OOC Discussion

Had some honey-do list stuff, and my son had a track meet so I didn't get a post for Part 2 up today. Sorry. I should have it up tomorrow.

Just a heads up and/or reminder:

I will be traveling out-of-state from this Sunday (6/13) until next Sunday evening (6/20). My daughter has five days' worth of big wrestling tournaments in Provo, Utah.

On both Sundays, I'll definitely be on the road all day driving 12-hour stretches, and out of communication. On Wednesday we have a break in wrestling between two different tournaments, but the family wants to go to an amusement park. It's mostly roller coasters, and I despise heights, so I may be able to get in a couple posts while I sit around below, holding the purses, and just generally being a giant pussy my kids will laugh at all afternoon.

On the days between, most of my time will be at the tournaments, but I might be able to post in the evenings from the hotel, though no guarantees.

Hey everyone, apologies, but I'm going to have to remove myself from this game. Between a toddler, home remodeling, work, and other responsibilities, just not able to make the time to be as involved as I'd like to be in this game. It's been a real pleasure playing with everyone, the DM is excellent (good luck to your daughter in her future wrestling competitions!), and I hope you guys find someone who can be more invested. Enjoy the adventure, it's got some real doozies ahead!

OKay, no problem! Thanks for giving the game a goo long go. Enjoy your family and take care!

All the best ctme2000, its been a pleasure

We have another person applying to the game already. Are we all good with continuing the game?

yes!

I guess the thing we need to discuss first is that we're down to 3 players again. There was a 4th person that applied, but after a chat with them, they pulled their interest. They didn't like the idea that we've been playing a year now and only passed the first dungeon, and figured the game was moving slower than they would prefer to play. I guess it's better now than later.

So we should figure out what we're going to do, or how I'm going to run this with only 3 PCs... I think I could post out there that we're looking for more players, but there's a new Lost Mines game posted right now, and I have a feeling any interest in this adventure module is going to be from people that would prefer to start from the beginning, and not jump in in the middle, but I could be wrong.

Why don't we each play 2 x Player Characters? Or, we could each have a side-kick?

I would be fine with either of those options, if that's what the group prefers. The next question then, I guess, would be how many people are invested in this game still? Because it seems like maybe some of the players have burned out and haven't really been especially active this last month, or longer.

Do we have some thoughts from @Sassafras or @kwil?

Sorry, I’ve been struggling to keep momentum this past month. My wife has had a bit of a medical situation (which is still unresolved although we got good news today) and that’s been taking up a lot of mental energy along with a really busy work project. I’m still up for playing, although I’m not sure I can juggle two characters right now

Best wishes to your wife @sassafras, and you too.

DM, I emphasise with you, it looks as if the viability of our game is in question. For the record, although I would love to continue, I would also completely understand if you decide to end our adventure at this point. If that is what you decide, please accept my gratiude for your efforts to date - I for one, have had a wonderful time!

Thank you

I'm thinking that we're gonna have to call this game. I just don't think we're getting frequent enough activity to keep it going, I'm not sure we could recruit new players to it, and I don't know that we could maintain new player interest from new players if we did. I do appreciate all the players, both past and current, who have carried the game up to this point, and I wish you all the best in gaming and in your personal lives.

Thank you again, and be good.

Thanks @ therecusant. Things are a lot better

I fully understand. Thank you for running the game, it was fun while it lasted :) hopefully I’ll see you all around the site
