How far storywise you you have things planned out? Like do you have a rough outline of the story and try to follow it out, or do you allow it to progress and evolve "organically" as if there were players making choices that could drastically alter the outcome?

I have a general idea of things I want to do. For each thing I have in mind I have several "what ifs" planned. When I reach a point of deciding something important I go with what makes for the best story or what the character would do.

This particular storyhour will be long. There are eight artifacts to locate and destroy. One in eight different "game worlds" that these "heroes" will need to go it. I'll be doing this when 5th ed comes out no doubt

I have backup characters in mind and also the lammo "clone" backups planned. This is about being over the top action and the interaction of different worlds.

Also- especially in the case of the current plots I am building, there will be a lot decided by the die roll of NPCs. There are something like 6 major factions in the first story arc all competeing for something. Some will try to form alliances and others will try to forceably gain control of others.

Darksun has a very dark age coming up. This is PRE Cleansing Wars. Here Athas is like any other game world for the most part. Once the genocide begins, then things become dark and eventually the world and its sun are damaged (possibly beyond repair) and the world of Darksun as most know it begins.


I hope to begin posting by September... October the latest.

I still have characters to make

I need to run the game (at least until I know where it is headed)

then do some support work for it (drawings!)

then I begin posting. I hope for 2-3 posts a week.

Thanks guys. It's been okay so far. My parents took me out for BBQ last night. Brought me back home and decided my car needs washing so they helped me wash it. After they left a couple of friends came over. We played D&D until almost 5am then I tried to get some sleep before leaving to see my grandmother. I had an awful nightmare. I woke up to being held down and an odd feeling. It was like the soul was being ripped out of me. I tried screaming but couldn't. I woke up with my heart racing. I started getting depressed because I realized if I were actually calling for help no one would hear me. I live alone with no close neighbors.

I'm dog ass tired but I have to go see my grandmother. My mom guilted me by saying we're not sure how much longer she'll be around.

That there my friend is called sleep paralysis aka Old Hag. I used to have it a lot especially whenever I go to sleep before 1 am.

It gets especially freaky if you "see" dark shapes or "hear" murmuring.

I know what is. I've had it happen before. That's why I called a dream. It's just the way it happened and the way it felt this time. I envisioned something like the effect in Stargate as they step through. The body being pulled apart and away.
