Should we start a Mal Tiki Dance? I can promise scantily-clad women in grass skirts...

*laughs* Well, the scantily-clad women is for the Mal summoning ritual...if that doesn't work, we'll have to resort to some other obvious attempt to curry favor.

I think the key is that we need to all be there for the scantily clad women type ritual. Um, to ensure that it's done correctly. And hey, any excuse for a road trip.
If we could track Mal down, we could kidnap him, break his ankles and chain him to a computer in Gwyd's basement, Misery style.

Hello my friends! I yet live!
I'm sure you have all been wondering where I've been, and whether all is well. To answer that, all has not been well, but things are getting better. I don't want to go into over-much detail here, but I'll give you the basic rundown, because you certainly deserve an explanation.
To our great joy, my wife and I discovered in August that we are expecting a baby. Unfortunately, the pregnancy has not been kind to my wife's health. She has been hospitalized three times in the last six weeks. We have come very close to miscarrying, but so far, our unborn baby seems to be healthy. However, my wife has been placed on strict bedrest. This means that the burden of the entire household has been placed on my shoulders alone. Cooking, cleaning, shopping, dishes, laundry, the works. That's on top of school and work (plus, my wife had to quit her job so I'm trying to make ends meet). And, of course, the whole thing has been very emotional and trying for everyone.
The good news: we still have the baby, and my wife's health appears to be on the mend. We're hoping, in fact, that she may be released from bed rest in the near future.
The point is just that when the dreaded real life monster hits you that hard so unexpectedly, you kind of just drop everything except the essentials. For me, that meant that my comics, Playstation, and yes, D&D games fell by the wayside. I just didn't have any emotional or mental energy for anything else.
I am very sorry for not offering notice of my absence, but I was just overwhelmed for a while there.
Now, as my wife's health improves I find myself with a bit of free time. It's not what I had before, but it's something. At this point, I miss my games, and hope that they may continue, but I still don't know if I really have time. We will see. I fear that if I did resume DMing, it would only be for one game (forcing me to choose between Shackled City and Savage Tide, which would be very difficult).
I guess for now I just wanted to offer a overdue explanation and apology, and see who's still out there paying attention.
I'd love to hear whether any of you are still interested in continuing to play as well. At this point, I can't promise anything, but I'd like to know where you stand.
At the very least, I'm here to talk about it. Thanks for listening, everyone.

Yay, Mal!
The first three months are statistically the worse for a pregnancy, and the ones that have the highest chance of Bad Things Happening (TM). So, if you are coming out of that, you two have a better chance of plane sailing.
Congrats, BTW.
I'm around, as always, and interested. If I had to vote, I'd have to vote ST over SC, just because Paizo got their act polished more in ST and I love Col.
But, thanks for letting us know.

I'm sorry to hear of your troubles and I'm sending good wishes for you and all your familiy. Don't stress out too much about the gaming, it's good to know that you're not dead, and most of us are still here waiting patiently for when you have the time to devote to the game again.

My wife was on bedrest for about the last two months during her pregnancy with significant recovery afterwards so I empathize, its exhausting and scary. My uncalled for advice, don't expect to have any free time or energy when the newborn arrives. If you do have free time take a nap and recover some of your needed energy. You and your wife can sleep in shifts, you don't both need to be up to take care of the baby each time.
