Things are mostly back to normal on my end, and I have a few days of breathing room now. Thanks for your patience. Hope you recover as quick as possible, falryx!

Thanks all.

Between physical therapy, work, and generally not sleeping well (and getting a cold!) it's been hard to keep up. Work's also increased the stress level by about 10x lately due to a massive reorg, so trying to make sure I have the energy and time to get an update has been hard.

That said -- here I am tonight! So an update you will have. Thank you for your patience!

No problem! I hope things ease up on you soon.

Hey there -- checking in. Things are still slow as I head towards surgery on Tuesday. Post-Tuesday I'm off work for a couple weeks, so I'm hopeful that I can spend more time here then. Let me know if the pace/quietness is driving anyone crazy and I'm happy to talk through stuff and see if we can work out something else if folks prefer.

Otherwise, I'll keep on keepin' on and will be more present starting next week.

No worries mate, just focus on getting yourself sorted and we'll be here to pick up things when you're ready :)

Yup, I'm happy to wait. Take care of yourself! Surgery is no fun.

Ditto to all of the above! Take your time and get better!

Hey folks! Sorry for the false start there! Turns out sitting around resting is mentally way more taxing than I thought it would be, so I dropped off the map for a couple weeks after surgery. All is well! But I do have to continually remind myself that I have to take more like 6 months to heal up rather than 6 weeks. So in all in due course.

I figured I'd rely on these men being from less savory parts of Middle Earth where the kindness of Hobbits is not widely known. Certain in LOTR it appears that the Rohirrim, for example, still feel that Hobbits are something of a myth. So it didn't seem too far a stretch of canon to have someone convinced Hobbits were evil creatures that could curse a man... especially given a natural 20. :)

All: inclined to add a fifth here at the camp unless there's a qualm. I'd like to ensure we have a good solid base of four of you. I can also NPC a fifth from time to time to make up for drops in activity.

Thoughts? Can also keep it to the four of you if there's a preference.

I'm happy either way but 5 may be better to keep things moving

Sure thing.

I'm good with that!

Have invited Omenstar into the game. Hopefully he'll have a character done today. Based on what he picks, I'll weave him into the story-line with the porters we have afoot..

Hi Everyone!
Happy to be joining your game!

Welcome! Glad to have a chance to play alongside you.

Welcome Omenstar!

Welcome aboard.. Another Dwarf! Omen, I'll approve the character immediately so you can post as him. I'll double check to see if anything seems amiss in creation and let you know out-of-band.

Schedule has been tight for me lately with work and home items. I need to crash tonight and be up early tomorrow -- I'll strive to have an update posted then. Apologies for the delay.

Take care of yourself first! Thanks for letting us know, and this is supposed to be fun...not more work. :) Post when you have the time and the energy. This game has been great so far, and I don't mind the slow pace at all.
