LMoP, PbP game, lobby thread...

[DavidBoren]

Hoping to get back into our PbP game, so I figured I'd post a thread to use as the background discussion thread/character lobby. I will leave the In Character thread to be posted by the GM.

I remember us leaving off having spoken to the abomination in the cave, it said that our most fabulous Saxophone music may have alerted the others... the abomination slithered down into the chasm... and the party has exited the cave, out the same way we entered.

I believe that the plan was to possibly attempt an ambush at the mouth of the cave, but I know for sure that we didn't want to get trapped in the cave if the redbrands sent people around.

I don't remember if I actually did it or not, but I intended to have Ivan do somekind of Russian Yodel before he exited the cave to draw the attackers attention even more.

[DavidBoren]

Ivan did, indeed, yodel...

And then...?

So I will level with you guys. I'm currently dealing with a 15 year old daughter that Is loosing consciousness and no doctor in VT or NH so far can tell me why, and a dad who is on an urgent list for heart surgery.

I just don't have the mental capacity to pick this up right now. We can wait. Someone else can pick it up and run with it, or a new game can be started. But I sadly have to say that I just don't have the cognative capacity to make this A+ for you guys. If you are willing to deal with a C grade game I can do it... But thats the best I can offer you right now.

[DavidBoren]

Oh shit. No worries. Life is more important.

[Nish]

I hate to be a downer but, I owe it to you guys to be honest and all I have is going to what I am currently maintaining.

[Grendel]

No issue Nish family always comes first. We wish you and your family only the best.

[mtaylor]

Thanks for the honesty.

I’ll take over GMing if people are interested in that, we can pick up where we left off and have a body swap between Egold and someone who wants to join in. My group has kinda fallen apart since we all lost our jobs and moved, so I have a dm shaped gap in my life.

[DavidBoren]

I would love to keep the campaign alive.

Didn't we have a fully rolled up Barbarian waiting to join the group?

I am not in a position where I can GM another game. I am already GM for a Pathfinder Kingmaker campaign, and I am assembling materials for a gestalt Skulls and Shackles mega-campaign... needless to say, my free time is spent.

[mtaylor]

I see a cleric in the dnd beyond campaign that I don’t know, that could be our extra player. Michaelbuetow sound familiar?

[Nish]

I'd be ok with you taking over. I could leave you guys to it or try running a character instead, a single personality is easier to keep up with than... everyone but the PC's. A few people said they wanted to play and never participated. I believe the Cleric is one of those but don't remember.

I don't see Maxi in the DnD Beyond link.

[Grendel]

Neither is Pique, I'll work on that I've never used DnD Beyond my days of DnD are way back in from the beginning with Chainmail -> D&D -> AD&D 2nd Ed. This is all done in person with paper . I'll work on getting Pique in DnD Beyond tonight.

Nish if you can swing being a player I would be more then happy to have you along. It might serve for a few minutes of disconnect for your day to day stresses. We've already been pretty slow on responses and no one seemed to mind on the old forum so we can do this without a lot of pressure.
