I believe Gertie came to the Bauman apartment for the first time on the weekend of Dec. 7. She started playing the weekend of Dec. 14. After that, Kennon and Liz went to SD to get married.Laurel said:

Questions, Questions, etc.
Alright, so some questions need to be answered and some stuff done. Some of these are requests from Kennon, and some of them are my own.
Firstly, please send me the pictures you want to be used on the website: pictures of you, your character, your miniature, etc.
Secondly, also please send me your character sheets, small blurbs about your character, your news, and any character history you have. Whoever has the quotes, could you send those too please? And anything else you think you would be cool on the website.
Now for the ingame stuff.
What, in general, did you do during your 5 weeks of down time? There will be no "I would have done that!" after we start playing. Either you did or you didn't.
Let's plan to the point, how we are going to get to Dwarfsport. We are taking Captain Seaborne, his crew (approx 20 men) and ourselves through country we know to be inhabited by Black Orcs. We have 2 mounts, Thane and Yoshi.
So, are we finding mounts for everyone? If so, someone is going to need to teach the sailors how to ride horses, and we're going to have to find mounts for all of us.
We have 3 options for paths to Dwarfsport. We can make our way northwest across land to the river and attempt to make our way down the river on our boat. This is going to be difficult with mounts, especially Yoshi.
Or we can cut our way directly across land cross-country northwest to Dwarfsport. This would be dangerous to the various NPC's traveling with us, as well as take a long time. Thirdly, we can go directly west across-country until we hit the main road between Oceanus and Dwarfsport.
Any way we choose, we're going to have to make contingencies, because we're not just traveling with us, we have others to protect.
So, lemme know what you guys are thinking so far, then we can work together to come up with a plan.

Kennon was talking to me this morning about how we need a leader..
I believe that 2 of us are truly capable of that... Justice and Xath...
I am more than willing to serve that position... to the point that I will spend quite a bit of time outside of the game learning all the military stuff that Justice would actually know... so that we truly have a leader that can make combat plans and execute them so that we are running around like a bunch of blind idiots..
In essence, to aviod the "gong show" that we become from time to time...
Generally, Justice is made to be a leader... Liz has trouble, though becuase I don't have the knowledge... I will acquire it if you all so desire...
Let me know what you guys think...
Xath has the potential to be the leader, as well... she has the abilities... but, the question is whether or not that is the direction that she wants to take her character...
So--those are my two cents for the moment...
I'll be back soon with "What Justice Does" during the 5 week gap...

Thanks Gertie!
Other things:
You need a leader. Democracy is a failure. Accept it, and appoint your dictator-for-life. I beg you to find a leader among you by the next time we play.
There was a lot of general negativity yesterday among the crew. I don't know if there's something I can do to alleviate that, but if there is, please tell me. It's supposed to be a fun game. Let's all have fun, shall we?
However, please remember that I do not put in an easy solution for everything. Some things have no solution. Evil NPCs are Evil (and aren't going to bend over and take it when you think you have them beat). Good NPCs are good, but have their own interests. PLEASE don't get angry at me for not making things crystal clear. It's not a computer game, so there's not necessarily a way out of every room you're in, or every trap you're in. Yesterday presented a bunch of moral dilemmas with no solution. That was intentional. What you do with them helps make your characters interesting. It makes the story better. Just keep that in mind in the future, because I'm trying to have fun with all of this, too.
[Rant]Lastly, despite lots of in-game reasons for the characters to have become closer to eachother, several of your PCs seem determined to remain loners. That's a valid character choice. However, I'd like to ask (beg?) that you not let it cripple the game. As is natural, all of the characters came into the game with different pasts, and different goals. By now, those should have faded. They haven't. They need to, or it's only going to get less fun from here on out.
Anyway, I love this game. It's one of my favorite things to do. But it tends to tarnish the experience when at any given time, at least one player is contradicting me, arguing with me, or complaining about the game in general, and sometimes all three are happening at once.[/end Rant]
Game=fun=candy corn and flowers.
