Me too.

I have enjoyed playing and wish I could continue. This is a good group of players and I like my character. I'll be back playing pbp once this thesis thing is over and will keep an eye on the Crafty Forums from time to time so I'll see you guys around. I'll probably get one more post in but as noted above I have set a hard deadline of Thursday Eastern Australia Time.

p.s. Original ideas are over-rated. Settle for a well executed hommage.

On the final hike to New Town Lord Vei asked many questions about the Granite Beasts but as the group comes over the last rise he goes quiet raising the Imperial Standard and searching the shore.

Vei is looking anxiously for his ship the “Allure of Duty

Sorry to see you go. Just don't kill your character off. Maybe there is a possibility to step in again after you have gained your PHD. 

Nice to be appreciated. Once the damn thing is written (there is already talk of an extension, which common in Aus. 3yr PhDs) I will be seriously hankering after some game time.

I have sent Nuaurpy a PM with a suggested exist strategy for the character.

!re nods to Craftylove “rI wrill trake tre trirst wrat rand gret rus ron mrore ror lress tre right treading” then turns and waddles up the stairs for the deck before the others can respond.

I will take the first watch and get us on more or less the right heading

Here are a bunch places. Some are just good visuals others are also tactically interesting. The bamboo would provide cover to everyone not on the path, Imagine a pteradactyl attack scaling Mount Roraima, or trying to assault a dragon lair in Tianzi Mountains,

Well the second option seems smoother and you get to keep Physeter on as an NPC which is good continuity.

You have probably noticed my post rate dropping off the last month of so and that from the get go my post rate can be a bit patchy. This is because my real-world life is busy and a little unpredictable. With only 6 months to go on my PhD. I have decided that I need to clear the decks. I’m going to quit all pbp games to free up time and head-space for writing the thesis and doing experiments.

Rather than just vanish my intent is to run my character until there in a logical place for them to exit the story but for no longer than a couple of real weeks.
I’d like to apologise for withdrawing but I think this is something I need to do.

Lord Vei troops along behind Salvor his handsome angular face scanning about. Occasionally he stops and picks a flower or catches a beetle carefully selecting anything that looks uncommon. Each speciment is carefully folded into  sheet of paper and these makeshift envelopes are stored away with the copious notes the lord has been taking whenever a few minutes of quiet time can be had.
When the party stops Lord Vei listens to the others. Your advice is noted Collurio. I trust in your judgement of your own woodscraft. I will stay behind for now, stealth has never been my forte Master Vei waves his ornate Imperial standard to illustrate his point. Should you need me, just call . Vei looks then to Salvor, obviously expecting the man to make the call for the non-imperial-citizens.

For completeness the Resolve asked for way back there: 1d20+10=12 no point trying to resist really.
Still to come Gift Basket. Finding the time to do all the rolls has been hard recently.

!re listen to the story barely understanding it. The language is the common tongue used by many of his buccaneer fellows but the tone softer and the vocabulary odd.  Is 'civilised' some kind of religeon? Is a 'manor' some kind of idol? !re's fish-people did not have religeon, things just were, maybe the superstions of sailors and land dwellers differ? Certainly these land-folk speak differently to his old crew so it makes seems that there are at least two cultures of these odd creatures.

Imagine everything you knew you learned by watching Pirates of the Caribbean.   

There was only one animal on Arrakis large enough to provide the skins for the drums...

Physeter might be lying still waiting like a good soldier but his mind is working Why were the wildtypes made machines and not I, am I a clone, is there a Transmech out there somewhere with my mind? A nuclear submarine with my instincts and training would be a significant threat to someone. but he holds his tongue at least until the room has been secured.

Posting every third day is probably a more realistic pace for me at the moment. I could do every second day though.
