Looking forward to it.

Thank you. There's just been zero game activity and no communication on why. I can be patient now.

I can't wait to get back to the ship in good spirits, I just wrote up some good roleplay material for a warp.

by K Mon Nov 10, 2014 12:06 pm

You don't Warp in Star Wars; you jump to Hyperspace.

And i can't wait to do that either, after we take care of things on the ground.

Yes, it will be nice to have some downtime on the ship after this adventure concludes. I think we'll need it for tension release, if nothing else. Assuming this hiatus hasn't killed our momentum too badly. :p

Hasn't killed mine.

I'm glad to read that. You guys are awesome. While I need the break it's always nice to know we can start up again when I'm ready.

by Kolson Fri Feb 20, 2015 11:24 pm

While I am hesitant to say we are back I am dipping my toe into restarting this game. Let's all do our best and have fun, okay?

Thanks for that, K. I hope you all recognize what my image is from.

by Kolson Sat Feb 21, 2015 8:57 pm

Sorry, no. It doesn't ring any bells.

by K Sat Feb 21, 2015 9:52 pm

Yeah, i was afraid to say it, but i'm a bit on the clueless side.

Lol. Wow, I had no idea. I haven't really watched much Adventure Time even though I've enjoyed what I've seen.

by Kolson Mon Feb 23, 2015 1:41 am

FYI I'll be posting tomorrow instead of tonight like I originally planned as I'm too tired to put in my best effort. Sorry.

by Kolson Mon Mar 02, 2015 10:43 pm

Update: I had a super fun but super tiring weekend and I'm still recovering, lol. I'll see about posting tomorrow. Certainly no later than Wednesday. Thank your for your patience.

While I recover, let's take stock of the game. Are you guys still enjoying it? Any questions or concerns? Any suggestions on how to improve the experience for you guys?

by K Tue Mar 03, 2015 12:25 am

I fell asleep at my keyboard and had a rather sinister dream, then woke up as a prisoner in my own body as i fought off a bout of sleep paralysis (repeatedly trying to shout at the top of your lungs to only hear small gasp of air coming from your throat is always fun), then once i broke free, i thought "hey, let's check if Kolson posted anything in the RP!".

And this happened about 5 minutes ago, give or take.

So am i enjoying this? Yeah, you could say that.

by Zeiss Tue Mar 03, 2015 12:46 am

Terrifying.

As for me, I am also enjoying this. Not much else to add since we just restarted. Smile

by Rory Tue Mar 03, 2015 8:28 pm

I am interested, but I'm anxious to meet the dreamer, or to see what else you have planned for...us. So, pretty much waiting for inspiration or build-up of content to get back to rocket speed.

But while we're there, tell us about your super fun weekend! What'd you do to unwind?

by Kolson Tue Mar 03, 2015 11:32 pm

My RL group met for the first time in months and we played my friend's Numenera campaign all day Saturday, only breaking for dinner. We ended up beating up a HORROR FROM BEYOND REALITY in a 3 hour slobberknocker of epic proportions. It fucked with our minds, laughed at me (which I made it pay for with a series of hard hitting psychic attacks), and made us jump and scramble over constantly shifting terrain. It was long, exhausting, and totally awesome.

by Rory Wed Mar 04, 2015 7:22 pm

I've taken a look at this Numenera. seems alright for a simple rpg, but it looks like it doesn't account for everything. As far as 'nouns', there's a Might base, a Mind base, and a "Jack" which speaks for itself, but there's no Speed base. Glaive and Nano each start out with 28 points allocated for them, with a couple put into their obvious main 'stat'. The Jack starts out with 30, but they're evenly allocated, and like the others he also has 6 to spend at the start, meaning if he wants to go all-in for Speed, he wouldn't get it as high as the Might or Nano would doing the same in their Might or Intellect respectively, even when min-maxing(which is not okay to do) with descriptors like Strong-Willed and Swift.

However, I am impressed that they came up with 30 different Action paths('verbs'). Still, I think they could have made the Tier 3 "Your Esoteries are All 'This' Now" optional or interchangeable with a different Esotery-effecting perk. Not everyone is going to want their abilities to arbitrarily become all one type. Being able to use the spell type or the tier type interchangeably might be something allowed three or four tiers later, if this is a must.
