[Online Adventure Log]

I created this blog for several purposes. Firstly, it can act as an online journal of our adventures, making for handy & quick reference if you need a refresher on where things were left at the end of each session.

I will do my best to update this each week (within 24-48 hours of the session) but also want this site to be useful (and used) by all of the players and the DM. Also, I may need help on occasion in writing the entries if I get busy in the "Real World" so if anyone is willing and interested that is most welcome. You may even be able to talk our DM into giving you a wee bit of extra XP as a gift for your hard work, but that is up to you to negotiate! =)

Other contributions can include, but are not limited to, the following:
  • Character-centric thoughts, artwork, stories...anything you want to put up about your avatar that you want the party to know (and assume that they would know, having talked with you). This might also include your character's interpretation of events. My party log entries will ATTEMPT to be as impartial as possible, and not from Teuvdar's point of view. However, there is nothing to say one cannot post something that is more specific to the character (and more opinionated!). You may even wish to create your own blog site for your character...
  • Artwork in general...especially maps, come to mind. But also artistic representations of things we have seen or done, for those who are inclined.
  • Please spellcheck me and correct errors. Also, if I leave out an important detail from the session, please comment.
  • DM (Ian) is considered Master Editor on this stuff, so I look to him to correct any major errors in story continuity, NPC/setting appearance or motive descriptions. He will also be final authority on what other materials (such as maps) we can publish. Lastly, it is possible to restrict this blog to viewing only be invitation--at present it is public--but I can change it if we wish. The initial posts I put on the site were intended to give an idea of where things might go, but I may have interpreted the scenery wrong and if so please let me know. For instance, Tanimura may look NOTHING like that in Ian's mind.
You will need a blogger account (FREE) to post to this page, and you will need permissions from me to do it. Once you have your account set up, send me your login screenname and I will add you to the permissions for the site.

Lastly, using this is not compulsory. But, I would like to get feedback from those who are using it (if anyone) and whether it's helpful or not. After all, if no one is using it, probably not a need to continue. So, do let me know what you think.
