Probably one of the politest I've seen. And that's actually an important message moment, because in my experience, when people<em>do</em>start falling behind, whether due to life or other things, if they<em>are</em>interested in the game you can get some self-accusation going on...and that self-accusation gets worse as time passes and can be increased greatly by any external accusation...None of which is conducive to good writing mood! So approaching from the "I understand you might be busy" viewpoint like you did was great to see. I've had some very blunt "Did you leave without telling us? bad you!" messages in the past that<em>did</em>shift me over from "I'm late and life is hell but I do want to play" into "Uh...Yeah okay, never mind that game then." and I am far from the most twitchy person on the internet.<br/><br/>Also, some things I still am not quite 100% sure I grok here and would appreciate clarification on, if you have a minute?<br/><br/>In AW, if you've got a move whose name implies a characteristic of how the thing gets done, and you succeed with that move, that generally will heavily color the outcome. I'm curious if the bugbears hackles aren't heating up because it wasn't a "roll-based" move (although it was generated by spending hold) or because I myself commented that there wasn't much room for Hjalmar to get up speed for<em><span class="bbc_u">Forceful</span> Charge</em>. I guess my question falls somewhere into "how forceful is forceful?"<br/><br/>Also, Hjalmar's tusks, now that he's in his partial-were stage (WoD had words for such things but I've not played in probably two decades) have 1-piercing...The damage-as-done was identical to the roll, so I assume they aren't as armored as their yearbook photo shows? :)<br/><br/>EDIT: I thunked of a thing! Or is that they<em>do</em>have 1-armor, so the 1-piercing simply cancelled out?<br/><br/>ADDENDUM EDIT: Hjalmar does 1d6 (hand, 1 piercing, messy, implanted) when shifted until/if he picks up<em>Lycanthropic Ferocity</em>at some later date.
