[Hivemind]-Lets all dance through the lily's barefoot...

[Angcuru]

Don't feel bad, Orchid, our DM was supposed to post up two short prologues and a write-up of our first session, all of which are already written, about two weeks ago. Still hasn't gotten around to it. :\ On the upside, it's being posted on the new Story Hour-Type forum at Nutkinland, so there won't be any special dialogue or intense action left out.

Ah, a reminder of why I don't go to Nutkinland. Just not my kind of place.

Sounds like fun Ash! I love board games, but I don't get to play them nearly as much as I'd like.

 

[Angcuru]

Well, it's just posted AT nutkinland. Basically the only reason we're putting it there is so our lazy DM doesn't have to substitute in a bunch of *)(#@$& type things for his NPCs. Otherwise it's quite tame, content-wise. It's playing out as a kind of cross between Ruroni Kenshin, Ranma 1/2, Inuyasha, and Tenchi Muyo set in the Exalted setting.

We play lots and lots of board games. Since most of Drew's friends dont drink, and the only DM we have is Drew, and since he works so much and helps me out with the kids we are only able to game 1 time a month, we have a few games to play during that spur of the moment bordem.

I will go to nutkinland on occasion. Usually when I am feeling a bit on the fiesty side.

we did board games a lot last year, but this year it seems to not be happening

I can never really remember exactly what people said, so as I'm writing about the game I just leave the cussing out. And there is plenty at the table.

I wonder about our DM's priorities now and then. He's been really busy, working 2 jobs, this week going to New Mexico for work, and he arranged his flights to get back in time to game on friday. I suggested once that if he was having a hard time getting the game together we should go biweekly. He said no way, lol. I imagine the game is stress relief for him. Sometimes I think though, "Dude, take a break, we can miss a week!"

Our group seems to be lucky if we can game once a month. Conflicting shedules, unforseen circumstances, etc. :\ And when we do, most of the time is spent trying to get the DM to stop going off-topic. Last session we only got about 15 minutes of game into a 4-hour session.

 

[ASH]

That sucks Angcuru... The DM is not the one who goes off topic in our group. Its the rest of the players. We do a pretty good job at getting everyone to stay on topic, but somtimes its hard.

 

[Crothian]

in one game, the DM hates when people go off topic, but he just seems to encourage it or something. He reacts follish to off topic and has a hard time getting back on track. He's really not a good DM.
