Well the first day has passed in the Q.T. world of awesome!
How do you think it went?
Did you really think I would kill you all with the pirates?
how's the weather?
just tell me... really ;)
Until thursday...

that was the last post?... dear god man!
you didn't miss a goddam thing!
unless ambient noise counts...
anyways, I'm posting to tell all my fellow gamers that even thought I planned to play out my characters for a little while (maybe amanda as well) and take a break, this is in no way because of anyone in, or out, of game. I have alot of reasons from a lot of things. I shouldn't say more because this ain't the "soap" thread, and I still plan to work on, and start, my own game in time...
I can't stress enough how much I want everyone to keep playing at my house! It makes me feel more "at home" to share my home, and I think 4-8 weeks without some specific gaming friends (namely all!) would kill me...
okay on a different note, me starting a game later (or now for that matter) is not about persons or enjoyment of companies (everybody). People who are playing right now have every right to keep doing so! I just feel that with 9 players, Dm aside, the game becomes more stubble than wheat - more bone than beef...
I just want to give a chance to everyone that feels like I do to play another game until martin is finished and wants to run his campaign again...
then another party could play another game...
our problem is a good problem! I love that 10 (now possibly 12) gamers are meeting under one roof playing the greatest game ever written!
I love you guys, don't be hatin' ;)
Abe

Posting again...
"ALL WHO FEAR THE AWESOME POWER OF THE CRAP-TASTIC GM'ING, FEAR MORE"!
haha haha hahaha
just kidding, to start I'm going to say that in about another month or two I am planing to re-run my campaign?!?!
yes I said re-run my campaign!
my story originaly focused on some high level ideas, and through the experience I've recieved I am planning to get back to basics and use a supplement to get to the higher levels so that the early story does not suffer anymore.
my first time running this campaign was quite literaly randomly generated using the DMG and an old SNES *(cough)* "world map" which I expanded, but never got the pc's to. Having said that I had no real story concept and thought the game would run itself to 8th or 10th level... I was so wrong! lol
I am understanding much more now after only about two years of gaming that the whole Idea needs to be character driven, and I intend to attempt just that...
We'll see how it goes wont we?
(evil laugh)mwua haha ha until next TPK!

POST.
(just keeping the thread alive ;)

Ahh... Back From The Dead.
Sorry everyone, for being slow to post.
I'm glad I'm on vaca now so I can take time to do this.
Ok... First of all I'd like to say that I am A GENIOUS!?! Because just 24 hours before bradley told me that jason was thinking of splitting the gaming Group, I had thought; Hey, We could totally have two games going. Now, I admit that I thought about two seperate games but now that I think on it this would turn an already awesome campaign into the stuff of ledgends.(if the other Dm *COUGH* can do as well in keeping the feel)

Going back to posting, I'm VERY pleased with my character! Even though my perspective of what Karn would be has changed drasticly (sp?) I've always been keen on secrets and spying. Having said that, It makes it very difficult to post through a character that has a hidden side/agenda to his life, and I do feel a little slighted by not being able to think of a good way to post...

I have thought of a way!!!
Having Karn become an NPC (effectively ending his combat killing spree lol) I can begin posting in the form of letters to his sisters, Sasha/Daria, Still with me?

I believe the party is already at a natural split, and it shows whenever we go into combat and when we do immersion roleplying in town.
Sasha/Daria are together through vow of death, rebirth, whatever, and Vaan/Makibex are ("Wink" they think "Wink") Inseperable. Ever scince Karn said his goodbyes to, ahem... well, Let's just say his heart isn't with the journey. He just wants to help the family.

I think Whenenver jason is ready I am ready, and these two weeks are the perfect time to plan the games' future... I am unsure about running the Makibex/Vaan side simply because Justin, you are an amazing mind, and an assertive personality, and I would have to work super hard to think around you, and I think karn would like to stay with his families side. But! I know jason would run him as a very killer, badass, super-cool NPC, and if that's how you think it best I'll do my very best!

Having said that my thoughts are either;
Party 1
Jason-DM
Justin-Makibex
Bradley-Vaan
Blake-Dragondude(sorry I4got)
Steve-The New Guy(might think healer)

Party 2
Abe-DM
Martin-Daria
Amanda-Sasha
Adam-Kailyn
Elisabeth-The New Gal(Might think Cousin-Daern?)

-------OR-------

Party 1
Jason-DM
Justin-Makibex
Bradley-Vaan
Steve-The New Guy(might think healer)
Adam-Kailyn

Party 2
Abe-DM
Martin-Daria
Amanda-Sasha
Blake-Dragondude(sorry I4got)
Elisabeth-The New Gal(Might think Cousin-Daern?)

Again these are just my thoughts but as I said before I am a genious and my thoughts are the best ;)
and I don't know why but I can type "thoughts" like lightning fast

see?

To tread along the twisted path of destiny, I am forced. What thing has made me, I do not know. The fruition of my diligence and pensive art is but an uncomplicated, personal review. In this a time of confusion and pain, rejoicing and sorrow, I expose a portion of actuality to you, to show the veiled truths, and fill the gaps unspoken.

A dangerous thing it is indeed, to travel the world as adventurers. Even more so as a family bent by pain. Pain in all its forms has beset us at a point. Pain of injury, pain of pride, and pain of loss. In these last weeks we thought our family seperated more than once. Not of abandonment as with my eldest brother and parents, not of a trifle spat amidst each other, nor of a facile chioce of pairing. Seperation of death as it would be, a permanent pain for all of us to bear.
I will not have it.
I have seen my family fall, and I after them, In that garden of calm death. Only to return as a mockery to my siblings, who would be forever bound in forms of flesh foreign to them. And I in my scarred commonplace being would jest at their pain, being almost whole. We weren't meant to be seperated by race, and race will not sunder us.
But death still tries.
In a circuitous squalid swamp, I saw my family set upon. To reach a tower and all but lose my elder brother, the point of all the emotion of our troupe, was but another tug upon the fate we are set at, death. Still I pronounce it as too soon.
Reaching a destination and acheiving a goal, we are set to exalted paths, I can sense it. Or rather I can see it in my house, but no, not at my name will my family be achieved. So I know it to be. Even in his stupidity and capriciousness I can hear the great leader he would be, Bane.
A demons skin is merely a genesis.
Too soon then upon our return, on a simple inquiry of a burned house should he be torn from our journey. Set upon again by mere beasts, we erred. Into the fray he flew, unthinking. Or is it because of thinking he rushed and I but stood.
Once in the fray I can see paths for victory, War and fighting is a game of movement and time, and if I were but faster.
But no.
I can say I've never feared death since I tried it at nights hand, in the gutters of greyhawk. This was the same. In calculated steps I saw my sisters safe and sought my bloods remains, His time is not ended, his story not finalized. I will see him returned, by Pelors light, or by Istus or Nerull's own hand, I will see it done. I know him for more, more than a brawler or simple minded fighter. He will be back.
Even in this darkest of hours, in the weeping of my sisters, at the grace of the lord-wizard, I see light.

Destiny has claimed me, KARN

new guys add full cash for lv to pot
and levels
amanda 10 / 11
brad 9 / 12
jason 12 / 9
justin 11 / 10

this was my thought

Okay, the abe is here...
I decided to post this here because the survival horror game I'm making I'd like to be just as immersed as those first sessions kikai ran in greyhawk...
saying that I've formulated alot over the last two days and I think that in this setting (horror) people die and should fear death, not by battle neccisarily but by situations as well, and people should at least be permanently changed...
Having said that I'm going to need feedback from this asap because it's going to affect everything but in a good way!
Everyone that feels they have made a unsuitable character should not worry It was because I wasn't in any position to think on thurs.
okay... here's the thought, all of you are competent enough to make awesome chars. so make two!!! in this situation you're a group of (eight) forensic-paranormal investigators sent to seek out a disturbing occurrence that is being kept very secret...
Were set in renaissance era city where magic is rare but not unheard of, sort of "Harry Potter" meets "From Hell"
having said that one of your toons should be a battlebot, While the other needs the brains... I'll make sure there's enough of both situation in game... trust me it's going to be rough on me as a noob DM but I think I'm up to it...
GIVE ME QUESTIONS! please, and I'll see you thurs...
