Okay, I'm no longer cracking a joke.
I manage to squeeze reveals, character development, and all that, into every thread I'm in, for the most part. Sometimes they're tiny, other times they're huge. One thing's for certain, I do have lengthy plots going, and I'm currently setting things up, piece by piece. I'm not my DnD group's DM for nothing.
Once I get a little more setup, and wrap up some of the threads I'm currently in, you can expect a whole lot more variety from me. I intend to make it one heck of a ride. For those of you in my threads, you should have already felt the rumble.
Oh, and about the good guys losing? It has to happen, it has to be hard, and it has to take no prisoners. Otherwise there's nothing to rise from.
