OOC - Planetouched Peril (New to ENWorld PbP) - Completed

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Notice for all my current players: I'm instituting a new policy for all of my games. If someone doesn't post for over three days and they are holding up the game because of it, I will NPC your player until you return (and you can immediately take up the reins agan). Absence for two weeks without prior notice means I bring in an alternate to take over your character (and they are allowed to make changes to them) or I bring in an entirely new player and character.

If we're in a closed environment and someone wants to bring in a new character, I reserve the right to have your character wander off, lose interest, take a new job, switch sides, or even kill them in order to keep the game moving. I do not want to have to play three abandoned PCs, so I will probably find a way to remove them from the party at the first available opportunity.

Please, please, please e-mail me if you realize you haven't posted in several days and real life is keeping you busy. I'd rather know that someone has had a hectic day at work than they found my game boring and quit. And if you find my games boring or confusing, please e-mail me to express your concerns. I'd hate for anyone to be bored playing my games.

I'm instituting this policy for the health of my games and am sincerely not trying to annoy anyone, so no one take it personally!

 

[Ghostknight]

Well. I'm busy reading along here. Ready to jump in anytime you like.

 

[Temujin]

ah.... yea. Sorry about that. I've been caught up in job searching and stuff. That on top of my language studies and social life really make it a tight schedule.

I'll try and post on a regular basis from now on.

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

Verbatim, if Rhia doesn't mind, I though Jabin's reaction was really great! It was just right for his character, and I can't wait to see how it will develop in the future.

Also, Temujin, according to my new policy, you are four days from losing your active player status. You haven't posted since the 9th, and on the 23rd the next alternate will be moved up. So, please let me know if you are going to be able to post at all. I just need something, anything of substance. I know job searches do take priority, as do classes, but I do need a confirmation of your participation or a graceful bow-out. What's it going to be?

 

[Rhia]

Hehe, I didn't mind at all! I think it was very well suited to Jabin. Nice job role playing. And who wouldn't want to be thought of as an angel?

 

[Temujin]

I'm on it.. I was just trying to find a place to jump in..

 

[Isida Kep'Tukari]

And if you can't find a place, make a place! Seriously, if you don't feel there's anything right at hand for your character to do, make some stuff up! Make yourself get harassed by a squirrel or bombarded by a blue jay, have your horse act up, strike up a conversation with one of the pilgrims (and I'll just follow your lead). Find a pretty pebble, break into song, go hunting, remark on a strange tree, catch up on your reading and mutter "never heard of that before," take a swing from your waterskin and wonder how a frog got in there.

Just a quick thought. I think Pharos, who has grown up in a temple and not been exposed to much in the way of temptation, will struggle a bit socialy with some of the new things he comes across. In retrospect, he has led quite the sheltered life. I think Azure is kind of the polar opposite of Pharos, and that is why he will feel a little uncomfortable around her. He will also find Saku and Zafira hard to figure out, as they come from different cultural backgrounds.

Lastly, there was one thing that I want to play up a little bit. In your description of your world, you said that elves born out of the forest had blue eyes and are shunned by others. As he was born in the temple in Andulvey, he has those dull blue eyes. I think others should be slightly put off by this if they have any knowledge of elves or have encountered them in the past. It will, I think, add to his lost sheep finding the right path character arc.

Thanks for listening.

Cool wolfheart, I shall remember that in the future.

In other news, wolfheart, Verbatim, Temujin, and Cannibal Kender, waiting on you...

It is with deepest regret that I am writing. The real world has finally caught up with me. Between the Hospital expansion that I am Foreman of at work, and the remodeling project that is ongoing at home, and coaching my sons soccer team, I have to make some cuts somewhere. I wish this was not one of the places that I have to cut, but with the remodel my internet access has become more spotty than I had hoped. I really enjoyed this game but I am afraid that I will have to bow out for now. It is a shame, as Low'verok was the most 'alive' world I had ever played in. I want you to feel free to use Pharos as an NPC, and maybe when things settle down at home he could reappear in one of your games. I just want to close by saying that i appreciate all the work and detail that you put into the games, Isida, and that I am sorry that I can't make the time committment now to continue.

I will no doubt enjoy reading the exploits of 'Planetouched Peril' as often as I can. I would also like to say that I am sorry to the other players, as this group has had too much turnover already.

See you on the boards,
