I roll slow in my cherry land cruiser with gold rims and running lights after I get my hair done, and make sure all them story hours get my money.

Pimpin' ain't easy.

Another option that should have been included is providing visual aids such as character portraits and maps of your campaign world.

Oh, that reminds me. Check out the character portrait of Dabuk Tigerstorm and Bactra Redwind drawn by Kip the Bold in my World of Kulan Story Hour (about three quarters of the way down). I've also added a link to one of the maps I created for the campaign with CC2 (jpg image).

Cheers! ;)

Good idea. I've posted artwork of the PC Tothla in my Jodo Kast Does The Adventure Path story hour. It's a custom piece from the famous Claudio Pozas. His work is most choice, if you have the means I highly recommend it.

MUST... RESIST ... STARTING... TO READ... ANOTHER... STORY... HOUR! Just kidding! :p

Nice character portrait though. I'll have to take a look at this one sometime. So Jodo, have you checked out mine yet?

It's like (contact) said: Pimpin' ain't easy.

{EDIT}

And if you have then have you voted for your favorite World of Kulan character yet?

Now that you mention it, I've just posted a picture of my interpretation of Ocean Deeply Sleeps in mourning from my The Runic Storyhour: An Oriental Adventure in The Dream .

Check it out!
 

I read NiTessine's Dungeons & Warhammers thread for the first time today and really enjoyed it, it is extremely well written. NiTessine had posted a kind reply to my Jodo Kast Does The Adventure Path story hour, so I checked out his story hour and loved it. I might not have ever checked it otherwise, because I know nothing about Warhammer and so the title did not intrigue me.

The same can be said for Horacio, who has a solid superhero story hour going on that I might have missed if Horacio had not posted so frequently to my old story hour. So I think the best way to pimp your story hour might be to post encouragement on the story hours of other authors.

Knightfall, I will check yours out tomorrow or Wednesday, depending on my schedule. Of course, if you happen to post to mine it will remind me to be sure to check yours out!

I get my players to help me pimp as well. They have created uniform banners for the party, and other great things like this flash intro:

and some interesting art (Like our halfling thief going nuts with a wand of wonder!):

I think that this category "I use other writers' names in my story hour titles!" may have been originated by me.

Plus, I have it in my sig. I even use God's name! And worse yet, I haven't updated my SH in over a month (which I'll hopefully remedy this weekend).

Dude, I'm goin' ta' hell.
