Re: D & D
Probably tomorrow, since I've got some work to do, and I plan on something a little detailed that will require like half an hour of uninterrupted writing time. Plus, I know that I will be interrupted by something.
Also, do you guys want to try doing a JP at some point?

Sorri: "You're right, it doesn't change too much...and I guess it wasn't as dramatic as you told it. Well, as long as ya know, then I guess I can let this go this time. So, what happens next?"
*sits down with a bag of peanuts and waits to hear the story begin*

Alright, as soon as I read the post : )
On a side note, I think I like the format of that fourth-wall leak up there...perhaps it could be a good way for our characters to make OOC observations on the story? You know, of the type that we can't make in the story thread <_<;

I hope you don't mind my insertion into the Prologue. I started writing intending to follow your lead in dramatizing, and kinda got carried away, methinks...
As for what I meant by "fourth wall leak": You probably know that, usually, when a character speaks directly to the reader/audience or their writer, it's called "Breaking the Fourth Wall". In that OOC-thread post I wrote it as if Sorri was listening to you relating what was written in the first prologue post to her as a story and that the story was intended to relate events that, to her, actually happened but the storyteller had dramatized for the audience's interest. Instead of calling that post a fourth-wall break, I called it a "leak" because, to her, she's still in her world listening to a storyteller, not quite acknowledging that she is fictional...but at the same time talking to you, someone outside her universe.
Now I'm rambling. And it all kinda gets meta-ish and confusing from there if you think too hard about it.
Anyway, I kinda co-opted that idea in my own Prologue post, for which I would like to thank you for providing the inspiration : )

and I think the post was really good, well thought out.

Something else...I was wondering if everyone could describe their own characters in a bit more detail, like I have. I'm effectively blind as to their features...which I guess that, while I did describe her clothes and general build, I didn't really go much further.
What I didn't mention in my posts is that Sorri has a fit build reasonable to someone who can't really sit still long (slender but not skinny), waist-length brown hair that is currently in a messy (it's been a few days since she's undone it) single french braid with a rolled-up bandanna worn like a hairband keeping her bangs away from her face. Her face is more round than the usual halfling (usually taken for a child) and she doesn't have their elongated skull shape, but can be recognizably a teen's to observant people. Currently, the hood on her cloak has been left down.
