NPC = Non-Player Character

Note: A NPC Cameo Appearance entails the act of a player playing a character for no experience award, essentially. The character is sometimes reoccuring, usually more powerful than the normal characters, and mostly there for plot-related purposes at the discretion of me, the DM.

[Working on redoing and expanding this section.]

DR = Dalereckoning; W#X = Week Number X; D#X = Day Number X
Notes: The most commonly accepted calender across Faerun is the one based on the Dalereckoning, where (for the first time in history) both elves and humans consolidated their calenders into one, called the Calendar of Harptos. The calender is divided into 365 days, with 12 months, each respectively divided into three weeks (or tendays). The five leftover days are celebrated holidays: Midwinter, Greengrass, Midsummer, Highharvestide, and the Feast of the Moon. Each month has an official name (bolded) and a common name (parenthesised).

House Rules & Systems

[to be posted]
(Will include: Roleplaying Experience System, Fate Point System, Side-Run System, and whatever else I use and think of putting here.)

DM Notes

- Now that Act One is complete, it is time for me to sit down and plan. Also, brush up on the core rulebooks, and thoroughly explore the books I picked up during the semester and never got a chance to really read. Not to mention, there'll be the books I plan to purchase during the Summer, for reference and use. I was satisfied with how Act One went down, in the Spring Semester, but my intention is to make Act Two go much smoother and with less of a hitch. I'm a perfectionist, so one accomplishment leads to revision and greater accomplishment, ideally.
- Next semester, I do plan on incorporating cameo appearances from other people, outside of the group. Ideally, I will no longer be using any of the players as NPC Cameos, and, instead, will have other people doing that . . . This will keep Jordan or anyone else having to create characters to play, outside of their main one. Everett and Zach have both offered to serve as Cameos, so I will probably use them, along with a few possible other options.

- Due to unfortunate circumstance, Jordan's private run never did happen in the Spring Semester. It will be the first side-run to happen in the Fall, I swear.
- Interest has been expressed in a Summer run. Nothing is definite, but I would not be opposed to having one. Plans to be brewed at a later date.

- Still not that impressive at running combat scenarios, so I need more practice and should refresh on all the rules (not to mention read the more obscure ones). Can't say I expected to have furnitured pushed out windows, but I'm not complaining -- It was the zombies who ended up underneath the furniture that should complain.
- Should work on producing a quick and simple reference chart template for running combat -- namely, for things like initiative order, HPs, and AC. It would probably help to smooth the flow of combat out.
- Now that I'm working with higher levels, that corresponds to deadlier and more developed encounters. I have every intention of making the people met and fought just that much more interesting and detailed. Heh, I can work with Prestige Classes and many more feats, now . . . Hopefully, I want to get away from having bland and generic NPC encounters that do more than just fight and die.

- All of my players are such excellent roleplayers . . . Seriously, it's always impressive and amusing to watch them play. I just wanted to put that here, because I love my players.
- My apologies for the bad timing and delays that have been occurring in the past few runs. I hope to remedy these sort of things by being a bit more prepared and organised, henceforth.

- I have all Summer to make this website better. Huzzah.
