[Steerpike]

Hi - I've been extremely busy for a couple of days.

Everything should be ok now though.

It's 3am here, so I can't post tonight, but there will definitely be a new post from me in the morning, the post is ready 'in draft' just needs tidying up to post it.

[Raiko]

Sorry about my slow posting, my wife gave birth to our baby a couple of days ago – a couple of hours before my previous 3am post in fact.

Obviously things are a little hectic at the moment, and have been throughout the last couple of months of my wife's pregnancy; however I remain totally committed to both of my campaigns on this forum. If you can put up with my intermittent posts for the next week or two then things should move smoothly again after that, this isn't our first baby (far from it in fact) so I know what to expect.

I'll try to post at least once per day in each game from now on, but if I can't then I'll alternate between them so that neither story slows down too much.

I'll also make sure that I respond to any posts that you make, even if I don't move the voyage along.

Congratulations!

I hope your baby did not have any resembling features of Yog-Sothoth. Then we will live for another day!

[Laraqua]

Sorry I hardly posted. Next time I'll describing all of Kitt's vomiting in stark techni-color.

[Raiko]

I'm very sorry for holding up the game (yet again ). I was too busy to post over the Easter weekend and now our baby has had to go into hospital for a couple of days.

Fortunately it's nothing too serious, but it does mean that I'm rushing about a lot at the moment. I hope that I'll have time to post tonight once the other children are in bed, but if not then please don't think that I've abandoned the game – I will be back later in the week.

[BlackGoat]

important to remember, Family ALWAYS comes first =) I'm sure everyone will be understanding of you needing time =)

[Henrik]

Yep, family comes first!

I'm so busy with my other games and my university courses so I don't mind.

[Raiko]

Hi, I'll be able to post in a few hours time.

Thanks for your patience.

Ah. Now I see why it would be strange to have Davy Jones in Erica Carlyle's library. It's strange enough where it belongs. And here I was hoping he'd do a song, too.

Well he's vanished now, so perhaps he'll reappear in Erica's library.

I'll wait one more day to give everyone chance to see we're going again. If nobody has posted anything by then I'll continue narrating events.

[Raiko]

I've not been able to get online much for a few days, sorry.

I'll make a post soon (within 24 hours) to cover some or all of the Crossing the Line Ceromony.

So far the following players have either posted or replied to my PM:

Ghost_1971 (Callum)
Decrepit (Jack)
OrionUK (James)
Laraqua (Kitt)
Henrik (Olof)
Charles Graves (Charles)

Hopefully once I get the game moving along again some of the other players will return, but in the meantime I'll treat the remaining 4 PC's as NPC's and concentrate on the six of you.

[Laraqua]

Ten players? Imagine playing a real-life game with that many players! And I thought my five were enough to cause me Sanity checks.

Yep, it gets messy when they reach four and above to my experience.

[BlackGoat]

i'm still here and been here checking up on things...just waiting for my time to hop in =)

[Steerpike]

Pretty much been waiting for things to pick up and move on

[Raiko]

Sorry, and thanks for the PM Steerpike.

I'll be able to post later tonight after my weekly tabletop rpg session.

So that's at least 8 players still here.

I'm fed up of making empty promises, but I genuinely hope to be able to post daily again in this campaign now.

x5 con check (17*5 = 85) (1d100=100)

Of all the dumb luck

You were saying? A 7! Roll like that, I think we can assume that she's too excited to notice!
