Episode 10 - Into the Inferno I don't think I have ever unnerved my party as thoroughly as this episode did for them. From the moment they entered the fire forest, they couldn't make heads or tails of what was happening. It was really enjoyable for me to watch them struggle along to figure...

I never responded to your second bit here. She named it with me not quite as a thumbing their nose at the Monastery, but they were turned down due to their incorrect forms and inability to learn the proper ones. Winry is effectively the same as the lightning monk from the player's guide but with...

Episode 9 - Snatch and Scourge Sorry that it has been a few weeks. I normally listen to our episodes while mowing and I just haven't had to do as much of that recently. I'll have to figure out another time to listen since that very soon won't be a task and I'm already another episode behind...

Do you have any more specifics on this comment? I've started looking through it a bit in preparation as well, so having more knowledge of what has or has not gone well would be appreciated!

Episode 8 - Ceasefire Before Forest Fire We led things off by continuing the conflict from last time. Since we only play for a couple hours at a time, this happens every now and then where we have to stop in the middle of a fight. It is an annoying part of being grown up and having kids I guess...

This is the part I'm most concerned about for my game. We're getting closer now (up at the outpost) and I'm kind of dreading this due to how complex it feels. I'm glad to hear a report that it is not as scary or intimidating as it feels! I love having your game playing through things a handful...

Episode 7 - Pursuers This episode starts with a planned game time with the players! Winry will a few times in the campaign start up an icebreaker style game for the party to play in order to get to know each other a little bit better. These have been really fun for the players, as well as...

For what it's worth, I decided that if there's going to be a magical artifact that will be around all campaign, I should just make it fit for whoever chooses to take it. In mine, our monk wanted to be responsible, so it became living hand-wraps instead, morphing to fit her. Seemed in line with...

Episode 6 - Magic, Money, and Mages The back alley fight took up a large portion of this episode, as well as a bit of a makeshift interrogation of a member of the Black Horse Head gang. While the majority of the conflict was straightforward, as the ruffians are rather simplistic to run, there...

Episode 5 - Leaving Town While the title was a bit presumptuous, the party set the ground work for leaving town in this episode. A fair amount of this episode is devoted to following up on backstory characters and items. It was actually quite useful for me though as it allowed me to sprinkle in...

1 vote for #3 from me. I like there being a motive for the disappearance, especially if the PC grew up more between the time of caravan attack and going to Rhuarc. It also gives a better reason for the caravan to have been attacked which is nice.

Was this not updated in the Roll20 Player's Guide then? That would be an interesting addition that I'm missing it seems...

Oh, it wasn't in the playlist! I will have it added tonight. In the meantime, here is the direct link if you'd like - Thanks for letting me know! E: It is added to the playlist now!

Episode 4 - Rats, Badgers, and Imps I think this may be our best episode of the first adventure. I mentioned this in the last episode heavily, but I think this episode really shows the growth and progress of my players to the differences in this adventure path from our previous one. They did a...

I think you're looking to get a little too specific. I would argue that it is within your realm to define how to fit these entities into the warlock pacts. If I remember right, doesn't one of @Tolamaker 's PCs use a pact with one of the spirits as well? Perhaps they could give more insight into...

Episode 3 - Mercy and Fireballs Oh boy, this was quite the learning episode for my party. The episode started with the group heading on to Gabal's school chasing Larion. The first thing they come across is the wyvern rider holding the family hostage. They deal with this quite well through a...

I was quite interested in this report from your game because I had made the whole temple event just fluff and not an interaction for the party. Since they had brought Krystin, I had her heading that up for them as I thought they had plenty of other things they were interested in anyway. Really...

Episode 2 - Deception in the Depository The flight to the depository tower was really fun. I wanted to keep it high energy and feel a bit frantic, so I tried not to allow them much time to breathe as events were occurring fast and furious. I think they really landed well, even the wyvern was...

The plus side is that you can plan what you're going to say. Or you might decide to make some of the checks other skills and weave them in some. Give them some benefits for their choices, but you can still tinker a bit to give some challenges that might suit other characters some as well. E: a word

Blatant title theft. Since we are releasing remastered versions of our episodes now on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube, and I was going to listen to them all over again anyway, I thought this might be the time to jump on the train of session comments and summary. These...
