I wanted to give it a few days to think about a good response to your question about dialogue.  I start by reading the notes from the session, submitted by players, and the session outline that I wrote up and posted on our website for comments.  I then have a good feeling, along with memory, of the tone-feeling-atmosphere of the game.  For the most part, the players have firmly established their characters' behaviour patterns, and if I don't have a "quoted statement" from my notes, or player notes, it is not too far of a stretch for me to extrapolate what might have been said between say, Rhgl the reluctant rogue, and Gorga the warband leader.  Our game group is often in a chat room during the day or evening, while we are online for work, or fun, and I will sometime ask "What would Iirkh say here?"  I did this, for the last update, and got back something different than what I would ha e picked, but still within the character's character.  I am several months behind in updating the story, vs where we are in the game.  The update I am currently working on is from December of 04.  So, I use a combination of quotes, notes, player reference, and extrapolation from past characterization.  The players try hard to roleplay their stats, as well as established characteristics.  As far as the group goes, we had 8 people at one time, alternating between a FR game, and this one, every other Friday night.  I'm more sad than anything, for anyone that wasn't having fun, and didn't work with me to try to change that.  Other than that, I look forward to recruiting others for the game.  It may be harder for me to let go of characters than players sometimes.  But I've managed to deal with it in terms of the story and the game so far.  I've tried to keep the game and warband kind of dynamic.  For those interested, I'll try to have the players post their characters in the rogues gallery thread I started.  Gonna be posting some more of the NPC's from the next encounter there, after I post the next update.Again thanks for the comments,GWPS  I've been reading up on your story hour off and on for a bit, I haven't caught up to present yet, but I'd be interested in reading some background information on your world if you have it posted somewhere.</blockquote>
