Yeah, I still don't get it. If discovering that your PC had stepped outside without your knowledge was enough to stir up activity, it'd go like this:
Jonah: the room is empty!
player A: I come back in.
player B: I come back in. Possibly I say something interesting worth responding to.
player C: I come back in.
player D: I come back in too, but I wasn't around to hear player B. Shame.
player E: yeah, me neither.
How about we skip that tediousness, and somebody just says something interesting worth responding to? I mean, what on earth could be gained from the re-entry conga, except a roll call?
Now, a roll call here would be useful, since there've been a few in passing announcements of impending character retirements in adventure threads of late. Sigh. We've long since reached a point where no one's talking because there appear to be no games and there are no games because no one has any idea if there's anyone still here, or because a game isn't really worth running with the PCs available.
So, who is still here, with unoccupied PCs (or perhaps an unused character slot), who still intends to take part in possible future games?
I have Conuld, Transmuter 5, maybe. Not too enthusiastic about doing anything with him. Also, Gildrim, Divine Bard 3 / Fighter 1, is a few rounds from almost certain death, so I could stat up someone else in a week or two.
