[QUOTE="LordVyreth, post: 1455793, member: 9626"] Well, mine is mostly home brew, so that might be a problem. But I don't change the story for the sake of the plot or anything, though admittedly it takes a while before my experience builds to the point where I can challenge the party and start causing the PKs. I only rarely hit the near-TPK level that the campaign you're in apparently hovers at nearly constantly, though. Well, I'll give it a little longer if you think that will help. I always do a grammar check before posting (I type them out on Word and then copy-paste to here,) so the mistakes should be fairly small ones. I try to avoid having nothing but fighting, but you're right, I might need to inject more personality into the characters. I already added some to my last update, and I'll probably continue to spruce up the non-combat moments with additional dialogue. Oh, and if you really do read all of these SHs, let me know when you get to mind and what you think of it so far! :) I do have backgrounds for most of the party. A major problem for me is that I got into this SH so late. I'm recapping plots that were actually played out almost two years ago, so I can't come close to remembering the play-by-play of battles, or the exact stats of the characters from that point. Furthermore, only one of the original characters and players is still around, so getting further contributions will be difficult to say the least. I suspect things will get easier as I get caught up, especially since I switched to a be-weekly game schedule as we hit higher levels, the fights inevitably got more complicated, so adventures can take three, four or even more sessions to finish. But that means both I and the readers have to get and stay enthused about the early stuff. [/QUOTE]
