I apologize for how horridly quiet my sudden leave was. I just didn't think it was possible to play any 3.5e games here without anything to use as a gameboard, and my local community started to be active again, so I found little need to be prowling around online. I'm really sorry about how I left. It was rude and I should have said something.

But I'm back! And I found my answer to my game board/map/whatever problem: Maptool. I'll have to write something about it once I'm more familiar with the program.

The storyteller has returned!

Man has it been a while! It's great to see you again, I think you had the whole inn wondering what happened to you! However, that's all in the past- I'm glad you gave RL the attention it needed at the time. Stuff like that can't go ignored, and it sounds like you put a lot of time into your community. I think that's really quite a good thing.
Looking forward to seeing what you can do with your new map system, too.

In the meantime, WELCOME back to RDI!!

Hello man! yeah I'm glad I'm back, too. If only you were still signed on when I started typing after being back from dinner!!

And whattya mean by Storyteller?

Welcome back!

What I meant by that is you are one of the most knowledgeable DMs of 3.5e and Pathfinder I've ever met, and the games you create are terribly fascinating-- I look forward to playing a game with you because I know you'll tell a terrific story with rich RP opportunities and plenty of plot depth!

I actually try to make the story not as much of a story as it is lore with opportunities for the players to go do stuff.

And I actually don't know much about Pathfinder (not nearly as much as I do for 3.5e btw), just the main differences for skill points and combat and the goals for when Paizo redid the classes and stuff. There's still a lot there I don't know so don't pin me as an expert on that okay????

Now I'm thinking about starting up that Relistan campaign again. Try to see if we can rework it (btw the empty level system I had going is not as good as I hoped, and in all honesty it's better to just be more fluid with the mechanics than the books are with what gets what and stuff).
