OOC comments, house rules and questions
Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
No need to feel bad about it at all mjulius. I consciously limit my online game involvement also, and completely understand if you need to find an alternative (and think most folks will, as well). Don't let these games become worrisome for you...!
Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Just adding my voice: I'm enjoying the game, both mechanically and storywise, and hope that it will start up again.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
@mjulius: you should definitely get into another game. If this picks up again, you know it's pace and can decide if it fits your life. If it doesn't, then you haven't wasted any time waiting.
I've enjoyed all your characters, by the way.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Hi all,
Firstly, I am really very sorry for the lack of action over the past couple of weeks.
No excuses, it's just really bad form.
I'd echo Rusty's comment that anyone who wants to should join another game (if you haven't already), as the pace is likely to be slow. I was aiming for a daily post, but finding the time to run two strands of the game to a standard I'm happy with has been tough.
If anyone is interested in continuing, I think we've reached a point where we can merge the two games together.
You are all technically in the same room, at least!
I'm going to update the threads today to this effect.
Sorry again guys. If you're off on other adventures, thank you all for playing - I have really enjoyed running the game, trying out the ruleset, and most of all getting to know you guys.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Definitely still in. I can handle the slow posting rate. It is sort of nice to have one game that way. Its just a pleasant surprise when there is a post.
Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Yeah, I'm totally still in. My concern was in whether this game was going dark [which happens because life] and if I should go ahead and find another. Then if I did and this got going fast and daily that I would have two busy games and in that lose some fun. I'm new to PbP so I didn't really know which way to go.
The slow pace of play isn't an issue at all. I was actually pretty cagey in the beginning in regards to how often I thought I could post. As it turns out that's not really a problem as a player.
I've enjoyed the game and the writing and look forward to continuing. In this exchange I've learned a little about this site and how to step up my own game and manage more than one. I found another [1e AD&D!!!] and so now I've got two.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
I think I smell an addict in the making!
But seriously, games come and goso it seems to me to be a good idea to have a second game going. Just in case.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Damn, I thought this one was fading out and I'd have a bit of free time on my hands - playing in one face-to-face, one Roll20, and two play-by-post games really eats up the time!
I jest, glad to be back in action.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Rusty: I know, right?! I had 4 hit points left and then rolled that sorry six OofA.Sorry to see that happen though! Time to roll up another character!
I think that I am going to pause for a bit before I roll up a Black Hack character. I am geared up to start AD&D and got the greenlight to get into a totally open sandbox OSRIC game. Anyway, I am super ready to play these crunchy antiques. I haven't played AD&D since high school!
cmrsalmon: Great game. Loved the world!

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Sorry to see you go, mjulius! I hope to run into you again, some game or other.
I think I rolled twice for combat in the last turn. Apologies. I blame it on the grief.

I had noticed that, but thought maybe I had missed an opportunity to blunder about.Pulpatoon wrote:I think I rolled twice for combat in the last turn. Apologies. I blame it on the grief.
And has anyone seen Tamerlaine? His wizard has been awfully silent.

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Have fun anyway, mjulius. I'm getting to like this joint, might have to run a game here one of these days.
Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Speaking of BLUEHOLME™, I really have to let go of other things for a bit and concentrate on the Indiegogo. Hope to see you on the other side!

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
When I said I could handle a slow posting rate, I was hoping for a slow, steady posting rate, not erratic.
I love the game and the story but if we cannot get any updates more than once every few months, I don't think this is sustainable.

Certainly understood. I'll definitely check in whenever I'm notified of new posts, but it does seem to be fading.Rusty Tincanne wrote:When I said I could handle a slow posting rate, I was hoping for a slow, steady posting rate, not erratic.

And Vile (or anyone)...did the new BLUEHOLME art Indiegogo start yet?
Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
The video is in production, so I expect it to kick off soon. I might miss the planned November start date though.lab mix wrote:And Vile (or anyone)...did the new BLUEHOLME art Indiegogo start yet?

Re: OOC comments, house rules and questions
Yeah. Good luck. It's certainly admirable to take on a project with such a large scope.
