We passed our one year anniversary in July-- only 9-10 game days have passed.
It's a blast. It's got everything a good fantasy should have-- heroes, villains, leggy dames in armor. . .
Here's what you do-- follow the link above; click on the drop down box under 'View other months.' Choose the selection for 2003-7. Read. And read. And read some more.
You don't have to be an RPG geek to follow or enjoy this engrossing story.
You won't be disappointed.

I was really close to linking that game to a friend in an email as the most enjoyable fantasy I'd been reading lately. But I didn't want to look like quite that much of a geek.
You kids already know I am, so I'll just say: it's awsome and you should be reading it.

You know, I sometimes go back and take a gander at the archives of this game, and every time I'm astonished by the quality of everyone's writing. Much of that, I think, we owe to Slash for doing such a fantastic job of mood-setting. Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

I don't know how to say how honored I am that Slash let me join in this late in the game. I have really enjoyed following the game and to be allowed to play in it is the most fun I have had in a while.

Sorry arrow to the chest is the job of Sa'id and Farron. Also the ranger guy is dead.
She does expect to put a few arrrows into the chests of bad guys. She is fairly good with both bow and sling. She also has +17 on hide rolls, so sneak attacks will be her MO.

None of you have died a permanent death. I have not yet stood toe to toe with the Balor, so death is close at hand. Posts: 5422 | Registered: Dec 2001

I wonder how Pelor feels about the dealing of massive amounts of explosive firey death? Hopefully He doesn't mind.

I'd say that the fact that Slash has added another PC to join is indicative of just how bad things are going to get for the party. You guys are going to need all the help you can get, but apparently all the help you can get is a cantankerous little halfling archer who has delusions of being able to hold off an entire army of soul stripped 18th level characters. Good luck guys! Posts: 16059 | Registered: Aug 2000

Tom shut his game down? Really? Fatherhood just taking too much of his time and energy or what?

The hell I can't. I don't have to look at him. Right now Derek is in the middle of drowning and a demon just showed up to take out the seige golem. Slash is terrorizing some guards. One of our Paladins rode off into the sunset and the other had his horse killed.
He can get buff on his own time.
Of course Christy might have her own opinion on this subject, but I don't have to sleep with him.

Yeah, I don't know if the Segrada campaign is still alive or not. I hope it is, because I was having fun playing a character that was so far removed from the characters I usually play, and it seems like an intriguing world. Hard to say really. God knows Matt's had enough going on lately, though; I don't fault him for not having the time to run a game.
So, Tom's really getting into shape? That's great news!

So, I took the advice at the beginning of this thread, and began reading. I'm through November 2003... it's very enjoyable, and flows so well that after my last break to check my e-mail I looked around for where I had set down the book...
Anyway, thanks for sharing the link for those of us who weren't around when it started.

Yeah, it's really surprising, isn't it? If you'd asked me when that was I'd have guessed June or July or so.

I'm glad people are reading and enjoying it. Makes me feel like I've contributed to the creation of something cool Posts: 10886 | Registered: Feb 2000

That was terrifying.
Go read it.
:sheepish
Actually, I read through mid January or so before I managed to drag myself off to bed last night, way later than I should have.
I'm eagerly awaiting discovering if y'all ever manage to turn yourselves into a cohesive unit, or if you keep sniping at each other. What fun!

. . . . . . . . . . . His write-up of Mission's death is perfect. He understood exactly what I meant when I coined, 'The Path is not straight, nor is it soft.'

Hey, things have quieted down at work a bit and I'm going to have time going forward to write stuff again. Would you guys be interested in resuming? I've been feeling highly guilty.

I've still got all the documentation and character sheets. I'll send 'em back out.
The one thing I'm not completely sure about is the allotment of one load of treasure you guys stumbled across a while back. I know Slash wound up with the cloak, but there were a few other items that got sold and/or traded that I can't find my records on. So I may just conclude that they don't exist. *grin*

Sure. It doesn't take me any longer to put it up on the site than it does to write in the first place. Posts: 37449 | Registered: May 1999

Where is Tom's game archived? I found a game archive at plastic castle, but it seemed pretty fragmentary.

That's disappointing. What's there is good, but it just kind of picks up in the middle of things, and then trails off.

I'm tempted to offer to go through that folder for you and bundle stuff for archiving, but I think that's a little too much for me right now.

By the way, Tom, if you're willing to take any suggestions, I think that doing your archives as a journal instead of as forum posts would probably work better.
