obviously just very good friends

I read and caught up on everything. You are doing just fine. I don't see the need to add anything today. I will try to check in tomorrow to see if I need to move things forward a bit, but will let this scene play out a bit more. Great writing/playing everyone!

Sorry for the posting delay, it's been a bit of a strange weekend and one which has been rather more exertive than I was anticipating. I will attempt to post either in the next twenty minutes or the next twelve hours depending on sleeping patterns etc.

Apologies for the small absence, IRL stuff has been a bit prominent.

In terms of brief character development, I've added to my existing trait regarding the advice and financing of the Castellan (so that's now a +2), and added an additional trait reflecting my additional 15 workds which are below:

A constant at court, she subtly weaves a web of contacts among the castellan's subjects.

Alas, I didn't have space to add 'and unsubtly pours wine on other women's clothes', but that'll probably come up next time.

I will try and get a proper post up today.

nice! I'm just thinking on my traits

Roland, what action do you take for the start of the hunt?

In reply to The Powers That Be (msg # 145):

let me get caught up, sorry about that

Heads up that I'm going to be very, very busy in the next coming months. Should be better after February, but that is a while. I feel like I'll be better able to guide this if we put it on hold until then, since I can rarely bring up the energy to provide you guys with the good stuff. Is postponing something you want to do or is that time too long a stretch for us?

Sorry for this. Life decided to crank things up to eleven.

It's entirely up to you and the rest of the players - I've been there as a GM and the choice is hardly enviable, between trying to find the energy to get posts out or risking a long hiatus and the issues that can entail.

I'm happy with whatever.

Given our current rate, I would just say call it.

It was a fun little experiment, but I dislike watching games die on the vine.

In reply to Gerhard de Colmar (msg # 149):

I'm fine either way. Personally I'd like to continue even if we have to wait, but I understand if no one else wants to.

I can't really say - I'm interested in the fame right now, and I'll be interested in it in the near future, I can't really say about 4 months in the future. Be a shame to leave it like this, though.

Alternatively someone else can take over as GM in the mean time. But yeah, I’m happy to just close it while we’re good. Just sad I couldn’t get a second chapter out.

So, unless someone wants to take over I will close the game.I am not going to delete it so that I can find you players again in the future. You guys are great people to play with.

I will admit I've never found transferring GMs works particularly well for either the new or the old GM - it tends to end up with two visions going to war with one another, and especially at this early stage, I'd rather have a new GM with a clean slate.

That being said, it might be worth keeping updated of each other's usernames? Makes it easier to co-ordinate a follow up or a spin off depending on individual interests. I know after a decade or so on the site, I've been trying to keep a go to list of players I've enjoyed working with and would like to work with in future.

In reply to Helena of Ghent (msg # 153):

I agree. My username is thattripletguy.

Totally agree. I'm InQueli.

I am deadtotheworld22.

Anachronist here. Best of luck, was fun.

Frili is mine.

Has anyone here played Wolves of God? it's made by the same guy who did Stars Without Number, but in Post-roman britain.

Sounds intriguing, say more?

Well, it is an OSR hack, based in a fantasical England. Let me see if I can find the old kickstarter link, but it's one of my favorite systems.

Here's the kickstarter.

Sooo, who's GMing a game of that, then?

;)

I hope everyone is doing well
