Why don't I have a good feeling about this situation???
Hmmm...maybe Old One's other quote has something to do with it:
Count me in as the...what are you up to now Old One, 5 or 6 readers now?
Looking forward to the total party...err, next update!

Grats for the "double-mille" party!Old One said:Well...maybe there is a reason
I hit post 1,000 in this iteration of the EN Boards today and this post puts the Faded Glory SH over 1,000 posts.
Coincidence? I don't think so!!

You can count me among the faithful legion of readers too. How could I not be? I'm going to go out on a limb and guess that I'm the only person in this thread who has:
1) Had Old One as a player
2) Had Old One as a GM
3) Stolen Old One's whole campaign setting
So yeah, I'm pretty much in for the duration.
And by the way, a quick note for those of you (i.e. pretty much all of you) who didn't see the NC Game Day thread where we talk a bit about Old One's Faded Glory adventure, "A Tight Spot":
There is nothing that could have given me more empathy for his long-suffering players than gaming in a Faded Glory one-shot where he let all his RBDMness hang out. I'm hoping that he'll do a full story hour write up of it at some point. A brief sample to hold you over until then is as follows.
We were staging a desperate defense of a castellan that was part of the defensive line between Emor and Sythia. The place was besieged by hundreds upon hundreds of Sythians and we were down to several dozen legionaires and the PC's and we were litterally on our last legs. We had little to no healing resources left and most of the party was down to 1/3 or less of their hit points. We had just managed to plug the breach that had been created in the gatehouse for (IIRC) the third time when Old One informed us that we heard a "hissing noise". One of the other players foolishly posited that it might be the sound of reinforcements arriving to save us. HA!
No, that was the sound of 2,700 Sythian arrows descending on our little fortress from above.
It was at this point that we finally understood that the adventure wasn't over until the whole party was dead. In other words, the adventure was almost over.
