Yes, yes I do. I need an idea that doesn't suck huge, sticky, lint-covered lollipops.Everyone okay? Need anything from the Story Elves?
Sounds like you all are humming along. Everyone okay? Need anything from the Story Elves?
Could you send a few tobeat me into submissiongently prod me away from painting and gaming and D&Ding so I can sit down and pound this out?
+1Yes, yes I do. I need an idea that doesn't suck huge, sticky, lint-covered lollipops.
Wow. I step out for a week any you all take this thread on a hilarious...tangent.
Everyoe okay? Need anything from the Story Elves?
Yes, yes I do. I need an idea that doesn't suck huge, sticky, lint-covered lollipops.
<sigh> I've got some cool characters doing some cool stuff... and nary a PLOT in sight. Yeah, it's the way I always work, but it doesn't make it feel any better.
(Sorry, giftee, if you like huge stories. )
You're not alone. I'm in the same bind. I've got a cool setting, three characters, and a REDACTED, but all they do is sit around eating lunch.
Yes, please. Or some focus would be good.If the story elves have any anti-procrastination, I'd like a crate, please.
Um...got any room in your party?
Huge stories are AWESOME.
Yaaaaas! I need all the focuses....some focus would be good.
If anyone's characters are sitting around having lunch and doing nothing of interest, consider crashing a spaceship/flying chariot into the middle of their soirée. The vehicle can be filled with plot chickens.
[interstellar go go dancing]. Maybe.
I wish I did. I'm starting up in Adventurer's League (was actually supposed to start last night, but snow happened) at the local game shop, and it took months for there to be an opening for spouse-face and I. But if you can somehow manage to be in central NC on Wednesday evenings, I'll butter up the DM until they let you sit.
Although if anyone knows any Roll20 (or etc) games with room for a level one scrub sparkle paladin and her dopey librarian wizard friend, I'll learn to like voice chat.
This isn't Sekret related, but if we're gonna talk gaming, I'd just like to point out how obsessed I am with the old Empire of the Petal Throne setting right now. And I don't even have a crew to game with! (Which is weird, considering how uber-trendy arcane PnP continues to be in Echo Park these days.)
The smell of cinnamon wafts in your direction. Roll initiative.
I'd play that.I wonder if 2018 is the year I sit down and write my weird horror science fantasy culturally non-European rpg setting.
You flee in terror as weird, chiming language fills the Underworld.
Holy crap! This is the first conversation in my life I've had about Tekumel. Have rep! Thinking about it, and this will prove another major distraction, I wonder if 2018 is the year I sit down and write my weird horror science fantasy culturally non-European rpg setting.
I'd play that.
I'm running a 5e one-shot this weekend with a bunch of fiance's friends who haven't played D&D before. I'm an amateur DM running a game of even more amateur players. I'm doomed
5) Be prepared to throw your campaign idea out the window. They may not be used to the campaign tropes and try to befriend the bad guys because they don't know any better. Don't let them roll to do this, someone will crit and then your story is over.
