General OoC discussion

Purchasing fine jewelry or expensive gems is a fine way to easily convert lots of troublesome coins into something quite easy to handle and conceal.

Theft is still a concern when you travel a lot though.

At this point, I'm becoming a bit concerned about the state of the game. We have the one apparent ghosting coupled with the fact that the party has been in Hochoch since the end of April. I am losing interest. I would rather just be honest at this point than quietly discontent.

Living up to the name, eh?

This is the nature of PBP, in my opinion. We had several objectives to complete in Hochoch that could be roleplayed or not. We have been stating that we're not interested in RPing some activities (selling gear) while RPing others (training, funeral).

The disparate nature of our party also means we're not on the same page, plus it seems that some of us are pursuing our own agenda. That means different posts of back-and-forth engagement between us and the DM, which can translate to several real-life days depending on how active we are on the site. In-game we're spending at least three days in Hochoch, but there's no correlation of how quickly we'd actually get through those days, especially when we have different things to do.

Maybe we can do better in our agreements to skip time and move forward, or communicating when we're done and ready to proceed. I can understand how we're left twiddling our thumbs doing nothing while someone else is actively doing their own thing. However, I also don't want to deny another player the chance to RP or further develop their character beyond the numbers on the sheet. So I don't know if there's a convenient answer or solution to speed up the game, at least as far as how PBP is the venue for our participation.

I am happy with the pace and the opportunity to rp some. Getting the training and being able to get equipment checked for magic are very important. I think when we are ready to move on( which I am ready now) we need to talk as a group if we are going to stay afoot or maybe at least take a pack mule with us to carry goods.

Arya is up for anything that involves smithing the villains in the next town. :)

I see what you're saying. I just want to make sure that none of the other players or the DM take my statement the wrong way. I definitely do not want to spoil someone else's gaming experience.

I agree. I feel like a horse would be good for an extremely urgent matter, but a mule or two and perhaps a cart could mean more things or innocents we can bring back.

So I'm ready to continue with the party setting out on their next journey. I think that Rosemary is going to hang back with the other NPC Dungeon Busters, however. The player has been absent all month, and hasn't responded to private messages. So for now the party will be 7 PCs, not 8.

We could invite another player to join the narrative in flight, with the party meeting the character on the road like Jonel, or we could be content with just 7 players/PCs. Either way, I'm not going to hold up the party. Do you have a preference between inviting/not inviting another player?

I have no preference either way.

Same same.

Same

7 is fine, but up to you!

Hello, folks. Thanks for having me. I am working on a character even as we speak, but it is late where I am, and my body craves sleep even when my mind wants to stay up and play. So, I will have a character posted tomorrow, but I just wanted to meet everyone and say thanks for inviting me.

Welcome

Do enjoy WhtKnt.
