[OOC] A Game of Trust

I apologize for the lack of posting recently; there have been a lot of real-life surprises that, while ultimately beneficial, have left me in between stable living situations, and in the interim I just don't have internet access. (Well, I have some at work, but I don't exactly have time while I'm here to post.) Things will hopefully have changed by the middle of next month; in the meantime, I suggest that your characters take this opportunity to contemplate their impending doom.

Again, I apologize. Also, if anyone wants to invoke the "player-DM" option and advance the action, feel free. There is nothing too set in stone between your current location and the delivery of the next letter.

STEP SLOWLY AWAY FROM THE DM CHAIR, Maarten. :D

That's fine, GP - I'm fine with waiting for you to resolve your deal (and if it means you're no longer going to be in Boise, I fully support your state of temporary flux; I've lived there, too, and it is no fun).

I'm about to get spread too thin with PbP, honestly, so now would be a good time for ME to contemplate how much time I have for all these games (I'm in two, about to be three now; I have no idea how garyh did it). One hour every three days? One hour a week?

But make no mistake - this is my main game, and you guys are my main PbP crew. I will never forsake you, and I swear, GP, if you run undead at us right this minute, we got somethin' fer ya... :D

Good luck, GP. We'll be here whenever you're ready.
 

You ain't gonna take me alive, dpdx.

I'VE GOT SOME DICE AND I AIN'T AFRAID TO USE 'EM.



A bit more serious now. What we could try to do, just for a laugh, is tell the story in turn. One starts, just a few sentences, and the the other continues, and so on. Untill we find something to clobber, and then we just fight :). Just for this scene, we all know it'll take us two weeks just to get five minutes in game time :).
 

We're kind of on a cliffhanger as it is, though. The way I see it, the party (along with the survivors) has just about broken a hole through the wall to save some people... OR....

Meet some newly zombified opponents (YAY!). Either way, we can't narrate that (or give ourselves XP).

So I'll wait for GP to kick off with a post before I go again. In the meantime, my subscription still works, and I come on every so often to read Halmae.
 

Hey gentlefolks, sorry for my absence as it would appear since the last crash something bad has happened to some server-like thing somewhere in the pacific which is preventing me from accessing the site (by what I've read elsewhere doghead also has the same problem). I'm currently able to get access through a proxy server so I'm going over to the IC thread to see what I've missed.
 

So, to hell with it. I'm not content to let this fine PbP go quietly into the night. And I posted even though I said I wouldn't again. It's just fluff, anyway.

Feel free to join Fendric in shouting down the mine victims/undead. :)
 


DPDX, you do realise that your turn undead will work only in a narrow pathe in a straight line from fenric through the hole straight onward, 'cause you don't have line of effect on anything else?

And roll init evryone, I know you want to die, eeeuh, ehr, fight.
 

It should be in multiple lines of effect from my hand, which is at the hole. I never got the idea that it was such a narrow hole. I thought they were moving rock, not drilling through it.

If necessary, I'll wait until the others hollow it out a little more, so that Fendric can inflict maximum damage.

Edit: And while I'm at it (otherwise I'll post about three more times in a row), some observations:

- No offense to you, DrZ, but I'm taking this 'experiment' with a grain of salt. It just doesn't feel right without GP at the helm. By the same token, I'd take me DMing with about a pound of salt, too. Fendric has Fendric's clue about the whole plot, but it's not the whole clue.

- Let's try to keep it believable. We've never been about the rat-bastardry, and if it starts, I'm done.

- We're not doing this for too long before GP comes back, in any case.
