S@squ@tch's Against the Giants - Team Black OOC - Grinding

[s@squ@tch]

Luckily your bow isn't "all-bane".

 

[Rhun]

True...but he sure does do a lot more damage to giants than he does to aminals. Thank the elven gods for close combat shot, though or Aeranduil might be in really bad trouble.

 

[s@squ@tch]

Lucky that giants aren't too intelligent, else, they could start a-sunderin'.

Hmm, need to start populating these places with non-giant types.

That ogre never stood a chance.

 

[Rhun]

When I built Aeranduil, my hope was that the build would be able to inflict enough damage to take a hill giant out in two rounds, and any lesser types (such as ogres) in a single round. He has actually proven to be a bit more effective then I had hoped, even against non-giants. So, with the exception of his relatively low hit points, I'd call Aeranduil a successful build.

All right,

I've been extremely erratic in my pbp posting for the last couple of months in contrast to my normally 1/weekday posting in the games I play in.

I expect this to continue for months as well, I've got more ongoing family medical stuff coming up that will be disruptive including a major surgery for my wife with a significant recovery period. I expect to be busy and a bit stressed taking care of wife, kid, and household plus keeping up with my normal work. I expect to not post for a while, to sometimes not want to worry about game commitments and just post randomly in general, and sometimes in contrast to really want to get away from things and be in a fun game with online friends as a recreational outlet from everything else that is going on.

So I wanted to post in and explain why I have been and expect to be erratic in posting for a while.

 

[Rhun]

Thanks for posting Voadam. Wishing you the best in these rough times!

As far as your PC in my game goes, no worries. I'll continue to NPC him as best I can, and he'll be waiting when you make it back to regular posting.

 

[s@squ@tch]

I need to take roll to make sure who is still in the game.

I know that in the past month or so, progress on this game has slowed considerable.

I want to get this thing off the ground and moving, but I warn you that I am selling a house, moving cross-country after said house sale, and have two small children that are eating up my free time.

That said, I want to give these games a fair chance.

To that end, I request that all current players check in so that I can see the best way to proceed.

As I have two games going at the moment, my options are as follows:

1) Keep games separate and going with DM PC's
2) Keep games separate and recruit players to fill DM PC and missing PC slots
3) Merge the two games

Obviously #3 would be somewhat tricky, as both groups have entered the Steading and are in different parts.

 

[drothgery]

Well, I'm still around, though I've been very busy with work for the last few months (enough that I ended up shutting down one game I was running last fall, and formally put the other on hold a few weeks ago after not posting in way too long).

 

[Neurotic]

I'm in. And I AM one of those DM PCs

Depending on how separate the groups are or how dependant layout of the lair is maybe you can shuffle it a bit to make them close(r) and we merge after ths fighting?

 

[Rhun]

Definitely here and still ready to go.
