My father won't install Hamachi and I have absolutely no problems with his reasons, so I won't be joining after all.

I'm curious, what are the reasons?

So, I'm guessing we aren't playing today?

Guess not.

[NewsMuffin]

Well, that sucks. I probably wont be able to next time because I'm guessing it's safe to assume that we aren't playing on Christmas Eve, and I get back on the 31st.
Damn. I may be able to play on the 31st, I have no clue.

We won't be playing on Christmas Eve, no.  Honestly, I'm not sure I should have even let this get going again.  By the time it had actually gotten on its feet the thread was a few months old and I wasn't really interested in it anymore.  My inspiration for the campaign has kind of dried up, and it's hard to make good encounters for a game like this where one bolter burst will kill pretty much anyone including the PCs.

Well that's a bit disappointing after we spent all this time learning to play and preparing.

Sorry :|  I'm not saying it's dead or anything, I'm gonna do what I can.  I've still got cool ideas I don't want to go to waste, I'm just having trouble forcing those ideas onto paper.  But, we've got two weeks, I'll probably be able to whip something up by then.

Remember the first rule of DMing any roleplaying game: The rules are secondary to the fun.

If the default enemies are too weak, make them tougher. If the enemies do too much damage, weaken them a bit. You are not beholden to the rules, they are just a framework for us to have fun. Trust me, I've been DMing various games for years and I have never met a rules system which adequately covered every eventuality, or managed to make every challenge fun.

Speaking from the one session I had with you, I think you're doing fine and once we get the rules ironed out it will flow much more naturally. For example, the thing about our darklight vision or whatever from the helmets: You didn't want us to see that far. That's fine, just say there is a weird jamming effect which is obscuring the visor's sensors. Next time it might work perfectly. I do stuff like that to my players all the time for the sake of the plot or specific encounters which I want to do somewhat differently from the rules.
