This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

Bueller? ... Bueller? ... Bueller?  LOL!

I'd like to keep going, I think maybe we just stalled out over some details. Is it the strict bookkeeping implied by the way we've been doing things? If so I'd be fine with handwaving it now that we've got the essential down. You two are the "old salts" so if you say no technomancer, then Phenirian will bow to your expertise. I'm also fine with giving 5% to the botonomancer and assuming market rates on the (non-press-ganged) crew. If that means we run out of cash later, so be it, there are interesting things that could lead to.

I don't have anything concrete I want to do in town. If either of you do, then I think maybe you should describe it in general terms; I can riff on how my character is or isn't involved, and OHT can frame the scene more concretely. Otherwise, maybe we should just cast off.

In that case we need some more info what it is my character knows...and how much...about getting to the fountain.

I'm still pretty excited about this game and would like to see it go forward.  However, it seems (to me, at least) that One Horse Town has lost interest in running this game.  This feeling is due to the infrequent posts by OHT.  Now, I could be wrong and he's letting us loose in a free-form sense at the moment.  However, I not really big into free-form role-playing.  I like a little more structure and involvement from the GM.

Edit- Or, this is all on me.  It's just moving too slow for my tastes, LOL!  I'm not trying to be a dick or anything.

Well, it could be that we're not giving him material to work with.

I also would like this game to go forward. If OHT needs more from us, I'd like to know how we can help. If OHT would like to aggressively put us into the kind of situations he envisioned for the game, I'm okay with that, too.

If OHT is having second thoughts, best to get that out in the open. I'd like to keep the game going, but no hard feelings, and maybe we could salvage it in another way.

Slantaris has six hooks that you can build situations around...

1. He is still haunted by the loss of his lady. (That can be taken literally or it can be "Hello, twin double!")
2. He will do stupid things to protect those who truly cares for.
3. He has a blood brother he wants to free from slavery.
4. He needs money.
5. He will probably be foiled by Gugfatten.
6. He stole a ship from Mangar corsairs.

If there are any hooks that you feel suit this campaign better, OHT, I am more than willing to change Slantaris' background.

"It's dead Jim."

Too bad, I was excited about this game.

Really?

Is it possible to schedule a voicechat game? I mean, PbP is pretty darn slow so I can see why interest would plummet.

Hey, peeps. Sorry for the silence - my time on the site has been cut down recently. I'm jumping through hoops to get a job for the government :eek: and to get the playtest document of Stone Horizons completed. I haven't checked this thread for a while.

I'm still game....but not 'till after christmas. Both private life things should be sorted by then and i can turn my attention fully to the game. :)

arminius

Good to hear, Dan. Good luck with the new job and your writing.

Job hunting can be very stressful.  I hope that find something that accomodates your life.:)

I am down to pick this up after X-Mas.  Just shoot us a PM when you're ready to pick it up again.

I'm sending good vibes and thoughts your way.:)
