[QUOTE="omrob, post: 2181442, member: 17677"] [b]Story Hours are kewl[/b] Been playing for about 22 years, but am a relative n00b to enworld. <that said> The Story Hours are my favorite part of this whole shebang... I don't care too much to debate points of D&D rules, and don't PbP at the moment...but lurk through the story hours mostly... As one of his players, The Jester, turned me onto his story hour about a year and a half ago, and I was simply blown away. The reason it initially blew me away was, the - story, myth, and fun, created by the RPG session we had three years ago, is now a narrative, published, and noodling around in the imaginations of folks like you all around the world. My appreciattion of these story hours has grown for many additional reasons: - I find it fascinating to learn how other parties and DM's do things. Its allows us to draw upon the experiences of other gamers. I'm sure lots of you have pulled interesting ideas from these various documented campaigns. - A lot of gaming theory, technique, and structure information comes out of the questions by posters and feedback from pc's story hour authors. - Most of the threads I come across have better writing, dialogue, and plot than most pulp fantasy fiction I've read. - It allows amateur writers to develop and perfect their writing style. A lot of people who thought they wouldn't be good writers, b/c they are bankers, or IT geeks or whatever, now have audiences who beg for updates. That's got to be encouraging. - The time the authors take to prepare, edit, pass back and forth, their material, that they share for FREE with you and me. others...others...others... Im sure folks can add others. There are so many good threads that get updated regularly for me at this time, I can't read fast enough... Anyway, props to all you people who write. You've got to be dedicated, and its hard work, I tried and found that out. I can understand how people can get burned, or take lots of time between updates. Currently jammin through the Hallmae...
