That's really odd ... Unleashed. Daz's post sits there for 12+ hours without a reply and we both reply to it in the same minute! Wow.
Anywho ... I just checked the game thread. jkason hasn't been on since the 26th. Not that this is a big deal, because here in the states it is Memorial Day and people often go away for the weekend and do things like see family, go camping, etc. However, mg2001 hasn't been on for over 2 weeks if I am remembering right. Pwent hasn't been a significant player in the "RP" aspect of the game for quite some time now (since well before The Day Enworld Crashed), so I may give mg2001 a few more days to come back on line and state whether he desires to continue or not. I don't want to be a jerk about DMing or anything, but especially with PbP games the RP is significantly important.
If anyone is wondering as to why the game has slowed to a bitter grind, I'm waiting to make sure jkason returns and trying to figure out what to do with mg2001. I'd rather not NPC him again.
SIGNIFICANT EDIT: Additionally, I have recently picked up both of the books Unearthed Arcana (which I've wanted for some time now but other things kept cropping up) and Player's Handbook II. I think both are quality sources and am considering including them in game - although stuff from UA would be strictly on a get-permission-first from the DM basis because not all the variants are acceptable for the world. Any player input is desired. If you all don't have a problem with adding sources as we go I think one of the options I would love to include is the "rebuilding/retraining" aspects as printed in the books. I think that is a wonderful system of allowing characters to change over time - and it is much more forgiving about bad character choices made early in the game, too.
