Dear readers, I'm currently in the process of starting a PbP 4e game that demands a lot of attention from me. I won't be able to update in the near future, but I should be able to do so later on, in a week or so. Sorry for the delay. I'll do my best so that this story continues.

During my first days in the surface I had already experienced anger, betrayal, and battle. It made me rethink my decision to abandon my home; weren’t all those things the reasons that had pushed me out of the underground, from the warring factions and constant survival of the fittest? But in...

Right - I actually forgot about Google Wave when I posted the last message xD I'd like to know more about this campaign of yours. For instance, what will the focus be? Combat, skills, story, drama, etc?

I liked that prelude. How long is each individual prelude going to be in terms of game time per player? I'm assuming no more than an hour, here. I also notice a lot of focus on intrigue and plot, something that I hadn't expected from a 4e game (it's a system based on hack-n-slash, after all)...

Here's an update, in which things complicate even more for our poor Aghemer. I'll admit that combat scenes aren't my strength, but I believe that the more I write 'em, the better I'll get with them. Please bear with me here... --- Dan stopped faking his snores after a while and stayed quiet...

Hey there. Using Google Wave sounds like a neat idea; I've actually considered using it myself. I'm intrigued as to how the game plays using Google Wave as the medium.

Here's an update, in which a new character is introduced. This is not the Chekov's gun you're looking for, move along :hmm: --- “Rise, Lifegiver Cassandra,” the Harbinger of Light said to the woman kneeling in front of him. She was dressed in the customary sky-blue robes of her order...

As promised, an update! Hopefully you'll enjoy reading it as much as I enjoyed writing it - especially the first bit :] --- I was mating rather intensely with this very attractive fire giantess, when something pointy prodded my shoulder, waking me up from the dream. I waved one hand at...

Alas, I had intended to update today, but I need more time to polish what I'm about to upload. Quality over quantity, that's my new motto :cool: That being said, keep your eyes open for tonight or tomorrow - there shall be an update, and there shall also be unpleasantness for Aghemer :devil:

Now I had to decide where to go. Given that I didn't know anything about the land's geography, I had no way to do so but at random. However, as I started to move again, a thought struck me, and I suddenly had a place to go. I thought I had lost them, but after a few minutes I managed to...

I had emerged from the darkness, and that made me evil in the eyes of humans. The reason is simple: any creature fears that which they can't understand, and to humans darkness was one big mystery. If they had darkvision, like me, maybe things would be different, but even then I still looked...

Thank you, good Jester, I'm very glad to see you enjoy it. With regards to your guess, well, all I'll say is that you might be on the right track. Maybe. :angel: Aghemer's nature is meant to be a minor mystery, so it's not that big of a deal, unlike a certain Monster in the Dark's recurrent...

Thank you for your support, Haraash Saan, I'm glad you enjoy it! I'm actually some pages ahead of the current chapter, but I need to proof read them to make sure they're good ;) I might be able to update today. There's some real life stuff threatening to get in the way, but hopefully it won't.

Agreed on all accounts. Thanks for the help. I wish to avoid as many big cliches during the adventure as possible, that's all. Or at least be aware of the ones that will make players go "really now?" when I wanted them to go "holy crap!" What do you mean by "shorthand"? Agreed, BUT, I'm a...

I hadn't considered all the different kinds of horror that existed :confused: But now that you've written them down, nice and tidy, I can tell you that I'm going for a mix of survival horror and maybe psychological horror. Personal horror sounds fun, but it's not my goal right now. I'd love...

Yup. I've never done it, a horror game (whether by PbP or not), and I'm feeling in the need for some suggestions in terms of what to do/not to do in my soon to be created game. For one, I'd love to see some sort of "list of horror cliches" to avoid using them in my game. Other than that...

Retreater, I've read your 1st post and only your 1st post, and my reaction to anything you've said is basically this: Why do you have people that don't hang out in real life playing in your game? I don't get it. If they're not even buddies or friends in real life, what hope do you have of them...

It happened in an instant. The driders, including Enizu, fired their crossbows, their aim impeccable. Not that I was a particularly hard target to hit, but they wouldn't have missed even if I had been the size of a cockroach. So I reached for my stone table and swung it around one-handed...

Here's a story I started some time ago, and recently decided to seriously write up. As the name suggests, it starts in a dungeon, rather than ending in one; it's the story of a monster, instead of a hero, and how the monster leaves the dungeon and tries to survive in the land of humans (and...
