"I didn't have to be the fastest runner, just faster than the goblin..."
 - anonymous paladin survivor of the great Tideswallow slug invasion

In reply to Dax Moonblade (msg # 286):

Ha! Well, Shard-Tooth and Tegan could just ignore the "One Customer at a Time" sign and join Bartimaeus inside the fortune-teller's cottage. I doubt that opening doors ranks very high on the slugs' skill-set. :)

Eh, not very paladin-y, though.

It's absolutely paladiny if you hold the door open for the goblin, and politely say, "after you"!

Why do I think Bart has been polymorphed into that cat?

A check in post, have been violently ill (not covid related) and will be a bit slow catching up

Thank goodness not COVID. Get better Mezzaline!

In reply to Mezzaline Thessaly (msg # 289):

Sorry to hear that you aren't feeling well. Delighted that it is not COVID. Hope that you feel better soon!

Sorry for the anticlimactic pause on everything. Switching internet providers this week and its been a mess to actually try getting on for more than a few minutes at a time. Updates are on their way to everyone’s threads, but they’ll be a little slow here for a while.

In reply to GM (msg # 292):

Thanks for the heads-up. I hate it when my technology bites me in the ass instead of making things better for me.

Soon, though, soon -- hopefully! :)

In reply to GM (msg # 292):

Aye, thanks for the heads up. Best of luck in getting things straightened out soon.   :)

'Respiratory Infection' really is something more terrifying to hear from a doctor nowadays, I gotta say

Mostly better, thankyou for all the kind words and GM I hope your tech woes are an easy fix

In reply to Mezzaline Thessaly (msg # 295):

You all good Mezz?

In reply to Soren Wolfgard (msg # 296):

All good, still a little out of it. Don't have Covid, should have made sure to say that, just a lot of coughing and gross stuff.

Ok, I think everyone should be updated. Should be back on a much more regular schedule now.

Hey hey, welcome back!

How's everyone doing?

Baseball season started for Son #1 last week; I'm defending my dissertation (econ) next Monday; Son #3's potty training went very well; all 4 grandparents have gotten their vaccines.

Pretty good spring, all in all, gotta say.

Bart your life sounds very busy!!

I took 2 weeks at Spring Break because I had it booked off and work was too stressful not to take the break. Lots of puttering around the place, and movies and board games with my 15 yo daughter.

My dad (turned 90 last week got vaccinated) my wife and I just turned down Astra-Zeneca and should be in line for Pfizer or Moderna in the next 3 or 4 weeks. Canada has gone from having this thing under control to full-on dumpster fire over the last few weeks.

Lots of RPOL games - unfortunately Dax has been dormant hoprefully things will get back on track. I am having a great time playing riffing off the amazing posts by Bart and Tegan.

Stay safe everyone.

do did this die off?

It looks like it.

DM last posted in March, although he did log in in July.

I for one, am ready to jump right back in if he decides to come back to it.

same here. It was just starting up had few new people join in too

Also ready when DM is.

Bart was having a helluva time in the city.

Anyone still here?

In reply to Angel (msg # 307):

Wow. Didn’t expect to see this thread pop back up.

DMs been gone for more than a year, Angel.

I’m in another game that could use some new players.

link to another game

If interested, send the DM a message and tell him Ember sent you.

Thanks for the invite, Angel, but my plate is full right now.

But I will say, my heart skipped hoping that this game might start up again!!
