Story hours everyone should read

[carpedavid]

I'd agree with all of the Story Hours that have been posted thus far. I believe that I read most of them.

On the other hand, if anyone is looking for asian-flavored stories, you might wish to try Emperor Valerian's Celestial Empire, and my own Land of the Crane.

Other story hours that I liked a lot, but haven't read in months are the Alea Iacta story hour of a D&D Imperial Rome and Roman Britain, either of the Faded Glory storyhours (by Rel and Old One respectively; Old One is the original, but Rel's is great stuff too)...

Thanks for the nod, JD. For what it's worth, my Story Hour is complete so if you (or anybody) ever get around to reading it again, at least it's no longer a moving target. The link is in my .sig as is the one for my Samantha the Red Story Hour about the "adventures" I've done with my little girl who just turned 4 last week. It includes lots of pictures, is not to be taken too seriously and is about to get a string up short updates over the next couple weeks before I go into "pre GenCon mode".

And it is something EVERYONE should have a look at. Great, great stuff.

Since everyone else is doing it, I'll also pimp mine. Star Wars goodness with some unique stuff of its own...and daily updates(generally)!

Try both of the Small Beginning's SH's. Well-written and tons of fun!

Their current one is below. It's updated pretty regularly.

Spyscribe's Welcome to the Halmae is my favourite. It's clearly a well-crafted game (Fajitas gets credit for that), the characters come alive in it (all players get credit), and most of all, spyscribe has a fine writing style which captures much of the feel of the game while reading more like a story than a transcript, with a narrative much enriched by her wicked sense of humour and irony.

I cannot recommend Shemeska's Planescape Story Hour enough to do it justice, but ... well, it was what ultimately converted me into a Planescaper, including less-than-rational spending on ebay and everything. It's simply brilliant.

I like Barsoomcores story hours and the thread Joe Blank started for Diaglo's OD&D game. Not really got to read even them at the moment, with writing my own and work.

In addition to several mentioned already, including any and all by jonrog1, I'll add Lazybones' SHs, The Shackled City and his predecessor, Travels Through the Wild West.

Piratecat's Defenders of Daybreak story hour & updated story hour (whereupon he returns to give us our fix while he uses pure memory to catch up the origianl story hour, instead of the hated audio tape method)
