Due to conflicting time commitments, Artemis and Hannah are currently listed as inactive. It sometimes happens that RL becomes overwhelming, or anticipated free time fails to materialize, or new time drains arrive. It happens, and there's nothing wrong with taking a step back to regroup.

 

Please, Artemis and Hannah, lurk as time and inclination allow, and participate in the OOC thread as much as you please. You're still a part of the group, and you're welcome to pick up at any time. This adventure contains at least half a dozen places to introduce or reintroduce characters, so we could work you back in immediately.

D'awww. That reminds me, if there are other people who are kinda interested but really just want to watch, can they join just to be spectators?

Sure, I don't see why not, but let's give other players a chance to weigh in on the question. People will probably be checking the thread today or tomorrow, so let's give folks until Sunday to say whether they are for or against allowing observers.

As long as they are not disruptive in any way, I don't see a problem with spectators.

Since our group is dwindling, is there any interest/possibility in doing some skype sessions?

Here's how I feel about it: In theory, it'd be cool, and I'd like it. In reality, I have a really hard time getting an unbroken 2 hours (or even 1 hour) of time to myself in the summer time. Between the teenager, the husband and the dog, all of them seem to want my undivided attention the moment I sit down to do a thing.

 

If everyone else wants to do the skype thing, I will see about locking myself in my bedroom, and borrowing my kid's headset.

Not saying it should be a regular thing, but might be nice as an option. I have trouble getting time alone too 

[berelinde]

Perhaps we should consider it for rare treats or optional encounters rather than as an RP staple? That might enable some folks to participate who might not otherwise get a chance to play, as well.

 

Of course, thus sayeth I, the woman who pretty much has unrestricted free time between 7am Saturday morning and 10pm Sunday night, and nigh zero (reliable) free time the rest of the week.

[ChachiBobinks]

Sounds good to me! Just an occasional fun thing would be awesome.

[CuriousArtemis]

Occasionally fun time would be great. During the summer, I am available late at night, every day of the week (it's the only time I can guarantee I won't be interrupted or have obligations). I am US CST time.

Artemis, it is great to have you back!

 

I just heard from Boomshakalakalakaboom, and she's going to have to hold off for a while due to some hardware issues. I'm hoping that this will be a temporary problem, and with that in mind, I'm going to add a placeholder character to the roster to make it easier for Boom to jump in once things get resolved.

 

The temporary character will be Beldin, the sample character from the "Helpful links" thread. He won't talk much (he is only a placeholder for another character), but he will pitch in with the combat. There's very little point in posting a bio as he won't participate in any roleplaying... yet. He's the one who introduces the next adventure, so you'll meet him officially eventually, but for right now, he'll do as a stand-in for Boom's character.

 

To Boom and Hannah: no pressure, but we'll keep your seats warm for you.

 

 

 

 

Disclaimer: The sole purpose of placeholder characters is to calibrate combat difficulty. They need to be similar to the characters they replace. Since Hannah indicated that one of the issues she was having was that her character concept wasn't coming together the way she wanted it to and she didn't have time to fix it, I was reluctant to add a character who might bear no resemblance to the one she eventually uses. Just a bit of behind-the-scenes info in case anybody ever takes leave of their senses and decides to GM for a while.

Guys, I'm going to jump in and make it work. Thanks for your patience!

 

I've posted a little bio thing for Tempest (it's more or less the same as what I posted in the Safe Haven Group) and am almost done with character creation pending answers to a couple of questions.

[berelinde]

Yay!!! So glad you were able to make it happen.

Roster (belatedly) updated to include Sai.
