What it's about will depend on what levels I get. Lowbies are mercenaries or adventurers being employed by various parties to support and protect against various hostilities during the Trade War. This is the Road of Blood storyline.

Midbies and Highbies will be employed by Waterdeep, Baldur's Gate, and various merchants in a direct effort to influence the Trade War. Which story you get involved in will depend on who shows up.

My style is simple: If you can give me reasonable justification for doing something in game, there's a good chance I'll see if I can replicate it in-engine. Some things, like fly, require a bit of jitteriness, so there is a lot of pausing in combat at times. When not using make shift abilities, I do 10 second pauses every six seconds to give players time to react and talk in character. If you cannot handle pausing, I am not the DM for you.

I do use most if not all abilities, magics, and this campaign is grand scale within the region. There are plenty of opportunities for varying PCs. I consider it a mix of intrigue and combat. I even tried to start a small investigation team that would tie into the campaign, but the players disappeared.

pragmatic (adj.)
The opposite of idealistic is pragmatic, a word that describes a philosophy of "doing what works best."
From Greek pragma "deed," the word has historically described philosophers and politicians who were
concerned more with real-world application of ideas than with abstract notions. A pragmatic person
is sensible, grounded, and practical.

TIme is switching to Sundays EST to accomodate more players. Anyone interested in this time slot please tell me when you'd be available here so we can get a good tally of where to find a compromise.

I'm fairly open with Sundays though I would prefer a game that ended before 9:30 am PST or began after 3-4 pm PST

Blah, I'd be willing to join with a noob if you go back to prime time on a weekday. Any chance of this crossing over onto BG?

I have no plans to DM on BG, but considering it doesn't look like Lokan is coming about anymore to my knowledge, I'll probably make the leap at this point. I'd hoped to do a personal plotline with Zyrus with him and stephen, but AK will be picking that thread up on MS it seems.

I'll consider it. If you want a better time, talk on the player group forum with the others and see if they can make it. I'm flexible time wise.
