My campaign "A Manifestation of Chaos":https://metzger.obsidianportal.com/ turned 3 years old today and we are anticipating the end of the campaign near session 100 (next session is 87). It has been quite a ride. My page is still suffering from injuries caused by the rampage of the dreaded Reforge Beast, (an electronic distant cousin of the Tarrasque, I hear... may it now sleep for a century).

However near the end we are, after seeing a number of impassive campaign trailers, I decided to do one. I did not let my complete lack of skill or xp with this stop me and I think I did well for my first crack at it.

So, I'll officially report to you, my non-computer skilled brothers and sisters, it is possible given you have 10 hours of free time and a two liter of mountain dew.

Check it out if you want and heck why your at it, become a fan. I am close to 100 and would like to hit that mark before the end (plus -it's the only way I can make a run on killervp - lol - don't worry killervp you'll be at 300 soon).

    I have been a fan for some time so cannot be one of the lucky 2 but I will say THANKS for the new video.
    LOL! I love it that even the music turns heroic when the heroes are presented!
    Viva Man Chaos!

    Thanks Killervp and Twiggs.

    LOL Twiggs, I've known how I wanted that piece of music to be sectioned out in my mind for quite a while just needed to get off my butt and do it.

    @ Basileus - thanks for becoming #99, my guys and I appreciate it


    I had to do another video, it is a shame this one had to come to pass

    No prob!

    Been reading through the logs - loving the high mortality rate! :) Has that been luck of the dice, DM intent, or did your players just want to change characters a lot?

    Wow!! Leonidas way to go on those videos :) the second one uses a beautiful piece of music. Who composed it?
    I never quite got my game going but if It does I hope it is as fun as yours.

    Gah! That homepage...so. Many. PICTURES!
    I had to scroll through all of them to get to the right sidebar.

    All the same, I'm now your hundredth fan. Congratulations!

    P.S. - Loved the video. I think I recognized more than half of those pictures! And that's a great minis collection!

    Congrats on the Century Club! Well deserved! The jackets used to be handled by Black Vulmea, but he, unfortunately, was a casualty of the Reforge.
    Cannot wait to see you on the front page of most popular campaigns- oh, yes, that doesn't exist any longer....
    Well overdue though, congrats!

    Thanks Everyone,


    @ Basileus - Lol - thanks, I do have kind of a Game of Thrones feel to the game but in truth I have yet to kill any PC on purpose, I am old school and let the dice fall how they fall, (in fact I roll all my rolls in front of my players) between that and sometimes some poor decisions on the part of the players gets them croaked . I also have character turnover (albeit much lower to those wanting to switch out characters or members having to leave or temporarily leave the group).


    @ Kat - sorry to hear about your game if I hear of any Vampire players in the area I'll steer them your way. The Music for the trailer was " The Anvil of Crom" by Basil Poledouris and the second was composed by James Horner the instrumental version of "A Long Way Home" for Rambo: First Blood.


    @ Keryth987 - that is high praise considering yours was one of the trailers that inspired me to do one. Thanks


    @ Maesenko - THANK YOU for being # 100 - because of the reforge I moved some of the pics to the front page because for awile that was the only place they loaded, but I have trimmed this down to a dozen or so now. Thanks - I as well as my group have an insane amount of mini's and try to use them whenever possible. (I'm actually working on a pretty baller Dwarven Forge set up for this Sunday).


    @ Killervp - thanks, it is sad to hear that the Reforge got Black Vulmea, who was a pioneer here on the portal and the third COTM winner senselessly driven away and it would have been nice to see this on the front page but I am honored no less that 100 folks like what my guys and I are doing enough to fan us.
