All right. Just wanted to check and make sure. I don't know about the totem and whether or not my character has it or not.

Sorry for the delay, I was out at the mayan ruins all day with limited signal... Beautiful trip, I highly reccommend it.

While he's not wild about the plan, they are limited in options so Deep Fang would be standing near the base of the tree, ready to pounce on anything that falls.

I have literally failed or botched every roll in both this game and the vampire game (except for soak rolls). It's becoming really annoying now too...

To be fair, the one in the vampire game was only 2 dice... But yeah, you haven't had a lot of luck with dice in this game so far. As a superstitious fool, I would say if you type the R in Roll with a uppercase, change it to lowercase, and vice versa.

I also could say "the wyrm feels your great potential, and hinders you". If it makes you feel better.... Your good rolls will come.

Yeah, I once crit my first roll of a game, then was utterly worthless for like two pages.

Occasionally, I'll 'waste' my good rolls on damage, then fail to hit, stuff like that. It is rough though haha.

I kinda have to agree on this, CMT, but I'll go with whatever you say. I does make sense to me that a shape-changed werewolf with a canine jaw structure would make it much easier to land a bite in a fight than a human jaw structure.

I looked it up. Five is correct. And in your wolf forms, sure I can buy that even though the base difficulty on every attack in Vampire is 6 or higher... But when you're ten feet tall in Crinos, no... not buying it.

I'm not doing any house rules though, I had just said 6 for the rest of the fight, and I've looked it since then and it's still at the start of a round, so we can just move it to 5. I was simply calling BS. That's all.

If a player is absent for more than a couple of days, would anyone be opposed to me just making the rolls for them, just to keep the game from stalling out?

hayabusa, Are you grabbing the squirrel or clawing him? if you're clawing at him, roll for damage.

Psiclone and Burnheart can make their rolls. I will put the squirrel rolls up tomorrow night and hopefully we can get this combat finished quickly.

First, I didn't put a /roll just a roll
Then, I responded too quickly, and had to wait 7 seconds -- which apparently flubbed my roll again
Finally, I succeeded, and got like a million successes.

Sorry about that, I didn't want to go deleting posts because I have this unsettling feeling people will think I'm cheating somehow if I do that.

So I would like to apologize to you two. My posting for these games have been terrible as of late, and it is due to a large amount of RL issues with my health, but I am still very sorry. So if you haven't quit on me, let me say thank you. I have a treatment on Thursday, which should help my health come back rather quickly after that. Don't expect anything Thursday as I likely will be exhausted, but I am hoping I will be up for some big posts and long responses to the PM's I have to answer on Friday.

I have concluded that we lost Xian. Leaving Softpaws in charge of the pack for the time being. I have some more players on the wing for werewolf, but I haven't had time to look over them and figure out how to get them into the game.

If you would like, I can get more players for the vampire game. But I believe I can run that with just you two if you would prefer. It's up to you guys.

Again, very sorry.

Psssh, dude don't even worry about it <3

I'd noticed your absence, but it happens to all of us for various reasons, so no biggie.

We could have other pcs be shoehorned in as additional pack mates or we could meet umbral explorers, or something. Such continuity issues are easy for me to rationalize; it doesn't bother me to recon stuff.

I hope you feel better! You have my non-donominational support!!

Hugs

I'm still psuedo around... went on a 2 week vacation and then immediately started a new job running a department, so I've been a little busy. I hadn't seen much activity so I tended not to look in as often as I should have.

Don't worry about it, CMT. Do whatever you need to do to regain your health, even if it means taking more of a hiatus from these games. Good luck on your treatment and when you're ready to resume, so will I.

Glad to know you're not gone.

Two questions for you Xian. One, if we pick up activity do you think you will be able to post several times a week? I ask because things become difficult when the supposed leader is silent, and right now Deepfang is conveniently separated from the party. So if not, I can keep him separated and lost for the rest of the day. Then in the future, he just won't leave the house.

Second question, are you still watching the vampire game as well? Or did you not get that link? Are you still in it or out?

Just goes to show you how a pack can develop holes when it loses members: we had a huge Occult / Ritual guy, and a combat specialist, and now we have neither.

Still, I don't think you could have planned it better, because we very organically lost our packmates and now we have to make due -- just like would actually happen in such a situation. We do have gaps in our specialties, but we would have those gaps, so it makes sense and is actually pretty cool.

Thought that I'd share something amusing and somewhat game related that happened to me today. I was out running errands in my little corner of Mid-Missouri when I noticed that the car in front of me had Illinois plates and a dealer mark/plate holder from Elgin. Of course he or she also had a big MIZZOU (the head campus is in the city where I live) decal on their back window. I know it's just a coincidence, but I found it kinda funny.

Yeah, I've subscribed to all of the shared world threads just to be able to read the entire story without digging pretty deep in the archives if the games ever die out. And I've seen CMT post soon after myself or psiclone posted in the main thread if he was online at the time. I eventually snuck in and confirmed my thoughts.

EDIT: Sorry for the double post, I thought my little anecdote didn't post correctly yesterday.

Yeah, I knew you and Daelrog were checking up on my WoD games, so I figured you two would be the first to figure it out.

At this point we've got all the players mixed up with each other now, so I don't even hope to do anything sneaky anymore. I just have to get the interrelated story going.
