It's check-in time again kids. If I don't hear from you with a week by Oct 9 I'll send emails to check your status.

I understand everyone is busy and some more than others. I can't always be here everyday myself lately though there's little I like more than if I could do that. Thanks to those who keep me informed they're swamped.

A reminder: it's almost the first of October. Is everyone ready to rp after a time of being too lax at the game? Since responses to my wondering whether any of you had any favourite fantasy ideas or tropes went largely unanswered, I'll continue as before and add to the sl from what I've been thinking about.

With October arriving, I hope my writing inspiration picks up as autumn settles into the formerly too hot nooks and crannies of summer.

-Sigi

We'll begin Day 21 on Oct 1.

I have some ideas about upcoming events during the quest. I can tell you the reason behind the green tattoos will be revealed but anything else, well you'd prefer not to be spoiled, right? Thinking about how best to organise the ideas, I wondered if you guys have any favourite fantasy ideas/tropes and if there's any of them you'd like your characters to have?

-Sigi

It's that time again to check in here and say who's present, which characters are in play, if you please.

Thanks,

Sigi

Some notes:

I'm getting ready to set up Day 19, during which the group will have the meeting of strategy and organisation. Jaime was figuring the magic folk might be able to accomplish some needed things, maybe do something about making bullets for those who need them. Or stay a little while longer and make some at a smithy's?

• Holmes and Hermione already have the idea of studying scrolls/books with attention to detail and maybe some could help them. Tyrion comes to mind. Bill can be bookish too. Will has offered to help Hermione with the scrolls.
• One of the other concerns is making travel more comfy via magical means. Warming spells on the bedding, softening spells to spare backs, etc.
• If it's canon for your character to attend, let's see their thoughts and reactions.

Also, a Remus Lupin was dropped. I picked him up orb_boggart because I realised him turning to stone or vanishing would be too much of a distraction and problem for some of our sls, not to mention one of my major fandoms is HP.

There are also dragons now. Not the dragons of Enchantia which should show up somewhere along the trip but Daenerys Targaryen's trio as well as the Khaleesi herself, so be warned!

Last but not least, thanks goes to Christie for generously writing up the daily game summaries.

And everyone who's playing, you're brill!

Any questions, comments or suggestions?

Sigi

ps: Not to worry, they won't be at Roaring Fords forever.

pps: For Gemma (and any other character liking vodka) -- does a wizard want to help Silas speed up the distillation process? EDIT Aug 10: And the volunteers are Tonks and Sirius! Thanks!

It's that time again to check in here and say who's present, which characters are in play, if you please.

There are a couple of other matters to mention.

1. In the rules I mention that I might toss an NPC into play every so often. And so far I have had a gryffin in a thread. She might show up again and others too. If any of you guys want to have an npc do something, I say go for it. Just give me some idea of who and what you're thinking about and most likely it will be cool with me.

2. Are there any favourite fantasy/sorcery tropes any of you would like to see in play in our rp? I do have some ideas which I haven't organised yet in a concrete fashion, meaning that new ideas could be used here or there without ruining any timeline. So if any tropes or any NPCs are wanted, just make comments about it in this thread too or email me. midnightheart@att.net

Thanks and keep being brilliant!

Welcome to our second home, which continues the quest of our characters. I see that Tonks and Arya are already here. *smile* I'm looking forward to seeing the others.
