Poll will close within 14 days.

Pender, Game Master (GM)

How to “rate” the GM, their Duties:
• Post Rate
• Notify Players via Hangouts of new posts.
• Be available to Players.

☞ Maintain a GM post rate at a minimum of one adventure post per week.

☞ Be available for IM chat at least one day a week.

Note: The above is used to “rate” the GM. I hope that I succeeded you all in the mission of being your GM. Additionally, I hope that I presented a fun game. I look forward to more story with the current cast of characters. Please, when you vote, post a response saying you voted.

Hey guys, sorry this quad has been a bit of a down turn. Can one get burnt out GMing SR??? I sometimes feel like I could use a bit of a break. In short no worries if you rate low, or want the game to end. I think I got enough in me to get us through the three way fight we got coming, but I think after that I’ll be taking a bit of a break until the new books get finalized. Then I’ll be resuming two new games with novice characters.

I Know I have been with the group a short time and I can't really tell you from my point of view about how long this has been going on. I don't mind continuing and even playing short scenarios for a few while we get ready to switch to SWADE . this might help everyone get use to the new rules., or differences if the GM wants.

Ghosting as an action no PP.

• Psychic awareness leads many to the ability to sense the feelings of others. This empathy allows your psionic to determine the general emotional state of another being within Smarts range by making an opposed Spirit check. On a raise, she can tell if another character is lying or being evasive in a conversation
• He always gets a strange tingling in the back of her neck when things are about to go all pear-shaped. She’s seen enough trouble to know when it’s coming. Your character has the Danger Sense Edge.

@Pender Lumkiss -
Thanks for allowing me to play my first character on the site. Really, I ahve no desire to see Architect go but at the same time, it may well be the way to end a unique character.

I am looking to stay in at least one of your games. I like your style and the feel that every GM post of EPIC proportions is hard to ignore.
