The Tome of Absences

Hey everyone, I know it's a bad way to start a game, but I've got a bit of work far out of town in the boonies. I'll try to post during the week if possible, but more likely will be only once. I'll hopefully finish it up the following week if my client doesn't add more on. ;-) Anyway, I'll be much more active and timely once this job is completed. Looking forward to this game!

This week, I have to travel a bit unexpectedly and am expecting a hectic trip. I expect to update 1-2 times this week; I just don't know which days in particular.

Will be camping this week with little access to the internet.  Feel free to NPC me as necessary.  Should be back up next Saturday evening sometime.

Back from camping-it was HOT. Most days in the mid to high 90's.

Will read, get caught up and post.

Cheers!

The end of this week is going to be more than a touch hectic; the next likely update from me will be on Monday.

I'll be on the road job and house hunting for the next two weeks in Idaho, Montana and Wyoming. Bringing my laptop with me, but who knows where/if wi-fi will happen. NPC as needed. I'll try to keep up.

Been crazy. Sorry I haven't been available. Apparently moving to Eastern Elbonia means not having internet... at least not very promptly. I'll be a little slow for another week or two.

Congrats!  If this is a d10 does that mean there has already been a d4, d6 and d8?

Thank you everyone!

A little girl, perfect and cute. My wife is well and we're all home now for the holiday.

@Killian - My last child was d10-1, so I'll let you do the math. (hint: yes, I've got ten kids now, officially in the double digits club!)

My Dad was one of nine, so I have some sense of the happy chaos you must have in your home.

So many questions, none that I dare to ask...

My wife was oldest of 8 and my mom was younger in a pack of 8. I'm a convert to the big family idea, but it's certainly awesome!

As for questions, I assume you are wondering: All from the same mom, my wife, my first and only, all on purpose.

;-) I suppose that's one more thing that makes me odd it this strange world of today...

Sorry to be so quiet of late. Been crazy busy and working on very little sleep. Wife's been having some health issues that we've been trying to take care of on our own so as to avoid the hospital situation. I'm still around, and hope to jump back into the action soon. Thanks for being patient.

FYI, my father passed away this morning. My posting will be sporadic at best the next few days while we figure out how to deal with this given the current state of this damn shut down.

Sorry for being so quiet, I've been falling asleep after long days of work, often at the computer before getting off a post. You're all doing great! I believe I'll be more frequent now that I'm back to daytime.

Re: The Tome of Absences

Glad to hear things are calming a bit, Patch.

I’d also echo Patch’s praise for the adventurers. There have been several points where the temple break-in could have rapidly gone south, but the company has managed to handle every obstacle effectively. Well done!

Re: The Tome of Absences

FYI - We were finally were able to have my dad's memorial and celebration of life today. And tomorrow morning my wife and I are heading out for vacation for the week. Best case, I might be able to post 1/day late night, but chances are I might not be around until Friday.
