Patherfinderq1: You're up. Need to know you are planning to do, as you are the only one who can see this guy.

@ everyone else: I see that Hero4Hire has been logging in to the boards here lately, have you seen him active in any other game?

Ipshivi's next action was already posted (post 180 on the IC list). She move out of the webs, and target the "spy" with another eldritch blast.

Maybe we'll have to have somebody keep a Glitterdust casting memorized- Ipshivi isn't exactly optimized for damage-dealing...

He had posted something a while back about not updating games until the subscription service was fixed. I wasn't sure if it applied to games he was playing, or just the ones he was DMing.

Well, I had hoped it only applied to games he was DM'ing (like the RHoD -- I really want that one to start back up. But now that Ethandrew has gone missing, it looks more and more like a pipe-dream).

He hasn't posted in this game either, which makes me nervous.

Good point. It makes me nervous too; I was really enjoying RHoD. Maybe I'll have to go buy it an DM it, just so I can finish it! LOL.

It's a beast of a mod. I just finished it with my RL group, and the only one to get to the end without a character death was the wizard.

Oh now Redclaw, give the guys some hope. At least a well-protected and sequestered familiar might survive!

Haven't seen him playing any games. But as far as I know, you get registered as appearing on the forums even if you just go to the main pages of the ENWorld site. So he may very well be coming onto ENWorld to look at news, but not coming into the game forums to look at or play any of his games.

The one question I have though is why he doesn't want to play as long as the subscription isn't working? I mean it only takes all of like two minutes to come onto the main page of the Playing The Game forum... then just scan down the list of threads to see which ones are bolded and have new posts. Is that really too much of a hardship for some people to do? I don't understand it, personally.

If a game goes more than half a day without an update, it usually drops off the front page, especially now that you can't use the 50-threads/posts-per-page setting anymore. And if you read the newest post once and come back to post laster, scrolling down three or four pages is a bit of a hassle.

And those extra 30 seconds it takes to hit the '2' button to go to the next page is enough to drive some people away screaming from the boards? Heh. That's funny. They're happy to spend 10 to 30 minutes writing a post, so long as they don't have to spend the minute and a half to scan down the first three pages of the forum.

No wonder these games die so quickly so often if this is the attention span of our average PbPer. :\
