Sorry for posting it as a link, but I'm putting the rules stuff side-by-side with the story it affects, and bbcode can't do columns.

Here's Friday's game. It's kinda long because I went into a lot of detail on the fights, but I broke it up into sections to make it a little easier to digest.

I am not a huge fan of high fantasy, but I love the idea of the Pools of Pain/Faith/Time as a way ascendant to godhood to justify Epic Paths. Very clever!
BTW, come crosspost this over at http://www.thecbg.org/news.php the Campaign Builders Guild has a number of like-minded individuals with a focus on campaign, story, plot and CRUNCH development. We've got a solid community of participants, and would love to see more of your ideas!
-Cheers

Thanks! I can't take full credit for it. The first pool was in the first (only?) epic adventure in Dungeon magazine. One of the plot hooks it gave was that tehre are a lot of these pools, and they're only appearing now because of some mysterious reason. I just filled in the reason and started making up pools.
Can do.

I'd love to. Does it usually take a while to get access? Though I guess "a while" is relative. It's been less than 24 hours, which is no time at all in RL, but an eternity online.

Cool! 4E? Maybe we could trade conversion notes. Although as you can see I'm not running the standard storyline.

Our 5th player is ready to jump in, and his Star Pact Warlock has some rather strange items from the Far Realms. Check 'em out.
James, create to see someone taking on an epic challenge!
I'd like to here your thoughts on how the combats are running right now. I think the biggest worry has been with the players ability to regain health so easily at those levels, and the huge amount of hp that monsters have, that combats will simply take forever.
Has has the length felt to you so far?

We played the first two modules in 3.5e -- right now I'm running a 4e 'playtest' with the group and my intent is to convert it to 4e. I'd love to trade conversion notes. }
The game's been on hiatus for about a year and a half (there was another campaign that was going to take my game's slot for a while which died) so I'm starting to play with the third module to try and wrangle something fun for it (the Battlesystem stuff didn't work out well for us in the first module). Non standard storylines are great, they give me things I can yoink from. }
