The DM appreciation thread

[Disco]

Dont be so modest Daddy Howland. You pay for the whole show :)

[Aethereal]

A shout out to everyone involved in current affairs in-game, every plot event before, during and after Shadowfall's induction to the Conclave was pure awesome.

The Abduction.
The Ultimatum.
All the visitors who came to the enclave after the announcements!
The flight of Penlear!
The declarations of war!

And all the ongoing events associated with the aftermath, created an incredibly enjoyable, salient and immersive experience. Kudos to all involved, you know who you are!

And if anyone is out there still wondering what it means to be proactive, just look at this example for inspiration. React to in-game events creatively, in a way that can involve a slew of other players; the declaration of war did just that. Of course there are so many little but just as important stories going on in the middle of it as well - e.g. the consort / caliphar schism between Barber's PC and mine.

Corellon shall have his due!

Yesterday was crazy :D

[Ice Ice Baby]

Major props to LiAlH4, who turned an evening of (somewhat shameless) questing into a great, suspenseful adventure with storms, lightning, and Agony shenanigans! Definitely created a bond between the PC's involved and I'm looking forward to playing out what came out of the encounter.

Cheers.

[Moon]

Absolutely seconded. Had our hopes up as we walked deeper into the storm, and it was a great surprise full of suspense! A very dramatic encounter all in all. Well played, and absolutely helped invoke emotion.

[Pass A Fist]

Huge thanks to everyone involved in the negotiations last night. Particularly the DM's for their heavy involvement. It helped grant a memorable death to a character of which I was very fond, the likeness of which I have not had in a long time.

[Prairial Twenty-Two]

I agree, very tense and interesting. Applause to all involved!

[FanaticusIncendi]

Thank you BOM for reminding us how dangerous the withered lands are! Good to be DM'd by your particular brand of "OHHH SHIiIIIII***!!!!" again :D

[Prairial Twenty-Two]

I would like to express my appreciation for Johannes's recent seizure of power.

Whatever accord was eventually reached between him and Howland at the end of hostilities, I am sure that a glorious new Johannine Era of bountiful XP and francophone NPCs is just around the corner; and we, the ancien noblesse d'épée, shall enjoy a time of privilege and prosperity not known since the Capetian dynasty.

Santé! Gloire! Puissance!

[Lenthis]

Jaydemoon, For making one of the most difficult quests I have been part of due to the sheer direness of the situation, and having all our eggs in a single basket, Luckily it was the strongest basket Evar.

Props Jayde, Massive Props

[The Old Hack]

Santé! Gloire! Puissance!

NO! Howland forever! Liberté, égalité, fraternité!

[Prairial Twenty-Two]

Thanks and appreciation to Jayde Moon for the awesome event in the Priory last night.

The same goes out to the players involved, especially that of Sakhmet!

Exciting and tense stuff!

You know it's on when Nethzerim casts his robes off.

[Cadderly]

Last week I experienced one of the scariest feelings i have had for a long time. The feeling of the running around the new old stones alone scampering amongst bodies in darkness.

[Prairial Twenty-Two]

Massive appreciation for LiAlH4, ShadowCharlatan and Jayde Moon for the EPIC craziness last night!

Insanely challenging, no idea of survival, no predictability, plenty of room for RP and even character development, just general awesomeness, and also DRAGON.

I know everyone had a great time, so thank you from all of us!

I also want to thank Johannes for being generally supportive and excellent lately!

[Ghosticus]

Seconding what P22 said! That was awesome! It was pure luck that I happened upon the party, and got to join in on a spectacular quest that offered some of the greatest roleplay and action I've had yet!

Props to all involved!
