Thanks for playing, squid. We'll miss Rowan, who can certainly become a potential hireling at the Fox!
Looking forward to playing with you again in the future!

Genuinely finding it hilarious that the only person in town willing to give us a sack of cash isn’t actually paying us!

Oh no, don't worry. It's just Nessa being a bit complicated. At first I struggled to figure out how I wanted to play her. As a result she felt a bit fickle and I decided to just stick with that for her character. I think that works well with her fay background as well.
Thanks for checking though.
Might as well take the opportunity to say that I have been enjoying this game a lot so far. Recently I have grown a bit more cold towards the OSR and downright icy towards the classic european "medieval" fantasy settings. Despite that, this game still keeps me engaged, so compliments to the GM.

I second the compliments to the GM. This is my first PBP game and I’m really leaning into the sleepy pacing. So nice to really focus on the little things and enjoy seeing things unfold at their own pace.
Not just the GM too, it’s been a lovely showing for everybody so far - real joy to play with you folks.

Sorry it’s been sleepy! We’re doing okay, pace-wise, but work has been a freakin’ inferno for a few weeks now.
Also, you may or may not know this, but not every GM — or set of players — bites into the social stuff, the character / NPC interactions. Y’all have been *great… but there -will- be some action coming up soon. Unless you just keep choosing to solve romance, booze, and other problems! =]

Hah I didn’t mean to criticize on the pacing of the story. I meant the natural pacing of posts, if you’re used to synchronous games having one action or description per day is a big adjustment - but that’s the bit I’ve been leaning into as really enjoying as a unique thing.

Well, that’s part of what makes it such a great adventure. Many threads to pull!

Ha ha, loving the love connections all around and I am just enjoying everyone's characters, action or no.

Let's take a moment to talk about inventory in Cairn. It's pretty unforgiving. When you fill your tenth slot, you A) cannot carry more, and B) your Hit Protection falls to 0. So while encumbered, if you take a shot -- it goes straight to your STR, potentially forcing a Critical Damage save.
I personally think 10 slots is too few -- coming out of chargen, most characters have already chewed up 6-8 slots, and that doesn't lead a lot more room for treasure, better weapons and armor, adventuring gear, spells, etc. I haven't decided to houserule anything just yet, but I also don't want people getting frustrated.
Let's look at each PC.
Nessa: Is that 'Storybook' the book that Vivian just handed over? If it is, you have a few slots free still.
Wren: Quinn's Tally Stick is a Petty item, so you can track it there rather than having it hog up a slot. That should mean you have two slots free.
Sable: Looks good. You have two slots free.
Gann: Your inventory is full! That means you're loaded down and moving slowly, and that if you get into any kind of scrap -- your HP is 0. Might want to offload some things...
Open to general thoughts on the inventory system...

Yeah it’s very strict. Not as strict as Mausritter, but definitely a challenge. I don’t mind, myself. Makes for interesting decisions at times.
Wouldn’t you say the citrine is petty too? It’s a gem; I’m imagining it being quite small.
I’m also getting rid of one my starting items as a rill runner : water shoes. Dumb. That free up three , or four if the gem is petty.

Yes! It's not very big. Also, perhaps just note you left the water shoes in your boat.
