This will be a space of mine where I plan to organize my ideas, my current ongoing plots, publicize my schedule, and any hints, pointer of guidelines I feel necessary.



Should you have any thoughts, notes, or comments I ask you reserve them for PMs.


I shall post any reccomendations as far as player behaviour goes in an event of mine, first, followed by the current schedule, finally any notes for the active campaigns. My plan includes updating this regularly, but the day only has 24 hours.

JMBROSENDO's Golden Rules:

Despite the title, these are not rules in it's literal sense. I expect each player to read and follow these, but will not enforce anything. I shall only use common sense and kick out any person being abusively disruptive. In all my History dming that was never necessary. Was close once, but the players took the initiative in their own hands, and kicked him themselves.


- Keep to party chat at all times, when possible. This allows me to keep track of dialogue produced and plans even when I am not near the players. Most of the time, I will be in another area setting everything up in advance and planning.

- On the other hand, remember that those outside the party will not see what you type in, so if encountering another player, check your "/p" sign before hitting Enter.

- Even if not requested always stay in a single party. Keep a small eye for anyone who crashed or has asked to join the group in mid session.

- Keep yourselves grouped. Separating or straying is sometimes a necessity, but forces the DM to constantly jump around all over the place. This will have an impact on the fluidity of the session, ultimately on the quality. Players will have to stop and converse with one another if only one had met an encounter, as well as making the DM more susceptible to error.

- Do not produce OOC comments, unless you're letting all know you will be AFK. Use tells, if you need to speak to another player. Good witt once in a while may lighten the moods, a barrage of it, breaks immersion, breaks the line of thought

- Should you have any comments or suggestions on how the event went, make note of it and save them for the end of the event. Be sensible and reasonable if you are displeased by anything, and do not ruin the fun for the rest. I take all criticisms seriously, and am not shut to anyones complaints. Just have too much to worry and focus already, please understand.

- Always respect all who are a part of the event, or scenario.

Current Plots Overview and schedule:


Use this as reference before any personal request, as suggestions you may have regarding setting times and dates.


- I am currently setting things up to get the Night Hunters campaign up to speed, and keep things in motion regularly. Apart from the Shevarashans, this will include participation of interested drow parties, as the story will revolve above and below surface.


- There will be a free form series of events, open for all, in a series of one shot events, with a central theme. They will not revolve around a group of players or be dependeont on them, but the story will shift and progress based on what the players do and achieve. For this I will keep all progress updated in the RP forums. Look for the schedule below, any blank spots are possible days for the next event.


The rest is confidencial or not set into stone. As I said updates may vary in regularity. But I shall keep the schedule up to date as best as possible.

Schedule:

(after the flood, everything is a bit random, right now)

Friday, 5th of March: Continuation of last weeks event, Setolomolax's deadline, the search of the two wizards and the missing Tear. Will being at the same time as past Friday, around 2200 GMT.

Wednesday, 3rd of March till Sunday 7th: unable to set any plans in advance.



Any questions regarding the time, send me a PM.

As you can see pretty much laid and bare for now, it is a work in progress.

((it has been recurring for me, I am unable to login during weekends, at peak hours, and getting worse. I'll try to make time tomorrow at afternoon, european times.))

Besides bumping this up a bit ,


I will be taking in and accepting player submitted backgrounds of their characters.


This will be very helpfull for all us DM's to help further character growth and progression. And create plots events, campaigns.


I only ask you be sensible and concise when possible. No need to write an entire book. Anything over the top, such as my father was ruler of the 665th layer of Hell, and is now hellbent on destroying Baldur's gate, because I happen to live there, is not going to stick either.




What I ask is the following:

Player login:

Character name:

Race:

Class/classes::

Background:

Personality:

Goals/objectives:

What are your expectations:




Thank you,


DM Fandango

Thanks to all who sent bios so far, I have posted all on the DM Forums.


I may be away a couple of days more, mainly for work, wife's depression, and dedicating what little free time I have left to work on some scripts, and solve some issues.

I'll be reviewing any sent and reply tonight or tomorrow, see what can be arranged in terms of times and dates.
