[QUOTE="Rel, post: 1005500, member: 99"] Ahhhhhhhh. Finished. For now anyway. I wanted to take a second to say a few words of thanks (hopefully without sounding too much like I'm accepting an Academy Award). As the thread title says, and will always say, Thanks Old One. I know he has been away from the boards for a while and he may not see this for some time. But I want to once again give a hearty thanks for his endorsement, without which, none of this story hour would ever have happened. I'd still have stolen his excellent campaign setting though. ;) Old One is a very nice guy (he's also not [b]that[/b] old) and it was a great honor to meet with him in person and game with him. I hope he, his wife and his new baby are all doing great. And I'm still looking forward (patiently) to reading more of his Story Hour when he gets around to updating it. I'd also like to thank my players, Speaks, Raven and Scar (thankfully those are not their real names). I'm am very blessed to have guys to game with who are not only great gamers, but are also very close friends. I've known the three of them for pretty close to a combined 55 years and gamed with them for at least 45 of that. Wow! That makes [b]me[/b] feel like the "old one". Anyhow, they are fantastic friends and I'm really glad that we can do all the fun things we do together, including gaming. I'd also like to thank my wife who was more instrumental in all of this than most of you probably realize. Consider that I started my Faded Glory campaign a tad over two weeks after our daughter was born just under two years ago. Since then, just about every Tuesday night, she has made sure that I and my basement are available to our game group.

She has been not just accomodating, but supportive of my gaming hobby and now that I am done writing the story hour, I'll have time to put my attention back on the solo campaign I'm running for her. And of course I want to thank the folks who have read what I've written and especially the ones who have commented on it.
