The Hive is (realy) Dead! Long Live the Hive Mind!

[megamania]

Life for me has been like my namesake. In the past 10 days at the store I have dealt with:

Car breaking gas pumps: Police, Fire, Government, Insurance Companies

Memorial Day Weekend rush

Staff of 12 dropped to 9 with another having a kid involved in a serious accident

Last night setting off the alarm by accident....had to wait for police and alarm people til 2am.


Mack was 10 days of cleaning and Stepping. Need to reclaim third place for the company. I dropped to fourth due to a strained knee. Long walks with bad knees is bad especially with arthritis setting in.

It's a joke. I know they have phones.

Rotery phones that is.....

'allo Aeson. How is your night? Good weekend?

Hola Aurora. How was the 527 and holiday in general?

It was good

 

[megamania]

Great!

Sorry I went elsewhere for a moment. I gave the readers of my Story Hour the bad news. I am cancelling the campaign.

Players are having problems committing and at 16-20th level, that is a lot of energy of mine to just "push aside" so I'm restarting next month. 1st level....Dragon's Hoard.

Ouch. We just went up to 18th level. Enk is the only one whining about not wanting to continue. He just doesn't like high level gaming.

My character has come to quite a crossroads, and she doesn't want to make a decision cause she doesn't want to hurt anyone. Who knew love triangles could spring up in a D&D campaign? ROFL I guess that is what happens when 2 PC's are "supposedly" together despite his character doing nothing to forward the relationship and then the DM introduces an NPC that does take an interest. Poor Aurora was quickly swept off her feet and Ander just stood by and let it happen. Now NPC is temporarily out of the picture and Ander has been offered the crown of Ion, but only if he marries one of the noble's daughters. Damned politics.

I find DMing high level very difficult. Just creating the creatures / NPCs can be as much as 2 hours apiece (PCs then tear them apart in 20 minutes ).

The biggest problem I am facing is there are two players that pour over the books and create heavily power-gamed PCs while the others do not. Though we are 16th level with 5 PCs we are facing level 20 creatures for an even battle. The power gamers are mildly challenged while the others have to really watch themselves or they die easily.

After 3 months of disscussion, and as of late, poor turn out, I have decided to scrap it / place on hiatus.

From here on in, I'mn only aiming for 12th level then restart. This will keep it fresh and manageable. The power gamers will not have enough levels to completely abuse the system neither.

Off to work on my Pathfinders Project again. I'll in and out. Maybe I'll post some of the work here. I have done a few drawings but nothing final.

Hi. My night has been up and down. The weekend over all was good. I got to see Pirates 3.

I can't stand power gamers. They drive me nuts. Same with hack and slash players. I could never game with a bunch of either.
