4th IR: OOC Thread

[Festy_Dog]

I just assume that anyone without a specific location in my forces just found a cosy spot in the areas I do have.

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

I love it.

If you boil down all the posts above, they say:

My old rule system stunk
My new rule system will probably stink

It should be done this way
It should be done that way
No, it should be done thurt way
No, it should be donw thwat way
No, it should be done thit way
No, it should be done thet way

(chuckles loudly)

Ok, listen up, you jokers, for Edena_of_Neith is talking, and when Edena_of_Neith is talking, you'd better listen! (Or Edena, 161st level, is gonna come and cream your high level PCs.)

Janos, thank you for the map.
I love it!

Your PL and the map are there to show you roughly how strong your civilization is.
Since I'm about to totally trash your civilization, though, it doesn't matter that much.
You see areas shaded in, in color, but it is deceptive - vast areas within those colored areas are not under anyone's control at all - that includes you, Kalanyr, because vast areas of Faerun are uncontrolled wilderness where nobody (except Elminster) knows anything about the area or who lives there.

Tell ya what, folks. Let's just start the IR, now, and see how it goes. If we need more rules, I'll invent them (and they'll stink, like they stunk before.)
Until then, let's make a mess here.

Timothy, you got Athas. I'm altering the lists.
Tokiwong, you got those sea elves. I'm altering the lists.

I may be the lousiest DM on ENWorld, but I am going to start this 4th IR. It may die a horrible death, but at least it's going to get started!

I love you Edena in a purely player to DM kind of way.. not trying to insult just saying wasn't a big fan of it.. but you rock, you do what I think would be very difficult for me to do

 

[Edena_of_Neith]

Thanks Tokiwong.

I'm not half the DM I used to be, though. Too much personal trouble since the 3rd IR. This could die a horrible death.

But nevermind that.

TO THE PLAYING THE GAME FORUM, EVERYONE!

Rock on I am soooooo there

I got the first post, I am apart of IR history now... or something

Serpenteye,

I will keep my current powers.

Edena:

I hope to have the list of deities done by Monday. The typing of it is a bit slow. If they have not been claimed, perhaps you can give Kelemvor and Jergal to Festy Dog. He appears severely underpowered.

I have to say that I am disappointed that people are already threatening to quit if magic goes away. In the 1st IR, the elves cast the Karsus Avatar spell. People continued to play. Magic came back.

During such a time, Serpenteye, your faction could retain its hold on power. I presume your character put loyalists in charge, in addition to using the domination books. So, you could e-merge from a time of no magic with your power in check -especially if he worked on dealing with their needs and worries at such a time of crisis. If Edena handled the temporary end of magic like he did in the 1st IR, no one need lose power levels or characters. (No action, just talk during the time of no magic.)

Edena, I have faith in your abilities as a DM. I think we all should believe in you. Thanks for running the IR and inventing the concept to begin with.

Check your e-mail. I have a few ideas to help you along.
It seems few people are taking the Red Death seriously. I think I have found a way to solve some of the rules problems. So, check your e-mail.

Hang in there, Edena. You should not berate your own abilities. I have faith in you --- and I think everyone should as well. If I offended you, I offer my apologies.

 

[The Forsaken One]

The forces of Athas would be good allies for him.

No they won't... you are about power. They are about destruction and seeping every last bit of life from everything so think again

 

[Timothy]

You see, perfect for me!

These are the best shock troops you can wish for! When diplomacy and all else fails (which it quite frequently does) you just say "GO ATHAS" and then rebuild the area 10 days later. only this time, you can rebuild it to your own grand ideas.

And my own ideas are the best therer are! at least in my opinion.

True, and there's also the little matter of the super-drug.

Just for the record I was not one of the players who threatened to quit if we lost magic. Why would I when I would be among the players who would have prospered most from it? Very few of my countries are heavily magic-reliant. Only my Beholders (8PL) need it for survival.

I've finished the first version of the map, (though I guess we don't need it anymore) unfortunately it's rather large (3.5 MB). I can't send such large files via hotmail to whomever would put it up on their site, so if anyone has any ideas I'd be happy to hear them. If there's no other way I guess I'll have to get a site of my own to upload it to. Would any of you recommend a good, free, provider?
