OoC Thread - Strife in Sokara - A solo game for Brother Shatterstone

[Brother Shatterstone]

Well, it's the middle of summer. Things always tend to slow down here in the PbP forums through July and August.

A little, but the number of games is much slower than it was a only a year ago... I really judge on OOC chatter only so maybe I'm wrong.

Right, now everything makes sense. The Lord Crothian wishes to walk among the mortals, rather than rule over them from the heights

Actually he called us all slackers the other day... I think he got dethroned.

I think it just shows you've got well worked out character concepts. There's enough there for the character to stand up in his/her own right, without needing a party of other characters to fill the gaps

Ahhh I guess so... Next thing I know your going to tell me to write a novel too...

25?!? The only time I've hit anything even close to that in one day was when I started my Buffy game, and I'd got four players for that.

I've done 33 posts in a game in a day twice. Same game two days in a row.

Glad to hear that things are going well for Isida. What's her great news?

She graduated college and catching up with the family.

I don't know. There did seem to be less threads needing my attention when I got back than I expected, so you could be right. Of course, all it takes is for the DMs to take time out, and that has a much larger effect than players going on holiday.

Hmm, that's a good idea Go on, get writing, you!

Shoos Brother S towards a keyboard.

That's just too many! How? What game? Have you recovered from your exertions yet?

Hey, good for her Pass along my congratulations

Updated the IC thread.

yay! (and so have I. )

Very true, I know a few days last week I had most of my DMs on leave... I also know I'm probaly not thet only one in that boat. Some days it just seems very slow and others move quite quickly... A year ago at this time, the OOC threads update at such a rate that you never saw threads from the day before on the first page.

I know stuff comes in waves also... We didn't have anything d20 modern going on and we had/have two games forming up this week. So hopefully it's just me.

Hmm, that's a good idea Go on, get writing, you!

ugh... I never better than to say that... I was shocked when it was mentioned the first time. (Besides the above and the fact that I've had a few RL females tell me I RP a very realistic woman I can't think of anything more flattering.)

but I'm already at the keyboard!

It was a Mutants and Mastermind game and it was conversation between two characters, my own and another guys. It moved so quickly cause we had a chat going on and told each other we just posted. (So we where motivating each other to post. Isida and me have done the same with both "Of Vile darkness" and redemption. It’s also how we managed to do 25 posts in the first day.)

Hey, good for her Pass along my congratulations

I will do that next time she is online.

Thinks will pick up again once fewer people are on holiday, and the evenings/lunch hours get chilly enough that people would rather stay inside and play games online than be outside

Well, short of finding some elves to say that you play a good elf, it's the highest compliment you can get as a role player

but I'm already at the keyboard!

Yeah, small flaw in my thinking...

Right, that's not (quite) so bad. Dialogue is the easiest thing to write (or at least I find it to be). Combat posts (as a DM) take me the longest.

It cannot come quickly enough... :\

Been there done that.

Very true but after 33 combat posts I'm rather for my character to commit suicide but my tendency of running warrior characters with little to no spell options is the reason why.

(This is a repost of the post that I posted just minutes before you replied to my previous OOC post... So you probably missed it.

I hate to be an annoyance but Krug still hasn't' gotten much of an answer on his solo thread, if you have the time do you think you could give it a spin through?

(I have solo gaming character ideas and I'm hoping to convince him of greatness of solo games. )

please?

Oops, I'd forgotten all about that I've just posted over there. Thanks for the pointer

I'll update the IC thread this evening, as I've got to go deal with some study-related things now

It was an amazing post... very detailed and I can see a few other sole games jumping out cause of it.

Take your time. And good luck on the studying.

Wow Glad you liked it, and glad to do my bit for solo PbP advocacy

Right, I've finally updated the IC thread. We've been having a lot of thunderstorms around where I live, and when we get thunder, the power supply gets a little unreliable. This leads to me getting rather paranoid, and unplugging every PC in the house, so hence the lateness of the update.

Bloody English weather...

Yeah I'm sort of annoyed that Krug never replied to it... and sort of disappointed that my "new" solo game has been passed over so far.

Bloody English weather...

Sounds a lot like back home, we have thunderstorms from the spring to the fall... (Tornado's too) So I think I'll be buying an UPS when I go home.

Jarval... Don't hate me, but do you have Arcana Unearthed? I'm thinking that the Unfretted would be a better class than Rogue for Brystasia... :\
