Health Update

I posted about the current state of things over on my family site. I can't post a game schedule yet, but it looks like we will be back on track since I don't have to go through more surgery or chemo or anything like that. Keep those character ideas rolling.

Population mix-up

I have been indicating to some of you that large Atepeshite cities would house millions of people. I've done some homework and in fact the numbers should come more in-line with those listed in the DMG. That means numbers around 40,000 for big cities. Hwt-ka-Atep will be the exception and house roughly 1 million inhabitants.

New Health Info

I wrote up a new post viewable at this address. I hope to be back in action soon. Given that I only get the surgical dressing out by probably next Friday, we probably are going to have to move at least one more week. Better now than in mid-stream though.

Game Delay

Some of you know about what's up with me already, but if you do or don't, please head over to this important piece of news and catch up. The game is almost without doubt going to have to be postponed for at least a week. Even if I am around this weekend in a normal capacity, I don't want to have everyone create characters and get into the flow, then sit out for a week or more.

So, let's postpone till the 19th. Hopefully by then we can get going in ernest. Stay tuned each week and I'll let you know if I have to delay further. Until then, keep your character concepts and questions coming. It's a great diversion and it's useful too.

Another Update

I have slightly changed the Atepeshite Dwarf heat-oriented racial trait to reflect a more complete set of rules on the subject. In addition, I have modified the Natural Spell feat. Read up on that in the House Rules section.

Mapping

I'd like to get some feedback regarding how you guys feel about in-game mapping. Do you like that dimension of the game if handled in a reasonable way, do you hate it, or do you not much care one way or the other?

Ben's Movie Night

I just wanted to see who might be attending Ben's Movie Night on Sunday. I think this will be a great opportunity to pal around, have some fun, exchange character creation ideas, and pose some live questions to Andy or Kenny about the game.

I hope to see you all there.

Prestige Classes

A prestige class list has been added to the Classes page of this site. I am happy to answer any questions you may have about them at any time.

D&D Humor

If you have a few spare minutes, you'll be doing yourself a favor by reading The Worst Dungeon Master Ever. It has 3 parts and a rebuttal, and it's worth every minute. Have a good one.

Game Goals

Before we get deeply into character-building and so forth, what do you guys all want from this D&D game? I'd love to get a bunch of comments on this so we can run a game that really pops with as many people as possible. Post as many as you like too, even if they seem contradictory, which I could see given the context of this post.

• I want to kill a lot of monsters.
• I want to be able to develop a storyline.
• I want to learn the rules better or feel more comfortable with D&D.
• I don't want to have to think about it too much.
• I want to have to think about it a fair amount.
• I want my character to be popular and in control.
• I just like hanging out, so the actual game content is less of a deal.

Fire away.
