Admin, OOC, and Launch Discussion

It's all good. No rush. Progress is progress. No need to rush to get back into the swing of things.

Agreed with this. Also willing to take things as they come so you can keep the actual game moving. Enjoying character creation and familiarizing myself with this ridiculously well detailed world.

Right!? I made the mistake of loving the world so much I wanted to run my own game when I didn't have the RL time to actually do that. Its a glorious creation that DMJ has here.

Or, as Jabes would have put it with his character in that game:

Right!? Oi made de mistake av lovin' de warrld so much oi wanted ter run me own game whaen oi didn't 'av de rl time ter actually chucker dat. its a glorious creashun dat dmj 'as 'ere.

Ahhwwww yeah! DT is back! Those of you coming back, I'm thrilled. X, Jabes... dope as hell. Welcome CB!

And to the FNG Tsavo... welcome and love the name. That's where those evil 'shaman' lions laid waste to guys building a bridge in Africa, right? Great movie--- Ghost in the Darkness? Either way, welcome!

So good to line up with you DT vets again. Looking forward to our toe-to-toe battles in the darkness or shipboard battles on a river. Good shit.

Busy at work but on soon!

Absolutely right! First person to ever recognize it (out loud at least). Tsavo also translates to "place of slaughter". I'll try to live up ;)

Yo, fellas. I feel like I have pretty good flexibility on the schedule for once this weekend, so I should be able to gradually put out some posts today and tomorrow (Sat, Sun) that I hope will get us underway.

Great to read the posts above. Thanks for all of the 5 OGs (origin Mar 2017?!) sticking with it and thanks immensely to Tsavo for joining in on this weird brand. Y'all, I've enjoyed talking with Tsavo on the offline PM and secret squirrel notes. My feeling is that this guy is a veteran gamer who knows how to bring in good story and highly developed character contributions.

With T-Save's character and Jabes' Iasu coming in as new x-factors, mixing in with the established mega-personalities of Bryn, Kray, and Thorn, and the surprise dose of seeing if Maeriks can really come back from the dead and reunite... bro, this has all the potential of being a powder keg explosion of CHAOS. Fuck yeah on that I say.

Sizhen and Trece are going to be faded out. It will be pretty obvious DM fiat, so bear with me on that in-character and out please. I'll seek to make it believable at least and perhaps interesting story pieces at best, but either way I want to get them out of active play, without just having them zombie-walk through as tag-along NPC weirdos (no offense CB and Maeriks... well, a little bit of offense. HA!) and without doing anything too dramatic to misuse Len and Hyp's creations.

more to follow.

Ha ha, so far so good. Sat down to talk with my kids about weed, and they hadn't even heard about legalization at school. Way to go, public schools.

Never heard of it. Just watched the trailer. Looks awesome! I'll be watching it tonight.

Tsavo, Ahri seems like he’s going to fit in just fine, welcome to the madness!

This is what I think of when I see Ahri don’t hate me, it seems like it fits the current theme.

Thanks very much.

And that video (and song) is all kinds of awesome.

Oh shit, our first contact with high technology!

No, man, we saw it earlier.

It’s just taboo technology because the Sar doesn’t like bows.

oh dang. I totally remember reading that post, and totally missed that. Lol. This game is so rich.

Damn straight! I remember whenever I would come back after missing a couple of days because of work or whatever, I'd be like, "What the fuck?! So much has happened already!?!

I forgot about that!

Yeah, Kray is most definitely interested in those crossbows.

Kray will have to fight Bryn for it.

If it comes to blows, Bryn will be hiding in the other room to try and get the jump on Kray.

Bows? Have fun. Maeriks has no problem with his javelins.

Yo, Players' Club. I had all day travel plus meetings after. Worse than I predicted. I'm freakin' beat - will have to delay posting 'til manana.

Ez, see if you want to send me something on this. Tomorrow at some point I'm going to send a write up that will have a situational download to represent some sort of exchange b/t Kray/Bryn and Elam. Your write up will help me steer it though. If that is good and rolls are good, there could be some extra info and opportunity. Plus need to get a feel about what these guys think of you.

Y'all, during layover and on flights I read through a large chunk of the Ep 2 narrative in a row, I think about 16 or 18 pages. That shit is pretty good when you hear it all at once and just focus on our story writing (sort of glide over the mechanics and OOC). Seems a lot different that way than even when we are playing it out.
Plus I had totally forgotten some of that ish. It felt like other people were writing it, and I didn't have anything to do with it. Does anyone remember the Egg Thief?! and Kray about to lash that mofo with a bull whip, then he got saved by good timing of an ambush, then Kray pressed him into combat service, then Bryn knocked him the fuck out when he tried to run out in terror?! Pretty funny and interesting side story, with Gibon and Amit all in it to win it, proud of their new bosses for fucking people up.
Was I drunk when I was writing that and most of the rest of Ep 2? I'm not sure I was there at the time.
