Spearmint ! alive and kicking!!

#1 Post by Spearmint »

Hello gaming buddies,

Spearmint (or rather me, Kris), is back on the forum after almost a year off. Sadly I had to withdraw my gaming time due initially contracting a sepsis in my lung which after further investigation was diagnosed as NHL lymphoma cancer. So I began an epic but not adventurous few months of chemo-therapy and localised radiotherapy with pulmonary embolisms after finding blood clots in my kidney, liver and lung. If I had been a horse I would have been shot!

Well, recovered with new hair growing back and a slimmed down figure that can get in his wedding suit from 25 years ago ( I lost about 16kgs) I am also free of work commitments and horse racing syndicates ... so back into some online passion with D&D.

I expect to resurrect my Pirates: Cannons and Dragons game in the near future and I will personally message those who joined in.

Thank you for all the personally messages of support during my illness.

Here's to more crits' and fumbles!

Kris

Wow Kris, what a year you've had!
Welcome back!! It's great to have you back, and great that the year is looking up. :)
Be well,

This is a game about killing things and taking their stuff so you can become more powerful in order to kill bigger things and take even better stuff.
Alethan: I'm good with NOT pressing our luck this time.
mjulius: That's how I know I'm home.
Pulpatoon: The whole point of PbP is to take the scheduling pressure off the game. We're just chatty because we're so eager!
Scott308: ...everyone should be reminded of just how wonderful the people they play games with here can be in real life.
Leitz: Quality and quantity wise, I think US is the best I've seen.
Paladin: I can promise terror, glory, and riches...or a quick and brutal death.
Inferno: Come on! That's was Vicar's Head, a completely different doomed village!
Rex: I can move to the wait list to let someone else into the game.

Glad to see you on here again Kris. It does sound like you have been on a hell of a ride, but I am glad to hear you are on the mend.
