Your story hour threads are highly entertaining. There's deep character moments, exciting combat, and gorgeously described scenery. In fact, it's only missing one thing. That would be... more Timotheus. ;)

Thanks. Yep. :uhoh:

I think they're awesome. They provide perspective on, and insight into, the characters that we simply don't get from the sessions themselves. More please.

There are other reasons why the dialog will have a different texture. We write differently from how we talk, and we have lots of time to consider our InterSession dialog whereas dialog during sessions is spur-of-the-moment. That'll have at least as much of an impact as your having to...

Oh yeah, compliment the priestess, not the fighter. Timotheus gets no respect! :p Seriously though, she is capable and competent, even if she does tend to be quiet and a bit socially awkward. Anhur smiles upon her. Plus, it's sort of a rule that the less someone talks in general, the more...

19 Sek 637 (evening) Blessed Bes, why do you hate me? Everything was going so well a couple of days ago. And now we’ve fired Dunlevey and we’re going off on this stupid pirate spying business instead of doing some proper adventuring at the Kingstones. And odds are, now we’re never gonna be...

Finally, Tim gets a chance to cut loose! No more throwing punches in barroom brawls or trying not to kill potentially helpful lizardmen. Weird mutant frog guys trying to kill us? They're going down!

If there's anything you want me to post about, just let me know! :D

17 Sek 637 (late night) Blessed Nephthys, it looks like things are finally going our way. Dunlevey’s a treasure; I thank you for sending us someone who’s not just a good fighter, but who could actually be a friend. This hasn’t been the first time I’ve fought with people I didn’t like on my...

Comments from the author After re-reading my last few entries, I went back and edited them to be a little less irreverent. I've been working hard on maintaining Timotheus' colloquial tone and occasionally foul mouth in play, and it's spilled over more heavily into his prayers than I'd...

17 Sek 637 (evening) Lady Nephthys, thank you for guiding us safely back to civilization. It’s always nice to see a new town, and I look forward to exploring the place. I guess I’m surprised at how big New Harbinger is. The fort’s certainly a lot bigger than I thought. I doubt they’re in...

17 Sek 637 (morning) Hail, Blessed Lady. We’re finally getting out of the lizardman fort, and Sir Quintus is with us, so the lizards were as good as their word. Please watch over us and help us get out of the swamp, and maybe send us a couple of real monsters to kill, or maybe some bandits or...

15 Sek 637 (evening) Blessed Nephthys, thank you for healing our companion Victoria. I was pretty worried about her, but she seems close to her old self already. Oh, and thanks to Fallon and Isis too. May they both give her their healing so that she’s back to normal. It would be pretty bad...

I submit that you probably haven't read the write-ups for "Out of the Frying Pan". Good stats offer little protection in Aquerra... :D Still enjoying the game, and still happy with my stats. I call the draft a success!

There's a lot of awesome suggestions in this thread. I'll certainly second Michael Shea's Nifft the Lean, Poul Anderson's The Broken Sword, and Tanith Lee's Flat Earth Chronicles -- Death's Master, Night's Master, etc. I'd also like to recommend some stories that are uniquely suited to...

14 Sek 637 (evening) Blessed Nephthys. Thank you for watching over us this afternoon. I was pretty worried there for a while, but everything turned out fine. Well, except for Victoria. The lizards say that she’ll be fine, and I guess they got no reason to lie. But it’s pretty horrible, a...

I'm glad that Timotheus has been getting a good bit of screen time in the Story Hour so far, since he doesn't show up in any of these InterSessions. I feel so left out! :p

Amusingly, his cousin would say the exact same thing, but the other way around. ;)

An insightful assessment, BlackCat. Though as to some of the "less dickish" characters, I think we'll find that they're just keeping their dark sides under wraps for the moment. ;)

The group dynamics in the game are pretty interesting. There are two pretty stable voting blocs in the group; at three members each, this should keep the party deadlocked, but each character has enough drive and depths to swap sides on one issue or another.
