Story HourPost your ongoing tales from your campaigns, and read those from others for inspiration. Lots of other RPG boards post "Story Hours", but this is where it started!
Funny you should ask that. . . just last night I finished editing the manuscript. . . so the answer (as vague as it is) is: As long as it takes me transfer the edits from a hardcopy manuscript to the word doc - which assuming a few pages a day - maybe in a two or three months.
Hope that's not too long.
Sounds good, gives me enough time to reread Chapters I & II
Part One of "Out of the Frying Pan" Book III - Fanning the Embers: THE FEARLESS MANTICORE KILLERS & THE NECROPOLIS OF DOOM!!! is now available in downloadable .doc format.
I am giving this a bump as I edited the description of Book IV, and in case anyone is interested in knowing where to begin to give this story hour a crack. . .
This is just a note to say that I juggled the ending of Book III and the beginning of Book IV, so that the last four sessions of the former are now the first four of the latter.
For those who have been waiting, sorry about the delay in the compilation of Book III. Looking over this thread, I just noticed I said back in July of '06 that I would be done with it in two to three months and here we are nearly a year later, and I am not done yet!
BUT. . .
I am nearly done with the editing of it (having recently taken it up again, a few pages a day) and should have it up for download by the weekend (I will bump this and the original thread when I do so).
I have also started the arduous task of preparing all the installments of Book IV for compilation (in two parts, much like Books II & III). I am sure that will take me another year though. . . so no promises or predictions, as of yet. . . Seeing as I am going to grad school, working and also writing the "Second Son of a Secon Son" Campaign Story Hour, where you can get your Aquerra fix on a weekly basis (or thereabouts).
I was playing around with the new social group functionality on the boards and created the "Aquerra Story Hour Readers" group for those who followed this story hour or are still reading it and/or are reading the "Second Son of a Second Son" story hour.
I sent out a bunch of invites to those folks I could recall as readers, but if you were left out of those feel free to join up.
Honestly, not sure what the groups are good for, but what the hell, right?
Also, for those of you waiting for a downloadable version of Book IV, preparing those docs has fallen to the backburner. I am nearly done with the first half of Book IV and will post a link to that when I am done, but the second half may not come until sometime in the first half of 2009. Sorry for the wait.
The link for the zipped .doc copy of Book III doesn't work (either in the opening post or in your signature).
As I'm prepping a story-hour for my new campaign, I thought I'd find out how a good'un went (and am surprised to see just how long OOtFP actually is! ).

The link has been fixed in my sig and in the this thread. Thanks for the heads up!
As for its length, well, the campaign went basically every two weeks for one month shy of five years - so yeah, there's a lot!
