Anyway, Going Postal is still continuing (And will be recorded) for a few more sessions yet. I will clear and back up the chat archive after I declare Going Postal over (For now.) and start it fresh when we start the first chapter of the new book.  So why am I not recording these new sessions? Transcribing recordings is too much work for me. Audio recordings get all the quips, jokes and in charcter conversation but getting all that down takes me hours of concentrated effort. I have nearly 7 years of Postal audio recordings and it's probably going to take me that long to transcribe them all.  So with this new thread I'll be leaving reasonably complete summaries of a day's session here in Roll20 (Mirrored on my website as well.) which you, my gentle players, can add notes and corrections to. Yeah, it's less accuracy and completeness but it's also less work and still gets the essential gist. At nearly seven years, Going Postal has been the longest and most detailed thread I've ever done in my campaign. Sklanthar and Xerxes, the Big Pink One and Circus of the Mighty were all pretty detailed but didn't last as long. The first threads of Udra were nowhere near as long or detailed. And while it's sad to see it go into retirement, we may revisit it from time to time. At first I thought I'd put this new thread some ten or twenty years into the future of Postal but I then realized this would be a problem. The Postmen are powerful enough now that whatever they do will change history and the world and, especially if we revisit it from time to time, the new thread will have to live in the world Queen Ellen's Postmen have made.  That's just confusing and it steals the Postmen's thunder, I think. Instead, I've decided to put New Book a 100 years in the past before the birth of Queen Ellen, before Sklanthar was born, let alone made Lord High Chaplin, before the Foundation of Nah, before the plague Vos Obyorn. Pretty much before any player character event of any of my plot threads. At this point Udra is not unified with one King or Queen. It's divided into duchies like Italy or Germany before 1870. But otherwise it's more or less the same. There is some contact with Nyambe and Ravensland but it's not flourishing as it is in the Postman's time. Other details need to be worked out or revealed in play. Questions or comments?
