Numbers

[Dungeon Master]

Previously on Realms and Rumours.......

I was a bit worried by the numbers we had as players, but now were back up to having three (thanks h.... I mean Dace ). It seems much better and easier, especially as the posts are coming thick and fast at the moment.

I have been hinting that we have now started the campaign in earnest, the main players are making their moves in the background and all will be revealed. I hope I'm revealing enough to keep you all entertained.

I now consider the previous threads, Ive called them Introductions, are really a prelude to the Daggers and their major players (In Felbin its been called Thread Zero, which is actually a good fit for this)

Without seemingly turning this into an unnecessary ego massage, which is not the point. Has anyone, got any ideas for improvement or things they'd like to see the characters do in the future. I will be taking you to Undermountain after the Rotting Scales. forgottenrealms.wikia.com/wiki/Undermountain

So if I can fit it in I will.

Finally, do we need any more numbers? Which is the question I didn't finish asking at the beginning of this thread?

I think things are running well at the moment. Much improved Paul!

I think it was difficult when there were only the two active players, but the addition of Dace (whoever it may be that's playing him) seems to have made a difference, along with the increased momentum of the plot.

I don't think another player or maybe two would be a bad thing, in fact, someone to run Vane and/or Nimen (provided she's of an appropriate level and not a high-level NPC...) would take a huge load off you as DM. In fact, one of the things I find most difficult about Traveller is running all the NPC responses...

I say go for it.

The game's really picked up, by the way - nice one!!

Nimen is too important and too high level to become a PC. I have plans for her.

I have found running multiple NPC's rather tough, but giving them a log on has actually worked quite well. It helps separate them in my head anyway.

Yes as they say, "the game is now afoot"

Have you thought about an open tout on my forum again? I'm more than happy to endorse it (not that it needs an endorsement but you know what I mean!).

Running loads of NPCs with their own accounts must be a nightmare, I couldn't do it.

[Dungeon Master]

Ill probably do that. Though I have my reservations about getting "Jack"

Im not sure I could cope with his play style

[Zeric]

In't that what the "PM" function is for. Go whoring, but do it in private, y'see? That way, you only get who y'want...

[Dungeon Master]

In my games it seems to be the virtual equivalent of passing notes to the DM across the table.

Giving me direction

[Zeric]

Year, but... On Harv's board, you should use it to get the players you want and not get the players you don't want...

[Dungeon Master]

Ill think about it. I quite like three. The dynamics are rather good at the moment.

Phil is playing Cath as a rather tired playschool leader.
"Cmon kids stop the jabbering lets get a FUCKING move on"
;D

[Cathmhaol]

It's so much fun! ;D

[Dungeon Master]

Well I managed to add another player. Go me!

Dace is as you all have guessed Harv, I don't think thats much of a startling revelation. But I wanted that to be hidden until about now, not that we hid it that well.

Bregl is an old friend of mine who used to DM our group in university, so he is a real and proper person, whose name is David. So be nice!

Id like to add another player, maybe two if I can find them. But I still want to maintain the centre stage time.

[Dace]

I'm Harv? Well f--k me, I had no idea!

Watch Phil suddenly turn against Dace

I bloody well knew it!! Ha! There's no hiding from the sorcerous powers of Zeric... um, I mean, Is it Harv? Well fuck me, I'd never have guessed in a million years...

There must have been a moment, maybe for about 30 seconds, when you didn't know. In all honesty, I don't think it matters, I like Dace and have enjoyed playing him so far.

Real, yes. Proper? Well, I think the jury's still out on that.
