Hello everyone!

Welcome my dear. What do you like to eat?

Howdy, Ma'am.

Nice to meet both of you gentlemen. I'd say I'm quite partial to a nice rabbit stew, you certainly can't go wrong with that!

Yes, that can be good. I have an old family recipe for rabbit, somewhere between a stew and a soup. Bag me some rabbits and I could try it.

 How long before we can get the game rolling again

I should be able to post again tonight. Are we mostly waiting on Sally to catch up?

Hey guys, not sure when I will get the next update out, I have some real life issues to deal with, my father is in the ICU so I am somewhat distracted but will try and get around to it as soon as I get time.

Every good wish for your father's speedy recovery.

 Blessing to you and yours, GM. Hope your dad get better soon.

Very sorry to hear that.

I am hoping to be able to use Sally as a way to tie in a couple of other ideas however t loos like we may have another new character also joining the game but I won't be waiting for them, at this stage just Sally.  She is currently having a discussion in the Trading Post (none of the other characters are present at this time) that will hopefully lead to an introduction.

Hope your father is getting better, Blessings.

Thanks for the thoughts and prayers, my father passed away on Wednesday.  By the time he got to hospital the disease and infection were too far gone.  He fought as long as he could but there was a limited amount of time the hospital could administer the drugs and other treatment but he did not suffer, he told us there was no pain and he drifted off in his sleep.

 I am sorry for your loss. God bless.

So sorry to hear of your loss. Love and blessings.

I'm so sorry to hear that <3

How'dy pardners

Almost dead, sorry to be so late coming here today... last night, 7:45 pm, dearly beloved fell over. Spent the entire night trying to get him upright, finally managed to get him to admit defeat at about 4:30 am and he let me call an ambulance. Took about aan hour and a half to come, but they were able to help him up with a brilliant device, an airbag they put under his butt and which inflated until it was about chair height and he could stand from there.

He didn't hurt himself at all, he just could not get up.

Now looking into maybe getting one of these lifting devices. It's called a Mangar Elk and the cheapest I can find one is £600. Thinking about getting one. He fell over last month too but managed to get up again.

Supposed to be working today but went to bed and slept all morning. Then got up in time to give 4 supervisions & write 2 weeknotes, then flaked out with a coffee and a muffin. Dearly beloved got up then had a coffee and a ham & egg mayo bun and has vanished again.

I aim on making some fish and chips - apart from the muffin hadn't eaten in over 24 hours - & will then go to bed.

Best of luck there Jonas !! Real life always is more important !!

I'm really sorry to hear about what you've been going through. Don't forget to look after yourself too. Maybe check with a doctor or a professional about how to prevent future falls and what to do about them. Take care!

Have you considered including images as part of IC posts. Doing so circumvents uncertainty whilst providing a guide for players to respond to.

Huh?

When I first started using RPoL the first game a ran here was a home-brewed game based on my favorite series of novels.  I made many mistakes.  I didn't understand how to get the most out of the Game Wiki or how write any code for automating dice rolls etc.  I didn't always communicate clearly with players and the game system was constantly being tweaked.  The game started out strongly and over time players came and went until eventually it faded to a halt.  I'd like to think things have improved since then.  I have run quite a few games here now and have 4 active, regular games with stable playing groups.

The Lost Regiment is still my favorite campaign to referee and I am much happier with the game mechanics now, the rule set has been play tested in a number of different scenarios and seems to work well, I just need to get better at running games and managing players :)

With a few years experience on RPoL under my belt now I'd like to try and restart this game and invite old players and new players to come and join the action.  Whilst there are many opportunities for role playing in this game, once the campaign really gets going there is a big focus on combat.  Players begin the game as privates in the Union Army but over time they have the opportunity to get promoted and take command of larger and larger formations?

Each player will have their own solo thread for solo play (something I should have done long ago) and there will also be opportunities for players of a similar activity level to work together in joint story adventures/threads.  All depending on the preferences of the players.

For more info on the campaign back ground, character generation and game mechanics, feel free to visit the site and if this sounds like the kind of game you might be interested in, please send an RTJ.

Characters for The Lost Regiment are members of the 35th Maine regiment, the 44th New York Light Artillery, sailors from the "Ogunquit" or nurses from the Christian Sanitation Commission.  Their birthplace, language and background should reflect this.

There are no Native American or African American members of any of these units however there may be a small number of immigrants from Europe.

Over the course of the campaign, players will have the opportunity to generate additional characters from the new civilizations their Yankee characters discover.  Rus, Roum and Chin characters allow players to explore multiple cultures and character options.

Hum; will you be closing these game?
