Another Beginning

It's been waaaay too long since our group had gamed. The last time blades broke and spells slung was November of 2005. The group got lucky to have run two sessions then. Come to think of it, those two were the only sessions for the whole year of 2005! Echoes of despair and awful gnashing of teeth from the players would have the DM scurrying for something from his handy bag of wondrous excuses. Good thing there's basketball though.

I admit the DM's precious time is split between work, family, and girlfriend priorities (the latter getting the larger chunk). Too little time left to think of devious traps, design cool NPCs, or to toy away with hamlets, villages, towns, cities, magic items, monsters--they're all shamelessly tucked away somewhere in the back of the head deprived of the care and attention they need.

But the echoes of despair and gnashing of teeth haven't stopped (it's like the players hired someone to cast permanency on them). So it's time to get my tools of destruction and blow the dust over those books. It's time to get the gang rolling once more across the face of Faerun! It's time to don the DM guise once more. It's time to practice my die rolling since I really, really suck at die rolling.

But before that, it's time to straighten my busy schedules first.
