Hello!
I just have noticed that I've not been as around on the forums as I'd like, and wanted to rectify that! I, as some of you may remember from years gone by, am Rase Cidraen, co-founder of the Dark Queen of the West (shameless plug below).
I wanted to get a feel for how the community was doing, and see if anyone wanted to chat about anything at all!
I look forward to talking to you.
Best,
Rase

Now when I come on here, I see all kinds of names that I don't recognize (with a few of the old timers still around of course). Great to see the torch still being carried!
I personally have stolen a lot from these 2 guys! Gaaran's "Fantastinomicon":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/the-fantastinomicon and "Melekar Chronicles":http://www.obsidianportal.com/campaigns/melekar are musts, as are all 3 of "Rase's Campaigns":http://www.obsidianportal.com/profile/Rase%20Cidraen
Good to see you both still around.

PS- Where are the After Action Reports for Dark Queen?
Just trying to help out.
Cheers,

I'm getting on my characters to get the AARs written, but we're a bit more laid back than we had been previously about a number of things - it used to be much tighter when we had everyone on board, but we've suffered some downsizing recently.
Arsheesh - if the players don't seem inclined to use the Wiki, that is a totally sensical decision you're making. Of course, it's sad because I love reading about what's going on in each of the worlds as best I can, but if there's no value in it, or time, then it makes sense.
Anyone working on any fun projects?
Rase
Dark Queen still looking very cool.
Presently, I am in a slow process of setting up a background for a new campaign to start sometime in 2014.
I wouldn't say there is much happening just yet, and most of the "FUN" is just me learning about Wolfgang Baur's "Midgard", which is the setting I am going to use.
Trying to keep everything a lot simpler than my last campaign......and less epic.
I am finding the Forums getting more and more "techy" and so have been finding less stuff to read, as all the new CSS, API, etc. posts become a bit bewildering, but I am keenly looking forward to the Kickstarter stuff. In the meantime, I trundle forward but am taking it easy - making sure I don't "BURN MYSELF OUT"!

I've been reading all the Dresden Files novels, toying with the idea of running a game set in San Antonio, but still mostly focused on the Zeroed game I already started and Age of the Dragons that I want to. Not really sure yet.
Age of the Dragons - Homebrew Fantasy | Edurance of Hope - Age of Rebellion
Nominate a Campaign for Campaign of the Month!
Yeah, the forums have been more techy than in times past, but I aim to change that!
Saethone, it has been a while! I love me some Dresden! Let me know if you ever go ahead with it, and I will gladly help as I can.
Likewise, Frank, it has been too long. I say we party it up in here!
Dark Queen is still one of the more impressive sites round here, good to see it's maestros return

What sort of things to you guys feel would make your campaigns feel more complete? More player involvement? More content? More time?
Rase
All of those things. But "more player involvement" definitely provides the most satisfaction for the GM. In the recent HASTE podcast, the question was asked: "What is the best gift you can give your GM?" They came up with the notion: "Give the GM the gift of YOUR ATTENTION." I think this was nicely put, and very true.

I remember ages ago there was a 'motivating your players' thread, which contained some interesting tidbits, but it comes down to the player actually wanting to involve themselves.
How's the planning for Mysteria going? Anything fun on that end? Anything you'd like help with?
Rase
As should anyone that is a GM that wants to discuss plot ideas!!

I think it is time to resurrect the "Work Exchange":http://forums.obsidianportal.com/comments.php?DiscussionID=2275&page=1

Keelah Se'lai is from Mass Effect. It's a quarian saying, usually in farewell. Means "By the homeworld I hope to see one day."
I like it, and like it better than my old "Live Long and Prosper" I used to use. Also, Tali says it, and Tali has their Minsc/BG2 tribute lines (which is where my pic for the site is from), so it's also an inside joke (Tali shouts "Go For The Eyes!" in combat to her drone, much like MInsc would yell "Go for the eyes, boo!").

Characters are all set and they look to be a “nice” bunch of folks. I have given everyone a free Bard cantrip and a free PERFORMANCE SKILL and the idea is that they will all be a group of musicians and collectors of “Mysteria” (hence the name). Not geared to start until sometime in 2014.
Thanks for the offer of help. I may send you a short PM to tap into your TECH knowledge.

Twiggy - got your PM, and I'll see what I can do to help you out there. I like the idea of everyone being somewhat bardic - something more campaigns could use more of!
