A note, gentle readers: We've now reached the part in the campaign wherein I can peruse old in-character posts that my players made on our campaign's web site. What does this mean? It means I can know, with certainty, what was said and what was not.
A couple more updates and we'll reach another point that I've been yearning for - one of my players begins to keep a (very detailed) campaign journal. You must remember, we still weren't sure if this was but a weekend or two of nostalgic gaming or if it was the start of a campaign. By this point, we began to realize it was the latter.
Hence, no more writing from memory alone! The events recounted above happened nearly two years' ago. We have a lot of ground to cover, friends. A lot.
This most recent post may push the envelope of good taste, or bad taste, a little bit. I'm very, very hesitant to do so. I can't help but feel I lost folks when I ventured a little too far in the blackness of Ostia Prim in those early updates. Still, this was a crucial event in terms of the characters' personalities and their reactions to one another. I felt I shouldn't pull too many punches (though I did pull some).
Now...this is a community, dammit. If you're reading this, this is your story as much as it is mine, as much as it is my players'. I figure I owe it to you owe folks to write in a manner that's entertaining. If it's too over-the-top, tell me to cool it a little bit. If you prefer shorter updates, with more frequency, then drop a post or an email saying as much. This recent update is a little longer than my normal fare.
Finally - don't leave me. But, if you do, please let me know why.
I should be in bed. Ugh.
G'night!
