Intrigue/Social Campaigns

Post by Thorin »

Hello, ALFA.

If you do not know me, I am the former co-founder of Exodus and Lead DM there from 2005-2009. I also was the HDM of TSM waaay back in NWN1 beta.

I'm returning to the community to bring more social, intrigue focused Role playing and campaigns, and to make combat/adventure style campaigns and quests moreso the culmination of month, 3 month or 6month campaigns, turning adventuring and dungeon crawling to a special event, and not the focus.

Over on Exodus/Amn I did a lot of social DMing and campaigns focused on the inner workings of Amn with global plots. Here I will be doing a lot of urban and town-town intrigue with TSM and the confederation. I also plan on bringing to the front, the merchant class aspect of TSM and how its own intents are not always that of the confederation and organization of the leading power structure.

I plan on DMing after training/reviewing lore, AD-HOC or INTRIGUE during the hours of

4 AM EST ~ 2 PM EST

I'm always available in alfa's chat room, where I have pretty much lived with zicada since 2000. Yes, I am one of the oldest members, and feel we need a return to social rp and other campaigns, and most of all, active DMs.

So, greetings and well met!

Excellent! Let this mushroom to greatness! If you want to see social RP done right, play with thorin (hint: contrary to common misconception, it doesn't mean a thin excuse for sex)

Thorin, look.

I know you liked to pretend to be Amish back in the day, but having DM sessions at 4am my time? C'mon! I get that it's prime barn-raisin' time, but not everyone wakes up then/doesn't have to work after the cows are milked!

Hopefully I can fit in sometime on the weekends with ya.
