Module 2

Validation Unlocked

Excellent, my needy desire for validation has been sated and we're all onboard for further adventures in Fissa!

In response to your kind words and affirmations though...

David: You're quite right; 5th level for Fighters is a horribly dead level. Fortu barely gets anything: +10 HPs, +1 to Hit and +2 Skill point. Next level (6th) though is great! I consider that the entry to being a 'Mid-level' character in D&D.

Assif: I really like Arowe. His specific story arc seems to be about personal growth. From his prior cossetted perception of golden heroics to experiencing the much grimmer reality. He's a character with lots of options: Two-weapon swashbuckler? Long distance sniper? Light-footed outrider? 

Scott: I'd love to know what your original reply said but I'm just pleased you're still enjoying the game. As a versatile Ranger Liga Burr is far from useless and probably has the most interesting backstory... What happened to his original Halfling parents and who/what were those supernatural, red-eyed creatures that decimated his adoptive Orc tribe? 

This does seem like a good time to take a small break however. I've got some thoughts but need to pad them out and write them up. I'll start this week and let you know when I post 'Module 2' up. At that point, Scott can start searching for a date that suits everyone in August/September?

Any hints at what you're planning to do would be much appreciated though... Will the Party head back towards Scar Burrow or Koenig's hidden hut? Will they use the new map to search for the sinister looking, blackened tree? Will they try to discover more about the mysterious and probably important Thornberg? Or, as Scott noticed, try to find the Dryad pool that Sir Briefadel was actually really searching for?

Also, It'd also be useful if you three could divide up the magic and send me copies of your 5th level character sheets before the next session.

Also, also, I made an error on the Experience post. Everyone should have a bit more as I forgot the 'Original Posts' and 'Comments' bonuses. I'll add them on in the next few days.

Thanks again Boys and see you soon!

:D

End of the Road?

Hi Boys,

It's been over a year since we started this on-line adventure together and hopefully you've all had a good time.

Three really funtastic/fantastic heroes, hopefully interesting settings, encounters and scary opponents!

As for me, I've probably become a little over-invested. It's been a great distraction from all the worries and stresses in my life but I do pour a fair bit of time to it. Time I really should be investing in other more productive areas of my life.

That said, I do get a fantastic thrill out of it but mostly in making you boys laugh and giving us a fun reason to stay in touch. 

The difference I've noticed in this on-line campaign compared to the in-person' 'Cottage-of-Doom' ones is your freedom to choose different options. With the solid, every-three-months, weekend sessions, I could only prepare so many choices without derailing the story. With the monthly, three-hour sessions, I can follow your characters in whichever direction you choose to go.

More 'Sandbox', less 'Railroad'.

Assif has done a great job with keeping us tech-linked up and doubling up as 'Player' and 'Camera man' (I couldn't have done it). David has been more helpful than he realises with driving the combats. Poor Scott though, has had to set the schedule as he's the busiest of us.

Was a target of four to six weeks between sessions too ambitious?

So what do you say? Are you three are still invested in the story and want to see what happens next? Does everyone still have the time and energy as the lockdown eases?

As a group, do we want to further the story? Should I write the next 'Module'? 

I do have a title worked out...

:)

Fourth and Last Session of the Rat King adventure!

Scott has spoken and the rest of us have responded...

Saturday the 30th Evening 8pm for the yUKers.
Sunday the 31st Morning 7am for the lone Ozzy.

Aiming for three hours so I can be in bed by 11:30pm.

Our roles have been allocated thus:

I write and DM the adventures.
Assif runs the 'Mapcam' and moves the figures.
David controls initiative and drives combat.
and Scott is in charge of scheduling the monthly games.

Every one of those jobs helps me enormously.

Started writing and already come up with an encounter leading to the next Module that made me laugh.

:D
