I have a plan...

I'll post tomorrow morning (UK time) when I'm able to get to my computer.. rather than my phone, which is awful for typing more than a line or two.

Got a couple of ideas I'm discussing regarding our new player and his introduction.

Perfect timing, welcome Eyrar

Small edit to last post - if everyone is ready we can move on to Eyar's camp?

Oh, also, everyone make a roll for Water and Food for today..

In reply to Narrator (msg # 157):

i'm ready for Eyrar's camp, in which thread should we post the food and water rolls?

If everyone makes a short post about the journey (which will be uneventful) to his camp and post the rolls there In (OOC:)

Sorry everyone, I know I've been lax lately. I promise I'll get my shit together and post something meaningful soon.

In reply to Narrator (msg # 160):

It's going to get cold, wet and then snowy here quite soon.  Very conducive to RPOL.  Hope all you are doing well.

In reply to Brevis (msg # 161):

Hej everyone!
I hope you are well. I was just wondering if we want to give this adventure som TLC? I have been enjoying it a lot! :-)

I'll post tomorrow-ish...

I might see if I can get a couple of people to take over the NPCs..

Might have a player to take over one of the NPCs..

Okay, I have one new player, possibly two.

Hopefully will be able to get them up to speed and in the game soon. Thanks for your patience everyone.

Hi all

Just wanted jump in quickly and introduce myself I'll be playing Alachran the orc :)

In reply to Alachran (msg # 166):

Hello!  Before we talk about our current mission, may I ask if you have any qualms regarding fratricide?

In reply to Brevis (msg # 167):

no problems there's been a few times over the years my brother nearly didn't make it to his next birthday lol

but seriously no issues as long as it is used to define a character or push the game forward without being overtly in your face of course.

In reply to Alachran (msg # 168):

"We're going on an Orc hunt, we're going on an Orc hunt.  Gonna catch a big one, gonna catch a big one"

Just joking around since I wasn't sure how much of the backstory you've been able to read.
 We're welcoming you to the group as an orc on an orc hunt!  Slavers have been treating kin of Caile and myself not so nicely.  We're the cavalry on a mission to bring justice in an unjust situation.

So, we should have both our new players now, Helemin and Alachran...

If anyone has any questions on backstory, events of the game or mechanics, just post them here or in a PM and I'm sure we can help get you two into the game quickly.

In reply to Alachran (msg # 166):

Hello Alachran, great to have you onboard! I just recently joined the team. I know Heldemin  from before and I have been a captive the people in Grindbone.

Hi all, and a big welcome to Heldemin and Alachran! Nice to have you with us :) I've been a bit busy lately, Christmas season is stressful for us postal workers ;) Will try to be more active and get some more posts up in the future. If I'm inactive, just assume that Caile is doing bardy stuff, singing songs, telling stories, wailing ballads, etc.

Hi guys.

It's probably going to take me a little while to get my bearings and make sure I'm caught up on everything, but I'm excited to see where this goes.

In reply to Heldemin (msg # 173):

Hello Heldemin, good to meet you! Let us go to Grindbone and wreak havoc on their retched souls!

How are we all doing?

Anyone (mainly our two newcomers) got any questions? If not, I can get things moving again in the next day or two.

Nothing needed from me I'll try to get a first post up this evening

Are there any hard rules in place about writing style/format beyond those in the rules thread?

I'm asking because, despite my best efforts, I'm having a really hard time getting started here. I genuinely think I might have only written one other game in present tense on this site in my whole time here, and I'm so accustomed to my usual writing style that changing things up like this is kinda breaking my brain. It's a little like I'm trying to translate things into a foreign language.

In reply to Heldemin (msg # 177):

I’m just trying to paint a picture, then I usually say something and throw in dice roll of needed be. Then I leave the scene open for everyone to write something. GM games it from there. Just throw yoursef in there. :-)

In reply to Heldemin (msg # 177):

Yeah, just go with whatever style suits you best.. It's up to me to do all the interpreting..
