Thank you for your condolences.
The outpouring of support my family has received during this time has been amazing. People I never expected turned up - old friends I have not seen in years, current friends I would never have expected to see there, my entire office, relatives from several states away - amazing.
My dad was a good and generous man, always giving of his time to those around him. He will be missed.

I was actually thinking of you last night, in hopes that you were well. We need to chat at some point in time to catch up..

The other day, after making funeral arrangements, I was sitting on the couch in my parents' house, and opened up one of the knife catalogs my dad had left on the end table. There was a page of father's day gift items there, including a tin sign with two prayers on it.
As soon as I saw it, I knew what I had to do, so I made this for my dad. (click link below)

A Son's Prayer/A Father's Prayer

=======================================

Okay, I am back.
Let's get this ball rolling again.

Hey guys. My internet is barely working over here. I have barely been able to get on for the last two weeks. Its likely that my internet will remain wonky for the foreseeable future. Things should return back to normal by June 4th or so. I hope.

Thanks for the status updates, folks.

I've been tied up with real life stuff myself the past week or two. On top of everything else that's been going on, my wife fell and broke her arm (roller skates + curb = Ouch!) and is not able/allowed to drive until she gets the cast taken off, so I have had to act as her chauffer and also take care of all the stuff around the house that she can't do. Needless to say, it's time consuming.

There are rules in the Dungeoneer's Survival Guide, I believe, for this, but I don't have the book in front of me at the moment.
A quick bit of research on the web says most people can hold their breath for a minute to a minute and a half, but some can go quite a bit longer.
Would it be fair to say 10 seconds for each point of Constitution?
That means just over a minute and a half for someone with an average Constitution, and three minutes for someone wth an 18 Con.

Dungoneers Survival guide says: A number of Rounds equal to 1/3 Con Score.... So 5 Rounds for Angel, as long as she does nothing strenuous. Round after that its a Con Check, after that its a Con check at -2, then -4 and you get the idea. My Kender Locky went through a similar experience....

Tempest and Jaded - sorry to keep you waiting. Problem with splitting the party is that someone always gets stuck parking the car while the other guy goes into the club. Bastian and Angel will be back in port by sundown. Please stand by.

Stolen the show, no.
It happens at times, even in tabletop games. It's just harder to manage the pace in a PBMB game.
And, actually, I applaud both Jaded and Tempest for responding immediately upon having something for their characters to repond to. It shows a strong interest and a serious commitment. Thanks, folks.
