Hailing frequencies open (Intro & OOC chat)

I leave those things to the GM to decide and not step in their toes.

The opening scene of the next chapter is taking a little bit longer than expected. I will post it later today or tomorrow at most.

Thanks for the update. Do what you need, there is a lot going on right now so it makes sense.

I have enough information/decisions/actions from the PCs for my post, but I had some unforeseen circumstances at work and didn't have enough time to write something to advance the story.

I'll try to post tomorrow or, if that's not possible, I'll have time on Saturday.

Life has no respect for the game... :) Looking forward to it.

Life happens. Understood. Take care

I'm traveling until Monday, without access to a computer. Unfortunately, I can't post the updated map, but I can keep things moving using "theater of the mind" and text descriptions from the phone. I'll upload the map next week.

That's fine; we already have a lot to explore on the map you've given us.

Have a good journey!

Take your time; we can make do. Have a safe trip!

Thanks for the update, travel safe.

Hey everyone, just a quick heads-up — I’ve come down with a virus and won’t be able to post for a day or two while I rest and recover. Thanks for your patience!

Wishing you a speedy recovery.

No problem! I hope you get well quickly!

Rest well. :)

Sorry, but today was a busy day for me. I will post Hank's next move tomorrow.

Well, folks... we made it.

This is the end of the line for this game—but not, I hope, the end of our stories together.

Since November 2023, we’ve written a staggering 4,234 posts together. That’s 4,234 moments of tension, action, horror, humor, teamwork, wild improvisation, and worldbuilding. We’ve created something truly special—something that I’ll look back on as one of the most rewarding and imaginative Play-by-Post experiences I’ve ever had the pleasure of running. =)

I hope this story was as satisfying to play as it was to GM. I hope it gave you moments to remember—and maybe even a few to brag about. And most of all, I hope this isn’t the last time we get to play together. Whether it’s a new campaign, a short-form game, or something completely unexpected, I’d be thrilled to create with you all again down the line.

For now, take a breath, write your closing posts if you’d like—and know that you finished a Play By Post multi-year game and you told a hell of a story doing it. =)

One more quick note from me as we bring this to a close—

When I first imagined this final chapter, I didn’t expect it to run this long! 😅 That’s not a complaint, by the way! =D Because of that, I wanted to mention that I won’t be jumping immediately into the Alien game I had hinted at previously. I’ll be taking a bit of a break first before spinning up a new game.

It’s still something I’d love to run someday, but for now, I’ll be holding off — maybe further down the line when things settle and schedules align again.

At the moment, I’m already GMing my Tiny Waterdeep game, and I’d like to keep things focused by just running one game at a time for the foreseeable future.

Take care, and thanks again! =)

Thank you htech. Sci-fi games seem hard to come by and good ones are even rarer. I'll keep an eye out for your next offering.

To the rest of the crew. Thanks for the game and the story, it's nice to finish a pbp game. Be seeing you all around the forums.

What a ride. I thought we may lose Mercer there at the end.
There were quite a few moments I wasn't sure what was coming, and a lot of fun. I wanted to thank you all for this story we shared. I really enjoyed this story.
I will be posting my epilogue later today, and am looking forward to seeing what you all write.

P.S. I have a couple games: a wilderness survival, and terraforming game, that are still in the interest gathering stage. You are each invited if intereste.

Thank you so much for the wild ride! It has been a delight to be part of it over the years and I greatly appreciate that offer to join way back when we started!

Also remember that not only was this a PbP campaign that survived multiple years to reach a conclusion, but it survived two game systems, too! We did a successful transition from one system into SWN and did so in a way that not only succeeded, but actually added to the story in ways that paid off all the way to the end. What you managed to pull of is quite impressive!

Thank you for the chance to inhabit Hank!
