Looking over the HeroLab characters ... man. Andrei really needs a better weapon. Tess still has the best one, I think, (+2 feybane greatsword, which means its +4 vs fey & does an extra 2d6 damage), Walays has the +1 rapier, Walker has the +1 quarterstaff, and the new girl has a "mithral gleaming blade" (which I can't find stats for but looks pretty much like a +2 scimitar in terms of effect (+2 to hit, 18-20 threat) but alas, the actual fighter in the group is still stuck with a simple MW weapon. Cue sad trombone. GM ... Andrei needs a magic Aldori dueling sword, stat! (Still wish that thing was 1d10 instead of 1d8 ... we're reaching that level where the melee characters rapidly fall behind casters in terms of damage dealing capability...) (Though to be fair, Babus doesn't even have that ...)

Just a reminder that I am using the 'house rule' that you can pay for your "heirloom" weapon to be "upgraded" so you can stick with using "your" weapon for the entire game.... I should look to see if there is some variant rule where you can "transfer" magic from one weapon to another... for a nominal fee of course...

I must admit that, if wasn't for the fact that some of the higher level critters frankly require magic weapons to actually hit, I would be really, really tempted to have him just stick with the MW sword that was his dad's for as long as possible...

Well, that is now possible! Huzzah! Eventually dad's sword will be a +5 Murderstick

GM needs to invite Xenocore to join the Portals ... and Frito still needs to actually join so Babus can be noted as his PC...

Okay, so I uploaded the main map again and the numbering is a bit more clear (though it's using the older format.) I may look at revising this again.

After the stress that has been today, I demand some mindless violence tonight. Bad guys on one side (complete with black hats and twirling mustaches) with us on the other. I don't want to think about nuttin' ...

BTW, I totally have the beta of Kingmaker on my box. I've put in a few hours on it already.

Luckily for WxMAN, the beta only consists of the first module and ends after you've whacked the Stag Lord. Alas. Triam the Paladin (Hospitaller) isn't even a lord yet!

Unfortunately, given the time it takes to run the game vs video game development, it is unlikely I can finish Kingmaker before the game is fully out

Here's about 19 minutes of gameplay to get a feel (including Jhod's pic.) Yeah, the loading is slow, but this is still beta and I'm cool with that.

LOL. On the bright side, that's one more potential GM to add into the rotation...

If you're serious, take a peek at the Campaign Guidelines and Notes post and we can discuss what you're thinking. Though I think you'd have to be the last in, as 6 is pushing my abilities and I think 7 would be my max.

I will be there for 3? Fridays straight, and then not so much, depends on how the driving back and forth from OKC-Omaha goes. As for characted ideas, I am thinking a dwarf cleric, but I can play just about anything, so if there is any skillsets lacking...

Food for thought: you can always come and hang out until your schedule solidifies, see what type of game/characters we are playing and help the GM run mooks during combat. That will help you get a feel for the type of character you want to play and whether your ideas would mesh well.

Just a reminder there *WILL* be a game Friday April 20. I will try and get the XP and writeup done before then, but no promises. I have my notes although they're not really a recap per se:

Based on the the way we ended tonight, I felt like the GM walked away a little PO'ed. If that's the case and I contributed to that which I felt like I may have with my inexplicable inability to quite grok what was happening, I want to apologize in advance. Didn't mean to honk you off. So ... mea culpa.

So ... mea culpa. I remember this dance so well. PCs throw themselves at the BBEG and won't listen to his perfectly sensible argument; they're forcing me to make good on his threat to kill the hostage. Not a fun moment any of the numerous times it occurred…

For my part, the end of the session was miscommunication from me. I had, in my head, a decent mental image of what Andrei said ... bit I utterly failed to properly relay that. So I certainly did not help...

So ... mea culpa. I appreciate the thought. There were lots of things that went on Friday night - however I want to complete the chapter next session before addressing things in a form of a "wrap up" post which everyone can discuss in a formal manner.

Just FYI Rigil - feel free to play the Kingmaker PC game as far as you want, there is no way I'll be able to finish the campaign before the game is done and it would be wrong to demand you not play a game you backed
