Shadow's Rising PBP (IC thread)

[Captain Obvious]

sorry guys, i keep trying to find time to get this back up and going, work out where we are and where we're going and start this back up, but my life is so crazy right now. there's just too much stuff to even reall visist the site.

forgiveness please. (sorry foir the false hope back there)

hopefully at some point i'll have time to become a regular fixture around here again, but until then, i'm basically gone.

ok. fine by me.

So, i know that we've had a few false starts due to me dropping off the face of the earth a few times, but my life has more or less settled finnaly and i plan to start the game back up. i will be reading over the post to remind myself of where we are and dig out my notes on it.

so, if i could get a headcount from you guys and everyone who is still interested to post a quick something, that would be awesome.

it's actually gonna happen this time.

Yo! *initiates Count-off* One!

[Poseptune]

I suppose I'm here, but hopefully this isn't another false start. I have to go back through and see what my character was..

[Wensleydale]

Same here.

So, we're moving along gradually. I've somewhat reminded myself of where we are, but unfortunately lost my word doc with my notes at some point in the interim and am having trouble locating the hand-written stuff. If i can't find it soon i'll just try to work it out again.
this is still happening, though.

also, anyone seen Gwaihir around? if not (or if he is here too, maybe), if anyone wants to join we could use another person.

Okay, guys, i kno it's been a bit since my last update here, but i didn't want to restart until i had worked stuff out and decided how to do this. After some pondering, i have come to the decision that pbp on the forums just plain doesn't work. it is just far too eratic to work with a system made for quick back to back decisions, rolls and results. This is dissapointing to me, cause i don't have a d&d group here at home since i left university and i had also had big hopes and palns for this campaign. but plain and simple i just don't think it will work in this format.

On the other hand, purely roleplaying games seem to actually work better on the forums. I am not ready yet, and may not be for a bit, but once i have worked on my setting a bit more, i may want to continue this game as a just roleplaying game with no rolls, stats and crunch. It'd just be me having some guidelines on power and abbilities, and then you would just state your actions and even your results (although this second bit would only be for less critical foes and challenges. BBEG's i would have to give the story results for). I'll let you know if and or when i'd strt this, but for now i am just ending then pbp game for good (more or less) and going to just work on the fluff of my setting for a bit.

sorry y'all :sosad:
