Out Of Character

Happy Birthday!! You're catching up to Highbough in years...

If I have half the wisdom of Highbough at his age, I'll consider myself blessed.

Everyone doing alright lately? Seems like we've dropped off a little bit. I'd like to push just a little to maintain our pace; it's easy to slow down, but harder to keep up. WOTE, are you feeling any better?

Thanks for checking in Ehiker.
I'm doing much better, thanks, but I too have noticed our game has essentially slowed to a halt in the last month or so.

I have been mulling over what to do about it, and I think now is a natural moment to park it.

There was never any real need to do this whole thing end to end in one hit, so I feel that the play testing to date has been a success.
Which is to say: I've already learned enough from the first two episodes (game topic areas) to keep me busy updating/improving/preparing those areas for production.

There's no reason we can't come back later and try out some of the other sections.
There is also no reason why we have to test every individual section, or to do them in any specific order.

So, let's cool our heels for a bit, and come back to it when we're a bit more fired up for it.

Thanks All for your valued participation in the leading sections.
I had fun, and it has already helped me improve Wyrmspear in a number of subtle and interesting ways.

Good work All!
Stay safe and check in here from time to time

Good game!

I'm always up for a romp through the Waysoftheearth Cinematic Universe.

Looking forward to the next adventure.

First rule is, it's your game you get to call the shots. I do not mind the lulls so much as long as everyone is enjoying it. I know the that last month has been busy for me personally and I have not tried to push things forward. Having said all that, I had a blast with what we played and I do want to see what kind dragon/reptile thingy's are in the lower levels.

Sorry that I was one of the ones who dropped off. Just a combo of a slow-posting game and a lack of email reminders. I'd be up for more if we can figure out why the site refuses to send me notifications!

Ditto what Mike said.

I'm ALWAYS happy to play in a WOTE/Hinterlands game, even when it means having to play "Goldwen" (It's just a name thing in this case, I'm fine playing a female character; after playing a two-headed halfling for two years, I find that I can get in the head space (or space of TWO heads) of almost any character and BE that character without much trouble. It was just weird to type "Goldwen" after 35 years of reading "Goldmoon"...).

I had a similar issue with not getting notifications from the Unseen Servant boards so I switched from my Gmail account to my Yahoo account and now I get all the reminders.

I did the same thing with this board and I got notice of ehiker's post just now so fingers crossed that works here as well.

I know google changed some requirements on emails last year. You must either have an SPF record or the mail must be signed with DKIM key. Immersiveink.com has valid SPF records so it should pass.... The FROM email should show an immersiveink.com sender. I've tried everything I can think of, I am sorry there are still issues on this.

Well, I'm 2 for 2 in receiving emails from wote@immersiveink.com at my yahoo.com address, and I've had zero issues with Unseen Servant since switching emails there, so at least there's a workaround, if not a fix.

Not your fault Mike!
