To be fair, I've left some of the worst details out for him.  And he's still got some more kid-oriented details in mind... but he helped me figure out the framework that works. 

That said, one of his ideas - while perhaps not as horrible as what I had in mind - was a pretty direct "screw you guys, you're gonna die" type thing.   

My boy!

You raised him well!

Just wanted to point out what a superb "fluff" post Reralae just made.  Really breathed life into the character, I absolutely LOVED it.

*sniffle* your kid sounds awesome. *sniffle sniffle* one day he will make his d&d players' lives dark and full of terrors *wipes away a tear* it's going to be incredible.

A Bladesinger!! We have a Bladesinger!!  Loved the post. 

You're all too kind, I'm just happy that I'm making good performance checks

Slight edit on the post to add to it; it's been a while and I definitely need to remember that it's possible in this format to preemptively provide responses to foreseen comments or queries

PS. So what you're saying Olan, is that those rumours of party wipes in other games wasn't exaggerated? 

Hey folks.

I have reached out privately to a couple of you, and then realized that this really deserves to be more of a group announcement.

I've made joking references to the ick factor ramping up heavily in the near future, which is absolutely the case.  The final act of this story takes the plot into incredibly disturbing, dark places.  You've seen the "silver screen" posts that look into some of the dark forces and their activites, so you know at least some of what is going on.

As anyone with any sense of plot can tell, the party is about to find themselves in the middle of these goings-on.  This is some very dark, twisted, horrific, adult-oriented territory we are about to travel.  And yes, I've warned about it from the beginning.

With that said, this is a game.  The entire point of playing a game is to have fun. 

Therefore, if things get too dark or out of hand, please feel free to reach out to me privately, and I will edit or tone things down.   The base plot is here, but I don't want to trigger anyone, to cause anyone to feel uncomfortable - I don't want to kill anyone's fun.  You are playing heros who stop evil, so I don't want to focus on the evil so much as to legitimately bother anyone. 

I'm of the mindset that we truly see the light when it is contrasted with the darkness, so my intention is to delve into that darkness.  But again, this is a game - I do not want to cause offense or hurt feelings in any of you.  If it goes too far, do not hesitate to reach out.

...that you think I mgiht be offended.

I've written some pretty dark and disturbing stuff of my own, of course, and I doubt that whatever is coming will offend me, personally. That said, I do appreciate the warning.

As much as I joke about it, I'm down with the ick factor! Bring it on!
I also really, really appreciate the open communication and touching base with players. That in and of itself is pretty awesome.

Let's do this thing!

Nice job, Brom. 

Man, every post is a treat to read.

Didn't think I'd be able to get to it until next week, but man it's been a slooooow day

I was excited to see that you had posted... I see that I wasn't let down. 

Happy to oblige ^___^

A Brom post and a Breebles post!
