I really like it a lot. The flavor stuff is really great, it captures a lot of the things that make Anime/Manga as mediums stand out from character quirks to feats and powers that mimic staples like the Flash Step, Substitution, and Shadow Clone powers.
Cool. Wonder when the print version will be out? I got a print copy of Warriors & Warlocks today; looks nifty.

Still here... I am looking at Taylor and Gale. But with our missing watcher, I can only have a discussion with the Gavin, as I suppose we are both with the watcher at the moment, right?

The Plan (tm) was for all of you to meet up again after Taylor's classes (and your work) was done for the afternoon (it's now late afternoon). Nothing has happened to prevent you or Gavin from making the meeting on time. I haven't decided whether to plot device Jemal's absense into James not making the meeting; for now, he's running late.

Gale is just following Taylor through her day, its not like she pays attention in the class or is working towards a degree. SHe is only looking for the people who are tailing Taylor really, and you said she lost the person.

Shayuri? Taylor's up.

Also, since Jemal hasn't been to ENWorld for over three weeks, I think I'm going to have to plot device James out of action for a while.

Yar, sorry! This weekend was hectic. My mom and grandma's coming up this week and I'm frantically trying to get ready. I'll get caught up today though.

Mini-bump because I hope the game's not dead, but I'm going to be out of town Tuesday and Wednesday.

I think I'm waiting on a response from Taylor. It'd be rough to move on without the Slayer and the Watcher though, especially since the Slayer is Gale's whole motivation.

*waves*

Holiday weekend means I'm not at the computer as often as usual on weekends. I'm alive though, and will get caught up asap.

Famous last words. This time for real.

Had some very important RL and online issues to work out...and now they are worked out, for better or for worse.

Thanks for being patient.

No problem. I'm going to try and get beter about making sure there's an update from me every two or three days at the latest.

Also, Jemal still hasn't appeared at ENWorld since July 30th, so assuming the game gets moving again, I think I'm going to end up writing James out.

And I picked up Mech & Magna, so my mini-M&M book collection is at 4 books (the core book, Ultimate Power, Warriors & Warlocks, and Mech & Magna). Some fun stuff in there.

I think I'm going to shut this game down; I'm not posting enough for it, and if a game goes a week without anything from the PCs, it's a problem.

Sorry, I worked 68 hours this week, so I had to focus more on my game on Living world... but thanks for the game.

Argh...

Droth...it's your decision and all, and okay, but the last post from you was a bit ambiguous. We'd gotten the demons in the car and...you didn't ask for a roll or anything. So I figured you'd either narrate us getting where we were going, or maybe you were waiting to see where we were going, but...I wasn't sure what the holdup was.

Damnit.

I'll apologize for not being as responsive. I've been enjoying the game, but I think I may just not be very good at fully-free-form investigative stuff. I think a couple different times I've sort of not known what to do next, which lead to a lot of standing around on Gavin's part (especially when he was off on his own).

Thanks for the opportunity in any case, drothgery.

Life happens. When I kicked this game off, I was unemployed. Now I'm working 40 hours a week again.

It's not just that there wasn't much activity in this game. It's also that I wasn't keeping this game or my Star Wars game updated, and another game I was in seems to have failed to get going. I'm not sure I can run multiple PBPs concurrently.

But if you're ever in one of my games again and it's been silent for a few days and you don't know what to do -- PM me or post to the OOC thread.

I'm not sure I really know how to write them either.

Sorry I couldn't make this one work.

Mew. Okay. Sorry for the fuss. It's frustrating to lose a game that I'd made special effort to keep, but I know too well how hard it is to keep multiple games going.

If accepted to another of your games in the future, I will be sure to be more conscientious about using the OOC thread and/or PM's.
