Author Notes:
Rarity: All I heard was "rich people and their unsecured valuables in high density," so consider me interested.
DM: Some of those rich people might also be experienced thieves.
Rarity: Well, it can't be TOO easy, can it?
(As for Session 10 of Fallout is Dragons, we ran into some technical issues over the last week and it's thrown me for a loop, so it'll be up... sometime today. (Within the next 18 hours.))
I really have to question how this will go over when the other players show up.
One thing I did to help organize all my world-building was to solidify it into one world and keep to that. That some things like the calendar and history carry over and since the PCs are somewhat familiar with it already, it's one less thing to retell.
By the end of the run, I had completed about 3 campaigns with the same world and the continent was about the size of North America. I still have a lot of the notes too. I guess if WoTC ever hold another contest for new settings, I could send them that.
And then they lose the character sheet file. After you explicitly told everyone to print out a hard copy, just in case. Ugh...
I do like my playgroup; I just wish they would focus.
1. Disable wireless internet. If they bring their laptop they won't be able to access the internet. Smartphones? We don't get signal where we play so they are also useless.
2. Have a hard copy of everyone's characters in my record folder. They lose their character data, they have to live with the last known update to their character that I have.
The hard copy I keep on record, I purposefully have it 1 run behind where their characters actually are, as punishment for not taking better care. My group did agree to me doing this, so they know what's in store. So far, only one person had to use my hardcopy, so he is actually behind the other characters. He's regretted losing his character records since.
With my next group and/or next campaign, I'm definitely going to be using something local instead.
I've been itching to get back into Roleplaying again, but all the people I know in the area who're willing to DM, well, aren't actually that good at it. Just a few too many DM-created NPC races and such, and inability to reign in the other players.
And of course, you have the one or two players who actually have nothing but hard-copy character sheets and are working on getting into the world, that're cruelly being yanked out of it by the others.
I built a fantasy kitchen sink where death is permanent, but all mythological figures are real. Thor? Check. Zeus? Check. Crom? Check! I twisted D&D into a bizarre world where you can hang out with Charon, and Cerberus is the prison warden of hell.
And all theze deities can be called forth, but cannot be harmed by mortals.
Yeah. You can summon Pelor, but he will kick your ass for allying with that rapist warlock. And you better be damn sure you aren't just wasting their time.
One of the most powerful spellcasters in the world is a pixie.
And jackelopes are as rare and magical and noble as unicorns.
And he kicks all the ass! Anybody here ever watched David the Gnome? Like that, but a flying, spellcasting, diplomancing badass.
And just to screw with expectations, his name is Zeus.
The Desiel Punk Psychic Detective storyline is coming along fine, but after all this Rogue Talk...I couldn't help but doing a criminal game. Trixie, in this version is a low level psychic gun specialist who arrives at Canterlot from Manehatten. She finds that there are several major criminal organizations in the city. But the one that draws her in the Garden of Shadows. She is recruited by Fleur, who sits at the right hand of the Garden's boss, the Luna.
LIES!!!!
Plus I just watched session 09, so, I really don't mind.
