Strathspey on Sorcerer Guruship

I'm not sure if this is so much a complaint as a question mixed with a bit of concern. We started seeing a lot of great ideas coming out of GM Strathspey several months back. It honestly was looking like he would be taking over the "Sorcerer Guru" position. Then suddenly he just kinda stopped posting. He finished up the guild library thing and vanished.

Sorcerers were not told for quite a while that Nilven had left, or at least had stopped reporting in. Strathspey really got our hopes up. So I'm asking for a bit of honesty here. Have we lost yet another sorcerer interested GM? Is Strathspey still on staff?

I'm still alive. Nothing's changed with me except that I'm in board hibernation -- there's been a lot less time for it lately, and I've got a few weeks of posts to catch up on. Fortunately my spy network instantly alerted me to this one...

Great to hear Strath... Care to confirm or deny the rumors that you're the sorcerer guru? =)

That sounds about right.

That sounds about right.

admitting it is the first step

Wait, does that mean that he is or is not the sorc guru?

Strath is a good guy and he is doing his best. We don't see a lot of work on the profession since he has been overloaded with other projects that divert his attention away from Sorcerery.

[TheWitch]

Has he posted in the sorcerery folders in the past three months?

Just curious.

[Fallen]

I don't think so. That post was in the Discussion folder.

[zhelas]

He mentioned something about catching up on the folders and posts or something or other.

Plus there is another apparent "Feature" with Cloak of Shadows not working right if you are being shot at from the shadows. Grant it he was using 130 as his retribution. I asked him why. He told me he would rather die from the backlash of 130 versus being eaten in a warcamp and it made sense.

From what Emeradon has mentioned this is an obvious bug and is being sent to Strath.

Lets place bets when this will be fixed?

I'm confused, I thought CoS didn't work with ranged at all, much less misfire?

So did I. It may be just a bug with using 130 as part of retribution.

Creature version does, player version doesn't.
