[5E] [OOC] JM's A Bit of Trouble (Closed)

[ArwensDaughter]

Waiting on Surina (@ArwensDaughter ) and Bro P needs another death save.

Sorry. Was helping my parents move, which took more time and energy than I expected.

 

[ArwensDaughter]

More family stuff through Sunday; not sure how quicklyI’ll be able to respond.

Hey, it's the 2 year anniversary of this thread. Happy New Thread Day.

 

[ArwensDaughter]

Just a quick note to say I saw IC post. I’ll be traveling for another few hours, making handling rolls, etc. Difficult. Will post in IC thread when I’m home later today.

 

[jmucchiello]

No rush. It's not like we have a good flow of posts going, sadly.

 

[JustinCase]

Due to moving house and the holidays, I'll be mostly offline the next 2-3 weeks. The DM is free to play my character as an NPC during my absence.

 

[jmucchiello]

That's fine and it "works" well that Bro P was separated from the group. Though, I think we are down to 2 active players now. I want to finish up this segment and get you guys back to civilization. At which point we can recruit new players I guess.

 

[jmucchiello]

I've waited a week for @tglassy to post his initiative. He tells me he'll be busy come Jan 1 (tax season).

Justin is unavailable (for the most part) in December.

That leaves @ArwensDaughter and @FitzTheRuke as the only active PCs in the game. So a few ways to go from here:

1) December holidays are usually rough on PbP games anyway. Take the month off. Regroup after New Year's when @JustinCase is back,
2) Skip the upcoming battle, wrap up the story arc narratively, and begin a long (several months) downtime sequence during which recruitment of new players can be done. Then start a new story from the beginning with a new, hopefully fully invested, group.
3) Both 1 & 2.

Thoughts?

 

[FitzTheRuke]

I had looked forward to fighting this out, but it might be best if we just escape to the nearest town and open the game to new players, build a new party, and start from town.

 

[ArwensDaughter]

I think a combo of 1 & 2 is the best course, even though I feel bad skipping the final combat. And that despite the fact I wasn’t sure Surina was going to survive it. But this is a super busy time for me, so pausing for a bit would be good.
