OOC
*blows the sand off this parched game*
First of all, I owe everyone an apology. My parents' house got flooded (twice) in the superheavy rains we had here in NZ at the start of the year, and as we were clearing up from that I got called for jury service, and ended up serving on a very long and complicated trial. This one-two-three punch left me bereft of time and energy for so long I couldn't even bring myself to log on for a long time. That was extremely disrespectful of me, and I'm sorry; I should have found the time to notify you.
Secondly, it's extra-galling because we were so close to being ready to start. As I was going through my notes, I found a draft of an intro post already done! Reading my notes, looking at the setting and seeing your characters again reminds me how excited I was for this game, and rekindled my interest. You all made some really fascinating PCs, and I'd love to see them given a chance to stretch their legs in the deserts of Tal-Talab.
Are any of you still around and interested in giving it another go (well, a go, really)?
