[Meta] How many story hours do you read?

[Tuerny]

I won't go into my favorites right now (as I'm pressed for time), but I will suggest that you check out The Sunderer (formerly Monkey-Trained-to-Type)'s "The Sundered Sky". I'ts fairly new, but holds great promise (in fact, I'm going to use it for my next campaign).

Also check out the afore-mentioned, Paka's "Another Bastard Child of Tolkien"

Both of these should offer what you're looking for in a story-hour.

Cool, I will take a look at them.
I also looked at After the War since I last posted and it seemed to be a pretty interesting campaign.
I will actually be posting a story hour written by one of my players soon with included GM notes. Unfortunately I will not be able to use my exotic setting as my players rebelled against both the bredth of material I presented (I wrote a 62 page players guide) and its unusualness compared to a normal campaign setting.

Oh well :-(

These are the Story Hours I'm currently following (or trying to at least):

Old One's Faded Glory Story Hour

Piratecat's Collected Story Hour

Contact's Liberators of Tehn

Nemmerle's Out of the Frying Pan

Dr. Midnight's Knights of the Silver Quill

Keith's Byzantium on the Shannon

 

[Plane Sailing]

The Storyhours that I read regularly are:

Piratecats
Sagiros
Old Ones Faded Glory
Plane Sailings Kyri Chronicles (Someone has to )


and the recent Enforcers Wheel of Time storyhour.

I browse Dr Midnights Adventures of the Knights of the Silver Quill and Contacts Liberation of Tenh.

Ziggy: Complete the set of Old One's reading strategy and include The Kyri Chronicles!

One encouraging feature of the new boards is that at least I know that *some* people are reading my storyhour C'mon, you know Old One has impeccable taste, yes? Read about WotC modules in a homebrew world!

<meta: OK, enough pleading. Nothing more to see. Move along now >

LazyBones - Travel through the western heartlands

and all those various planescape story hours they put out there...more more i say!!!

[ptolemy]

I read:

Piratecats - eversink

wulf ratbane - collected stories and the on going story about himself (currently the wicked and weary last time I checked)

Dr. Midnight - the silver quill

oghma - posy

eric noah - bastion of faith

(contacts) - ongoing liberation tales

Sagiro - Charagan

Tor Bladebearers tale (when it's updated)

I also browse milo windby, and broccoli head's hero's of vilhon reach.

However the story which makes me want to give up and go home is Faded Glory by Old One. He shows me how poor my own dark age/RuneQuest game was. I thought about finding out if stories could be posted using non d&d systems but didn't even bother to ask after seeing this story.

 

[Viking Bastard]

Personally I think the COPS & ROBBERS Story Hour is the best one...

Ziggy: Complete the set of Old One's reading strategy and include The Kyri Chronicles!

OK, I'll give it a try

Dr. Nuncheon's Freeport is a cool story of a City Watch that I'm digging.

Rune's Oriental Adv. Story Hour has a trippy world. I read it in small doses.

Solid Snake's Ravenloft is cool. I really dig his in between stuff in the perspective of...was it Mordekainen?

There are a couple of others I check in on.

Haven't gotten into the big ones with hundreds of posts, just don't have that much time to sit at the computer.

City of Lies, City of Doors looks cool, but I'm a sucker for Planescape, as does

Cops and Robbers is fun steampunk and English isn't the writer's native language. You've gotta respect someone who keeps a game journal in a different language than what the game was run in. That's just awesome.

Rune's Oriental Adv. Story Hour has a trippy world. I read it in small doses.

Thanks Paka! I think.

I'm gratified to see that my Story Hour is getting more mentions than it did the last time this topic came up!

For anyone put off by the length (when I archived the text from the old boards, it was 117 pages), try to check out the thread here; I started it at the beginning of a major series of sessions - leading up to the climax of the campaign in fact.

If you like it, then check out the older stuff.
