I just realised that my original post went to the DQ list. I had intended
the post about the treasure to go to William, not to all and sundry.
Somebody, take  me out and bloody shoot me.

For the guild meeting we could:

I would like to have a meeting of all the adventuring skills and give ppl
some things to do. We could break off into rangers, spys, coutiers warriors
etc.
A meeting of all the spys could contain info on the difference provences and
some requests for info. We could appt someone guild master whose job it is
the liaise with GMs to find out what is going on in the world. GMs could put
info requests in relating to their campaigns.I reckon we could have 2
professions scheduled to meet each guild meeting and ppl could choose to go
to them or not based on the character they were playing next session.

For example we could have a coutier meeting with desriptions of social
standing of the ppl in Cazala and the courtiers could be directed to find
further info on aspects of our social landscape.
Ppl could write summaries of their finding for the wiki or for their guild
meetings.

What do you think?

Useful if games are on-world. Courtier / spy etc info irrelevant for most
off-world games.

 

Speaking of which, while GMs are welcome to run games on or off-world, part
of our campaign revolves around a shared world. Perhaps the GM ep bribe
could be moderated to reflect the greater value to the campaign of games in
shared spaces, which means most but not all on-world games, and few
off-world games. This obviously only makes sense if others think that games
partaking in a common background are of additional value. I know some don't
agree. This doesn't mean those games are better, or better-run, just of more
long-term benefit.

Bring back the dark circle or some new version - Many months of certain doom
lurking quite close on the map.  Feeling like there was a clear and present
danger made us avoid it together.  Also it gives a reason for the courtiers
to plot together.

Useful if games are on-world. Courtier / spy etc info irrelevant for most
off-world games.

 

Speaking of which, while GMs are welcome to run games on or off-world, part
of our campaign revolves around a shared world. Perhaps the GM ep bribe
could be moderated to reflect the greater value to the campaign of games in
shared spaces, which means most but not all on-world games, and few
off-world games. This obviously only makes sense if others think that games
partaking in a common background are of additional value. I know some don't
agree. This doesn't mean those games are better, or better-run, just of more
long-term benefit.

For the guild meeting we could:

 

I would like to have a meeting of all the adventuring skills and give ppl
some things to do. We could break off into rangers, spys, coutiers warriors
etc.

A meeting of all the spys could contain info on the difference provences and
some requests for info. We could appt someone guild master whose job it is
the liaise with GMs to find out what is going on in the world. GMs could put
info requests in relating to their campaigns.I reckon we could have 2
professions scheduled to meet each guild meeting and ppl could choose to go
to them or not based on the character they were playing next session.

 

For example we could have a coutier meeting with desriptions of social
standing of the ppl in Cazala and the courtiers could be directed to find
further info on aspects of our social landscape.

Ppl could write summaries of their finding for the wiki or for their guild
meetings. 

 

What do you think?

 

Bridget

SubjectRe: [dq] Andrew's idea for annoying DMs who don't use Alusia
FromJim Arona
DateSat, 16 Oct 2010 20:46:16 +1300
Partake means 'eat'.

I have almost no interest in running a game on Alusia, although if
someone approached me I might consider it. And, if you won't continue
to bribe me, I will see one less reason in continuing to DM in DQ.

If you won't honour my efforts because I choose not to run my game in
your pathetic sandbox world, find someone else to DM you. I don't see
you spoilt for choice, here. We, as a group, are already short of
people willing to put in the undeniably greater effort it takes to run
a game. I wonder what possible value there might be in an attempt to
disincentivise the ones we have. Okay, I've stopped wondering now.

In any case, I don't see any way of enforcing such a rule, since I
could just run the first night of the adventure at the bottom of a
longdrop toilet in Seagate, if only to provide a motivation to leave
the wretched plane behind.

More seriously I do like Bridget's idea.  Two of my most memorable DQ
experiences are the 'battle of Carlsons switch' an email only adventure
involving about 30 players - and the Luna games involving 3 GM's and 20 odd
players both very fun. (Luna Games was hard to organise I know).  Stuff that
involves people across games and socially at the guild meeting seems good.

 

Cheers Hamish

Bring back the dark circle or some new version - Many months of certain doom
lurking quite close on the map.  Feeling like there was a clear and present
danger made us avoid it together.  Also it gives a reason for the courtiers
to plot together.

Useful if games are on-world. Courtier / spy etc info irrelevant for most
off-world games.

 

Speaking of which, while GMs are welcome to run games on or off-world, part
of our campaign revolves around a shared world. Perhaps the GM ep bribe
could be moderated to reflect the greater value to the campaign of games in
shared spaces, which means most but not all on-world games, and few
off-world games. This obviously only makes sense if others think that games
partaking in a common background are of additional value. I know some don't
agree. This doesn't mean those games are better, or better-run, just of more
long-term benefit.

 

 

Regards

 

Andrew

Subject: [dq] Bridget's idea for lively Guild Meetings

 

For the guild meeting we could:

 

I would like to have a meeting of all the adventuring skills and give ppl
some things to do. We could break off into rangers, spys, coutiers warriors
etc.

A meeting of all the spys could contain info on the difference provences and
some requests for info. We could appt someone guild master whose job it is
the liaise with GMs to find out what is going on in the world. GMs could put
info requests in relating to their campaigns.I reckon we could have 2
professions scheduled to meet each guild meeting and ppl could choose to go
to them or not based on the character they were playing next session.

 

For example we could have a coutier meeting with desriptions of social
standing of the ppl in Cazala and the courtiers could be directed to find
further info on aspects of our social landscape.

Ppl could write summaries of their finding for the wiki or for their guild
meetings. 

 

What do you think?

 

Bridget
