Whirtlestaff's Wizards' Academy Revisited, OOC01

[Leif]

Awww, come on, Scotley!! Play 4e with me! You might still be able to stake a spot if you hurry, but it's filling up quickly.

 

[Leif]

Come on, Scotley, Mowgli!! DM says we're waiting for ONE more to join, so get busy and do that indian leg-wrestling thing to see which one of you gets it! A word of warning Mowgli -- Scotley may have shorter legs, but he's w-i-i-i-ry!

Sorry, man. I just made arrangements to drop (temporarily) from The Colony game due to time constraints. I'm trying to get my head back into my HERO game and having a serious itch to run a Pathfinder game in that same world, so between that and the games I'm playing in my online gaming slots are more than filled. The thread does sound really cool, though . . . I wish I had the time.

 

[Leif]

It's cool. I was just kinda amazed when I found the thread yesterday, so I wanted to share my find with you guys. (I didn't want to be accused later on of hoarding the good games all to myself! ) In the meantime, though, the game has pretty much filled up and we're now starting to move into the character generation phase of our communal world-building. It's really a pretty cool deal, and the DM says that he's as surprised as we are at how things are turning out.

Poor JA! First I temporarily drop The Colony, and now that I've come back, you (Mowgli) have dropped it!

 

[Scotley]

Yeah, you don't know how hard it was to resist. Let me know how this game turns out. I really like the collaborative elements of it, but that is also part of the reason I didn't try to join. I just couldn't devote the time time required to properly carry my weight in such a game. I've already had to slow the pace of my own games to a crawl. I can't really justify playing in even more.

 

[Leif]

Well, I'll let you in on a little secret, if you promise not to tell: I don't think it's going to be that hard to carry my weight, because so many of the others are very gung-ho to do all the difficult design work. I'm not anticipating needing to do much more than add a dash of flavor here and there, kinda like what I did with Lauralie Summerhome. Truthfully, I don't even understand some of the things they've been talking about, but I figure if I act like I know what I"m doing, then I can fool at least some of them for awhile.

 

[Leif]

Too funny!

Here's a pic of Gandalf that I found on the web today.

 

[Scotley]

That's wonderful, not only funny but true!

I just checked renau1g's profile. His last activity was on 7 October, 2008. Now, correct me if I'm wrong, but haven't I been npcing Xavier for much longer than that? If you happen to see this, renau1g, I stand ready to give Xavier's reins back to you at any time, and will gladly do so and welcome you back to the game. I didn't take over any of the other a.w.o.l.'s because you were the last to leave, and I felt like the drop from 4 down to 3 took us below critical mass to achieve success. I really hope that you see this, and, if you do, please let us know something, no matter what your decision is, ok?

Thanks

New Wizard!

It looks like we may well be getting a new wizard shortly. I've suggested to the new player that he take over Xavier, at least for the rest of the current adventure, but I probably won't hold him to that. We'll work something out. Regardless of whether he plays Xavier or not, when he joins the group, I"ll most likely stop NPCing Xavier.
