See, there was Scotley, Mowgli, J Alexander, and me that were the Old Core Group. Scotley and JA always had good games going. Me, well, not so much. Oh, I tried and tried, but I never could really hit my stride as a DM where I could keep a game going for more than a few months.
Then came the real breakthrough: Scotley and I were sitting around knocking around some ideas one night, and beforewe knew it, we had the seeds of a campaign. That was the best time of my young D and D life, Co-DMing with Scotley, telling private jokes at the expense of our players behind the DM screens! (hehe,j/k Mowgli!)
So, it just seemed natural, when we started talking about our ideas for a new world a couple of years ago, that Scotley started the Constables of the 14th Ward thread here. Well, it didn't seem natural to me. I knew nothin' 'bout no ENWorld at that time! But, later on, after my feet were thoroughly wet in the internet mire, it began to see perfectly natural.
