So, for various reasons I had to look something up in this story hour. And promptly lost several hours to reminiscing. Thanks again to the group for always being so much fun to play with, to Fajitas for his amazing DMing, to Spyscribe and Ellinor and Ilex for their fantastic writing, and to...

Ohh, umm. Savina does know, actually. She figured it out shortly after our encounter with Mariela. She's just never felt like it was appropriate to bring it up. Seems like sometimes we keep secrets even without meaning to! Seonaid, I'll try to post more on Savina's build later, but this...

That's what Twiggy was up to?! I have to admit, I never would have guessed it, but it does make sense. How cool. (Yep, I hadn't known until this update what Twiggy had done. Savina still doesn't know. This party keeps its secrets.)

Crazy Epic Game Last Night Not only was it an amazing game, with one of the most brutal combats I've ever seen, but Jenber and Fajitas managed to make me cry. And not from the beating our characters were getting, but from the amazing roleplaying and intense emotions of the scene. Tears on my...

Wow! Last night, Ilex revealed some major secrets about Arden that she's been quietly keeping under her hat for 3 years. Folks, there is a reason we call her "Deepgame." Also Fajitas is a crazy DM, but you knew that already.

Retreater, it sounds like you've made a good start by giving her a simpler character and running a couple of solo encounters with her. Here are a few other bits of advice: 1) Let her play. By which I mean, don't constantly override and question her decisions, and let her make a few...

Fajitas couldn't run last weekend, so Jonrog1 kindly stepped in to DM for us. Now, I adore Savina, but I do have to admit it was a really nice change of pace to be able to say something like "I lean out of the chopper and lay down some ****** suppressing fire with the flamethrower." I'm sure...

Pcat, running a game is a huge time commitment. Writing a story hour is another huge time commitment. You have a job, a wife, and a life. Much as I enjoy your writing, I don't begrudge the lack of a story hour. So only contemplate doing one if it really works for you, OK?

Going the long way around the circle was epic. In 25 years of gaming I've never seen a DM attempt anything quite so complicated. We needed an Excel spreadsheet to keep track of everything. It was a heck of a lot of fun, but I'm curious to see how our lovely writers explain it all...

I have to say the encounter with Mariela was one of my favorite sessions of the game so far. Everyone had juicy role-playing reactions, and there were several times that players simply had to stand-up in order to properly declaim their impassioned speeches. It was awesome. Plus, Savina got...

Sovereign Government And of course this incredibly complicated system of checks and balances isn't going to come into play in the game at all. Nope, nothing to see here, move along...

Well, not *friends* precisely. More like tragic figures in need of help. And we know how Savina reacts when she thinks someone needs help...

Wow, StevenAC, that's awesome. I've also really enjoyed reading your PDF compiliations. You always do such a nice job. Thanks for the work and for sharing!

Wow. I love the song the slaves sing; very appropriate and sad. Nice work.

Tree. We camped next to a tree. It was perfect picnic spot, with a nice grassy feel, and some shade from the lovely old tree with new leaves on its branches. Really, can't some weary travellers catch a break now and then? (sigh)

Ahh that tent. I amused myself immensely when I realized that *of course* Savina would pack a tent over armor. She's still puzzled that no one else brought one.

As a woman who has been playing D&D for 20 years, I just wanted to take a moment and thank Shilsen, not only for starting this thread, but for following up with such tact and thoughtfulness. It's wonderful to have you representing the issues so well.

Aww. You say the sweetest things. For the uninitiated, Fajitas and I are married, so we're allowed to flirt with each other. Not that we ever do so while he's DMing, of course, because that would just be wrong. I'm playing Savina, and am having a lot of fun with her complete innocence. I...

What a fun update! It's really interesting to see things from Arden's perspective.

Ahh, so tempting. I actually find it quite satisfying to swoop in and heal another character just when they've gotten that "oh s*** I'm doomed" look on their face. It feels very heroic in it's own way. Of course, I've also maxed out at about 9 points of damage, so....
