Thanks! Must be my theme then. I need to tweak it I guess.

Hey GM. Question about Relka’s shield. Does it have leather straps that her arm is through or metal braces? I believe traditionally it was leather straps as that is more comfortable but I wanted to make sure I had the same image in mind.

Great question!  Rellka's kite shield has leather straps for the enarmes.

Clearly the dice are aware of Vaulda's ideals:
Despite my best efforts, we went wildly off plan

Ain't that the way of things! Every time I roll poorly I always look at my "I failed miserably" ideal like "yup, sure did!" ^-^'

I have written the death of my characters. I have written horrible things for my characters. Yet that was the most difficult thing I have ever had to write for a character. And also one of my proudest.

It's funny how different players interpret different mindsets. I'm so used to playing scumbag characters with my regular online group that what Vaulda would consider a very difficult decision and character growth would be another tuesday for some of my characters. And yet, Sylara would have straight up be incapable of doing it, trying to force a win and probably losing in the process.

Most of my despicable characters would never even be in that position. My non-despicables would rather die than force a disqualification. My morally grey would have done it. But I usually play older than Vaulda is, so she's still feeling out where she is on the spectrum. She wants to think she's a stone-cold badass. She's just not there yet.

Also, Happy 400 posts!

Hooray for 400! Well done team! :D

Hi all, just checking in here - my work had me get up at like 2:30AM this morning and I have been wiped all day.  Apologies for the delay; I'll get the next post up sometime tomorrow I hope!

No worries. Real life cones first, even when it sucks. Get some rest!

Hey folks - the Class Performance notice is up! Let me know if I got your courses or your study buddies incorrect.  I'll get to work on the next thread section soon.

I was thinking of using Vaulda prior suggestion to fill this next section before the Practical Exam with zoomed-out time - setting a clock and giving everyone a chance to either dictate an action that occurs (making progress on your course project for example), or to set a scene to play out (setting up an interaction between characters).

Look at those overachievers. 😀

Jk, mine look correct.

Hey all! Just wanna say that I have been a little busy and have had family around for the last week or so, and will be busy probably through this week and weekend for a bachelor's party. I'll try to step away and make my interludes when I can but more than likely I won't be back in action in full until this coming Monday.

No worries at all!  Thanks for the update Cal, and enjoy the party! :D

Should we send our actions through PM?

Either PM or in the Interlude thread works for me!

Can we use powers and effort for the rolls during the Interlude?

Sure, that's fair play!

I was not prepared for how much catch-up I would have to do this week to make up for not being around at all last weekend, but I think I've gotten my routine back under control! Sorry again for the delays, y'all.

Just glad you’re back, Cal!

Hey folks -

I have some bad news.  Several recent personal events have been affecting my posting and response speed, and have even resulted in me paring back other games I've been running. I thought I'd gotten to an equilibrium point, until Monday evening a young member of my immediate family suddenly and rapidly passed away. I am so terribly sorry, but I am not able to maintain a stable or creative head space at the moment, so I can't continue to run this game for you.

I'm so sorry.  I couldn't have asked for better players.  You all have been great.  I wish we could've finished out the game.  I feel terrible ending it like this, but I knew it'd be better to tell you than just disappear.

I'll delete the game when I'm able sometime. Sorry again.

I'm sorry to hear about your family member. Sending my thoughts to you and yours. It has been fun but taking care of you and yours is always first.

Very sorry for your loss, GM

That's awful news GM, I'm sure no words can assuage this kind of pain but I'm terribly sorry for your loss all the same. You were fantastic and prompt and always rapid to respond to any questions or concerns I had, and I'm sure I speak for everyone when I say that we'd all be truly honored to join you for another game in the future.

Be there for your loved ones the way we know you will, GM, and thank you for all the wonderful times we got to have together.
