well since eternalnewbie hasn't posted in a while i thought i'd give you all a little update. things are advancing rather too well for the pc's in my personal opinion. they continue to live despite my best efforts, so don't fear that the story hour will just be dropped. though i do think that...

hey there, i too will be in the toronto area come august/sept, and will be looking for a gaming group. actually i'll be in oshawa, but toronto is only a GO away. if you're looking for references as far as gaming just check out eternalnewbie's story hour in my sig. i'm the GM in that game...

well, i know that gorak has purchased a feat (diehard i believe) and is using his other character points to purchase skill points. khalid blew a whack of skill points from his story hour on an above average cohort, which he then decided was too powerful and made a new one within the guidelines...

hey metalslime, character points are a fairly arbitrary bonus that i allot as opposed to giving bonus xp for story and roleplaying. on the average, i'd say the characters receive from 1 to 5 cp's a gaming session. they are not always alloted in equal amounts either. for instance, khalid's...

so, i really don't want to let this thread drift off in to obscurity. i've really been hoping that eternalnewbie would post a new story hour, but he's been pretty busy/lazy of late, so at the behest of the formerly mentioned i haven't posted the upcoming baddies. but i'm working on the post...

hey dren, i've found that the fourth method can be really rewarding. i usually handled it a little differently though. i would use a secret ballot for the "rper of the session" along with votes for the 2nd, 3rd ... nth and then allot a bonus to xp based on that vote. it really encouraged...

good idea man. the group's getting a little too confident with their abilities. maybe it's time to send some level draining undeads at them. just to stay within the rules and avoid the "rat bastard - dm" title. :D but, just as an update, the game continues, though there was a break of...

heh, funny you should mention that story hour the axe. we both read and enjoy sepulchrave's story hour. in fact, Mostin's penchant for sonically substituted boom spells is a big part of why i don't allow sonic substitution. and, yes, the scene where nwm lays waste to that army is awe...

As with the way i create worlds, i run games pretty much on the fly. i've found in the past that if i overprep, my players invariably find some way to completely avoid what i prepared. but really i find games work best when you allow your players to dictate the plot to a certain extent. i...

Thanks Pogre. But if you've noticed a trend you'll see that the group handles this in typical fashion as usual. You'll see what i mean in the next post i'm sure.

hey bill, to answer your question from a gm's point of view, things seems to go one of three ways with a group like this. 1) the group completely anhilates the encounter - usually while at full capacity. 2) the group turns tale and runs - usually when at low capacity. 3) the group gets their...

so my second shameless bump to make extra sure my signature worked :rolleyes:

ok, shameless bump to see if my new sig worked :D

a broken curse so, it has finally happened. two sessions ago the characters in the game i run, Al-Qarin A Tale of Arcanomancers, Adventurosity, Ambiton (*sigh*), finally attained 5th level! now this may seem like a commonplace occurance for most, but since the day i began running Al-Qarin...

finally, my house rules so, i've managed to find a copy of my house rules finally. it seems mostly up to date, and i've added a few things to freshen it up. there are some other minor things that i believe i've forgotten but it should do. if you have any questions please ask Al-Qarin House...

a few quick answers to some questions yes pogre, in my campaign half-orcs do not receive the -2 to charisma, just to int. as well they receive a +1 bonus to fort saves, darkvision and +2 to intimidate. to answer some earlier questions about house rules, sorcerers, or sorceresses in this case...
