seasong's Light Against The Dark II (May 13)

[Indigo Veil]

i prefer longer posts, but it doesn't really matter to me either way, so long as I get *something* to read.

Although, perhaps you should try out the new story hour first, and see how writing intensive it actually is. it may end up being less (or more), depending on how much you want to write about the background. Also, I don't know about Linds or Billy, but I think Hank and I will be adding characterizations of our own every so often, so that might also cut down on how much work you have to do (not necessarily, though--no promises! ^_^).

anyway, that little bit was my two cents' worth of input. ^^;;;

I'll be honest one of the reasons I started reading your storyhour was the fact that it was updated so often. I like the fact that every other day you can read a new snippet of information. But that's just me of course! I'd prefer it small and more often or then we'd have to start calling you Piratecat or Wulf or jonrog!

That's just my two cents. By the way have you updated your .pdf version lately? As soon as you do that I can print it out and continue reading to my wife!

P.S. Check out my storyhour The Unusual Suspects

There isn't much here yet but I'm working on it.

I prefer smaller, more frequent updates myself.

And I'll be happy to read your new story hour, although I tend to be wary of non-D&D settings...

 

[seasong]

Greppa also voted for smaller, more frequent postings. Hm.

Honestly, I can't disagree with that. I like daily webcomics better than weekly, myself - there's just something about a daily (or in my case, quasi-daily) serial that keeps the interest going. Never a big enough bite that the writing abilities of the author interfere with the narrative pleasure, but always just enough to advance it a bit.

So... I'll try for that, and see how well I can do.

And Talix, as regards non-D&D settings...

Well, I've started posting the new story hour. I've got some backlog. We've played two sessions so far, so I'm going to be racing like mad to catch up. I will work this story hour first, then that one, but this weekend is a good time to start since I'm caught up on Light Against the Dark .

The character introductions will be posted sometime in the next few days, and that will intro the story itself. There will, of course, be academia and world details and all the gooey stuff there usually is here. I can't help that .

Another vote for the daily/semi-daily format. There IS something about what you can read on a daily basis, and it gives me something to look forward to.

The other story hour looks great. You're too rad, seasong. More and more I'd kill to play in one of your games.

Even moreso than Piratecat, jonrog, etc.

Something to think about when RECURITING PLAYERS FOR YOUR UPCOMING ONLINE EPIC! *jab* Right, RIGHT?!

^_^

I'm so ing impressed by this SH. There are many good story hours on this board but this one is at the top of the heap. Really, only Sepulchrave's SH is on an equal level and I think this one is gradually pulling ahead.
The characters seem so life-like. Both the PCs (Greppa and Meredith particularly, but we havn't seen as much of Bellos yet) and the primary NPCs are almost flesh-and-blood people with real human strengths, weaknesses, desires and insecurities, and still they manage to be larger than life. The plot is well crafted, the writing excellent and the house-rules brilliantly innovative. And the updates! It's really remarkable how you manage to update so often with posts of such quality.
What I'm trying to express, in my own semi-coherent way, is that I really enjoy this story and appreciate your, and your players, efforts in creating it.

 

[seasong]

I'll take that as two votes for keeping the current format. And thanks for the kind words! They help keep me going .

Quick teaser: This week, Bellos gets to use his sling! Uripedas gets to fight something! And Merideth gets an eyeful of Belial!

 

[seasong]

Ugh. It's going to be this afternoon at the earliest before I can do today's update.

Take your time. We'll be waiting, no matter how long you take. ^_^
