Huzzah!

Greetings All!

Amazing but true...I have returned after a lengthy, baby-enforced absence. The good news is that we have gotten in 2 sessions in the last 5 weeks...the bad news is I am woefully behind on the story hour updates!

I thought I would give the 2 of you that still follow this thread a choice...

1) I can do a couple of "summary posts" to catch the action up to the present (taste's great for the DM, less filling for the SH reader(s)).

-OR-

2) I can go ahead and post all the action (more filling for SH reader(s), more time consuming for harried DM).

I leave the choice completely up to the faithful readers (and anyone I can con into reading Against the Shadows again !

~ Old One

PS - Attached is my obligatory updated baby pic

It's like Christmas in July!

I guess that if I had a choice, I'd like to see the full write-ups. BUT, if you think that makes it less likely that you'll be able to get them done in the near future, I'll be more than happy to read the summaries. I am fully aware of the time constraints of family including babies.

So glad to have you back, Old One.

And, if I may somewhat crassly engage in a bit of self-pimpin', you'll note that my sig suggests that my own Faded Glory Story Hour is now complete as of just a few days ago. Big thanks to you for all the inspiration.

more story

I'll take anything, summeries would be ok, possibly filling in details later, when you have more time like that would happen

Not first but I still beat Darklone. And that's what's important after all.

Summeries are okay with me (though it pains me to say it). After you catch up, you should make up for it with rich detail though.

I love your writing and I'm so glad your back.

Summaries please...well more like montages of the events that have happened. Maybe in Flashback??

I did a five year catch-up on my story hour (Return of the Heroes...) where I hinted at the events that happened. For one summary in a previos SH where I had fallen quite behind, I wrote it as part of a "treatise" written by one of the NPCs to explain the events in which the PCs partook (Heroes II).

Can't wait to see whatever you come up with, though. Whatever will help you to write sooner, in any case.

B.H.

Hey, I can't work 16 hours a day for more than two weeks

Helowww Old One! The Young One looks great! Someone must have cast an Enlarge Person, or he's got a good appetite (sp?)! Just have to be careful that my gf does not find this picture, otherwise she might get infected

As for summaries or updates crunch by crunch, I'd vote for the detailed stuff ... more storyhour goodness that way. I don't mind some big steps to catch up if we drag too long too far behind otherwise, but I think we CAN wait

Yes, we can

Normally those spiderwebs would be long gone by now, the broom-weilding skeleton being good at what she does. But she's still recovering from the thrid (and final) death of her beloved Metus. He had turned on a fabled group of Pelor worshiping Knights and paid their horrible price.

Now she lets the loss fuel her anger. And with the blossom of a new emotion she is better able to resist the incessent need to sweep.


Personally, I'm impressed with her progress. Those little green globuals the planthead keeps droping must be screaming out to her obsessive compulsive urge. Stay syrong my broom-weilding friend. Stay strong.

Old one is back?

Finally!

I took a vow not to post in this SH sooner than the Great Old One returns (be it either Old One or Cthulu ) - and now i am relieved to be allowed to post again.

BUT I am afraid i am for the detailed Version of what happened in the meantime. Even if it means longer waiting-times.

In fact most SH's i like have rather long pauses, be it Sep, Sniktch or others (ok, (contact) is FAST!)...so that wouldn't bother me too much.

I hope to have something to read soon!

Darklone, do we need to have a talk about where babies come from? It isn't infection you know.

You see, when a man and a woman love each other very much, sometime they...uh...give each other a big hug. Then they hug each other some more and the...uh.

Ok, you know what an egg is right? Like with a chicken? And how the baby chicken pops out of the egg after the mother chicken sits on it? Um...actually it isn't like that at all.

Wait, I know...You've seen The Matrix, right? Ok, the Nebuchadnezzar is like the egg and those big tunnels if flys through are the falopian tubes. And those Sentinels are like the...well, the sperm. And when the sperm get to the egg, but nobody sets off the EMP device...

Ah, to hell with it. Ask Rose, he's got a kid.
