Out of Character

I am def still interested...as some of you may already know from other games, I have had an uptick in life demands as of late which has prevented me from keeping up with my preferred level of involvement...so unfortunately I have not been terribly active...but I am still here and still wishing to remain.

Hey all I'm new to the party just thought I would introduce myself. I'm actually new to pbp games and y'all are my first🍒

Hey all!
I am excited to play with you all!
I see there has been a lot of turnover going back through this thread, is that typical?

It can be. Some GMs here, when filling a long term game, will only take established long term players because of attrition.

That said, it could also be me.

Lel, lunchmeat!
I am sure you do great!
By the looks of it, life has hit this game hard. Time to hit back!

Hi Supah & Uncle, welcome :)

hiya both!

Hey all!
Nice to meet you!
Just submitted my character and I am ready to rock!

Disagree Q...you have been a great DM...you are steady and keep the story moving as needed. Two thumbs up from this guy.

Sorry for the long pause. My weekend got away from me. Not that I was doing anything special, just binge watching Sons of Anarchy. I'll post tonight and get this Riverguard Keep shenanigans going

Binge watching Sons is hard as hell (I still do it sometimes). At some point, I'd like to find out what Felicia sees through Xestras on the other side of the wall.

Oh yea, that little dude is going to have interesting intel.

Hey everyone, I wanted to make you all aware that I very much love playing with you!
However, I wanted to make clear that some days I may have more time than others to jump in and post.
I have not abandoned the game if it has been a few days and am thinking through the game as a plod on in my overly busy life.
This game and site is my outlet of free time and I apologize to have left you in the lurch.
It is never my intention and I fully respect what we are doing here.
I give you permission to, if I have not responded in a bit and we need to move forward, move Em as if she were silently watching behind the legs of whoever is in the back and I will catch up as soon as I can to tell you what information I have gleaned from facial ticks of NPCs :P
Truly, thank you all, it is a joy to read all of your posts :P

I think this is something that happens to us all from time to time UncleCreepy. I myself am just getting back from a combination of vacation out of the country followed up by a family emergency hogging up my time and energy. Communicating with your DM's and players (if you are dming) is usually all it takes to keep people from having any issues with disappearances. The reason we play pbp is because life demands make it difficult to get in our fix on the regular at real tables. No worries...

No problem, UC. Out of combat, quiet characters are fine. In combat, I'll roll for them after a suitable wait.

Sweet, good to know! Thanks all!
Happy to know you :)

Are we out of combat now?

That's up to you. The guards are retreating. Do you let them? If so, yes, if not, then combat continues.

Supah_Dupah had been offline for 22 days. Uncle_Creepy has been having troubles staying connected.

I'll NPC them this combat, then we should discuss whether continuing with just the four of you might just be for the best.

I've kicked Supah_Dupah, and invited Silver.Hawk. I think he's got a Cleric/Monk he wants to use, but we'll see. Uncle_Creepy will also get booted once combat is over.
