If I hear from you both by 10pm EST tonight, you'll start then. If not, we'll go for tomorrow night. @GuardianLurker and @Imhotepthewise, if you're ready to start tonight, holler!

That time works for me if it works for GuardianLurker.

Imhotepthewise and GuardianLurker, when are you available this week to compete?

Noon EST tomorrow (Monday, 10/3) sound good then?

I'll run steeldragons vs Rune. What time tomorrow works for you guys? I can start it any time before noon EST, 5-6 EST, or 10pm+ EST.

Likewise. :'/

I posted a recruitment suggestion to here on reddit/RPG, see if maybe we can get some more interest.

I've actually started compiling it from my ramshackle notes to a somewhat readable document. I have an old blog kicking around somewhere, I'll work on posting them in a general-populace-readable format and drop a link in the near future.

These are excellent, @Rune! I agree with 90% of what you've said so far and am adding a few to my "How to Awesome GM" document. A few other things I thought of that may be worth adding: Carve Inspiration in Stone - if you get an cool idea for an item, encounter, bit of history, NPC, whatever...

Hm... good to know. That one came from an article I read where a paramedic saw the aftermath of a gas leak explosion and the police suspected the lady's boyfriend rigged it to go off. Thanks for the link, I'll watch it later tonight!

For the vast majority of these examples, it's definitely the "only people we don't like are going to be here when we leave, let's make them suffer" mentality. The only exceptions are things like land mines where you know where they are and have a general "don't go through there" policy. I could...

I saw a thread about interesting traps and thought it might be interesting to compile some traps that have actually been used in reality for those wanting to "keep it real" in their games. A bit of internet research turned up the following. Some actual real-life uses of traps: Ancient China...

A similar issue came up when my group did our brief stint with Eclipse Phase: If you were once male, then upload yourself into an empty female body or vica versa, which are you? In recent modern times people tend to say "I identify as..." if they are in a similar situation, but if someone...
