[QUOTE="kenada, post: 8681159, member: 70468"] [URL='https://www.enworld.org/threads/describe-your-last-rpg-session-in-5-words.679952/post-8681158']Barbarian hired a hype man[/URL] Last session was an abbreviated session because we needed to do a rebuild of characters due to changes I had made in my homebrew system. However, we did get to play a little bit. The barbarian really wanted someone to talk about and spread her adventuring exploits in town while she was away adventuring, so she posted a notice and hired a bard as her hype man. There were a few candidates. She went with one who was more experienced but had a quest over one who was less experience but was willing to take a standard offer. The quest is something the PCs had heard about before and are (supposedly) interested in investigating anyway. The retainer is cool with it as long as the PCs check it out before the end of autumn. The party also wanted to hire a bunch of help for their next expedition (blazing a trail and mapping it, so they have a faster route back to their manor), so I have to figure out how that all is going to work now. The rules in OSE/BX are not very helpful when it comes to hirelings and specialists. I have some ideas though. I just need to flesh them out before next session this month. [/QUOTE]
