Shadow War campaign OOC Thread

Bah, I suck at geography. I've been staring at that map so long my eyes are going purple and I can't figure out what all the white dots are on. Perhaps you could just list the names of the places for us?

(And wtf is up with the one that's on the left that's off the map entirely?)

[Navarre]

I'm going to have to stop writing for tonight.

I must have reached a whole new plane of writing...my NPCs are actually coming up with their own ideas without me. 

[Gaumer]

I live at the end of a holler road. It's currently after 11 and I can hear 4 wheelers running up and down the road, very loudly with the people riding on the yelling like idiots. I was just going to go get my gun and shoot a few off the next time they come through when I read Gaumer's tag line. lol

I live in the burbs and I get 4 wheelers all the time

I think its the more south you go...

I imagine everyone in Georgia just drives 4 wheelers all the time

[Navarre]

I'll have to get back to the map and the conversation about Bronwyn tomorrow.

This is the strangest chapter I've written yet. 

[sab39]

Oh good, I have some time to figure out how to get T'Ning to be sufficiently superlative about Rachel...

[Navarre]

 

She's something, gotta say.

I almost didn't write it in because I want the players to have the spotlight. It's your game to figure out.

But I really couldn't not write Rachel's epiphany and more than I could avoid Vinnrog's reaction to Inoke or anything else. I have to write the NPCs as they are.

But it's blown my mind that the NPC came up with something before I thought of it myself. That doesn't seem possible...and yet...

[Web.Metz]

Here is a animation comparing the locations of the holes and my teleportation locations.

[Navarre]

You're a cool dude, Metz. Anyone ever tell you that? 

I'll post toward Uma's map in a few minutes, clarifying some things. Also, where the compass points.

[Navarre]

There goes Metz again, asking all the right questions. 

[Gaumer]

That IS freaking awesome! Better than having 5 tabs open...as I was doing

Gracias amigo

EDIT: Stupid uni-lingual spell check

[Navarre]

I hope no one's too lost. I'm hoping the situation that is understood so far is:

1) The Ravager is bad, at least "bad" in the sense that she seems pretty certain to destroy the universe if she isn't stopped.
2) Marcus is impersonating Illumian and has been since the Ascension. He has hidden the Primordial, Einshar, and Totems (unless some/all were destroyed).
3) You have a chance to bring many varying groups of people into unification; now, even Illumian's worshipers.
4) Uma's map suggests possible locations for the missing gods and/or Totems.
5) The Elves are apparently alive and living somewhere west of Gallia.
6) Marcus seems to fear Bronwyn (and who wouldn't?) but she knows about him now. This will likely change both their plans so you need to adapt as well.
7) All the other clues and things.

Now it seems to be a matter of what to do about all of the above.

[Gaumer]

I think at this point our next move is really important.

We are currently under the plan of gathering forces, and I think we should still do that, but I think our rush, although still appropriate, isn't quite as necessary. Do we even still need to meet with DT? With all we have to do I'm a bit more worried about sleep for my character than the DT thing.

With all we have to search, where is DT still ranking in our itinerary? What happens if we ditch them now that things are different? Its really the only thing we have to do that is getting in the way of everything else we have to do. Everything else, we are hoping at least, builds to doing the next thing on the list. There has to be a way to make the DT thing work the same way.

Hammer

Wanted to show off the hammer replica a guy had made at FCBD on Saturday.

[Navarre]

That is very cool!

He made the hammer head and axe head more proportional to each other too. I like that.

Who's that guy in the middle who looks like Carrot Top on acid?

Also:

Uma and the priests remaining in Shrine Island should use the Pages to distribute them liberally among the church hierarchy continent-wide (including the Luminator leadership and the Church in Abermarle Green. These are people we don't know yet so she should use her best judgment there.


Edited slightly since originally posting (and renumbered) - I forgot Lord Bragendol and I put a few extra in for Eastland because I didn't feel like I'd allowed enough for the leaders of the elves and the Legion combined.
