Diplomatic Immunity OOC: The Next Thread

Ah, confidence from the GM, that's what I like to hear.

I don't mind pregen characters at all...a 10 page backstory may turn a few people off though.

Well, I tend to break the backstory into segments based on who is involved, leaving about 5 pages or less for each character. It basically covers how the characters met up so that gameplay can start immediately.

Gameplay starting immediately...just doesn't seem right.

It worked out in playtest though

My goodness, a playtest...aren't we special.

Post-Arthurian does sound very interesting, but you're probably right about pregen characters.

I hope you're getting some work done too.

I finished 3 of my 7 write-ups (the ones that I could do after just writing the algorithms and not running them). More importantly, I'm cooking dinner, which takes most of my attention.

Well that's something you don't have to do tomorrow later today.

You know it's bad when you're eating dinner not too long after me.

I actually did almost post an idea for a game twice today...changed my mind at the last minute when I couldn't finish the thought.

Don't worry--third time's a charm

Confidence again...no reason for that there.

Why not?

 

[unleashed]

Why not?

Well I've been struggling to come up with stuff for my FtF game for a while, so I'm not surprised when I get stuck thinking up a new idea. Of course you keep doing it to me with all the NPCs too...bad, bad, naughty Rystil.

Edit: I've had the basics of the idea sitting there for about 6 weeks, and guess what it's gone absolutely nowhere.
