Hi Folks,

I am on vacation.
I for some reason expected that at the end of each day, I'd have a couple hours I could do things in,
but so far things are pretty much running until 10pm....11:11pm now and I finally have down time.

Not nearly the freetime I anticipated to post the things I planned.

So kinda an unannounced absence...which is bad form.

Anyhow, I have hope for tomorrow...but I had hope for today, and yesterday, and the day before.

I have several storylines I want to advance this half-year....

Yay, vacation.

I'm a bit wrapped up with unexpected D&D dungeonmastering and expected gardening, but will hope to put out the turn report on the weekend.

=> The Admiralty Design Office is still in operation.

Envious, I don't have a group of folks for that in my area any more, and never got into remote play.

1st Oregon trip - Done
Ireland trip - Done
2nd Oregon trip - next weekend.

I really expected to post during the first two trips, but basically every day ran late, I didn't have downtime after dinner as expected.
I did on last year's Scotland trip, but not on this one.

Anyhow I'll start rolling out some posts :)

[The Rock Doctor]

Ireland sounds interesting but I'm sure Oregon is neat too.

I lost a lot of the last two weeks planning for back-to-back-to-back D&D weekends, although today got cancelled on short notice and the Mrs hauled me out on a road trip instead.

back-to-back-to-back D&D weekends

I am vaguely hoping to find a path to a live RPG again. However that has failed in the past as well. :(

Enjoy them when you get to them.

I do, but I'm DMing everything from homebrew and that middle game was kind of sprung on me with six days notice.  Didn't give a lot of time to work out the session, build character sheets for everybody, and research how to optimize for a child with ADHD.

It's been a long time since I've been on Wesworld.
Wesworld seems completely off to me.
Bruce's death was a blow to all members.

[The Rock Doctor]

It looks like it outright ended, although they hit 1950 and that was a logical stopping point because of Springsharp.

[Jefgte]

We might be able to hang some WesWorld players.
We have free Empires...

Are folks spending on coastal defence installations? I poked around the encyclopedias a bit but didn't see anything.

[TacCovert4]

Some.  The Caicos and martinique,  and my major ports all have notable coastal defenses.

[Jefgte]

...Byzance ports have coastal defenses.

[TacCovert4]

Generally speaking, I've built up my important facilities to the point in coastal defenses that they have mortar, main, and intermediate batteries plus at least a battalion of defense troops in addition to the light concrete positions for the LP stationed there.  With the Rappaproachment with Rome, I haven't needed to build up the outer gates to Atlantic Wall levels, though with the Mayans actions against Martinique, I just might do so.
