I'm going to use this post as a dump for some of the ideas I've got floating around in my head in an attempt to organize them and expand on them in a meaningful fashion. So my players will be hitting level 20 soon, which means the end of paragon tier is only 1 level away. So far the players have a small idea of what's going to be coming up for that climactic battle, but I'm planning on blowing them away with the crazy battles and conquests that will occur, hence why I must be organized.

Back!
Alright folks, Penguin Tamer is back, after a month-long hiatus. First I'd like to extend my heartfelt apologies to all my readers for disappearing like that. I was dealing with personal life issues, graduating college, starting a new job, and moving, all in the span of about a month, and coordinating all of those between three people, plus family, was a bitch.
But here I'm back now. Sad to say my gaming hasn't been going all that well, since my computer recently died and the harddrive was un-repair-able. I DM my games online, and so all my character, monster, and campaign data was lost, and I never had time to recreate it. To alleviate some of this problem, I asked my players to make their characters' tokens again, so I didn't have to spend 6 hours making them all. This turned out bad. Three players got me token 2 weeks after I wanted, and the other three still haven't done anything over the month of not playing, even when I asked them to do so (one of them I haven't heard from at all).
I don't mean to rant, but this is just kind of frustrating. I've spent who knows how many hours setting up all their stuff for them (twice), along with the campaign, and a wiki page. I just asked them for a simple token so we could start playing again, and I get half-hearted responses from half the people. That put me off to playing anymore: all they've had to do for almost 3 years is just show up and have fun, and as soon as I ask them to put a little effort into making a game possible, several of them disappear! Why should I muster up the energy required to run a game when they can't put in a little effort to help me out? I don't know, it's just frustrating.
But enough of that. I just want people to know that I'm back and will resume my posting again, most likely on a 3 or 4 times a week basis, more if time permits. Take care everyone, and happy gaming!
