@Tickettbror: I have not played with you before. Welcome.

There are plenty of helpful people in this game, so don't hesitate to reach out with any questions you might have about the game or the site.

I don't think I've played with you yet, either, vague 🤔 Unless I'm forgetting something. But we've both been around.

Just testing your Tutorial Game. But I did not figure you needed a welcome or offer of help. :)

Hey, thanks for the warm welcome. Looking forward to being a wizard, definitely a wizard, with you all!

I have set the game as Public. Give a shout (here or in a PM) if you are uncomfortable with that and want it to be Private.

Nah, all good with public. Thanks for checking though. :)

Hi all. Hope you all don't mind, but I'm having a good time reading this RP so far!
Thanks for opening this thread up so anyone can post, vague. ;)

PS: Anyone who is not 2d6 familiars in a trenchcoat, you've made a terrible mistake :P

Kind regards

Something is fishy about this generator...

Yay, I always enjoy when outside people read and comment on public games. Glad you enjoy reading our kitchen mess

Fish in a trenchcoat would be a terrible idea. :)

They probably prefer a drenchcoat.

Yep, just busy week here and still sick. Been going straight to bed after getting home the last 2 nights. Today/tonight should be more productive.

I'm here, sorry for the late reply. Been in high level cases all week so I've had 0 energy. I'll get back to it ASAP as soon as the weekend rolls around.

No worries. We will keep going and you can easily catch up when you free up.

Hey all. I think I might need to drop out, for the next three weeks at least I'm having to cover high profile cases and I'm just going to get further behind. Really sorry, and I hope to play with you all again in the future!!

No worries. You sort out your real life, that comes first.

Come back when you are done and we will see if we are still going, you can then drop back in as though nothing happened.

Excellent.

If convenient. Else we can just pretend you were there all along and continue as though nothing happened (denial is a useful technique in PbP:).

Either let us know when you want to return and what you need to get you in, or just pick up posting whenever you can.

Still greatly enjoying reading this game. Ari's attempts to get close to Hooligander keep cracking me up 😁
Quote
May 25, 2023 8:39 pm
I wouldn't mind hearing more about that from them. :)

Nope, Ari is not trying anything at all ! What are you all talking about? 🤣

Still following along and planning to come back in chamber 3, don't really feel comfortable jumping back in the middle of chamber 2 XD

It looks like we will be ending this after chamber 2.

If you want to get back into it (for a little bit) we can easily find a way to bring you back. The thought that comes to mind right now is that something with the transport from one chamber to the other interacted strangely with the fact that you are many separate entities, and maybe it thought you were another group and placed you in a different location (maybe as a competing party?). We could handwave how you got to the others --possibly with a dice roll or two and some narration-- have you arrive from behind the stone hand?

It it up to you.

Ah, if it's finishing after chamber 2 I think I'll not jump back in, but I appreciate what I played of this. Sorry work called me away as much as it did, hopefully I can see you all in other games!

I am sure we will. It was good playing with you.

Thank you, everyone. Sorry things went a bit wobbly in the middle, there (or was it 'flat' in the middle:).

I am not sure the ruleset offers much in the way of interesting play, but you guys valiantly made it work... mostly.

Comments? Criticisms?

Yea, I think this game might work better live as a fast-paced party game kind of thing. It doesn't really have the substance for a slower PBP, I think. But we still had some good moments in this. And I'm glad we got to make a bit of use of that bundle.

It's a shame we couldn't get a climactic Ari/Hooli kiss, but at least that led to a dramatic post-credits scene and sequel bait 😄

Thanks for running this, vague!

I agree. It could be fun for a few hours, but does not have staying power. I envisioned it lasting about a week per Chamber, but let things get drawn out a lot longer than that, which, I think, cost us in the end.

I agree with Bowl. It's a fun game but definitely better suited to tabletop. It was still a lot of fun though!
