This means I have to describe 16 D&D sessions' worth of plot events. Or, at the very least, describe everything that took place in Doma, Riva, Nekonia, and the surrounding areas that anyone would have noticed, because someone would've noticed at least some of the things that happened.
The good news is that the first nine sessions are already summarized in full on my weblog. If you're curious where that's at, I'm archmage_brian on livejournal. Obviously, those entries are public, and anyone can read them (apparently, some people already have--I've linked them before). The bad news, depending on your attention span, is that those are a lengthy read, and I don't want to force everyone to deal with that. Therefore, I intend to summarize the important stuff that would be noticed or affect the vast majority of RPers (unless you happen to live on Ka'thalar, in which case you might've noticed New Nekonia being completely razed by black dragons, but otherwise, most of the damage done was to fringe communities in northern Doma and western Riva).
I intend to summarize that stuff here, in this thread. I will likely do that tomorrow, because it is comparatively late at night. I also intend to finish the full summary in my weblog in case anyone cares.
My plans are to resume chat GMing at RPGWW over the summer, which for me will begin in a matter of three or four weeks. I'll likely have a job, but it's highly improbable that it will consume every spare moment of my vacation, so I'll have time to do some GMing. As I mentioned, part of why I'm making these events canon is so that my friends involved in the D&D campaign (Kai you already know--one other expressed interest as well) can include them in their character backstories when they RP here. This means that I'm going to be looking for volunteers that might potentially want to be involved in chat RPs that I would be running. At present, I'm vacillating as to what system I should use--a patched up Philsys is one possibility, but I'm leaning heavily towards sticking with d20 for the ease of those friends I mentioned. If you know D&D 3/3.5, I'd gladly consider your participation in these Gaeran chat RPs. If you don't, it's easy to learn, and I'm willing to teach people how the system works. Interested parties should keep in mind that specific character talents and abilities will not translate well to D&D. Because of where my game left off, the characters involved would be fairly high level--something like level 15. This means that any character you create can have a lot of power and would allow for flexibility with multiclassing, prestige classes, and races with level adjustments (dragonhalves are a prime example). Obviously, character personalities can translate 100%, but things like special Philsys spells or techs would have to be ignored and the character's abilities would have to be melded into the d20 system's list of available spells or whatever.
Anyway, I'm just posting this here as a placeholder for when I include actual summary, to let people know what the hell is going on, and to recruit potentials for what will likely be a set of relatively high-level D&D RPs this summer.
Game on!
Edit: I mispelled "relevant." How embarrassing! <p>
