Against the Shadows VII - A Faded Glory Story Hour (Re-Updated - 5/17)

[Darklone]

A new player?

Edit: A big thanks to you. Since I started to read your storyhour and some emails and some other stuff... my own campaign with the newbies evolved and the multitude of plotlines and NPC actions and other stuff has proven to be a great amusement to me, and hopefully to the players as well. Sadly it wasn't a Faded Glory campaign since I decided to go the standard D&D approach (without all my houserules) and modified several bought adventures... but thanks again. I do roleplaying since 1980, life and p&p, but your storyhour and posts still inspired me to new heights.

Yep...

A new player?

Tortoise's old roomie, Dethstryke (he of the magic paint brushes), joined us as an on-again, off-again player taking the part of the Junior Tribune Lucius Metallus for several sessions. He joined us 2-3 sessions ago as a permanent player with a new PC.

He played the naive JT with aplomb and flair...and should be a good addition. Tormanet (Corey II/Quintus) is on a bit of a long-term hiatus right now due to family obligations, scheduling issues and his own successful campaign. We hope to get him back to the table soon!!

Corey the dude with the kid-pictured-cup is playing somewhere else? COME BACK!!!!! Wanna see more scheming!

Don't miss the edit in the last post or I'll send it by email!

True...

Unfortunately...

He has developed a very interesting campaign set in Afghanistan during the period of the Successor Kingdom's of Alexander the Great. They have regularly scheduled games that, unfortunately, often fall afoul of our rather irregular playing schedule (my business travels and small business commitments make for a very erratic playing schedule).

Hopefully, we will get him back soon...if only for a guest shot !

Also, thanks for your edited comments above...I am glad I have been of some small service. One of the things I love most about ENWorld is the huge amount of great ideas, plots, theories and other items to improve play. I have gleaned outstanding ideas from the likes of Pkitty, Sagiro, Destan and Sep...always learning is the way to go!

I'm trying!! Last month I was set for a grand return and Old One had to cancel the session. This month Old One scheduled the game on my older daughter's birthday. I'm trying again for June.

Ah well... in my neverending attempts to understand you guys (yeah, yeah to learn more how to be evil, bad and annoying and get praise for it), I started to write my own storyhour...

And blargh. Guess I'll bump yours and Rels much less often. That's an awful lot of work. Especially if you start with evenings three years ago. I happen to remember all dice rolls in a battle, but nothing about the talks between PCs before that battle occured... have to ask them. I'm such a nerd.

Corey: Glad to have you around here... you're DMing? Write a SH. Faded Glory? Not??? Shame on you

Greek goodess? Go ahead

We've missed having you at the table and Quintus along for the firepower and scheming.

Meanwhile we've been trying desperately to keep ourselves in and around Glynden so it wouldn't require a major stretch to place Quintus back in with the group again. Besides, we're all suffering battle fatique and have been wanting to regroup and recouperate in Glynden for a while.

I think you'll be amazed at all we've done in the time Quintus has been on the "injured reserve list".

Time coming soon to reach out and start shaping the region into a form we prefer. That looks like it'll require breaking some heads. Here's a partial list sans spoilers:

Ashai's minions
The remainder of the bandit gnolls
The bandit twins

Once we ally with the southern gnolls we might be able to consolidate and begin rebuilding the region and then reach north to deal with [SPIOLER]. We'll also have more strength and mercantile value for future dealings with Oar and the western tribes.

Note: The Scipio brothers aren't the only party members with an agenda for the region. Fortuntely it all works in concert.

What?!?! Someone's trying to muscle in on my action. Why the dirty....

 

[Old One]

Hah!

What?!?! Someone's trying to muscle in on my action. Why the dirty....

Hehe...that's right...you're in a coma for three months and all your carefully crafted plans are upset by Rowan and his negotiating "skill" !

Also...you should be good-to-go for the "Imperial Dispatch"...let me know if you are still having problems.

Thanks,

~ Old One

 

[Tormenet]

Rowan? You mean the guy who was hitting on my sister and then started drooling over Drusila?

He probably wants to invite in his gnoll buddys. One hyena-head in the neighborhood and real estate prices will plunge.
