Below that is the facility to create an alias (or a dozen) if you don't think your regular identity is exciting enough, or if you want to post in-character in a game, or just want to separate your posts (for me, I have the Tipsniffer for when I'm discussing ideas for my current game. My players are told not to look).
Doesn't help when you forget to use the alias though, or swap from one to the other mid-thread :-)
And for the record, you didn't tell me not to look - I volunteered to not look.
I'm nice like that. And have you seen from Allen's posts how lucky you are I'm keeping a journal? Sure it's not up to date yet, but it'll get there, eventually. Maybe I'll bring my lappy with me tonight...
Turin, I'll try the players notebook, whether or not I use it for any sort of campaign journal. Its main purpose is as stated. Anything else is icing on the cake. It took a LOT of time to do some of the Age of Worm posts, to my wife's irritation after a 6-hour game session. If I am to do one, it would likely be days after a said session before completion. It would also compromise my ability to use this campaign specifically for any other local group (unless I could guarantee they wouldn't read the thread). As I've got much of it down on paper, it is certainly re-usable, if such an opportunity presented...
From someone who is keeping a journal, it would be really helpful if the DM can hand out an electronic version of what I call "the boxed bits": Exposition and description that can be read verbatim to the players as what their characters see, hear or experience during an encounter or whatever. From a description of a room or creature, to a villain's monologue to the characters, it's stuff that is hard to capture as the players are taking all their time just absorbing it.
And you might want to give the note taker extra time, because it's a real pain in the arse. And because they might need to ask questions about order of events etc...
Extra XP is also recommended (you reading this Snorter?) or get out of hades free cards perhaps :-)
I really feel for you on those 6 hour sessions by the way. We have only 3 hours and I still come away with loads of notes!
Oh, six hour sessions have more or less been the norm for us - Allen and I - and our associated gamers since the introduction of 3e.
Yes the 'boxed text' and 'monologue' storage capabilities on the datakeysticks are what I had in mind along with 'player handouts'.
There is often a great deal of time required to generate a given session's campaign journal entry. I find that having either really accurate notes or having at least one other participant present when putting together the entry really helps.
The person taking notes on any kind of serious basis is going to need some 'love' as it were.

Yes, I seem to remember one print out Allen handed us that went something like "gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, SYMBOL OF DEATH, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish."
I'm perma-stuck with my actual name. I tried but couldn't change my screen name to something like many of the other posters... Of course, I could tell everyone my name's Doug, and I'm masquarading as "allen stewart"...I always use my RL name.
Main reasons
- it makes me think for a second or two before hitting post: "Would I say/write this in RL?"
- it (hopefully) gives others the impression that I believe in what I'm saying, enough to put my name to it anyway.
- it is generally available on any forumI create other alias for specific purposes (Kaile, Fayne) but not very often. Why follow the crowd Allen?
I've never used my RL name on here because the reason I joined was to start posting as the Captain. Then it was just easier to conintue using him rather than make up an alias with my real name. All my alias on here are actually characters in some game at one point, and it will probably remain that way.
I use nick names for the characters instead of the player names for two reasons. First is that sometimes they change character. More importantly I don't feel that I have the right to put someone elses real name on this forum without checking with them, and I'm too lazy to do it. I suppose that a little of it is that some of the names are a lot of fun.
Yes, I seem to remember one print out Allen handed us that went something like "gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, SYMBOL OF DEATH, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish."
That's nothing - Snorter actually says stuff like gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber FEAR, DC one higher than you're going to roll gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber gibber world turns black.
Does not make for an exciting journal :-)
Although possibly a funny one :-)
I keep a journal of every game I play in or GM. As a DM I tend to write out a brief two or three page summary of events at most, like I did on the Darkness Rising journal that ran concurrantly with Allen's AOW. Alas, it has long since dropped off the boards (taking with it the infamous NPC, Captain Apple Merryweather) since neither myself or anyone else has posted on it since the game ended about two years ago.
However, if you take a look at the Praxeum of Master Thesoom thread you`ll find that, as a player, I record a blow by blow account of the game as it progresses. Each three to four hour session results in about a 7 page small type Open Office file.
In retrospect, posting each session as a complete single post rather than simply posting a page a day on the forum was a mistake, as the size of the posts seems to prove daunting for many readers. It would have been better to post smaller portions over a number of days rather than simply one full post a week.
That aside, recording the notes themselves does not present a particular problem. By taking my inexpensive notebook PC to the gaming table I can type up events as they happen. While you might think this takes up a lot of my attention, ultimately distracting me from the game and limiting the time I actively spend roleplaying, this is not the case. You`ll see by how often my character (Jarred) fetures in the roleplaying and decision making aspects of the game that I contribute just as much as any other player. It shouldn`t be a problem for anyone else either - provided the chronicler is a sufficiently fast typist and is content to leave any grammatical or spelling corrections until after the game.
Working thus, I usually find I have the game update ready to post the very next day, following at most half an hour or so of editing. The only thing I really miss out on is much of the OOC chat that goes on during the game - as I use this as an opportunity to clarify any events I might not have been too sure of at the time of recording. But as we meet at 7 and dont start gaming till afer dinner at 9, I dont feel that I`m missing out on the OOC socialising aspect of gaming.
All in all, I think this particular method of recording works out well. Jarred isn't any less an arrogant, obnoxious genius than he would have been had someone else been recording the journal. The only gristle in my steak pie being that, from a professional point of view, the narrative text can sometimes set my teeth on edge. But only because I don`t re-write the text, only amending the spelling and grammar. I just have to remind myself every now and then that I`m writing a campaign journal. It`s for fun, not payment, so why spends as much time with it as I would on something publishable?.
Allen, I personally would love it if you could find time for a new journal. I found your writing style in the last one refreshingly witty and urbane. Needless to say I enjoyed it immensely.
Oh, six hour sessions have more or less been the norm for us - Allen and I - and our associated gamers since the introduction of 3e.
Children and weekend gaming do not mix.

Snorter does help out where he can. My main problem is making sense of our parties 'tactics' (mine included - the bull rush off the ledge being a case in point!)

I'm not going to hold my breath on that one - Bob is very stingy :-)

Hey, I'm just describing what goes through your PC's head, every time the Will saves start flying.
Children and weekend gaming do not mix.
No they dont. Case in point from last weeks journal:
"Jarred advises the group track the Sith quickly - lest they recover the Star Key and return to the surface via a different route. For once the others agree without arguing and do as their told.
<Break for Baby Changing. Nialls bairn is six weeks old and mum needs help with the nappy changing. I help by holding the baby for a second, who promptly decides to puke on my T-Shirt>"
Incidentally, a huge part of me (and all of Jarred) REALLY want to just wait at the entrance and ambush the mooks as they came out, presumably all battered and bruised. But I knew how much work Rob had put into this particular adventure, including some astonishingly cool and detailed maps... Metagaming yes, but from the point of view of making sure everyone had a good time, and not at the expense of the DM.
One fun and useful thing that the player of Droodad for my current campaign has been doing is keeping a calender. It's small but it has nice things like phases of the moon, solstices, and of course the actual date. This way I was able to set a specific date for the campaign when she started. As we've played she marked of the days and kept track of everything. It helps organize things and you can keep track of how much time has passed for stuff. Plus a calender really isn't all that expensive, although she has talked about buying a day planner so she can take more detailed notes on it.
Thanks to this I never have trouble answering questions like "what season is it?" We just consult the calender. I'm seriously considering making it standard practices at my games to have someone keep a calender.

An excellent idea, especially if there is an electronic expandable one for those of us who do just about everything on a laptop.

I tried this last night, and it worked really well! My rather large lappy took up a bit too much space on the table, but it worked out ok. I also did loads in that session too, but I did find that I overextended my character a bit - that's a euphemism for 'almost died' :-) Don't know if it was because I was too busy recording the events rather than thinking them through. But I can blame the tardiness of the rest of my group for this I think :-)
But I reckon I'll have to inject a bit of character into the journals, if only because Bob did so well with Tycho, and I'd hate to let him down :-)
Right, more editing to do, and a movie to watch... pick this up in a bit!

Having double the move rate of everyone else, combined with half your abilities only being active if you've moved, does tend to result in a lot of split-party situations, it's true.
Now that Alun and Tegan have reinvented the Wolverine/Colossus 'Fastball Special', that tardiness might not be as much of a problem from now on. I had to bite my tongue so long, not to suggest it in the Temple of Hextor...
Though, being hoist up into a tunnel, to find herself prone at the feet of the same raging barbarian who'd just caused you to flee on 2hp, might make her wary of using this tactic again...
I was reading your campaign again, since I might have a group soon, and I just made a dragon for another DM. I wanted to compare my dragon to the draco-lich, and I also found him lacking as far as spells chosen.
..which led to this:
nevermind I was wrong about the thing I had written.
Now back to reading your journal.

nevermind I was wrong about the thing I had written, which was that arcane strike was a swift action. The amount of free actions allowed are up to the DM however for those DM's that like to avoid house rules, according to the PHB, but I will just make it a swift action to avoid the issue.
Now I will go back to reading your journal

Yeah, that occurred to me too, but I loved it too much to not do it. Plus I had fallen down that ledge so needed to get out asap (and how did they manage to make getting down such a drawn-out affair anyway?)

Well, I doubt he's going to fling her into the fray that often!

Hey! I withdrew, not fled. No AOO on me!
Right, I'm thinking I'm stopping you guys discussing further events in the AP with my continued posting and reading, so I'll stop it there. Let me know if you want me to bob back eh Snorter? Otherwise, I'll see you at the end...
Ta ra!

PS: Read the journal and comment if you want there. Don't expect a response from Fayne unless you're in character though, and he's met you :-)
Yes, I seem to remember one print out Allen handed us that went something like "gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, SYMBOL OF DEATH, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish, gibberish."
I particularly enjoyed the idea of handing a player a piece of paper, rolled up like a scroll, and when said player opened the scroll/paper, that they were staring at the very symbol of death that was one saving throw away from wasting their character in spectactular fashion. The player who received the paper during the Age of Worms campaign (Big Tom) reportedly enjoyed the event so much that he kept the paper with the symbol on it as a momento, even though his character died horribly. It was hilarious. Picture Big Tom (both player and character being casually handed a scroll by Cardinal Devious, Tom eagerly opens the scroll wondering what mysteries are contained inside (yes I did cook up a massive dose of B.S. to perk Tom's interest), and then notes the weird symbol and reads the large print below it, knowing his goose is cooked:D:D:D

I was there for that one, well done on the execution.
Holds up a placard with a "9" on it.
The last I have heard, that player STILL has that momento. :)

How it warms my heart to know that he still does:)
I would be absolutely shocked if there wasn't an online calender somewhere.....
There are online calendars, though the only one I have actually seen is the one for the World of Greyhawk (which in my humble opinion is the only one that matters, so naturally, WoTC has dropped the setting for all intensive purposes...). I think you can find it readily on the Oerth journal, Canonfire, or one of the other Greyhawk oriented sites.
Anyone of you play Hackmaster?

You know I have the full set of books and most of the supplementary materials ^_^
Let me say that the first BBEG for Pawfinder is worthy of HackMaster...
Ok, I lied. I've returned. But only to say that my journal has been updated.
eythanqu
PS: I wondered about posting this, as it implies I have an unhealthy regard for the quality of my journal, but actually, I think you guys might like a laugh, and it's been a while since I wrote on it.
Coming up: the near massacre in the hall of hextor! And more failed will saves!
And channeling Gerard Butler!
So, dying, getting his corpse decapitated, dismembered and scattered?
And channeling Gerard Butler!
I had to google that. Why couldn't you say Leonidas instead? It's not like Mr Butler is dead now is it?
And channeling Gerard Butler!I had to google that. Why couldn't you say Leonidas instead? It's not like Mr Butler is dead now is it?
^_^ Yeah, Leonidas died a pretty gruesome death - a warrior's death, a Spartan's death by the ideals of the time to be sure. Still pretty gruesome though. :)
Or Snorter was referring to the graphic nature of the combat scenes in the movie, it's hard to tell.
I had to google that. Why couldn't you say Leonidas instead?Because you might confuse it with the famous chain of Belgian chocolate shops?
It was specifically Mr Butler's splendidly histrionic performance that I had in mind, rather than any previous portrayal.
Fairy nuff :-)
Aren't we both supposed to be working?
You know I have the full set of books and most of the supplementary materials ^_^
Yes, I'm glad that you have hung onto those wonderful tomes. I hope that one day we can put together a group worthy of such fare. Nothing quite like Hackmaster. I still remember our last Hackmaster game, where I wasted Haru's (a fellow player) evil cleric. It ended up in a Battle Royal of player characters versus other player characters, with four PC demises if I recall correctly:)

I have the PHB and some of the 'Hacklopedias of Beasts', but I don't believe I'll ever get to play or run the game.
I was going to add them to eBay soon.

An 8-character blood bath, culminating with a note passed from Allen to myself to the effect of "are these the jokers we're supposed to waste?". A table-side conspiracy unfolded then and there, magic missiles flew in volleys, inflict wounds spilled entrails and a good time was had by ... me. ^_^ 4 player characters died as I recall too, 3 on the side you and your buddies initiated hostilities against, 1 on your impromptu team.
Good times ... good times ...

Correct. I enlisted Sir Ineptus and another fellow who's name I don't recall, to help me take out Haru's evil cleric in 1 round. I knew fully well, that I was likely to get killed if Haru had any opportunity to cast his Slay Living spell. The only way I was going to take Haru out in 1 round was to enlist the other two players... And we were successful.
Problem became that the other 3 players present (all playing evil aligned characters, like Haru) then acted against us. Cap'n Jose had his lizard-creature character, and he waxed Sir Ineptus' Battle Mage. My fighter (Hrothgar, from your Curse of the Crimson Throne campaign) then took out Eric's character (Eric was one of the Dying One's friends as you may recall, and who happened to be dumber than a box of rocks, as I recall).After that, myself and my helper in dispatching Haru's cleric declared a truce with Cap'n Jose and the Dying One, who uncharacteristically survived on the day in question...

Snorter has an e-mail addy listed in his profile Allen. Perhaps fire him an e-mail?
Don't worry; I've seen your post.
I'll have to dig them out to check their condition and weight.
I recall they were all in very good condition when I got them, but they've been in the attic for a few years.
Thanks, I'll eagerly wait to hear how those deligtful tomes have weathered their time in your attic;)
Turin, no new post from you on the drunkard thread in a few weeks. Bit of a hangover???

Although I imagine there are (or will be) threads related to the passing of Dave Arneson, one of dnd's co-creators, I would hope that all of you, my fellow Killer GM's would be inspired by the life of this great man, and pay tribute to him by boldly taking your respective campaigns where they were meant to go,--back to the roots of D&D; BY WASTING THOSE WHINY, WIMPERING PLAYERS AND THEIR PATHETIC OVERPOWERED CHARACTERS IN DROVES!

I do hope so>:D
For you past readers and enthusiasts of this thread, your friendly neighborhood Killer GM (me) is currently GM'ing a campaign, which has had 5 sessions thus far. While the current campaign is an excellent Home-brew, its low PC death rate makes it a significant downer to write up. But as things are apt to change, perhaps posts for this campaign will be forthcoming. The current campaign is fairly RP oriented ('yuck'), and has thus far amassed a mere Single (1) PC fatality:( That fatality involved Haru's Fighter, who was decapitated by the evil Halfling Ranger/Fighter 'Jack Mangler', who was in fact the same viscious halfling who killed multiple player characters in week 1 of the killer Age of Worms campaign detailed in this thread in 2006-07. I don't anticipate a high death count in this campaign, owing to the RP nature of things, but who knows... My next campaign will hopefully return to "our roots."
Mr.Killer GM I finally started my AoW campaign. I noticed you were right when you said the lizardfolk encounter outside of Blackwall Keep were lackluster. Do you still have your notes from that scenario concerning your modifications? I modified the NPC's with names, but for the other groups I have not made any "corrections".

How soon do you need them? I've just moved residences. I may have the notes in question, (although I may end up scanning & e-mailing, faxing, or postal mailing them to you.) The notes are for 3.5 edition in the event you are running using Pathfinder rules...
