Bogs on DMing.

I see a lot of familiar faces now that I've jumped the fence, but for the benefit of those that don’t know me I'll give a brief summary of my DMing style;

First and foremost the only limit to what your PC wants to try and do/accomplish/perform is your imagination and relationship with the dice, the harder/cooler/more professional the thing you are trying to do the higher the rolls to get it done - naturally :)

I believe in creating stories/quests with the players rather than "railroading" them down how I think it should play out. So this means that if your group gets stuck on a tangent/dead-end, i will follow where you are leading and react accordingly. It’s all about character development, and, how you get there is just as important as where there is.

I've been accussed of testing the ethics/morals/alignment of characters in the past so I guess I should mention that. Every situation will not work out 100% how you want it too unless you put in the creativity/effort to get that result.

In a nutshell:

Risk = reward

Actions = consequences

I always enjoyed a good Boggling in Exodus; alas, all too infrequently as it turned out. Anyone who gets out of bed at silly-o'clock to DM has to be a particularly desirable flavour of deranged for these 'ere parts.
:twisted:

I echo the previous positive sentiments. MaxBogs is a uniquely gifted DM, a master at turning plots in unexpected directions, squeezing players until they cry -- and then thank him afterward! :twisted:

Buckle up and enjoy the ride! It's sure to be epic. :)

Will be off a few more days for work and then anniversary, should be vexing players again by 12/7 - morning sessions for the win! (thats 11/7, afternoon/evening for you most likley)

As a side note; you guys are really quiet. Dont be shy to bug/request/demand via IG PM's, forums or IRC.

I've found most here are conditioned that 'bugging the DM' is a bad idea. It'll take a while to do that for most.
