DM Rook

[Rook]

I'm generally around 9 - 12 pm EST when I'm on as a DM or player.

I'm am sometimes on over the weekend. No reliable schedule then.

Most of my time is now spent on scripting and testing. But I try to pop on the server now and then to have fun and stay in touch with the community.

Something Slimy This Way Comes

Story: A very odd (some say grotesque) man wanders into the western reaches. Things become a bit messy soon after.

Who: looking for PCs level 4 - 10, alignment and class does not matter
Where: in the vicinity of Isinhold, Redmist, and the roads in between
When: starting soon

Note: Higher level PCs won't have much of a challenge with this plot. If that describes you please stand back and leave this to the PCs this is geared toward. Slightly higher level PCs may become involved toward the end, depending on how events evolve.

Update: Plot put on hold. May resurrect in the future.

The Decision

A one-off event planned for this Saturday, May 23rd, at 11:00 AM EDT. (EDT = GMT - 4). I am looking for PCs level 8 - 16. All classes and alignments are welcome. You don't have to get along with everyone else to take part. Send me a PM with your PCs name, your player name, your PCs classes and levels in each class, and your PCs alignment if you wish to participate. If you are a few levels below 8 or above 16 and want to join send me a PM anyway. I may include you, but I want to keep everyone within 10 levels max. Please send all requests to join to me by Thursday night (the 21st). I'll send replies on Friday letting you know if you are in or not. I may exclude people based on level disparity or party size but will try to include as many as I can.

Watch this thread for further details coming soon.

---------------------------------------------------------

A few more details for the "Decision" plot.

1. I would count on it lasting at least three hours minimum. It could go much longer. A lot depends on how the RP develops.
2. RP is more important than action in this plot. The number one rule is really think about how your PC would act and stick to it. Always remain in character.
3. Come well prepared. I haven't decided yet if I'll provide an opportunity to buy supplies after it starts. If I do, it will be at inflated prices. You have been warned.
4. It is okay to think outside the box.

The story will remain a surprise until it starts.

** This event was successfully completed. **

Trouble on the Docks

A bunch of thugs are causing trouble on the docks of Suzail. At least one warehouse owner has been threatened, maybe others. Who are these thugs? Where do they come from? What do they want?


Note: This story will progress slowly but it is progressing.

Update: This story is aborted. Sorry to disappoint anyone. Perhaps in the future if I have more time to DM and spend less time scripting I may resume it. But for now I think the community is better served with me scripting.

A note about my time.

I anticipate spending less time in-game than I have been. I am shifting focus to work on scripting and addressing some build issues for FRC.

[Rook]

While not giving up all of build responsibilities I have decide to spend some time in the DM chair. Look for a plot to pop up soon.

When I am DMing it will typically be after 9 pm Eastern on weekdays. I don't have a definite schedule yet.

Corruption #### #######

I've started a plot. I'll reveal the full title as progress is made. Expect an event or two next week. In the mean time check out the rumors posted in Rumors of Decay in Dhedluk.^* If you have any questions or want to schedule a time for me to oversee actions your PC might take please send me a PM.

* Events will not be confined to Dhedluk but I won't be involving Greatgaunt. You will have to leave that town to witness what's going on.

[Rook]

A minor event will be taking place Tuesday night, around 10 pm EDT. If you are interested in participating in or witnessing another piece of the puzzle think of a reason to hang out in Thunderstone at that time.

[Rook]

Some of you know your source material and fiction and are starting to put a few pieces together, I think. Please keep in mind that several things you know wouldn't be known by your PC. I ask that you keep it to yourself (or me) and don't act on what hasn't been revealed IG. Plus I may take the plot in a different direction than you're expecting.

[Rook]

The next event is planned for Saturday night, October 30th (Marpenoth 30). I hope to start around 9 pm EDT but it may be 10 pm EDT. Please check back here later for the correct time.

This event will be designed for PCs roughly level 10 - 16. Those a little lower or higher in level may be permitted to join. Don't be shy in asking. There are no restrictions on class, alignment, etc. Be sure to come prepared for an adventure.

I will be planning a future event for the epics and near epics interested in this plot. Sometimes I need to pick and choose but I'll try to be inclusive eventually.

[Rook]

I hope to start around 9 pm EDT today but we may have to wait on a few players. Some of the background may begin before everyone is there. I don't want to make it a really late night.

With the holidays and a big "build" project behind me I plan to resume this plot.
