[QUOTE="Redwald, post: 2820338, member: 12271"] [i]I recovered this thread, originally started on 27 April 2006, from Google's cache and am reposting taking into account some advice from Piratecat and others -- namely, making the entries shorter. [b]I still want to know what you think![/b] Previously, this poll only received seven votes.[/i] Sagiro's Story Hour is what got me wanting to play D&D again after about a nine-year haitus, and the recent triumphant return of that story hour after a long dormancy has got me all fired up to see what people think of my own. It's an Eberron campaign that began at 1st level last summer. There are four players plus a DM (Sidereal Knight, you know him from around here). The others knew each other from before, but I was a n00b recruited off the boards. From the beginning I had delusions of writing up the campaign as a story hour for EN World, because Sagiro just rocks my socks. Rather than pretend to his greatness, I thought I'd post a writeup of a literal "day in the life" of the campaign. Please use the poll options to let me know what you think. Dramatis Personae: Cardea Ashalana, a female elven paladin Cullen Silverhollow, a male halfling druid (with Dragan, his dog animal companion) Kamiel Dekker, a male human bard/wizard (my character) Teague d'Lyrandar, a male half-elven rogue, dragonmarked, House Lyrandar All of the PCs are good-aligned. The overarching story is that the party has been called upon to find the parts of a mysterious relic recovered from the continent of Xen'drik over two centuries ago. Approximately a hundred fifty years ago, the statue was the centerpiece of some sort of vile activity surrounding a noble named Count Fenalik (of Greenvale, near Wroat, in Breland), who met his downfall at the hands of the Crown of Ghalifar, who seized his estate and scattered the shattered statue all over Khorvaire. As we join the story below, the party has just recovered the first part of the statue from the ruins of Count Fenalik's manor, the only statue piece that was not auctioned off by the Ghalifar government. They have returned to Sharn, the City of Towers, to rendezvous with their mentor, the man who set them on their mission (and who immediately thereafter experienced an attempt on his life). The PCs have just hit character level 2. I have notes covering all of our sessions (and in fact, after the first few I've been using a laptop to play stenographer, and I've sometimes been able to record sessions in absurd levels of detail). We also keep an private wiki to track persons, places, and things, and this has been really helpful. The only things I haven't figured out yet are 1) how to write combat well (I manage to record just about every die roll in my session notes, but that ain't necessarily good readin') and 2) do people want to read my stuff? I'll begin the narrative in my next post. [/QUOTE]
