Phew! We're back at it after being derailed (heh) by a couple of players taking a trip to Spain. From Cherage, the next major stop was Orithea. On the way, a few of the players and some NPCs shot some malice beasts. I had fun holding my Monster Manuals up to the camera to show them pictures of...

Agreed, I think the bottom one is closer to the style of the other covers.

We've had a few sessions since I last posted. Since my players split the party yet again -- three in first class, two in second class -- running the train scenes and the stop scenes has required a ton of jumping about and some delicate chronology management to keep everything straight. I seem to...

Those are some seriously compound questions! I think the third question was three in one. Your responses are awesome, though. I've been slacking a bit lately on doing cool stuff for my PCs, I need to step up my game.

That does look good. My players are going to eat this up.

I set the whole dungeon up in MapTool, including the puzzle, and my players went the other way without even looking in the puzzle room door. They checked it on their way back, but by that point the flood was approaching and they weren't about to tackle another fight.

The Wolfgang check was failed by one point. Ob spy it is! Session Summary: Week 6: Bela and Viveen - Quiz other party members on cover identities. Two successes. Vesta and Murdok - Go to libraries to do research on the countries they will be visiting. Cover Identities. One success, one...

Ohhh, sblock. Whoops. Yeah, they've come up with some interesting ideas. I still need to figure out what kinds of events (conferences, festivals, etc) are going on along the route, as well as the particulars of Vesta's distant relation. Since it won't break anything for Wolfgang to show up...

We've been doing the planning montage for the last few weeks. We're going a bit faster than one montage week per real week, but not much faster... Still, their plans are coming together. They've come up with some pretty cool ideas so far. I gave Vesta a free success in working on his...

Oh yeah, that's right. I often forget about cover because one of my main 4E characters can auto-stealth (combining Cunning Sneak with Shadow Walk), and the DM sometimes has intelligent enemies use burst or blast powers to get around the fact that I'm usually hidden. I was lumping cover in with...

Totally off-the cuff thoughts: General note: These are complicated, but flavourful. I have a strong preference for clean, since 4E characters have a lot of fiddly bits as it is, but for campaign-specific paragon paths that are very flavourful, I guess I'm OK with it. General note: the word...

I have to spread XP around before giving you more, but I agree completely. The delays haven't affected my game at all, and almost certainly won't, but the people who are in danger of catching up need realistic estimates rather than optimistic ones. There's also the added benefit that you might...

I leaned on the villainous conspiracy threads where RangerWickett and various Zeitgeist DMs discussed what the Ob's ultimate goals might be. I had Rutger Smith posit some of the proposed changes as Miller's thought experiments on what might make an ideal society. Villainous Conspiracy Intro...

Isn't this line of reasoning predicated on the assumption that XP should flow solely or largely from encounters? In terms of actual playing time between levels, I've found it pretty consistent throughout, and the levels almost always occur after major plot beats (which are often capstone...

My players' plan for their cover identities in Always on Time is for Rock Rackus to go on an international tour and for them to be his backup performers. Each night when the train stops, Rock would do a concert in that city. They do love their Rock Rackus. :D Their plan for maintaining secrecy...

Overall, I like the changes. A few thoughts and questions: Docker Should the enemy or the allies also be aware of the Docker character, since Audience Participation is implicitly predicated on the Docker’s performance? Gunsmith Do you intend for Gunsmiths to be able to buy magical ammunition...

In 4E, even if you have a fly speed, you still have to land every round unless you also have 'hover.' Maybe in the 4E -> Pathfinder switch, the word 'fly' was just replaced with 'jump?'

Wow, that's crazy. I'm very curious to see how you handle the rest of the adventure.

Somewhat anticlimactic wrap-up, but the constables managed to take out Sijhen, stop the ritual, and deal with the remaining extraplanar creatures with no casualties. I didn't get to unleash the Thing from Beyond. Reginald's consciousness fragment lost track of Saxby when she and Carlao's squad...

Love the appearances from the Evil Conspiracy discussion thread. And what you did with Constance is awesome. Note: In the Count section on page 104 of the document, you have "when Nicodemus changing his mind." I assume it should be "changes."
