LoW – The Start

What shall I say really?

I am a little bit dissatisfied over the start but it’s only that it seems that I cannot implement all the information I want in the way I want it. Well, I’m working on how to change it but we’ll see.

Now for the usual nagging and critic.

I’m a little bit dissatisfied over some of your performance as well. Generally when I try to have you describe things. You don’t really take action and it somehow feels that I must push you too much. It’s to much of “and that” or “like that” or “generally do that”. I mean, even though PB tried – which unfortunately was a failure in my book – small things can be described. What PB failed with last session was doing too much of description in order to overcompensate. And in a very, very dull voice which would have made Foppa proud.

Like the training field, think of it as a battle and ignore me until I push my way in after I ask what you do. Take turns, describe what you do in small actions, not necessarily with in-game speech.

Danne: Ragnar jumps lightly from foot to foot on the spot as he does shadow boxing in the dull light of the torches.

Junior: Eitrid, who stands next to his twin brother bends closer to Snorred and points discreetly at Ragnar and says something then giggles.

Ankan: Snorred smiles faintly and nods but doesn’t giggle.

You can do it like that, with only brief inputs describing small things. And when I do things like describe things like stances and skill techs for swing weapons, to make it less dull, and not just say; Uhu, I try my best but in a slow way. What I’m trying to do is to teach you in-game what is to come out of game it is dull and it is hard for me to drag the whole group in things like that. You can do quite a lot of inputs in my pauses or when I ask what you do like;

“X, nods to himself agreeing with X2 but fails to remember when a righthand uses a lefthand stance to strike or not.”

Or just;

“X, shakes his head to himself – he knows this already and lets his mind wonder not paying any attention to what X2 is saying or showing for the moment.”

You understand? If I’m going to pull the session forward all the time I will go even deeper into detail-controlling the sessions and also making them shorter without as much space for own things in the beginning.

Well, the profiles are soon all up on the blog, so that should also correct some things and start you on your challenges. And if more information about your family is needed, I can provide it in those posts too if you want it faster than now in bits here and there.

Anyway I’m aiming for Saturday to have the next session, evening session. No request needed. I’ll put up a notice on the Events Calendar or a notice on the sessions page if I cancel it. There is hell of a lot to do now for some reason and I must find time and energy to do it.

Best regards,

BTW, have you completely given up Danne? And Foppa, you know that all this about the past protected posts (not the profiles) is about you too. If you two have given up or doesn’t care, then I want to know now and this is settled so I don’t need to wait for things that will never come.
