Re marching order: I think, unfortunately, that Karlach would go up front, probably with Olegov, which is a terrible idea since he's a striker but oh well.  What about Val and Pepper behind them, and Mari off to one side so that she can at least get out in front if need be?

Use Pepper either to scout out front or have her hang back.

Hey, guys.  I'm really sorry for going quiet this last week - been kind of a tough one and I haven't been feeling very creative.  Busy day today, but I'll move things along this weekend, promise

That's ok. I've been caught up in other things myself.

Thanks, guys   I'm on this now!

The mountain pic is near my house; the "lake" is down by Valdez, fwiw.

That's so pretty!

Phone posting, yo.

Phone posting, yo.

Speaking of phone posting, I'm heading up the haul road to the north slope later today.  So depending on how far we make it each day, I may or may not be able to check in daily.  I will try!  But I should be back by Sunday or Monday - I plan to do something terrible to all of you then, so be ready for that, mwahaha.

We made it to Deadhorse!  Also here is a bear I saw.  Tomorrow's goal:  wading in the Beaufort Sea

Hey all, I've been running around this week taking care of my dad and missed the most recent posts. I should be able to jump back in this weekend.

Stupidly beautiful drive, but I'm home now and settled back in.  Okay, let's get this thing rolling again.

Hi!

So, I think we clearly need to just go on hiatus here.  I'm both back to regular full-time work and teaching a college course, so my days are stuffed and I don't have time at the moment to make a dedicated attempt at rebuilding forward momentum.  Can I suggest we table this for now, and revisit it in the spring if there's any interest in resuming then?

Chaos, if you wanted to start your game (here or elsewhere) I'd definitely be up for playing, though

Sure.

I am interested in contiuing Pepper's descent into PTSD madness. I mean, ues let's pick up the adventure when we can.

I'll post an update in my game thread soon. I am making some changes so don't get too hyped up on your characters yet.

Works for me.  Maybe a good thing for us all at the moment in terms of time and energy levels would be with something less RP and more combat focused?  Dungeon crawl or the like?

That's what I have in mind.

I will definitely not get attached to my character or give them a backstory and an extended family tree.

Yup, hiatus sounds good.  I'm working an obscene numbers of hours a week and barely have time to scratch myself. I'm going to give the dungeon crawl a miss too.
