I will buy it when full game is ready, heard only the first chapter is playable now.

I am also hoping that warlock will get to be hexblade with full game.

Of course the first week back we move so the internet has been bad. And we move locations at work getting the internet down there too. I should be able to post tomorrow. Maybe tonight.

I will not likely be around for a while due to a death in the family.

I am sorry my thoughts and prayers to you and your family.

In reply to Anders Greyven (msg # 196):

My condolences.

Thoughts are with you my friend

Still having internet issues?

Oh man, yes, deal with that. Take care of yourself, your family, your friends.

I'll get one more post out today in a bit. One of those most humorous things that happens in these games is that making a decision always takes some doing.

I need to be honest with you guys. I have lost my creative drive and ambition for the game. Yes, last week was an Internet issue, but that was just an excuse I was using to keep pushing this off. I will not delete the game, and maybe I will pick it up again in the future. But right now I have no drive or desire to keep this going. Getting on to post has become a chore, rather than something I look forward to. I have loved the story and game we have created, and my lack of desire to play has nothing to do with any of you. Honestly, many of these stories we have made will go down as war stories I will tell for years to come with my buddies. I hope you understand and again I am sorry.

To those that have been with me from day one. Thank you.

To those that joined midway, thank you.

To those that just joined and got the worst of me, I am sorry and thank you.

Thanks for letting us know.

Hope you find the spark again someday.

I am only a recent beginner in this campaign, but I can say that in the short time I was playing I thoroughly enjoyed both it and tbe other characters/players.

If any of you run a d&d 5.0 game and need a player, look me up....I will gladly apply

Until then, good luck to all, and if this game restarts, I will see you all again

I am definitely sorry to hear that. I have enjoyed the game.

Everyone take care of yourselves.

Thanks for giving me the chance to take a well-needed break.

I am thinking of bringing this back.

Only, with one big change, and a story change.

1. Signature Items become legendary items. I know this sounds petty of me but remembering and thinking of ways to build up the signature items stress me out. Also, I feel like there are some that knock the balance of the game totally out of wack.

2. We are going to skip forward in time and to a new area, I want to do this to do a small "fresh" start reset.

What do you think?

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 206):

I'd be game to start up again (pardon the pun).

As for point 2, I suppose that's fine as long as there's some sort of link I guess.  I assume that we'd still be whatever level we were (4 if I remember right)?  I know there's a bit of cleanup from the hags to deal with still as well.

For point 1, I guess can you maybe be a bit more descriptive?  Are we losing them, are you simply stopping their powers at what they are now, are you changing them?  Just wanted to make sure I understand is all.

I would love to come back as well.

I would love to play as some other class if you'd allow other than sora (but can sort that out once we have stock of who returns,etc)

In reply to Fenrick (Fen) Uther (msg # 207)

Yes, the jump will be completely linked and we will have a travel montage.

To keep it fair and simple. You will keep the items. There will be no additions to them, and new players will just get a legendary item.

In reply to Dungeon Master (msg # 209):

Sounds good, thanks.

...and if your short of players, there are a few in my game that may join

I'm glad you were able to take the break as well and I'm very glad that you were able to come back. Hopefully whole and hearty.

Count me back in as well.

Welcome back. I hope you are well and things are better for you. This year has not been kind.

I would be happy to play Anders, or make a new character if needed. I am fine with whatever you need to do with the signature items as that is not the main reason I'm here but they are cool. =)

Well, I’m fired up and have some great ideas and plans. I wanna apologize if it feels like whip lash. Lol, he is the plan.

1. Get those who wanna play back. If we get at least four OG characters I say we play. You all are strong committed players we don’t need fresh blood, unless any of you really want some. I think at this time is a great time to switch characters if you want. I know one player will be switching. Sora will be making a cleric of some sort to feel that gap.

1.1 It’s official after taking to players, and my buddies not in this game. I think for the fun and health of the game signature items will be replaced with legendary items or artifacts they can be chosen from any of the source books. Ultimately I think this will be better for the game. There was one weapon I made for a player that was WAY to much. Lol.

The items may be chosen make them within reason and of course upon approval. We may do a incremental increase in power such as the Sword of Kas Which is a +6 or +10 depending. Something like that would grow in power as you grew in power.

2. I’ll make a Hag wrap up post. Who got what treasure. And how the Keep reacts to you now after being heroes. There is more then treasure in store a boon from the Keeps Castellan is on its way.

3. A summary post of all that’s happened. With detailed options of where the adventure could go. I have three paths set up. Of course I want you all to talk and decided.

4. Begin the next adventure and start the next chapter. I foresee this next chapter having a real fun journey travel section. A dungeon of some sort. Weird  crazy bad guys to kill. More lore. And everyone’s favorite magic items and loot.

I would love to get to the fourth step in this list by Monday so we can start adventuring again by next week.

I hope you all are okay with this direction. I really think doing this will make the game more fun and set us in the right direction.

Sounds good.  I'd prefer to keep Fenrick going but willing to swap out if needed.

As for new blood, either way is fine, but I wouldn't want to go more than 6. I suppose it depends on what everyone wanted to play to make sure we have the big 4 covered (Fighter, mage, cleric, rogue or equivalents)

PM'd you about potential replacements for my special item.

Otherwise, all sounds good.

If fen keeps his fighter, Anders stays wizard and Aleksandr keeps the rogue, and I make a healer type, we will have a well rounded team, but if new blood is needed, I agree that maybe one or two more to a max of 6.

GM: I'll send a concept of a healer over in the next day or two to get things rolling on the healer end

I think I'll stick with my mostly rogue, Alekos (Alksandr is such a good name though...).

I'll have to peruse the resources to see what to get in place of my signature item. Hmmm. Expect a PM by EOD, GM (:

Edit: Okay, looking at some of these is already inspiring ideas for other characters... So I'm 60% sure I will stick with Alekos...
