A WINTER in EVENINGSTAR

[Mahiro Satsu]

Its so nice to be involved with a group that has some people who are just as excited as I am.
My Wheel of Time group is dysfunctional. They get all psyched up about getting ready to play but they refuse to do anything that might be helpful to me, such as using these message boards. check out "in the footprints of giants" under in character for my group's thread. its pathetic. This thread rocks!!!
Do any of you DM have any ideas on how to get my players to participate online?

 

[Tom Cashel]

That's a tough one...those who like message boards will show up, and those who don't...don't. I've even offered free x.p. to players for participating in these threads, but it's the same thing: the regulars return, the absent remain so.

Hey...if you think it's good now, wait till we're between game sessions! Instead of having a bunch of chatter about getting ready to game (which is okay in its own right) we'll be limited to In Character conversation about whatever situation we find ourselves embroiled in. Glen's "Stones in the Road" is promising to be an epic journey.

It looks like the group will be:

Aoth (Rog/Wiz/Rgr)
The Nameless Cleric (Clr/Aus)
The Nameless Druid (Drd)
Barbarian (?)
Van Dyksun (Rgr/Rog/Clr)
Illusionist (but not till the 13th of July)

Not bad...5 PCs and an NPC. Between all of us, we've got the classes covered. I've been reading up on all the Buff spells to which I have access, so that I can be a fighting presence if I need to...plus I'll be able to turn our Barbarian into a whirling screaming machine of death. You hear that, Van?? DEATH!

Gaming Blues

I tried to explain to them that i was sick of being the one playing telephone tag with everyone the week before we played and that if they wanted to play then they had to check the thread. I dont know if they're checking it and not reponding or what. they bother me.

Any of you guys want to play Wheel of Time with me.... ::sniffle:::

ps. for all the nameless characters will i have to refer to them as "yo, nameless guy (or gal)"

pps. I found a really great book for "flavoring" Aoth. It is called "Awakening Osiris" and it is a poetic translation of the book of the dead. Basically it reads like I would imagine the ancient Egyptians would read the Book of the Dead. Is pretty. That is where the snippet in my signature came from. Makes me happy.

 

[Van Dyksun]

The time for naming is coming due. It was okay for Saeita to be known as "The Silent One," but no Nameless characters. The Big Bad DM has spoken.

Damn, I have to get my stones in gear. So much wilderness, so little time.

Aoth and Van are in Eveningstar (Van has returned from his pilgrimage, somewhat worse for the trip). The Nameless Cleric is in Arabel. Where the hell is everyone else?

Sorry, Mike, but no playing Wheel of Time for me--I'm reserving that for Neverwinter Nights (my copy is on order--whoo hoo!).

 

[Tom Cashel]

Our putative Barbarian will probably end up a

Fire genasi Fighter/Sorceror! Cool!

...er, I mean, hot...? Anyhow, it's a neat idea.

Okay, my character's name is...

Kaemris Tencoin.

(for those of you who were paying way too much attention to Aerunedar...you'll notice that an Ulodrin Tencoin was among the vanished members of the ill-fated Band of Twilight. Well, that cleric of Tymora was my character's uncle.)

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

Tom,

So whats the campaign world you guys (Van in on it too?) are making like?

 

[Van Dyksun]

We could tell you, then we'd have to kill you. Actually, we need to wait until after we get it rejected from WoTC, just to make sure no one swipes any of our great ideas.

 

[Tom Cashel]

You're welcome to take a look at the proposal on the 29th.

 

[Van Dyksun]

Oh, yah, we could let you look at it then. Just didn't want to post anything here. There are spies, I tell you!, spies everywhere.

Yes, the DC Guide to Writing Comics is a possible use for my class (I get to teach LIT-101 again this fall, rather than having to wait until spring). Not that I wouldn't mind writing a comic or two....

 

[Mahiro Satsu]

Cool! Can't wait to hear about it!!!

oh, Van. Great Class... great class. And i know a few artists who might help with your comic ideas.
