You're great, Dr. M.

But...what Alhandra and Kazak said. Jozan is in the rogues gallery, too.

And how does Kerwyn get that colored boarder around his pic? Anybody know?

All right- I've updated the iconics page I put up. It's got current Hennet and Regdar stats, it's got Naull, kazak, jozan and alhandra.

Anyone missing anything, let me know.

Thanks for the update Doc! Good work. One prob though. You've got the old version of my stats. They're missing a few magic and masterwork items. Sorry, should have told you there are two versions.

Hey, thanks a lot for the update, Doc!
I hope life is a bit simpler for you nowadays - it sounded awfully strenous and hectic for you a bit ago!

And everyone else - can I ask you a question?

It seems to me that the action is kinda.. slowing down?

Have you guys thought that, or just me?

I can mention some specifics, but basically, I think I could have Alhandra take off for about a week at this pace and really not miss an action.

I just wanted to air out a feeling i had, throw it against the wall to you guys, and see if it sticks, or how you feel, and also how PCat feels about the pace.

I think it was cool splitting up the party, but it seems that the Vadania-Alhandra-Naull-etc party is creeping along at a snail's pace since we broke up...

feel free to ignore, anyone... i'm just speaking my mind, as is my tendency - sorry if i offend.

Bah the pacing is slow because the man in red robes has been busy, and splitting us up actually slowed it down more.

I hear you, reaper. Yes, things have gotten very slow, and that can easily become annoying. After all, what happened to postings twice a day? Grrr.

I have played in many online games like this one, and indeed ran a game myself for over two years. Unfortunately, this sort of thing happens all the time, guaranteed. Game energy waxes and wanes depending on how much response there is from both players and the DM. Some games die because of it. Others survive for quite some time. So for whatever it's worth, here's what I've learned:

1. We all have lives in the Real World (TM) and they are going to conflict. Unavoidable and necessary. The best way to deal with this is to do what we are already doing--inform the rest that you're going to be out of it and give a bit of your character's intentions beforehand. As for unexpected absences, well, we'll all deal with it.

2. Running a game in this manner is a lot harder than it looks. Because PCat is such a fantastic DM, the majority of his posts are creative, clever, well-written, and dramatic. This is a lot easier to pull off and sustain during a single live session twice a month than it is day after day after day. And, again because he is a fantastic DM and cares about things like story and atmosphere, in many of his posts he has to sort of rewrite what we are doing to make it fit with what else is happening. Plus all the game mechanics stuff. And the more players there are (ahem) the longer all this takes. Each of us only has so much time we can devote to thinking Iconic each day (ok, some have more than others, but Regdar is an exception to almost every rule, isn't he?).

So, while PCat's determination to post every day is both admirable and inspiring, it is, sad to say, unsustainable. I suggest that we allow him to find a schedule that fits better with his life. When I ran my game, I tried to post something substantive two or three times a week. I've seen successful games wherein the DM posted only once a week! I know this seems incredibly slow--it is incredibly slow--but if we can find a pace that works and keep with it, our game will be healthier in the long run.

3. Did I mention that playing online is incredibly slow? (My 2+ year email campaign,for example, only covered about a month of game time!!!). We've all figured this out by now, of course,and discovered the value of patience. But remember that these games are a group effort. Role playing and character interactions can often fill most of the empty spaces. And that sort of posting is up to us, the players, to instigate--we Iconics do and should continue to amuse ourselves while the DM is away. Of course it's not easy in the midst of a battle (sorry, Alhandra), and one shouldn't disrupt the ongoing action too much, but a little willingness to interact can go a long way.

(Note: This does NOT mean that everyone should start picking on poor Jozan whenever they have a spare moment. After all, he is a Cleric, and that means he must be everybody's friend. It says so in the PHB!)

I apologize if any of this has sounded pedantic, condescending, self-important, or...umm...anything else bad. It's just my thoughts about the game, and everything is naturally up for discussion and criticism.

Perhaps if you charged all the down time to PC as time spent healing he would motivate people to move faster. You can't kill anyone when they have enough time to fully heal between rounds.

I apologize.

I've been working on a short-deadline RPG project this week, and every time I start thinking about the iconics, I *stop* thinking about my stupid adventure. Frustrating, albeit temporary.

Even worse, it isn't fair to you guys.

Thus, let's strike a bargain: I'll guarantee to post each night before bed during the weeks, taking the weekend off. If I can post more often, I will, but that will be the minimum. In addition, I'll try not to dwell over minor diddly points that slow down the game.

I'll have this project finished next week, but you guys have been Very Patient Players (tm), and I'd appreciate it.

Thoughts?

Hey, thanks for letting us know what's up, Pcat.

You da man when it comes to this adventure, and it's only gonna go as far as your schedule allows it:
If you're slammed, you're slammed - we all understand (I'm sure) that a man of your prodigious talents will have other obligations than our little adventure.

I appreciate any time you can put in to updating, even if in just little ways.

My only request is that could you soon write in that the "Vadania" group gets "together", time-wise?
I don't think that Alhandra has been placed in their vicinity to be able to interact (for example, Alhandra wouldn't have let Vadania get close to the edge and looked down IF she'd been there - but my guess is, you just like torturing Vadania. ).

Also you might have missed Alhandra sprinting over to the edge and trying to see where Vadania went to.
She would have either grappled the armor to try to stop the armor's mobility, or she would grab the rope there and lower it to anyone in the pit.

But she hasn't SEEN anything yet.

Thanks a lot and keep hanging in there!
