Sorry for the diversion off topic, but...
Alas, much like Sagiro's current absence, I have been sucked up in trying to finish Age of Mythology, my current game in Real Life. Add that to dealing with a young child in the house (my first born is 15 months old now)... well, didn't leave a lot of time for running a campaign.
There is actually one run we did that I never posted the Story Hour on that I may dust of my notes for and try and post sometime. I am hoping to restore the run (though maybe with a bit of a continuity hitch) either this Summer or more likely, after AOM ships in the fall.
The party had really only just finished the very prologue of my story, so I'd really like to return to the vast reams of plotting and world-building I had ready to go...

Sorry about the hijack Sagiro. I really like the story and you can delete these posts when you come back. That aside ...
Congratulations on the baby. You don't have to tell me how tough it can be. If you ever get a chance, know that I will happily be looking forward to your story hour's return.

Ha, maybe all this hijacking will force Sagiro to return! 
Age of Mythology should be on shelves in October, which means we have a scant 4 more months or so to finish it up! Yoikes! So Sagiro's likely to beat me in the "get to store shelves" race...
Alas, no second little one... yet... one is more than enough to keep both parents busy!! Maybe once he learns to talk I can start teaching him how to play RPGs... but for now he's mostly just trying to eat the dice. Just think, 10 years from now we'll have to have the "Children of the Company / Defenders" run with all our RL children playing the roles...

Since we're hijacking....
My game world is entirely too generic. I think I will submit a proposal, but it will be for a world with considerably more built-in drama. I don't kid myself that my game is fun due to an inherently well-constructed campaign world; rather, it has accreted over time, bits and pieces stolen from a hundred different sources. I think that our game is fun because of the stories and players, not really the setting they use as a backdrop, and that's harder to translate.
Sagiro could do this. He's a better designer than I am. It's a shame he's so busy right now!

Ahem. As promised, here are the excerpts from Ernie's diary, kept while the party was in Kivia. All grammar and diction are Ernie's. Spellling errors are probably mine.
This diary begins in the dwarven tunnels. You all remember them, right? Ogres, ropers, half-fiend things, badness all around. Good, let's begin.
Dear Mother [Ernie kept the diary as a running letter to his mom. All you freudians can just shut yer pie holes.]
How are you? I am fine. Things are very interesting here in Tev (sp?). There are halflings here. They come from a place called Appleseed, and they are very different from us in Dingman's Ferry [Ernie's home town]. They are fighting a war against some big 'uns who want to take their land. Yondalla defends them well, but they are a fighting people, and do not get to enjoy the small joys of life. That said, I only hope and belive that we of Dingman's Ferry would be so brave in their place.
We have had a very interesting time here. I cannot begin to describe the many people and places I've seen. The city of D'Jah is the largest and most splendid place I've ever seen. Two Tal Hai's could fit inside it and have room for more.
The food here is very good, but very different from our food. They do not roast and boil, and their bread is flat and has no leven. They cut the food up very small and cook it in a very hot pan. I will cook some of it for you and father when I come home. You will like it once you get used to it.

Ernie's Diary Continued...
Right now, my friends and I (Kay says hello) are in some tunnels. The tunnels used to be home to a kingdom of dwarves. The dwarves had to flee from a monster who had invaded their home. We need to get through the tunnels to get to the other side of the mountains, but I hope that we can get rid of the evil which lives here and give the dwarves back their home.
The dwarves in this place are slaves, which is just terrible! They are very sad, and have no hope. We tried to free on of them, and he actually asked to be returned to slavery because if he were missed the slavers would go back to his village and take his family. I really hate slavers.
Apparently the halflings tried to free the dwarves hundreds of years ago, bu they could not hold against the slavers and the big 'uns trying to take their land. When we are done here, we intend to free the dwarves. It's the right thing to do.
But I was talking about the dwarven tunnels. We are trying to find a way through to get to a jungle on the other side. In the jungle we hope to find a magical item called the Crosser's Maze. We don't know where it is, or even what it is. But our bosses need it, so here we are.
