JollyDoc's Shackled City: FINAL POST [Updated 11/2!!]

[gfunk]

Great SH guys, I´d like to know how you deal with this much character death. Don´t you get frustrated with it? As much as I like the Adventure Path in Dungeon, I find it too lethal.

Thanks! One of our players, apparently fed up with his PC reapeatedly dying, pulled a "screw you guys, I'm going home!" I leave it to you to figure out whom.

Rusty "Die a'lot" Dwarf, I assume. Though I hope he really doesn't leave. There's always Reincarnate! It can be more fun than the living.

Hey everyone! I've got some bad news and some worse news. The bad news is that Caine has finally made a graceful exit (and hopefully, temporary) from the Story Hour. He went out like he wanted, saving the life of a fellow party member while giving up his own.

Alas, before he could be raised, his body mysteriously departed for parts unknown, though those of you with a fine eye for detail may be able to figure out where he went. For those who do, a myriad of possibilities remains for his return.

The worse news is that my official role in JollyDoc's campaign has pretty much ended. Of course, I will still hang out with the guys on occasion and perhaps, act in an advisory role but my days of active gaming are numbered.

I just wanted to thank each and every one of the players, and the readers in particular, for making the last several years of my life as enjoyable as they were.

Fear not, for I will still skulk around the message board throwing around a pithy comment or three.

Best to all of you!

Alas, there goes one of the greatest powergamers of our time... Did it happen in the egg's fane or in the next step of the adventure path?

Sadly, I know what you mean. I think it's great that you had a grand exit, although I do hope that JollyDoc brings Caine back as an NPC. You could still do the level advancement 'n stuff.

On another sad note, it looks like we will never find out who would have won the match between Caine and Entropy (and the respective parties)...

We of the gaming community are losing a treasure. Funk-Man, I wish you a sad farewell. May the dice always roll in your favor.

That is some really bad news dude . Like the other readers here I wish you the best of luck and all things good.
Take care and don't be a stranger.

Did Rusty ever actually die, though? I remember he was out for a while due to "injuries," and he was captured that one time, but I don't think he ever bought the farm. Now Wathros and Tilly, on the other hand, have been making a habit of planar travel by means of sharp pointy objects. I'd guess Wathros, though it's a 50/50 shot.

You can always make a guest star appearance from time to time. For now though, Dr. Funk, your legacy will live on.

I would like to take a moment here to offer my sincere and heartfelt thanks to Gautham for his participation in my campaign, and most of all for his friendship (the former of which I hope will still continue in some aspect, and the latter which I hope will continue indefinately). In the seven years I have been running this game, he has been a constant. Our campaign would not have the depth and flavor that it has achieved without his continuing advice, criticisms and critiques. He is, by far, one of the best, if not the best, gamers I have ever had the honor to share a table with. I have learned much from him, and have hopefully grown as a player and DM. Best of luck to you, my friend. You will be missed...

I just wanted to say I agree with JollyDoc G is one of the best gamers and will be missed. I've only had the privilige of playin with him for a little over a month. I hope he finds the time to come by and visit and maybe play every now and then. He will be missed at the table.
