Remember back in the 50s when they'd record like Elvis singing YOU AIN'T NOTHIN BUT A HOUND DOG and then they'd turn the record over and reverse it and it was all NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP NYERP and people were all like, "That is actually the voice of Satan coming from that song."
I wouldn't say that. It's just that it's much more difficult to make them work smoothly in a campaign. Trying to deal with that in your first go-round as a DM probably isn't the best idea, even if they were to just stick with a support role. You've already got a lot on your plate with a six-person party anyway.
I was joking about the polymorph thing, by the way.

I'm strongly considering it, but I'm wondering if that would be too intrusive. Especially since you've already done so.

This.
DMPCs can work pretty well. Obviously, if it's the GMs marry-sue or some-such, there's a problem, but I never seen this (though,I have no doubt it happens). But they can be really helpful to fill in support roles and and help move the story along.
That being said, it's usually better for the PCs to handle all the roles if at all possible.
Also, there's no rule saying you HAVE to have a party composed of certain elements. It helps, as there are some balancing issues, but it's not the end of the world to start things without a dedicated spell-caster.

^No problem. It's always good to take care of real life obligations first.
^^As we can see here. It's a shame you won't be able to GM for us, but it's better that you get this sorted out. Good luck with your new job!
Though that leaves the question of who would be the new GM. Honestly, I'm not sure I'm skilled enough to pull this off. Anyone else want to give it a shot?

The endgame takes place 2000 years in the past, if I recall correctly. It satisfies the robot part, though.
Okay, yeah, it doesn't quite fit the "future" part. But the "turning everyone into robots that somehow act exactly like the humans they're supposed to represent" part, yes.

Probably.
This is still a problem, though.
We should be fine.
*shrug*
If you guys say so.
I'll still give Cynicalclock til Friday though. If any of you want to PM her, go ahead. I already did but she didn't get back to me.
i get so angry sometimes i just punch plankton --Klinotaxis
Ah.
Unfortunately, since I am going to have a job soon I'm not sure I'm going to have the time I thought I was when I started this thread.
uhh, if you guys still want to do it that's fine. I just can't be the GM. Unfortunately. :/
I didn't mean to absolutely abandon you all with the thought that love would sustain you.
