There are a number of new WIki entries coming in the next few days to help establish what's been happening over the six months leading up to tomorrows game. I'm fitting this in as best I can between work and such so bear with me folks.
6 months have passed since the saviours of the CloudSpires ventured to the depths of the volcano and quelled the impending eruptions.
The Royals Peak Church of Oghma, with the help of Daed's outreach and the now allied beast races, successfully identified the corruption that had caused the Fire Giants to ignore their duty of protecting the...

Crazy. I got the email notifying me that it was live and by the time I clicked that link we were into Wave 4, with over 3k backers with $300+ thousand bucks pledged.
I've dutifully pledged as much as we could from the table collection to the kickstarter so we can expect to get boxes of miniatures shipped over in a few months.
It's well on it's way to 400k now: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/1513061270/reaper-miniatures-bones-4-mr-bones-epic-adventure
I haven't abandoned the idea of operating online games, but my Sundays have been taken up by IRL issues.
Notably, last night we had lost power in my neighborhood.
I spent some time trying to convert the site database so I could accept unicode emojis however I need a bit of help from my service provider so I'm awaiting their adjustment of the drivers I use for the mysql system.

There's a lot of folks out there who profess to be players in need of a game to attend. A lot. I used to see their posts in the group when I was on Facebook (I've since deactivated my account as I was spending too much time on Facebook).
A month ago, I posted to the Facebook Dungeons & Dragons group and stated that I am a Dungeonmaster who would be willing to DM an online game for anyone who wished it. No commitments, no wierd requirements....

At repeated request, I've implemented a field on the respective content that will allow folks to designate the campaign that the information belongs to.
None of the systems can currently filter by campaign; I'll implement that when I need it.
So we picked up a new player yesterday who's coming into our Wednesday games. Jay/John Tristiano/Christian has joined the ranks of the intrepid who seek riches and adventure across Calimshan.
Expect to see a character sheet and backstory in the coming days.
Welcome aboard, John!
..I feel like I should have a player profiles section that talks about the players involved.
It's a neat tool and I'm sure the compendium will come in handy some day, but they're creating a rift between physical users and digital users.
Let's say you play D&D. You bought the digital gear because you play online.
Okay, now you have a friend who wants to play. He has two friends who want to play. They have one other friend. Holy shit, never did you think this would happ--go buy all the books sucker.
Wanna play? Pay again!
The unfortunate thing, that so many are loving to point out because it makes them seem smarter, is that Wizards never planned...

"The princess is kidnapped."
I dun care.
"Oh.. alright, the evil wizard is hiring."
I dun care.
"K... uhm, you're playing a bard?"
Ya.
"Alright.. uhm.. k, the town you're in has had a festival going and you've been playing in some bands."
