DreamLyrics™ Play-by-Post Forums Hall of Fame - Latest Top 10 completed games HWD: The Heartwood HWD: OOC Chatter

Apologies folks … it was a very hard week – I worked my 40 hours even taking in the days off for Thanksgiving and Black Friday. That and somewhere along the lines I strained some muscles in my back making typing a painful thing. With luck I’ll be able to rest up and get back into the swing of things over the rest of the weekend.

Is it still possible in the scale of things for Kadri to catch up with her sister at all before she leaves?

Since the person who FREAKS OUT over time anomalies is on hiatus, I don't see why Kadri shouldn't get a chance to chat with her sister.

Earlier in the Day
Ah, headers such as these can be a beautiful thing when they're not overused, eh?

It's a scene I wanted to intersperse, and honestly, none of the mercenary troupe stuff would impact on it.

'Twill nae matter te me if ye'll be backfillin' a wee bit, as th' backfillin'll be happenin' as Dazi'll be returnin' from her mornin' prayers or mayhap breakin' her fast with Kisa. Sure, an' will I nae be on hiatus?! 'Twill nae be m'self who'll be needin' th' convincin'.

<shrug>

As I'll hae said te Zeim, if there'll be overlappin' in th' threads regardin' timin', I'll be considerin' there te be multiple dimensions upon th' Heartwood, an' ye'll hae been in one that'll nae be th' one Dazi'll hae been in.

Oh, an' I'll nae be translatin' th' Moira-speak, fer th' lass'll be needin' te stay in me head so she'll be finishin' her part o' th' BTS story.

It is finished. It was painful. (Sorry, Wolf dear... but it was.)

All Heartwood related documents have been updated. All current players should check your stats sheets... your stats have changed! The document format has changed somewhat and should be easier to read. I hope. You tell me. Under the hood, I got rid of all the 1990s code and implemented the use of CSS. The Main Page is now HTML, not Flash. I may bring the animation back, but it will be with HTML5 and CSS, and maybe a dash of jQuery and Ajax. The file names and locations have not changed, so if you have anything bookmarked it's still exactly where you left it. If everything looks the same, you'll want to refresh the page and/or clear your cache. (I've semi-implied to some of my fellow ITS folks that I'm going to write a song called Clear Your Cache to the tune of Let It Go. We'll make the on-hold music for the Help Desk.)

If you have any questions or problems with the public pages, lay 'em out here. If you have a question or problem with your personal character pages (stats, cult file, background file if applicable), PM me. Do check your stat sheets, please, and let me know (in PM!) if anything looks really out of whack. Although I had Super OCD Woman staring over my shoulder the entire time, I'm not perfect. (I know... you're all shocked.)

This is the largest project I wanted to complete before returning. I'm getting there. But Wolf was overly optimistic (like... insanely) when he implied I'd be back in February. March looks possible, but I'm not promising anything. It still depends on stuff.

All looks nice.

I'm presuming now, if she wanted, she could probably update her equipment and, for example, carry more coin should she want.

Well, now THAT would be a question for the GM.

How do I get to my character sheet? I have a copy of the old one but no link to get to the new one. Thanks!

Kel - I believe (IIRC) that Mikal chose to use the lump of Darksteel to create a Short Sword and a Main Gauche, rather than a Broadsword. It took up about the same amount of volume of metal. PC sheet shows it as Broadsword.

Fixed it. Thanks for pointing it out. That whole passage was rather confusing to me.

Well. Let me think a while. I'll try to think of something to do.

Kel - I don't see a change?

<glares at Internet> Apparently, for some reason (possibly having to do with someone rebooting the router while I have programs open, but maybe not) Dreamweaver has decided not to automatically upload files when they're saved. And here I thought it was just my site misbehaving.

I'll upload when I get home. Rest assured you no longer have a broadsword, and your short sword and main gauche are made of Darksteel.

Does Bekkah get darksteel weapons too?

Kel - he does have a broadsword. It's just a normal steel one. The rest is correct, thanks

Lady Attera would smite Bekkah. Pretty sure you don't want that, what with her being all pious and such.

I'm confused again, but it's probably because of the database cleanup I'm doing here. I'll fix all the things later.

FYI Update:

March isn't looking good. Maybe April!

Thanks for the Calendar, Kel. Very nice. I presume, from how I am reading it, that the seasons are of different lengths? i.e. It would appear that "Dry" is fairly short.

Yes. I had first thought they were all the same length, even after reading all the background materials many, many times. Visuals are so important!

Dry is the shortest season (6 weeks), Storm is not much longer (10 weeks), while Spring and Harvest are the longest (both being 17 weeks long).

Yes, very pretty.. and very clear! Thanks!

Is there a statement or phrase appropriate for this world which would be equivalent of "A wild card"?

House Koromov

However, one doesn't refer to an individual that way, really ...

Possibly of the House Koromov, although I don't know how well that would go over when talking to a Koromov about someone who isn't a Koromov.

As steadfast as a unicorn is the common phrase used when referring to something unpredictable. A Dayalan would certainly say as steadfast as a white unicorn. (And anyone who has had the "pleasure" of meeting a Dayalan's unicorn might well do the same. Or not. Might be best to do so if said unicorn is standing close enough to mash your feet.)
