Adios.

Alice:
Never think a character is useless just because an adventure or two were not what he was made for.

For what you say, last adventure was not Sebastian field, but who knows what will we need when we reach the town, or the next adventure? It would be a shame to needthen a character like Sebastian and missing him...

The last adventure was combat, this adventure is wilderness survival. Somehow I doubt even Sebastian can talk a fallen tree into moving off the road, or a forest now apparently devoid of life to supplying a three course meal for the entire column.
Any future adventures? The GM has hinted it will be more of the same.

Alice:
And don't forget improvements (given at the end of every adventure, if I understood it well) may help you to fine tune Sebastian.

Turning an elderly Face character into a murder-hobo fresh from the cookie cutter isn't fine tuning, its complete reconstruction.

Adios.

The GM:
On top of what Alice just said, if you don't feel good with your current character, you can always go for a new one. There is nothing wrong with that. And then maybe in the future you will pick up Sebastian again. This campaign allows it quite easily.

Just zap him out of it.

dice roller

@ GM: Could you please set the dice roller to "record each die" as default too?

To now it has had no problem, but when there are Dms one can easily fail to notice a critical failure if not (e.g. if Alice rolls d4+2,d6+2 and the dice roller says she rolled 3,3, it would be a critical failure, as real rolls would have been 1,1, but it's easy not to realize it).

I can see that the group is getting to the last hurdle of this adventure and soon I'll start recruiting for the third adventure of this campaign...

The second adventure of the campaign is at the last hurdle. It is time for me to reopen the campaign to requests to join from new players.

The new characters will have two extra Advances (as explained here link to a message in this game) and will be able to spend their initial money on goods at standard prices before starting the adventure.
The new characters will be from the town of Pryorbridge, part of the Kingdom of Blackmoor.
About four or five days ago there has been a terrible cataclysm that changed everything you know: a strong earthquake has destroyed most of the town, leaving the majority of your neighbours dead, and many more badly injured. On top of this, to make things more confusing, in the sky there are strange swirling colours day and night.
You are very confused by the terrible situation, grieving the loss of your closest relatives and you would like to help, but you don't know what you can do.

My mother has died tonight. She was 84 and has died in peace, but expect (at best) reduced activity for some days.

Mythanar Uritumal:
"Come back here, you cowards!" Mythanar complains at the fleeing ogre. "Don't you realise what an honour it would be for you to die by the hands of an elven swordmaster?!"


Non fuyades, cobardes (“don’t flee, cowards”, in old Spanish) Don Quijote shouted to the “giants” while charging them…

Mi señor, que son molinos (“my lord, they are mills”) Sancho Panza warned him

(sorry, I could not refrain myself. That’s what came to my mind when reading your post)

The second adventure of the campaign is at the last hurdle. It is time for current character to confirm if they want to continue the campaign or if they prefer taking some time off. It is also time to open the campaign to new players.

The new characters will have two extra Advances (as explained here link to a message in this game) and will be able to spend their initial money on goods at standard prices before starting the adventure.
The new characters will be from the town of Pryorbridge, part of the Kingdom of Blackmoor.

In reply to Mythanar Uritumal (msg # 139):

quote:
Bennies: characters start each adventure of the campaign with three Bennies and when a character draws a Joker during combat, all player characters receive a Benny (as per standard SWADE ruleset, page 88). The Bennies that have not been used at the end of an adventure, are lost: use them or lose them!

quote:
It is intended that characters receive one Advance at the end of each of the twenty adventures of the campaign. Characters joining later on, will have the same level of Advances as well, but for the first adventure after joining (or re-joining) they will have also a Minor Hindrance, to provide a small incentive for continued playing.

As you will meet the Great Priest on the following morning, that will happen on the following morning, but you can already remove that Minor Hindrance.

OK, I will close the IC thread for the second adventure and I will leave the OOC thread open some more days. At the same time, I will open the OOC thread for the third adventure.

Oooh, goodie. I think I'll bump up Smarts, so I can raise Survival and Tracking next time. Clearly I'm going to need to become the nature-savvy elf of the party, and that means I'm going to have to become a little bit less of a meathead. ;)

I'll not be continuing on, as I have not enjoyed the GMing style of this game nor the setting/adventures either. It's not what I expected. Just presume Penelope and Minky break away from the party to go their own way after arriving.
