YES! Since the beginning I have been amazed at how Jaketch has been playing to the race's strengths! I love it!

Is that your way of telling us this guy is going to kick our collective ass?
Yeah, I've been pretty impressed with it since the beginning.

Haha, Legendary Resistances aren't just for ancient Dragons. In the DMG, it details how you can give Legendary Resistances to foes of any CR if you want to distinguish them as exceptional. Bosses and such.

Or maybe he's a polymorphed ancient red dragon.

I've done the same. I had a group going up against some Yuan Ti. They would have wiped the floor with a Malison, but an abomination would have been too powerful, so I gave the Malison legendary actions and resistance.

Ha! For a moment there I thought you'd replaced your wolf with a robot!

Ha!
I laughed out loud when I read that.

In my head, I was picturing a scene of Kit-as-Skeetz weaving in and out of a crowd of 15 to 20 ruffians, changing voices and yelling a call-and-response with himself. Four. There were four of them.

Hey folks sorry for the long delay in posting. Something about McDunno's comment above took the wind out of my sails for this game. But it's time to wrap it up. I owe that to all the players who have been putting effort into this game, some of you for almost a year now.

McDunno, don't sweat it. Your post itself wasn't a big deal, just symptomatic of other issues.

I'll get things going in the next few days and anyone who wants to come along is welcome.

I'm still here! Just giving the fleeing Nightblades time to clear out before we go rushing down to the keep.

My comment above was a laugh at my own expense! Not knowing how many people were in the room has nothing to do with your descriptions, Len, and everything to do with my reading comprehension! I'm enjoying the hell out of this game! I haven't gotten this much use out of the Actor feat in I couldn't tell you how many hours of play in my real-life game, and that's entirely due to your DMing skills. When the whole set-up for the drinking contest was happening, I had a lot going on and was falling way behind in all my games. Trying to play catch-up, I didn't read things as thoroughly as I should have, and I apologize. I suppose I should have kept my confusion to myself, but I thought it was funny that I was picturing this comedic movie scene with Kit working the crowd up by pretending to be different people, and suddenly it was replaced in my head with Kit standing in the middle of four guys trying to talk out of the side of his mouth in a falsetto, "I say we let him go!"

For what it's worth, I knew you were laughing at yourself, and I also thought it was hilarious!

I know you were laughing at yourself, McDunno. Like I said, don't sweat it. It is more the sum total of disruptions that have occurred during the course of this game, many of which had nothing to do with you. It's more that I'm frustrated with PbP as a whole.

PbP can be a bit frustrating at times. Anything specific that's dragging you down?

I know the feeling with PbP. All of my games have slowed to a crawl. I'm not in very many (which I feel I have to say since, you know, Jabes is standing right there, and I think he's currently in more games than I've played in toto). It gets frustrating, for sure. I'm guessing it's summer, so people have a lot going on. The same thing happened last summer in a long-running game I'm in. There'd be silence for four or five days, someone would chime in, a flurry of activity would follow, then another several-day silence. This is not to be confused with the Dwarven game Len, Jabes, Hypco, and I am in. That one long ago moved out of the "frustrating" category into the "wait, this is still going on?" category.

Probably just need to take a break from DMing for awhile. I'm loving the games I'm only a player in.

Also looking forward to running Traveller. It's a "going back to my roots to rediscover my passion" kind of project. Nothing will change re: PbP pitfalls, but at least it's a change of genre. My fantasy genre creativity is waning.

It's the final boss fight and Torden STILL can't catch a break! :-P

I feel your pain. I'm having issues keeping up with everything. I am in sort of a burn out phase right now and don't have the motivation to consistently post. It'll pass and then I'll be back to it.

I found that changing genre (or at least system) helps out tremendously.

Heading out camping tonight, will be not posting much until Monday.

Phew, managed to do the end of round 1 but had to do the entire thing on my bloody phone because of various technology fails and the fact that my summer job blocks gamers plane. It might not look like much but it took 45 minutes and many frustrations. If you see any mistakes, please let me know.

I feel you! I'm often forced to post on my phone, which is fine for short ones but if you need to do rolls, spoiler boxes, formatting and such, it's a huge pain!

Enjoy your trip! :-)

Hey everyone, sorry for the delay. Mostly a result of being forced to post from my phone at a park bench when at my summer job since the filters are much stricter and reception terrible. I spent an hour this morning typing up the whole round summary complete with rolls for Ryvid amd the monsters, formatting etc. only to get a "server hangup" error and I don't have time to type it all up again before my class starts. I just wanted to let you all know that the delay is not from lack of interest or lack of trying - I am failing, but I am not giving up. Hope you guys are still in it.

Thanks for your patience. Hopefully this posts.

You know me, I'm always around even when I shouldn't be. Let me know when it's Torden's turn. At the very least I'll tell you my intended action even if I can't actually write a proper post.
