As an aside, folks, I am not trying to have a series of exciting recon encounters out in the wilderness; in mretagame terms I am trying to justify a "gather information" roll or maybe an active "search" roll.

I'm afraid that hauling everybody out into the wilderness probably will generate some encounters or such.

~innocent wistle~ I would NEVER do something like that. But if all you want is a few search rolls, then that would work!

Well, if we manage to stumble upon something actually happening, we'd stick around and pay attention. And encounters come as encounters come. My point is: I'm not trying to split the party for a significant period of time.

(If, on the other hand, we all disappear, look for us on, oh, the ninth level of the dungeon....)

Actually you will be on the 13 th level of the dungeon. ~rereads what I just wrote~ scratch that! I did not say anything.

~grins~ The more I think on it, the more that I agree that a few seach rolls might just do the trick.

Ok. Since Photbucket is causing Chris' comp to go wonky, does anyone have a suggestion as to where I can store the maps, handouts and the like that you will need for this game? Yahoo has something, but I wanted to know if you all have any suggestions?

That's weird. Photobucket worked for me. I didn't get a virus or anything from it.

~shrugs~ Well, the last thing I want is for someone to have a problem due to the software I am using.

Sharoth,

I have Castle Writerock on my shelves. Would it help the flow of the campaign if I switched to a kind of "co-DM" seat to help keep things moving?

The Exchange

I have not looked at it but I also have Castle Whiterock and will give what help I can if the need arises.

~wry smile~ Let me see what my next test is like. I may do that if I get too low of a grade. ~grimaces~ Of course, I need to relearn how to study. Oh joy!

I've got Ptolus so if you want I can help out too. :)

Come to think of it, fray, there are some striking similarities between the world of Ptolus and the Castle Whiterock campaign. Something screwy going on with summoning (in the cast of Whiterock) or calling (in the case of Ptolus), for example.

The Exchange

I have not looked in Ptolus, a couple of my fellows have a thing against Monte saying he is a great designer but nothing he designs is balanced well with anything else, unless he does all of it himself. Is it good or just a really big book?

~innocent look~ There is nothing going on that is strange. Honest!

Castle Whiterock is sweet and innocent, just like a certain Pony boi that hangs around these forums!

Chris, I may have to take you up on your offer to help out. Work and school are taking up more of my time than I had hoped they would.

The Exchange

You don't have an innocent scale on you. well not since the rabbit incident and we don't need no repeat of that, now do we?

Both.

I think though that if you run Ptolus that you have so much material there that you could easily just use that book.
It's a really nice looking book, it's layoutit fun to navigate through. There are little index notes everywhere that lead you to different parts of the book. (Almost like a web page.) I have yet to read the whole thing. (Spent a few hours jumping around through the book.)

Sure. Email me (c (dot) mortika (at) gmail (dot) com) and we can figure things out.

I just want to run a game that goes a couple of years again.

we still on?

Sharoth, I'll be out of ton during the week of March 16th - 20th (that's Gulf Wars) but if you want help running the campaign, I'd be willing to break open my copy and scoot my chair over to the other side of the DM screen.

The Exchange

The answer is then, yes by hook or by crook, we will catch a silver dragon and make him run even if it is a TPK.

Chris, I hope your mom is doing better and heals up quick.

Ok, Darkjoy's car accident bug got me too. :sigh:
It's going to be a week or so before I can get back to normal, please NPC until then.
Thanks.
