    Post your favorite Story Hours!

    HAI BILLY. http://www.enworld.org/showthread.php?t=157788 -- Come vote on the PbP I run and then play in it. ;) It'll be like a story hour in progress. But make sure you realize that you've gotta post in the thread for your vote to count cuz I only care about people who care enough to post.

    Is it over for me?

    I live in San Diego and am trying to get a larger gaming group together. Right now I'm running a Black Company d20 game for my girlfriend (a veteran D&Der) and three total newbies who are loving it. But I would love to get a larger group together so we could have several DMs running several...

    What's your DM Gimmick?

    Cinematic stuff. I love films so all my games have me describing scenes how they would be shot, that sort of thing. Not too much, just enough for a mental image. :cool: Voices and postures. For almost all of my NPCs I do a voice and a certain posture, occasionally I'll get up and walk around...

    "What do you mean I can't...?"

    Well, I can't remember the last time I got to play so I can't really contribute on that end of the spectrum. But as a DM I pretty much give everyone a shot at everything (within reason). It's become a running little quirk that people in my games (PbP or tabletop) just go ahead and say "I make a...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    NEW TALLY: Rivets -- 7, Fistful -- 7, Zombies -- 4, Shipwrecked -- 1, Dark -- 3. Well, damn, I might end up having to pick between Rivets Eternal and A Fistful of Gilds on my own. :heh:

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Just so we're clear on what I'm talkin' about -- INT. LOW-ANGLE: The camera pans quickly up to THE STRANGER, an ancient and worn looking cowboy covered in an inch of sand and dust, who hasn't seen the touch of a razor in months. He flips a greasy iron revolver from his hip in a flash, and...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Here's something else to discuss while I bash my skull in with end-of-semester crap -- usually, PbP games are written pretty much like prose. Both DM and PCs post basically what amounts to little bits of short fiction with rules questions and stuff as footnotes or whatever. Or the rules...

    Annoying Elves

    Right on.

    Good ambient/environmental sounds for a game?

    Low-volume music in the background can liven things up a lot. I'd suggest stuff like the OSTs from A Fistful of Dollars, Kill Bill Vol. 1 & Vol. 2, and stuff like that. Change genres to suit your taste/need. :D

    Resolving large-scale NPC conflicts in D&D

    Black Company d20 has some kick-ass rules for large-scale combats. They're a little thick, but once you sort them out I don't think you can do any better.

    Annoying Elves

    I never got all the elf hatred. Calling 'em sissies, androgynous (oh what an insult), and questioning their sexuality (again, oh no). Is it cuz they're prettier than you? :p

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    NEW TALLY: Rivets -- 6, Fistful -- 7, Zombies -- 3, Shipwrecked -- 0, Dark -- 2. And yah, after making the poll I realized my mistake in that I only really care about the votes of people who bother to post in the thread (and will thus bother to post in my game). Fistful is winning only by a...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    OFFICAL TALLY (since we're only counting people who care enough to post now): Rivets -- 5, Fistful -- 5, Zombies --2, Shipwrecked -- 0, Dark -- 1. Uh-oh, looks like steampunk and wild west are tied. ;) And to clarify I'll be posting the character creation thread for whatever wins on Friday and...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    I did run a short-lived game of my Wild West/Fantasy setting a while back. So maybe you're thinking of that? Rivets Eternal is sort of my baby since A) I'm working with a semi-well known comic book artist to write a Rivets Eternal comic, (shhh. :p ), and B) I think it's the best setting I've...

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Well, whatever wins, if you wanna play a zombie I can probably work it out. Though you'd better have yer roleplay fingers* ready. *Not to be confused with spirit fingers.** **Unless you're playing a ghost.

    barsoomcore's Swashbuckling Cards?

    Awesome. You are awesome. Definately one of my favorite ENWorld posters. <3 If you actually use AIM and just don't have it up on ENWorld for some reason, please e-mail it to me so I can milk you like a great teat of RPG wisdom. Erm. :uhoh:

    Itchin' to run somethin' -- you pick!

    Got me thinkin'. I went through and tallied the votes of people who bothered to post in the thread and that looks like this: Rivets -- 4, Fistful -- 5, Zombies --2, Shipwrecked -- 0, Dark -- 1. And y'know, the people who care enough to post get priority, I think, so it looks like A Fistful of...
