We cant forget other person birthday. @CodySP, if you are reading this, happy birthday mate! Thanks for all hardwork you do in the forums.

Heya, mates, guess who FINALLY finished their finals and passed them all? THIS ONE RIGHT HERE! Now I am FINALLY going to be getting good stretches of free time to finalize my plans for new campaigns, and hopefully be able to sustain them once I get the ball rolling! Though given how slow things are around here now in days I think most of us are used to sitting in for the long haul, eh?

But enough of that - my friends do you have any announcement you'd like to share too? Good news does deserve to be shared and amplified, I must say!

YAY! WELCOME BACK MATE! *Launching fireworks to celebrate your return* Welcome back friend. Truly.

A few good things. Been doing a few trainings as a dm in my own DND campaigh in Discord. And someway soon I gonna buy a good map making for my campaigh. I want to try something really interesting. Dungeon Alchemist:



I just gonna get some money and then I will try buy it since I like the features. Despite some news of Wizard of the Coast not be good (basically the corporation owner of D&D) I still like my hobbie. 

Other good news? I think I might a little plan of mine very soon here in the forums. But since I never did such thing via text or in the forums I might need some feedback and see people reactions.

(/^-^(^ ^*)/ ❤ My honest congrats on passing(!!!) all your finals, welcome back and my very bestest and loveliest of snuggles, my dear!! *almost overruns you in their slightly out-of-character eagerness and sheer joy* After all the stress and mental load of studies, you more than anything deserve a good amount of freetime now. That, and same with a truckload of chocolate-chip and salted-charamel cookies!~

'Used to' is a bit off-worded, lolz - more like 'having adapted to it' in my case at least. I'm not pressuring or awaiting or expecting quick in-game progress by now, but still AM silently hopeful and enthusiastic about it!

Uh, any announcement or good news... Maybe that allergy season has passed by now? I'm avoiding the outdoors as much as I can, but no more symptoms for this year when I do need to step outdoors, yay!~ And I'm considering a few semi-new small art projects that I wanted to follow through, all while listening to the new episodes of a podcast on youtube that I haven't followed up with for way too long. EDIT: And Ive gotten back into crafting kandi bracelets just for the sake of it.

Congrats!
A couple balls that I, quite frankly, thought were stuck in place started rolling last month, so yay.

Alright, Dragonstrike. Speaking only for myself, but I feel the time for patience is at its end. When is there going to be another update to the campaign? IS there going to be another one? Because at this point I'm beginning to think you've slowly been abandoning it due to how increasingly inconsistent your posting schedule has been and how busy you've become IRL and with other projects. If that's the case, I'm fine with that! I'd, and probably the rest of us, would just like to know for sure. If you're having problems running the campaign itself, though, I'm more than willing to help you out however I can, even if it means dropping out of the campaign to do so.

Because things can't continue like they have, mate. So please give us some update on the backend of things.

[Spiritmon]

Same here. Like, by the time of your last update, I join like...4 or 5 more campaighs. But despite that I was willing so continue and have patience. But I begining to loose patience about your fewer and fewer updates you been doing.

I just had a rather shitty day at work, which is compounding how shitty I'm feeling about all of this, so I'm gonna make this as brief as I can.

I can only apologize for delays that have been almost entirely my fault.  Longer delays between player posts have kinda lessened my motivation and made the problem worse, but it's mostly my fault.  Posting started feeling a bit more like a chore than fun with the current snail's pace.  I'm going to shower, get some food, then get to work on the combat posts, and then the goal is to try and keep things moving.  I'd like to at least finish up this accelerated chapter before the end of the month if possible, but I'm not sure if that's going to happen.  I'll be taking a vacation out of state to visit family for a week on the 28th of this month, and that's probably going to slow progress to a crawl again (if things are moving at a decent clip at that point in the first place).

I especially need to apologize to Mika, who probably wasn't expecting this snail's pace when they rejoined us.  This was far from the kind of experience I would have liked to have you rejoin in the midst of.

If this had been any other community besides one I'd been a part of for years, this campaign would have fallen apart and I would have been kicked from Shattered Earth for inactivity months ago.  I can only thank you all for giving me that chance, and profusely apologize for squandering it.  I've been a terrible GM and player recently, and there isn't really a good excuse for it.  All I can do is try to do better if you all want to continue to play along on the crazy ride I have planned.  I wouldn't blame you if you wanted to call it after we finish this chapter of the campaign so you can move on to something else, though.  My own faith in myself is a little shaky right now too.

Sincerest apologies,
- Dragonstrike

Thank you, my friend. Burnout is very much a thing I grappled with in my own campaign and even in Iron's at few points, so I understand why you've felt the need to give yours a break. I probably (definitely) didn't help things with my first character Pyra not gelling well with the group and forcing the massive party split, which from my experience running such things adds a rather nasty amount of work to proceedings. Still, if you ever need to take a break do make sure to make an announcement about it in advance for now on (bar emergencies, of course). I was getting worried for awhile about what was going on with you.

You've stuck around 'till the end in my campaign and put up with me in Irons, so I'm planning on remaining in your campaign until the end. Least I can do, and besides I do enjoy what you have on offer even if I have to wait awhile to see it. Again, if you ever have trouble actually running things I can always lend a hand here or there, like doing combat posts for anyone but Platina involved (since those take a buttload of time to do right). Don't beat yourself too hard about it - what you've done isn't horrible, and improvement is easily had. Have faith, and I'll have faith in you too.

Okay, first round against Tornadus is typed up and saved as a draft.  I'm tired now.  Gonna work on Round 1 of VS Thundurus tomorrow.  Posts will go up when the Thundurus one is done since the two fights share some mechanics.
