OOC THREAD

They are great quality, Tom. I am not sure if I want to mount them in a frame -or- have them for Tabletop usage? Although, the demand for tabletop usage is kind of light, as the bulk of my gaming is done here or on Roll20.

We shall see...

Are you guys interested in another meeting face-to-face over Discord? Maybe get a chance to catch up on real life things, but also have a small pow-wow about our stories here and any directions we want to go?

I have no desire to end Darkening of Mirkwood, but maybe Paul needs a break? Maybe we DO want to see if we can transition it to the new Second Edition rules? Making changes to the actual Darkening campaign is very easy - it would just be a matter of us working with new hero mechanics. With Esgalwen close to her 'retirement' and Hathcyn elevating to a thegn status, it might be a cool time to gen new PCs? Matt's PC could just be adjusted to the new mechanics.

Maybe we break away from Mirkwood for a time, to play in another region of Middle-earth, but in the same time as Darkening?

I don't know - this is all just a bit of spit-balling.

My schedule is all over the map at the moment. Likely getting a promotion which will require a move. However, if the time zone and day time group work I'd be down.

I dont think I'm ready to shelf Hathcyn, he has a lot more to do. A pause I would entertain.

Meanwhile, I'm over here with just a PDF, 'cause shipping to Australia is crazy expensive.

EDIT: I shouldn't whinge, really.  Lots of companies are setting up with antipodean printing and shipping partners, so it's much better than it was even two or three years ago.

Back from GenCon -- Free League was all about promoting the new stuff you just received.
I'm down for a Discord confab

I was hoping they would have some more announcements besides the ALIEN 2nd edition kickstarter.

Guess we'll just have to wait to see what the fall brings.

Hey guys, my mother passed away this past Saturday. It has been really busy around here with plans for the funeral. I will be reading along, but I may not be present in any post until next week.

[Telcontar]

Hey Doug, sorry to hear that. My condolences to you and your family.

[tomcat]

Thanks, Tom.

[Eclecticon]

My deepest sympathies, Doug.  I hope that you and your family are bearing up okay. 

[Eclecticon]

A new post is coming!  This I swear on the occasionally-marked graves of my ancestors!  I know what I want to write, I just need some uninterrupted time to do it.

[Telcontar]

No worries Paul.

[tomcat]

My deepest sympathies, Doug.  I hope that you and your family are bearing up okay. 

Thank you, Paul! I am sorry I missed replying to you all these weeks. I know I read this, I guess I was just caught up in things with my family.

I appreciate your post, man. We are all doing well and getting on. I miss my Mom, but I know she is in a better place now and no longer suffering.

I'm back.  Whoof, that was a long (and largely unintentional) break.  I want to finish off this story, because I do believe it's a good one, but then I think it's obvious that I need to step back from running the game for a while.  If that means we switch to a different game for a bit, that's okay with me.  If it means we let the TOR part of the forum lie fallow for a while, that's how it's going to need to be.  I'm happy to hear any other options that anyone can bring up. 

[Eclecticon]

That was a long time to wait for a very short post.
