With over two months gone since the last post, I'd say it's a safe bet we're done here. First off, it was good to game with the GM again. Whenever I go home on leave, I make it point to do some RL gaming with him, but those visits are few and far between, so this was a good substitute.
We had a lot of people come and go over the 18+ months we did this, but I was certainly glad to see Maelstrom and Eric run the course, they added an element of stability to this somewhat fluid roster we had.
With that in mind, I'm going to list a few parts that really stuck out to me.
1) The beginning, when the initial group met in Chora's Den. Some people who joined didn't make it past that, but there was that element of excitement, of discovery, of starting out on a path whose destination was uncertain.
2) Shala's growth as a character. To keep an audience engaged, I know most characters change over time, and she grew from a meek little mechanic to a confident young woman blazing a trail of her own apart from her people. That took guts.
3) Joe's arrival. He was big, loud and brash, just about everything you would expect from a man who straps on a suit of Destroyer armor, but underneath that bravado and humor was a man in pain. While his humor did serve to mask his pain, it was also the sign of a man who knew what mattered to him and could care less about the rest. He took the safety of the team seriously and was ready to make the ultimate sacrifice if it ever came to it; I hope I got that aspect of his character across.

It was good to field test a character that was only running around inside my head beforehand. Not as nutty as I first imagined him.
The game may be over but we can still keep in touch. See where else The Road takes us...

Jan 16th 2014 was when this started i believe, at least that's when the first chapter was placed up. Almost 2 years.. it was awesome and a shame to see it end. Each character was interesting and i enjoyed all of them. Unfortunately it does seem to end.
I think its pretty cool that what started as an idea lead to all this.

I've been throwing around some ideas lately. I can't make promises at the moment, but I'm kind of hoping we might be able to start this back up, if there's enough interest (I think I have one or two veterans and one or two new people interested already).

I can't make guarantees either - I'd love to get back into the game but I don't know if I can keep up with it often as I used to. But I can certainly try...

Well, I think that makes you the fourth established player (not counting myself) that I've heard from who's seriously interested. I also know one or two new people I've talked to who've expressed an interest.
The hard part for me is a mixture of my work finally gearing up more and having a (relatively) new marriage that I have to stay on top of. I know that for the next couple months, though, I should have a TON of free time.

If this actually get's going again, dargene, we DEFINITELY want you back with us. I think we'd like most folks back, but especially those who've been with us since the beginning.

I'm still toying around with stuff. I haven't given up. Cruendi'has has also expressed interest in joining back up. Lekuhn also sounds like he may be on-board. My brother-in-law is actually considering making a turian if we get it going too.

I've been re-reading everything, so that if we can get this started back up (and there is stuff going on behind the scenes), I'll be fully caught-up. I'm only halfway through chapter 9. Do you guys realize just how much we wrote for this thing? Not even counting the character stories.

So, I do have one thing relatively ironed out. I think that at some point coming up, I'm going to look into doing a character story for Maelstrom that's set up like a regular chapter, having other team-mates from the Valiant partake (if folks have an interest in that). I'm still figuring out the specifics of a lot of it, so that I'm not just improvising once we start it up. Also, I'm trying to figure out whether this would fit better before or after the events which will (in theory) get the game going again.

What, you guys talk about getting the band back together and you don't invite me?!?!?! Lysander, I'm taking away your walker and Maelstrom I'm going to poke out that single eye of yours! BTW, I'm in, just let me know when we're starting back up.

Bridges and I talked it out earlier. There will be a post coming up soon to let everyone know "officially." Keep your eyes peeled for stuff coming up for the RP.

You were having so much fun in the ball pit, Joe - I didn't have the heart to interrupt Okay, my email notices decided to work again so I'll be keeping an eye out. Looks like I have some catch up reading to do as well!

The big things since you posted last are to put your vote on the Continuing Casualty's Cost and Continuity polls. Also, there's an Xbox One club for ME3 multiplayer with the group, if you're interested (just message me your gamertag if you are).
