OOC Chatter

🤣

Thanks!

Funny! I think the last time I played D&D was about 25 years ago, so safer with you than me.

Hmm, well I have kept a small human alive for over 6 years, so I think I can manage this😂😇

Alive and... well? 🙄

I think he's doing very well. Has many friends, does great in school, loves fruit more than candy, asks for and drinks water 9/10, likes being active all the time, oh god all the time, never calming down. But overall he's the bestestest kid in the goddamn universe! And I'm DEFINITELY not biased........

Nop, not biased no, definitely not, bestestestly no way, why would anyone think that? 🤔 Even though... I’m not sure if asking for water at 6 is healthy, sounds very suspicious to me🧐

I TRY to give him lemonade and chocolate milk, but he PREFERS water; a direct quote: "water makes my thirst go away, lemonade is just tasty."

I remind him about candy from time to time and then he sometimes wants it, but he prefers grapes, pears, mangos, apples, all the berries, etc etc..

He also likes playing outside, especially climbing trees. He rather plays tabletop games than video games. He actually behaves in stores and restaurants..... I might be raising an alien.

Clearly, he's been brainwashed....
I suspect he's in a cult !! Or maybe he's the cult leader...

Yes... I sense something is not quick right 🙄
A cult could explain it...

After being married for almost 15 years, my wife told me she no longer has feelings for me. In the coming months, I will have to make major changes in my life (relocating, splitting everything, selling the house, making sure the kids are not forgotten in all that, etc..). It's a sad time for us but at least we are not leaving each other with bad feelings. I don't know when I'll be back but once my life is back on track, I'm sure I'll come back to this great community. I'm sorry for the inconvenience I'll be causing to those with whom I'm gaming right now...

Take care of yourself first man. We will be here when you can make it back. Feel free to reach out if you need at all.

Oh man, that is really tough :(
No inconvenience at all, don't even think about it.
Just focus on getting yourself back on track (and on not forgetting those kids)

I'm sorry, it's an awful place to be. I've been in her position a few years back (after a much shorter relationship) and what helpend me go through the necessary steps most was always trying to find what's in the best interest for our kid (yet keeping it realistic). There have been fights, but in the end we both wanted to create a stable situation that's the best solution for our child:-). It gets easier, really.
Also, don't forget about yourself, your (mental) health matters and is of vital importance for the (mental) health of the kids, so take a break from it all if you have to, that too is VERY ok!

Take all the time you need and reach out whenever you want or need to talk to someone outside of the real world, like drama said. And you're always welcome back if and when you are ready:-)!

Sorry to hear that deadpool_qc. Wishing you and your family the best during this difficult transition.

How was Alaska!?

Also, I think we may be looking at trying to find another one or two people to fill us out with some of the drops we've had if people are good with that.

It was really cool! We were fortunate to see Denali several times, I guess that is not always the case due to cloud cover. Walking through the tundra was interesting, and we got to see a lot of wildlife including grizzlies, moose, and caribou. Glaciers, braided streams, all kinds of cool stuff. Glad to be back though, the travelling took a lot of time.

Looking for more people sounds good to me

Hello, thank you for having me! I look forward to the fun times!

Greetings,
I plan to fill the not so much healing roll of a druid. I hope i don't get in your way to much :D

Hey everyone! I'm so excited about the new people joining (and the old ones staying, obviously)! I've been thinking a bit about how we can introduce the new characters to the game in a way that makes sense. I definitely want to work with everyone to do this in a way that you're also comfortable with yourself, so feel free to tell us/me about your own vision. Also, if you would like a recap of what has happened so far I'll be happy to write it.

In the next few days I want to write a post where we say goodbye (for now) to Mandrake the Healer. He's going to immediately leave for the nearest druid outpost, not wanting to wait until tomorrow to try and reach out to Oma Salie (part of the werewolf solution). If he goes alone he can use animal shape and move faster, so he will definitely ask/tell Nàdair and Roddric to stay at the Wayward Saint. His choice to leave could be made easier if one or more of the new characters comes into play here. Don't worry, if we can't introduce anyone here we will move through the night quickly and without any deaths (hopefully:-p). I think Mandrake will have the intention to be back in town the next morning, but I will find a reason to make things work out differently. We will be hearing from Mandrake from time to time and if Deadpool is ever in a place where he wants to rejoin the game he obviously can.
My thought for the druid of CaveJohnson is that he is send to join the group by Mandrake, so for me it makes most sense if he enters the next morning during the meeting with the mayor. This is also a good moment for others to be introduced, since the mayor knows some of the original members of the group had to say goodbye so she might have contacted others to take their place.

I would say that anyone could enter the game right at this point in time; the party is at the Abbey of the Wayward Saint (found here) which is a normal place for travelers and townfolk to visit, if not for a religious reason then to get the latest information of what's happening in the area, since the people there usually are very well informed. So anyone coming past it to go into town could easily enter the story there. For example Maighan coming from Glitterhall to talk to the mayor about the problems back home, or Mönkhbat coming back home from a few days out in the wild, even CJ's druid could have been out to do a druid thing and going back to Mosstop via the Wayward Saint and Bromwich. Also, the room the players are in now is filled with all kinds of things and the perfect hiding spot for a sentient something feeling it's their time to "wake up and do something".

Please let me know what your thoughts on all of this are!
