[QUOTE="kinem, post: 3393693, member: 24234"] There has been a rush of interesting games on the board recently, so that may be a factor. What's different about this game is I'll try to set it up to avoid PBP-bogdown. That's why it's 'a short scenario' and why players can post their actions in combat in any order. That huge module or adventure path may be cool, but in practice, it will take months of PBP just to get past the first section of it and by then peoples' RL situations may be changing and they could start dropping out. Jemal, either char sounds fine, so let's see those interesting ideas :) The mirror's name is a little pun, yes, but it refers also to the spiritual weapon (scimitar) you can cast with it. My idea originally was that - if I ever run the Tomb of Horrors - an annoying NPC bard can accompany a party and use the mirror to make a 'documentary' of their amazing adventures, while the spiritual weapon supposedly keeps him from being completely useless ;) [/QUOTE]
