[QUOTE="The Shaman, post: 2213815, member: 26473"] The Vacuum Elemental site can be a little sketchy ( :\ ) - feel free to use [url= http://www14.brinkster.com/nadaka/DiceBoxDB.asp?Page=Add][color=blue][b]Nadaka’s dice box[/b][/color][/url] instead if you like. In other news... Glad to have you back, [b]знаток[/b]! Sorry you had to swtich to the graveyard schedule just so you could play the game... ;) [size=1](Hope I didn't mess up your character too badly... :\ )[/size] When we started [i]Wing and Sword[/i] I planned to write a story hour. I assumed I would simply take the game-thread and edit it a bit to create the story - then I thought, "Well, that's freakin' lame. We've all played the game-thread, so we know the story already." I pondered for awhile and then I came up with a solution, one that will hopefully add another layer to the game... Today I started jotting down notes on a story hour that looks at [i]Chat et Souris[/i] from the perspective of the ALN commander. This will result in a different, [i]Rashômon[/i]-like narrative of the same events and give you some insight into what was happening "behind the screen" during the adventure. I'm going to start writing one evening this week, but I won't post anything until after the engagement ends. I hope you'll like it. If this story hour idea is of interest, I'll do something similar with our future adventures - perhaps a story from the point of view of another legionnaire in your unit, one of your officers, a [i]pied-noir[/i] or Muslim civilian, and so on. Also, assuming all of your characters survive the current engagement (not a foregone conclusion, but it's looking better than it did about a minute or so of game-time), I'd like to enlist your help on some 'campaign-development' projects, expanding on certain details in your character backgrounds that will become part of the adventures in the future. I'll fill you in later... [/QUOTE]
