Mutants & Masterminds: Struggles of Iannin - Table Talk - Fifth Age of Iannin

[Ouroboros]

Nothing to say you couldn't do so and let Sur correct you ... but as you wish

[Ira Sagebrush]

Ah true, well if Adrian doesn't post this evenin', then I shall, perhaps.

[Adrian Moss]

Now I'm waiting on Drage. He should have as much fun negotiating as I have.

[Forge]

My wife had surgery today. She is (mostly) fine, but it may be a day or two before I can get a post out, she needs me for just about everything right now.

[Ouroboros]

Sorry to hear that, I hope she's ok.

[Adrian Moss]

Ditto Man. I wish her a safe and complete recovery.

[Ira Sagebrush]

Wife is ambulatory. Aside from forcing me to an early bed from her couch surfing, my posting during the week shouldn't be affected.

Until her next surgery that is...which will be more intense. I will give info as I have it.

[Ouroboros]

I'll post tonight, I have a short work day today to get everything done because of a scheduled visit to the torturer dentist

[Ouroboros]

Adrian, please make a note on your sheet that Sur spits lightening and not fire, it's not on there currently. Also effects with the area modifier don't require an attack roll, just FYI

[Ouroboros]

I'd like to get a post from Sur in response to Drage's before I post again.

[Ouroboros]

I'm glad that my setup for the next chapter was discernible (hopefully not too obvious though). With the holidays coming up and Chapter 1 at the end point I had envisioned I am going to wrap things up this week and we'll take a break over the holiday. I'll be out of town for the weekend so I'll probably kick off Chapter 2 middle of next week. If I can't do that I'll let you all know.

[Ouroboros]

Here's the deal, the skinny, the biz-niz ...

I fully intended to post up a closing post for chapter 1 last night. That was before I got in a car accident on the way home. I'm fine, the car is driveable, but all fucked up, and I'm just in a shitty mood as a result. I obviously didn't post last night, and I probably will not do so today either. I'll be away from home until Monday or Tuesday. Assuming I don't decide to do something at my folks' house I'll close things out next week and then regroup and see about starting the next story arc.

Hope you guys have a good holiday.

[Adrian Moss]

The important thing is that you are alive and whole. It may be expensive, but everything else can be replaced. Have the best Christmas you can.

[Ira Sagebrush]

Whoa, sorry to hear about the crash, but very glad to hear you are okay. Having been in 6 wrecks myself, I can sympathize. (I used to have a really bad lead foot.)

Take what time you need, the Holidays bring more important things to mind than us lowly web-friends. Plus...I have SWTOR and Skyrim to keep me warm at night.

[Ouroboros]

Thanks for the well wishing and understanding. Looks like insurance will be taking care of it all.

I'm going to close up the first chapter in a little bit (hopefully, I just need to write it up). I'd like to start the next in a few days but I want to get feedback from you both first. What did you like about the first part, what you didn't, what worked and what didn't. Please don't hold back, as that won't help anybody. Additionally I'm hoping that Titan will resurface post holiday and we can look at adding a third player. I'm open to suggestions there as well in terms of how to add in another player or two, my only sticking point is, and shall remain, that I want people expressing interest in playing to be willing to commit to the daily posting rate. If I had a choice of 2 players posting daily, or 4 posting 3 times a week I'd still take 2 players posting daily.

[Ouroboros]

ok, post is up, if you have something to add please feel free, if not, that's fine too.

[Forge]

I liked how fast it moved, it was easy to remember what was going on and keep the mood straight of my character. I liked that we had combat and challenges and yet it didn't slow anything down or stall the game.

The only thing I didn't like was that sometimes Adrian's posts seem out of whack with what was going on. I'm not sure if it was player confusion, the need to get a post up or what, but it didn't make a interfering impact and was alright to roll with.

AFA bringing in another player, I'm more than happy to (as you know) and depending on the concept, it wouldn't be that hard. They could be a contact that has info for us...or knows a way through an area we have to traverse or perhaps they are looking for the same thing we are and we just team up. I really don't like PC glow (O HAI random person, you look the adventuring sort, would you like to join our party and be trusted as a life long friend?) But I'm willing to give into slight amounts of handwavium so that they can join.

[Titan]

I'm here, I'm here. I just haven't had the time to make heads nor tails of the character creation. I made one, but I'm pretty sure it was a turd, and I've been either wrapping presents, shopping for batteries, or helping unwrap the bastards and shopping for batteries again. I'm pretty whupped. (4 kids) I'll give her another go tonight, but no promises.

[Ouroboros]

No worries man, I figured the holidays had you running about like the proverbial chicken sans head. Like I said, if you have questions let me know, here or by PM, M&M has a pretty sharp learning curve at the start.

[Adrian Moss]

Sorry about that, D.They've been playing with my meds the past few months. Seems I need a wake-up pill, but that leaves me edgy, so they give me a go-to-sleep pill. Which leaves me groggy, so they give me a stay-awake pill, which keeps me up at night (once I've fallen asleep), so now I'm also on a stay-asleep pill. Four more pills = much fun.

My posting will be a bit hit and miss until the 2nd when the kids go back to school.

[Ouroboros]

Sorry to hear about the crazy meds Adrian, that sucks. Good luck in finding something that works for you and doesn't turn you into a zombie.

No worries on posting, I'm going to be busy this week as well and I want to take a little time to make sure I take any criticism you guys give me into account before I start.

Like I said, not a huge deal. I'm much happier to have someone that keeps up rather than a game just between Jim and I. Just being honest and open, I'd hope that anyone that had problems with me would poke me in the proverbial eye and tell me too.

[Ira Sagebrush]

Updated sheet. Spent a point turning my armor continuous. It only took one since evidently the armor was already negative by the formula. Once I get another PP, I'll turn it permanent like I wanted it to be.

[Adrian Moss]

If allowed, I'll led you the PP. I've got no plans for it right now.

[Ouroboros]

Permanency is a flaw, but I'm not really sure it should be applied to your armor. Let me think on it.

[Ira Sagebrush]

I didn't know it was a flaw, no worries. With continuous, it can be activated and I'll just never turn it off.

[Adrian Moss]

I'm not sure who's up next. Does Ouroboros respond, do we get together, or do I respond to my vision?

[Ouroboros]

respond to my reply to your reply ...

I'll run you guys separately until you either decide to seek each other out, or I can guide you two together naturally. So long as you both continue to give me enough to work with I can slow play things as needed.

[Ira Sagebrush]

This storm/vortex thing. Is it like a whirlpool in the sky, or does it have like a tornado like thing that touches down somewhere? Guesstimation on size? Does it appear to be close or far away?

[Ouroboros]

there is a funnel connecting it to the ground/surface

from your vantage guessing size/distance is difficult/impossible

[jameson (ST)]

Adrian, I need to ask you to update your post. I'm not really sure what Sur is doing next, if he's just going to sit around praying, that's fine, but I'm not sure what you want him to do and I don't want to puppet him. Thanks.

[Ouroboros]

I'll be updating today, probably at lunchtime. Adrian, if you can update your post as I asked above I'd appreciate it, otherwise I'll muddle through somehow.

Thanks

[Adrian Moss]

A bit of puppetry is in order as I'm not sure where to go, thread-wise. I believe Drage is coming to were Sur is, we may be good after your post.

[Ouroboros]

As I understand it you're at the Temple of the Winds at the moment (though I could be wrong). Certainly close enough for me to force things together, but I wasn't sure if you had something else in mind, so I figured I would ask.

[Ouroboros]

looking your post over again I'm just going to assume that you're at the temple of the Light. In the future though I'd appreciate a little more specificity, just to help me stay straight.

[Ouroboros]

He began to make a mental note as to what was needed before they went. He had his axe, but he would need other weapons before leaving. His armor? Well, it was too hot to wear it, but it was worse to be killed without it. Food would be scarce. Hunting wasn't Sur's strong suite. He would make do, as he always had. In the past, he had survived to survive. Now he was preparing to survive long enough to accomplish a Greater Good.

That seems excessive for a walk across town.

[Adrian Moss]

Yep and nope. Sur is thinking about leaving the city as he did last time a quest-thing came up. If he doesn't have to leave the city, he's done no harm. If he does have to leave suddenly, he will be prepared.

[Ouroboros]

heheh, I can't tell if that pessimism or optimism

[Adrian Moss]

He's an old soldier. It's neither.

[Ira Sagebrush]

I'm sorry I haven't posted, but I have a double whammy of maybe taking my wife to ER tonight for heart issues (not going into details) and one of our friends was just diagnosed with stage 4 breast cancer.

I will post as I am able. I'm sure everyone is fine with this, but I wanted to let you know.
