I am much the same. Thoughts in my head which suddenly fade or fail to translate into words.

With that in mind, I'd probably benefit from thinking ahead about how Alyx is going to deal with Janathan next session.

[Koval]

Possibly by poisoning him?

More's the point, I wonder how we're going to deal with Unthank Remar -- Stirling's probably trussed him up quite nicely with his bandages, but it won't be all that long until he's awake again. (On such a note I'm still trying to hammer out some decent background for Stirling, as Fire Valley never struck me as the sort of place that would have a medical school.)

[MarcoSkoll]

Yes, but as you (and possibly Stirling - although Alyx may have a lie to feed him) may have guessed, Alyx might not have been entirely honest when she said she didn't know Janathan.
And the whole reason she's in this mess is that she's not actually a very good assassin. Not necessarily as regards her ability to kill people, but her willingness and how her emotional attachments affect it.

Janathan, unless he panics her again, is probably not at any great risk of Alyx killing him.

As regards Remar, it did sound a little bit like the Pistachio Grievers might have already done something regarding him. But if it happens they haven't, Alyx has an idea that could be quite fun.

Hey folks, I'm back for holidays.
If I've got my calendar right, I believe we are onto Rogue Trader again this Thursday?
In any case, it looks like I will be AWOL from 7.30-9.30ish due to show commitments, but will hurray back ASAP.
Just like last year my Thursdays will get busier closer to showtime in early November, but I'll be around for the most part in the next two months, much more likely to miss several evenings in October.

HELLO ONE AND ALL

so i have a confession to make i have become increasingly depressed over the last month i intend on going to the doctors about it sometime in the near distant future but i dont really feel up to running rogue trader at the moment. In fact for the most part i just want to hide away from the world at large (including you guys) i find it difficult to participate in DH with the gusto that i used to show and enjoy the fact that if i want to be relativley quiet and not say much i can and i actually draw confidence from that and it helps however its not possible for me to do that if im running RT and so i think that for the moment im going to be postponing RT (only for a few weeks) until i feel more mentally up to doing it

[Koval]

That's okay, Rich. I'd definitely recommend seeing a doctor sooner rather than later -- I know someone who had depression a while ago and he felt exactly the same as you do. Hopefully you'll be on top form again before long.


I'll be on Skype anyway if anyone wants to join me.

[Van Helser]

Rich,

Sorry to hear you're not yourself.  Speaking to your GP is definitely the right thing to do.  Don't worry about RT!

Ruaridh

[Heroka Vendile]

Hope things improve for you soon Rich.

In other news, I'm gonna miss tomorrow night as well - big planning meeting for scouts I need to attend. At this rate it'll be nearly two months since I last showed up!

[MarcoSkoll]

I, too, am sorry to hear about your depression.

Even if you're not up to running RT, it could help to join in with the DH if you are able, as my father's period of depression taught me a lot about how important socialising (as unappealing as it might sometimes seem) is to overcoming a depressive state. However, all sensible disclaimers like my not actually having any formal medical or psychological training apply here.

In other news, have we had that knife fight to see who will GM next yet?

[Koval]

Euan hasn't been around for me to challenge, which is a shame as I recently bought a brand-new stabbing knife. Y'know, for, er, stabbing.

[Heroka Vendile]

Did events on the Horizon Eventus (or whatever it was renamed) get wrapped up in my various absences?

As for a knife fight, I'm sure I could get a couple felling axes from the storeroom at my scouthall to make things more interesting 

But seriously, are we talking RT or DH, as there was talk about both going on before I went away.

[Koval]

Did events on the Horizon Eventus (or whatever it was renamed) get wrapped up in my various absences?

No, we're still sitting on a fifteen-minute timer before the Eventus Horizontum enters the Warp and takes us with it. Considering that was two months ago it's almost on Dragonball Z levels of time-dilation.

But seriously, are we talking RT or DH, as there was talk about both going on before I went away.

We're talking about Dark Heresy, I think, as Marco already called dibs on Rogue Trader.

[Heroka Vendile]

Re:DH it sort of depends when Ruaridh wraps up – if it's prior to mid-November (which I think is very likely from what he's said), then it's as well that I don't take over GMing as it'll mean several missed weeks in a row.

[MarcoSkoll]

I was referring to the DH, but I guess the RT is a question to be asked too. I think the original plan was for Stormgrad to run more story and I'd fit mine in somewhere in a while, but if he wants a break from running games, I'd be willing to move up that schedule.

Not that I've really got my notes for that adventure sorted out yet.

[Heroka Vendile]

RT being Rich's baby so-to-speak, I have no problem with suspending activities for a while.
