I know Ari has felt like that, Jade.   Some days, especially after hectic Hollywood meetings and dealing with press, she takes her motorcycle out on the highways, anonymous in her helmet, and rides out into the desert

Jade loves people but SO MANY people on Earth, Jade would eventually feel that way.

Don't worry, Ari would know wuere to go to let Jade enjoy some peace and quiet. :)

I agree with you both of you!  I know that feeling.
And Jon, definitely knows that feeling, he had a whole Oasis that he would retreat to.

You were so right to say that Jade would be amused by the mustached man.
In Rebma facial hair for men isn't a thing. (Not withstanding that invasion by Poseidon a few centuries back.

I imagine the mustache looking like this.

Or perhaps this one

I'm thinking more like the first pic

Yeah, I kind of thought it might be a long and curled mustache.

Happy 4th

Enjoy the holiday, everyone.   :)

I'm a little proud of myself. I've always thought of myself as being the kind of GM who was mostly for dungeoneering, secret missions, spooky woods, and combat combat combat. But I'm pleased at how "the PCs attend a diplomatic dinner party" is turning out to be interesting enough (for my own standards, anyway). I never thought that was the sort of thing I'd be capable of handling this well.

Your doing great !

Amber has always been one of the more challenging games, for players and gms, because of the level of detail, and the extensive Roleplaying.
This game has been exceptional so far

Welp, let me know if anyone needs anything responded to or adjudicated

Indeed, GM, you have been great! I am enjoying the story.
RL has been "interesting" lately and so, I apologize for my lack-luster performance.

Jade and Ari an killing it in the thread as well.

In reply to Jon (msg # 943):

Thank you, Jon!   :)
I was worried that I'd run out of conversation, but the NPCs have been very entertaining

Were glad to still have you with us Jon and Jade is pretty easily amused as well as being social so she is enjoying herself.

I think it is a version of, I have been a heel. Though not positive.

That crossed my mind as well...

It was an autocorrect.  Meant to write boor, but boot works!

Ohhhhhh yeah...

I like it... but... why is there a bird on Julian's head? Anyone? Anyone? 'Cause I sure don't know. (Ironically, that joke is flying over my head.)

Julian has hunting hawks, I think that is a comical representation.

Ohhhhh yeah, that's right-- those gauntlets of his also serve as falconing gloves. Okay, I think you've hit on the correct answer, thanks
