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

[Old One]

Oh, I know about the purists. I have one as a teacher ("No, we'll be having you code image maps by hand too, despite this being the beginning class.") I've just run into some serious problems using FrontPage but it's possible that 2003 fixed most of them. I'd suggest Dreamweaver myself.

Either way, if you change your mind, let me know. It's always good to have a live site up, regardless of what it is.

Hah!

Thanks...I will let ya know!

Bleah...

Old One, could you post on the Dispatch board which Grim Tales CBDB you use for which PHB class (in case you didn't do that yet)?

Edit: Link in your sig is broken or the forums ceased to exist.

DL,

The "Rat's Nest" (and hence the Imperial Dispatch) blew up...we are working on other options.

FrontPage is actually pretty cool...I even took a class on it. I know that "purist" web-designers don't like it,

I'm a purist web-designer who hates frontpage. Indeed, my hat of frontpage knows no limit

(Basically five years ago frontpage was a truly awful product. I understand it has improved since then no end and although it isn't much cop for professional web design I believe it is pretty good for people who just want to get something up and running from a hobby point of view.

Don't forget to let me know if you would like any graphics sorted out for you along the lines of that "scutum button" or anything else!

Cheers

Rumors of My Demise are Greatly Exaggerated!

Where is Old One?

Hey gang,

Since a lurker "de-lurked" - I felt I needed to drop in !

My glorious plans of web site design and story hour updates have gone by the wayside. With Baby #2 rapidly approaching launch stage, "round-the-country" business travel (can you say 10,000 air miles in 7 weeks?), more new consulting business than I can shake a stick at (hooray for $$$ - boo for work) and a busy local speaking schedule...Old One has been a busy boy!

Add to that an unmitigated home "improvement" disaster (Safety Tip: Never hire painters while you are 1,000 miles away and let the Missus ride herd on them). Can you say latex on top of unprimed oil-based paint on half the trim in the house and 20 feet of built in bookcases? For those uninitiated in the fineries of painting, this results in hour after hour of paint-stripping using a 1- part ammonia/3-part hot water mixture, a huge mess, signficantly elevated blood pressure and a very pissed off (and very pregnant) wife !

Anyway...still alive, no time to cruise the boards, no time to write, no time to play any cool games...bleah!

Don't give up on me...I get the whole month of January off...hooray !

Good luck with number 2! I'd tell you my other name but I don't think you'll need the inspiration

(With an Alexander already, I wonder if a boy might be Hannibal or a girl might be Boadicea?

Cheers

Sorry to hear about the hectic schedule, Old One. But it is great that your business is going so well! I've found, having recently started my own business, that I wish things were hopping just a bit more but the extra free time is nice.

It sounds like my story hour might be completed just about the time you get some free time to read it. And then I'll be able to devote time not spent writing to reading the massive updates you'll be posting, right?

Good luck to you guys with the coming baby. I hope everthing goes smoothly.

My New Favorite Story Hour

I have just finished reading AtS VII, and I had to let you know that it is my favorite SH, bar none. The characters are great, you are tremendously evil as a DM, and the plots (and sideplots) are terrific. I would love to see the Faded Glory world in print, or at least as a website, it sounds like a very interesting place to run in.
It is inspiring me to carefully document my next campaign, for a SH of my own, which hopefully will be 1/10 as good as yours.
