This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

[aquerra] So who's reading my story hour?

I mean, people must be at least looking at it because the views go up between visits, but no one has commented.

Just curious of what people thing of the meta-game commentary.  Is it useful?  Is it interesting?  Should I go into more detail about certain aspects of DMing I am overlooking?  Would you have done something in particularly differently?

So let's hear it.

I skim them while i'm approving them. I think the DM commentary is a neet idea so far, and if for no other reason than your own records, I think you should keep doing it.

I'm reading them. Before, it seemed like so much to try to catch up with, so I wouldn't even start them. Coming gradually, I like them. I also think the commentary is good, showing some of your work from a different angle. I've enjoyed them so far.

Was there any particular feedback you were hoping for?

Checking for "Thjalfi is poopy-head" hidden in the text? ;)

No, no particular feeback - just curious who was reading (Great, the English Prof. is reading my awkward prose ;)), and what people thought of the commentary in general.  They are fun to write, but I thought it would generate questions.

Hey, if I can't stand having profs reading my writing I won't exactly cut it in grad school, will I? ;)

Fine so far.

I'm checking it, but I've already read it this far, so I'll skim it at best, waiting for you to hit a point in the story which I haven't read yet.

Just a note that this week's installment (and follow-up commentary) will be delayed a day or two.  I'm going out tonight and tomorrow and have my M&M game on Sunday.

I've already read all of the storyhour itself (but you know that).

I really like the commentary though and read the new one whenever it comes up. As a self taught DM that has so far never played under a more experienced DM it's vital for me to learn from whatever others can give over the internet. Your commentary so far has been quite good in that regard.
