gaming drain

Now I am sure that we have all had this problem before all you Games Masters out there. Game drain. For me I can DM/GM/Storyteller for about half a year before I just slump into a corner. Being a GM is a hard thing to do constantly havign to have the game ready to go keeping your players in check, making sure you know wtf you are talking about, etc. After a while you justn eed someone to take over. Now at times like trhis I would hand over the rains to Kaiketsu who could run a game whislt I recharged however now with his new job his work schedule is more messed up than mine. This means if I were to take a break no games would ensue, this would be a dissapointment to my players as they all seem to enjoy the game im currently running.


However if I were to continuethe quality of sessions would suffer due to my lack of intrest in the game and thus my players wouldnt want to play once more. So so far the plan is to play out the final scenario for the 1st part of the campaign and then take a week or 2 breather get my notes together and resume and prehaps see if we can find a games master to alternate with me on a week by week basis.

My advice to any GM who finds himself in the same rut: if its not fun anymore take a break for a bit and come back refreshed.

Of Gods and men part 3

Wow. I really need to keep on top of blogging huh. Well hey there folks im back once more. I had a lil blogging hiatus as well ... I'M LAZY OK!
But yeah mving on with regards to my new campaign (which is now known as Keeping the peace) is going strong. We have had players drop and new players join but all in all it is a fun romp through the world. I will post  later on about what's going on and the current group later but for now lets get back to THE GODS!

The sisters (Lilith, Aldornia, Ostrogotho)- goddesses of evil dragons
Greater Deities
Symbol:3 headed dragon
Home Plane:
Alignment: Evil
Worshippers: Evil Dragons
Cleric Alignments:LE (Lilith), CE (Aldornia), NE (Ostrogotho)
Domains:
Favoured Weapons: 

The Sisters as they are known are Tiamats successors. Also known as the daughters of tiamat these 3 half dragons now collectively control her power. It was they who helped slay many of the old gods and they who made bahamut disappear.

Stefryanous – God of Moral and Logical Truths
Greater Deity
Symbol:Four Pointed Star
Home Plane:
Alignment: Neutral Good
Worshippers: The good and open minded
Cleric Alignments:Any Good
Domains: Good, Healing, Strength, Knowledge, Protection, Sun
Favored Weapons: Two-bladed Sword

Not a great deal is known about this new god, which in itself suggests that before ascension he was of humble or at least unknown status. What is known is that he asks nothing of his followers other than that they follow the path of good. He seems to prefer reasoning with both logic and morality making him popular with lawful and chaotic alike. His seemingly soft nature however has led to conflict between his followers and those of Azeroth, whether there’s conflict between the gods themselves is unknown. It is mused that he must have been chosen to ascend for a reason and that his weapon of choice suggests there’s more to him than is currently known.

Now Stefryanous is not my creation. He is a god Al designed fr the campaign based on this charming fellow. Al wanted a god to fit his Paladin  of Freedom, as none of the gods i had designed took his fancy I gave al the leeway to create a new God provided he set up his back story, domains, worshipers, favoured weapon. Basicaly all the Stuff i was too lazy to do. 

any way this is where  ishall elave off for now. Until next year .. probably.

Of Gods and Men part 2

Azeroth is the law bringer and slayer of Pelor. He is the patron of the Empire of Azeroth which he founded in his Mortal days. Azeroth created a pure human society, no off shoots. No Half elves, no shifters, no teiflings. The only exception to this rule has been the asimar who after his ascension are believed to be blessed by Azeroth. Azeroth from his youth believed those who were not pure human to be a weakness. He also sees other races as lesser beings to humans.
His pet hate is Demons and even though he permits other races and half casts to live (albeit a second class citizens i nhis eyes) demons and those with demon blood in there veins are abominations and must be purged from the world.
He Slew Pelor for believing him to be too soft upon law breakers and took his power for his own.

He then led a rebellion what lasted 100 years until he ascended. He constructed a plane which was one enormous creation forge from which new warforged are created and are sent to the mortal plane every 20 years. Only 20 warforged are sent to the realm every 20 years however there is a legend of a island made of metal where hundreds if not thousands of warforged lives.

No body could be found with the other bodies of the recently deceased gods in the astral plane. He now has his servants seek out clues to Bahamuts whereabouts. so far he has had no success. His rivals are the Granddaughters of tiamat the 5 half dragon sisters who have taken timamts power in her stead.

Of gods and men

Hey folks well I gotta say im failing at blogging huh. My audio blogs are mia till i can find a new host and yeah. But non the less I have come to inform you good mortals that I am still alive and working on stuff.

So a few months back we started a new D&D non IK game entitled a land of high adventure(soon to be named the new age).
This was a all day trial run of using sanity in old 3.5 d20 and to test out what I had so far for concepts Orcs with honour stumped my players.
But yeah Currently i am building upon the campaign. The plan is to change round alot of things. 1st of Which is the Patheons.

I Have Decided some time ago there was a god war. The Mysterious over pantheon helped Mortals upon the physical plane gain god hood and slowly they grew in power until they came into conflict with the old gods. The old Gods are now dead, in hiding, exiled to the mortal plane or imprisoned.

SO now the new Gods rule over the mortal plane and the inhabitants have adapted to this regime change. infact under the new gods alot of advancement has begun. New technologies, ideas, etc.

But For now lets look at the new players.

Baadish - New Orc God

Greater Deity

Symbol:
Home Plane:
Alignment: Lawful Good
Worshippers: Orcs, warriors
Cleric Alignments: LG
Domains: Good, War, Law, Strength
Favoured Weapons: Great sword

 Baadish was a Orc revolutionary who carved out a Orc kingdom and helped Drachenstien and Felis Slay Tiamat. Fought and defeated Gruumsh and imprisoned him deep within the earth.

He is opposed to Azeroth. When they were still Mortals Azeroth and Baadish were oppossed to each other as Azeroth viewed non humans as lower forms of life and had no problems exterminating there kind. The 2 gods still are set against each otheras Azeroths ideals are carried on by his worshippers.

FELIS - God of the Hunt and Catfolk

Intermediate Deity 
Symbol:Cats Paw
Home Plane: Savana
Alignment: Neutral
