I'm a technical writer by trade -- a fiction writer by dream.

It would seem that we need a new Caelum player or else have Caelum set to AI as well. He has missed 4 of the last 5 turns.

Always seems sad and strange to me when a player just vanishes. I'd like to eventually find a group of proven players who will stick out games to the end, and have a sense of humor / penchant for roleplaying since that helps makes the games memorable.

It is wierd to me how players just suddenly disappear and stop posting, like HJFudge who was in 2 of my first MP games - then simply dropped off the radar screen.

Where are you HJ???

I know what you mean, Don. I think it is a drawback of newbie games -- players are perhaps not sure if they like the game longterm or not aware of how much time it takes until they've played a couple games. And life gets hectic.

Caelum had assured me he was still playing, put in a turn, then staled twice again. If I don't hear from him & don't get a player offering to replace him by the deadline this turn, I will AI Caelum until another player offers to take it over.

Please, everyone let me know if any extensions, subs, or replacements are needed. I am happy to help a player out if they need some time to get a turn in.

My advisors have ...advised ...that a large war host of wave lords recently raided a northern shoreline, only to be pummelled on the beach by only a few mutant giants. The triton lords are not impressed.

There is much rejoicing throughout Hengewood this month as finally, after six months of on and off sieges by fish men and giants, the capital of Tir na n'Og is free. Down to their last bits of hardtack and crayons, the citizens of the great city celebrate by feasting as food is at last able to make it in from the countryside. One elf in particular, the Chief Thundermancer Tomasin, is held in high regard for lead ing the tiny defence force to victory with her cabal of mages. When all seemed lost and the elven army to far away for aid, it was she who pioneered the BOOM LIGHTNING LOL defence tactic that saved Tir na n'Og from destruction.
Unfortunately she has, some say, celebrated a bit too much, especially in regards to food. Some might say it is hard, or even impossible, to gain 400 pounds in one month, but it is not, apparantly, for a hero of the elves. She now sequesters herself in her room gorging on lembas and writing emo poetry on the loss of her fabled beauty. What this means for the future of elvenkind is uncertain, but The Morrigan is pissed, to put it mildly.

In other words, getting heroic obesity on your A5 Thunderstriker sucks ***. 7 encumberence ftl... I wish there was some way to choose heroic abilities for your guys, my mages seem to get heroic obesity a lot.
At least she didn't get heroic stupidity...and her fat will protect her from stray arrows.

LOL!!!

Don't worry, her increased girth makes her that much more attractive to the Niefel giants - we just need to get her some cold resistance!

A clash of mighty armies and uneccesary loss of life was luckily prevented last turn - the Triton Lords decided to take an extra turn to muster their troops in the attack on the Fomorian Capital. However, Agarthan troops beat us to the prize!

Be careful when your rotund Thundermancer is out walking in the forests, TNN - Tien Chi may send their shiny new Tartarian to eat her.

What an impressive research effort!

Nystul is a bit annoyed these days. The frosty giants of Niefelheim are clamoring for a demonstration of divine power and frankly Nystul has less taxing things to do like read books about the million types of snow.

But every day his ice giants say "why can't you be like Tien Chin" "Tien Chin's pretender can harness the power of the stars" "Tien Chin can summon Tartarians" "Turn on the air conditioning" bleah bleah.

As such, Niefelheim must hereby give notice it is cancelling its 3 turn NAP with its old friend Tien Chin on this turn 47 so that it is open season on Turn 50. If nothing else this will be our first opportunity to see a real live Tartarian.
