[OOC] Base Camp

[Gunslinger 19]

Eh, if we're acting out of initiative anyway, then I might as well let Syritu do the honors. :P

[Schniderman]

Alright, wonderful! With that settled I'll begin on the next update. I'm beginning to get a feel for the difference in flow between GMing and in-person game and a PbP one, and considering that different rate of progress I'm going to rearrange some of the encounters on the hex map to hopefully keep things running smoothly and give a variety of different sorts of play sooner than later.

Cheers

EDIT: New post is up, Hex map is updated, and a new house rule about using the company's scout to examine adjacent hexes! The ball is in your court, folks!

Also, since I am very new at GMing PbP, please do not hesitate to let me know if you think something I'm doing could be improved. If something is clunky, or not well explained, or whatever else, I want to know about it

[Schniderman]

Aiming for an update tonight.

[Schniderman]

Just want to let everyone know, I'm going to Victoria for the labour day long weekend, and my Internet access will be limited. Hopefully I'll be able to make do with my spotty connection and get any necessary posts up in a timely fashion, but on my tablet the formatting might be a bit below my usual standard. I hope it doesn't cause any problems, and that everything goes smoothly for everyone.

Cheers.

[Schniderman]

Alright, I'm back from my long weekend. It's been a week and a half since the last post in game, is everyone doing alright?

[Caveman]

Many apologies for the delay in posting - been abroad with bno conncections

[Schniderman]

No worries, life happens. In the future though, if you know something like that is on the horizon, a heads-up about it would be really appreciated

[Caveman]

Absolutely - and I would always do so if I knew I'd be out of connection. They'd promised me wi-fi the whole time I was away, and turns out there was none...anyhow, back to fun times!

[grenadierman]

Sorry! Me and my old friend procrastination go a long ways back.

[Schniderman]

Again, no worries.

I'd like to get the next update in by Saturday night (though that'll be right after my board exams, so if I'm being honest I might not have the energy for it until Sunday). Hopefully we'll get a post from Gunslinger in the next few days; but if not, I'll be working on the assumption that you all go to investigate the structure.

Tally Ho!

[Schniderman]

So yeah, it wound up being today instead of yesterday. Exams were killer. At any rate, the next GM post is up.

[grenadierman]

A...stone mask? hmm... don't think I've ever seen that before...

[Schniderman]

Coincidence, I assure you

[Schniderman]

I've now finished all of my government examinations, so I should have more time on here.

On the not-so-great side of things, we've had no word from Gunslinger in quite a while, and his signature would lead me to believe we likely won't hear from him soon. That in mind, I'd like to pose a question to the group: Would you rather continue as a group of three, with me adjusting the encounter difficulty to suit you; or would you rather I try to find another replacement for the fourth man?

[Xian]

Press onwards and they can come save us when things look bad!

ONWARDS!

Cheers, Xian
