Kalbaern is unavailable for awhile - some days or maybe a week or more. He doesn't know yet.
On Sunday evening he was in a motorcycle accident. He will correct the details later, but this should be close enough ... his rear tire hit a slick spot as traffic was slowing (about 45mph) on the freeway. When he laid the bike down he hit a rut. So his right foot popped off and his leg got pulled under the bike, dislocating his leg at the knee (which he got back in) and crushing his leg. He had surgery this afternoon (Monday) on both a crushed tibia and fibula and the Dr. placed rods in his leg. In a couple of days, if no infection, the Dr plans to "stretch" the rods to help him regain the length of his leg. I daresay the only good to come from that procedure will be more evil ideas of what monsters can do to hapless adventurers.
He does not know how long he will be in the hospital and away from his desktop. Hence, his unavailable status. Hopefully, the server will remain stable, but if there's a problem, please be patient. Oh and for all you bike afficionados out there - he was riding a Kawasaki Vulcan. It seemed to weather the entire situation without any injuries. Lucky bike. I guess Kal took one for the team.

Please send him my best wishes for a speedy and complete recovery. I myself have been absent for a few months following an extended internet blackout and general health problems. I hope Kal recovers soon and maybe I can see everyone IG soon. Crow

Update -- The 12 (yes, twelve) rods they put into his leg on last Monday's surgery (from thigh to ankle, sticking out about 3-4 inches) will be in place until next week. They have crosspieces attached to the rods that they have stretched apart every day to work on lengthening his leg. So far, so good. If the bone continues to knit as it has been, the surgery next week will be to remove those rods and to insert permanent pins that shore up the bone. He says "Thanks" for the get well wishes.

My deepest sympathies and best wishes for a recovery. Generally, I'd be prone to make some jest or smart-assed remark, but, shiiiiit... ..think I'll wait on that. Hang in there.

Jest away Folks!
I'm going to live apparently, at least this time.
I'm just a little disappointed. The first 48 hours, folks kept saying I looked like I rolled out of a scene in Deadpool, but alas ... still no super penis.
One last surgery tomorrow. Then with luck, they'll send me home. If for some reason I don"t make it back home in the next few days, I do have someone that will reset the server in my absence.

Good to hear from you, buddy.
Be sure to post pics of your deformed carcase!

He got through surgery but is still dealing with Dr. follow-ups.
As for the server still being down ... the operative words in his message are IF he is NOT home in a few days (from after surgery) he'll try to talk someone through it. It is not a simple matter of hitting restart. Ideally he will be home by the weekend and can take care of it himself.
In the meantime, please be patient ... find new ways to chill ... and keep checking for when we can all enjoy the server being back up and running. Thank you for understanding that these are very unusual circumstances.

Just a brief update folks. It'll be two or three weeks yet before I'm actually home once again. I'm in intense therapy during this time window. If the server goes down before I return home It could remain offline for days or weeks.
Due to swelling and needing to keep my right leg almost constantly elevated I'm not really able to do much ... even using my laptop.
Pics ... maybe, but more likely not. All the cool hardware is under my flesh ... just some large jagged scars where they cut and stitched me back up are visible and those are currently buried under gauze and bandages. Even once I'm out of the hospital, I still won't be able to bear any weight on my right leg for at least five months. My complete recovery I'm being told could last through New Years yet.
Anyhow, catch ya guys soon ... I should at least be able to begin updating and playing again in a few more weeks.

Its not easy or comfortable to sit upright for long periods yet, so not sure how much folk will see for a while yet.
