The Dungeon Masters' Foundation Mk.II

[Y.O.Morales]

Sorry I've been away for some time, but my computer broke around Christmas and I'm still without one.

One thing I think would be nice about the DMF Forum is that good questions and disscusions wont be lost. Like Y.O.'s request for opinions on the seperate forum (which btw I like and will support). And old descusions can be brought back up quickly and easily by just posting in that discussions threads. When anyone had something like the DMPC it could have its own thread and go without interuptions.

Good. That's a good point.

Well, I'll be setting up the forum on the upcoming days (to those who wonder: by using my brother-in-law's laptop). I'll first do some basic 'mod' stuff (you know, picking the color scheme, tinkering here and there). Once it is done, I'll let everyone know and see what we can do from there.

Oh, I glossed over it, but along with wrecking the dragon encounter, (the possession occured on round 2 of the fight), the party just rolled over everything else in the dungeon since they had a monster with a cr two higher than party average along for the ride. (to try to minimise the damage I had the dragon blast every door they came to off its hinges, so they 1. never had suprise and 2. never got to use the lightning breath in combat.)

In short, I switched to "cenematic mode" for the most part after the possession occured, which is the first time I've done that for any length of time. Luckily the tunnel was like two miles long and the city was nearly a hundred miles from the tunnel (they covered it in like three hours since the dragon could fly so fast, and being huge, most of the party could ride on it) Due to how long it took, they didn't have long to spend attacking the city.

By the way, where's Dyne? I hope my zombies didn't kill him...

[sblock] Well, I have one tip for everyone: don't have to many players. During my first campaign (myself and everyone else had never played before, except with the comp games), I had eight PCs. It was hell. No matter what I threw at them, they always bounced. The party was: 1 barbarian, 1 paladin, 2 fighters, 1 cleric, 1 wizard, 1 rogue, and a ranger. I finally got so desperate that I threw an umber hulk at them at second level, along with a few goblins. And, can anyone guess the result? They beat it down! Mind you, this was the first time I'd played, but I am never having that large of a group again. [/sblock]

Campaign: I might be able to come in, but RL is getting hectic.

Alright since it appears we have at least three others who are worried about itme constraints for the campaign, I'm bumping the character date till this friday, but get your characters up. Time contraints relaly dont' bug me, that's one of the great things about PbP you just kind of jump in when you can and the game game progesses however fast (or slow) RL allows. Don't worry about it.

*applauds for Y.O.*
Alright, just give us word when it all ready. Thanks a ton.

Idk where Dyne is I think he said something aobut his computer being broken...or something. It was a while back.

Finally, theres been some great stories. I hope possibly the DMF Campaign will spawn some great ones, I enocouage you guys to play if at all possible, and if not to drop by and at least keep up with it, I coudl always use some advise for DMing, and this will be a great oppurtunity to create a great campaign and to give new DMs some expereince if it relaly gets off the ground.

Oh, good. Now I don't have to rush with my character

Kittyn: Any idea what class you'll be?

 

[Evilhalfling]

If MtM is looking rogue, we could use another front line ftr type. Its easy for a beginer.
Or if like many of the women I have gamed with you are better with social roles than rules, you could play a high Chr charater/ party spokeswoman. Of course C.E. will prolly give you good advice as well.

 

[Mordmorgan the Mad]

I wouldn't mind going straight fighter if that needs to be filled. From what I hear, CE's games are a little more combat than I'm used to.

 

[ChaosEvoker]

Eh I tend to have violent players so that's why. My campaigns coudl be played more diplomatic style or coul be mor ecombat style depending on your approach. (That is if I haven't forgot how to make a good campaign)

 

[LilMissKittyn]

*laughs* Sorry, EH, I'm not too good with social roles. Idk what I'd be yet, I usually don't choose until I've rolled the dice. Sorry I didn't post last night; things beyond my control happened and I didn't get to create it.
I'll do fighter, certainly, if nobody else wants to. My favorite class is paladin, that's a possibility too.
We'll see.
