Out of Character

How would you like to handle rest for the forgeborn?

I'm not sure what you mean? I can't see anything in the Forgeborn race section about rest. Enlighten me :)

Haha! Exactly my point! Since the Forgeborn is a machine, how should we go about resting? It seems unreasonable to think it goes forever without some kind of shutdown time. We could play it that way, or we could play it that the forgeborn requires some kind of stasis period every so often.

Thoughts, opinions?

My feeling is that it should have some kind of downtime to recharge it's batteries, so to speak. Then again, maybe it could recharge them some other way, like walking. If think of electric bicycles that recarge their batteries by braking, this could be another way.

I just feel like I should put this out there.In the name of fairness, I think it should need rest, but that's me.

You've answered your own question. Let's go with the suggestions you've made above. It sounds both fair and interesting in terms of the story.

Ok, cool. We'll go with movement recharging the forgeborn, sitting still on idle just wears it down. Too much of that it will become inert. Fun!

Sorry guys I was on vacation and I thought Id have internet.

Sorry it's going a bit slower than anticipated. My son is sick at the moment so there's a lot of time dealing with that and in and out of hospital sporadically. Bear with me.

As a parent, I understand and think I'm probably not alone in saying obviously take care of your son and I hope all is well.

No worries at all!

Are we going to look for a replacement player for the game, or just go on with 4?

I just haven't got round to advertising but if you know anyone who would be interested let me know by tomorrow. Otherwise I'll post for a replacement.

My wife's birthday is coming up and we're doing a party tomorrow, so I'll be gone for most of the day. Might find an opportunity to post if my turn comes up, but if I don't, then do not fret; I'll be back on Sunday :)

Don't worry. I've been toiling a bit anyway this past week as my son is sick. I'll pick up some moves this weekend but don't worry if it doesn't resume properly until Monday.

Take your time man. Hope your son feels better.

Real life comes first.

Thanks guys. He has Leukemia so it's a long hard slog. Most of the time it's fine but some days are a bit more challenging due to the treatment. He's in remission though so we've crossed the first major hurdle but it's 3 more years of chemotherapy and there are days where he's just not that well.

Sure man, take whatever time you need. My prayers go to him and your family.

Holy smokes...look, if you disappear for awhile because of this stuff, don't worry about us. That's waaaay more pressing than this game.

Sorry guys, I may have confused matters here. My son was diagnosed 7 weeks ago. While it's all stress all the time, we're no longer at that crazy, living out of the hospital stage. He's undergoing chemotherapy and most of the treatment is at home. It's just occasionally he'll feel a wee bit under the weather and I'll miss a day. I'm by no means suggesting we break from the game. Gaming is keeping me sane.

How do you want to handle "Staggered" as a condition? Is it just to make characters targets, or will there modifiers or what not?
