I figured you would be, but me being me, I wanted to make sure. Did not wish to assume anything. :bs If you can jump on MSN at 3 PM CST Saturday, Chad and I will be online and maybe we can get multiple turns done! :ac

Gav, same invite, only for you it will be 9AM Sunday.

@Haegan, sorry about this morning bud. Still having connectivity problems. Did not get them fixed until a few minutes ago. I will chat with you on the morrow, same bat time, same bat place. :w :bs



Cheers, Thor

Guys, I apologize but I had a personal emergency come up, so I will prolly be offline for a bit.

In the meantime I have asked Chad to take over the testing for DSA. Will you, as a favor to me, particpate in the testing with him?



Cheers, Thor

Sorry for the sudden disappearence, but I did not wish to worry you folks unnecessarily. But on Oct 24th, my mother had a heart attack and they had to do an emergency bypass operation.

So I had to scoot on down to Florida and be with her, in case she passed away. She pulled through and I came back to Minnesota to grab a few things before heading back down to arrange for her to move up here, where I can keep an eye on her.

When I was a teen I worked at an old folks home. After that I promised mom that she would never see the inside of one of those. This is the fullfillment of that promise of a boy to a parent he loves very much.

Gav and Mav, I must apologize to you. Chad told me he would run the test while I was gone. It seems my faith in him has been abused. He has not logged in since the 25th, the day I headed to Florida.

Chad, I am VERY disappointed in you. If you did not wish to run the test you should have told me so. This telling me you would do it and then disappearing is dishonorable, and I thought you were above such petty games. :fr

Gav and Mav, I will take a thumb drive full of files with me back to Florida and will try to run the test from down there. But it may be a couple of days before I can get things set up. If you are still interested in playing, please shout it out here. But I would not be surprised if you wished to wash your hands of this affair. :fr

Again, I apologize to the both of you for what has happened.



Cheers, Thor

Thanks bud. :AH I will be driving down to Florida this time, so give me until Monday to get things ready. I will take my laptop and get your turn ready for you by Tuesday, my time, Wednesday your time.

@Mav, are you still interested? Or do you wish to pass?



Cheers, Thor

One last check before I head down to Florida.

Mav, I will have your turn ready on Tuesday also. :AH

Guys, I must apologize, but the hits just keep on coming.

Tuesday morning, my uncle Buddy, mom's last brother died and that sent ma into a severe bout of depression. And with that I cannot afford to do anything but keep an eagle eye on her. :fr

Mom, at one time had seven brothers, and as of Tuesday she now has none. With her severely depressed, still recovering from the bypass surgery, and my mental exhaustion, I cannot guarantee anything getting done, game or writing wise. :vs

This will, in all likelyhood, bt my last contact with you all for quite a spell. I am worried that the depression and her pain from the surgery will cause her to lose the will to live, and pass away.

I pray to god to let it not be, but every human has a breaking point.

If Chad ever shows up again, please pass this information on to him. Thanks



Cheers, Thor

hiya guys, i built a dice roller for this, and will modify it to better serve for this game. I can roll up to 9 sets of dice, with each set returning a value of up to 2 billion. That should handle most rolls i think!

Now i need to see if i can have a save function for the dice, so it will load up a d6(etc) as default instead of only d4.

Hey folks, my sojourn through the underworld is finally through.

Sorry to see not much was accomplished DSA wise. :sad

Any reason why, if I may be so bold?

If anyone wishes to chat I will be on MSN most of the day.



Cheers, Thor

Ok, so I gotta ask, is there any interest in continuing with the playtest?

If so, can someone please fill me in on how far you got and what has occured in the game?



Cheers, Thor

Thor,

I'm still in but I'm going to need at least another week before I am ready. Our Project is going up before Government for approval to move onto the next stage of acquisition so things are hectic as all. I will still drop in each day for a few minutes to check and see what is happening.... All I can say is roll on Christmas
