Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

[Blackjack]

Most of the stuff the characters say is usally... well... I don't want to be mean.

Allow me to suggest this instead. Like this Story Hour, it is provided free of charge.

How did you make the Mind Control work so that your players knew what was happening, but were still in the dark? What I mean is, how did you present it to your players?

I think he depends on their role-playing professionalism to keep player knowledge and character knowledge separate.

I believe that was true in this case. Overall, PCat varies techniques. Sometimes he uses secret notes passed to the players, especially when the element of surprise is critical to how the other PCs will react; other times things are out in the open and he expects us all not to cheese it.

No, I'm not being serious -- I was trying to be funny. It's definitely Galthia who's controlled. He wouldn't tell you that, though.

My point was that although all the players knew what was going on, the PCs didn't know who to trust at first, and that made things messy.

Eve should have just dominated both herself to straighten things out. Fight mind control with mind control. Or use a sane plan, but those overrated.

Deep Gnomes had a racial AC bonus, but I don't think it was natural armor. Wasn't it a dodge bonus?

Yep, +4 dodge against all creatures.

The file is there, but the link has an erroneous "d" in it,

Hi gang-

Thanks for finding the bad link, but could you also let me know what page the bad link is on? There are 297 pages on the site!

(And for that matter, to keep PCat from having to delete these posts, if you could email anything you find to webmaster (at) piratecat (dot) org, that'd be great! Thanks.)

Speaking of links... I know there's a thread that "should not be named" but um... Could somebody link it? (Or am I crazy and there is no such thread?)

But a thread's URL is its true name, so to link to a thread is to name it.
