was an experiment and probably a bad idea. :) Live and learn.

In reply to Jon (msg # 363):

Leoncio moves feeling a pull towards the entry. Opening the door he peers outside and sees a young man outside. Smiling Leoncio nods at him and extends a hand. "I'm Leoncio, you can call me Leo if you wish. Please, come in. I take it by what those around me have indicated that you are here to assist?" says Leoncio smiling and trying to be welcoming. Hearing the young mans reply Leoncio takes him to the great room where the girls are. Giving a round of introductions Leoncio indicates seats and settles in one himself. He explains the paramilitary attack and the events after. Even going as far as to show Jon his devil horns from his botched spell. "All in all," says Leoncio. "These people have really fouled up my weekend. Question is why? I try to stay pretty lowkey. No wizard battles. No grand posturing,...at least non that can not be explained as normal(ish)." A crooked smile on his lips.

Hey, guys. I'm sorry; I've been dreading having to write this post...
So, my bout with unemployment has not been going well and it's coming to a head, which is... you know. Stressful. Suffice it to say, I need to refocus. I think I'm leaving RPoL for good for now, so I'm wrapping up all my games.

What that means for you guys is this: I can delete the game or I can transfer ownership, and I'm willing to go with whatever you guys decide. I'll give it a week or two so you'll have a chance to reply, and then we'll go with the consensus.

I've had oodles of fun playing with each of you, and I wish RL did not, at times, suck. I wish and hope the best for each of you and thank you all for playing with (slash-putting-up-with) me.

I am open to either option though given how few Magic Games are ran and how hard it would be to replace the story you have started I am not sure that transfer of ownership would be feasible.

I wish you luck on finding new work.
