[QUOTE="ichabod, post: 9221844, member: 1257"] The previous session they had been fighting gnome cultists, almost to a TPK, but they retreated into a room and barricaded the door. They rested there, not realizing that the gnomes were down to a mage and a quaggoth and the reserve that was watching out for hobgoblins. The gnomes decided to flee, and after their rest the PCs explored the hastily abandoned gnome encampment (freeing some captives of their goblinoid allies). Then they talked to their head hobgoblin, and decided to do some quick scouting of the fourth level. There they met a friendly ettin. Now, we're about to lose a player, and I've had trouble finding one. But during session two of the players are like, "What about Roy? Wasn't he looking for a D&D game." So Roy joins the discord and I'm multitasking with him about house rules and the setting. He's concerned because there's a lot of house rules, and this may be a more hardcore game than he's ready for. Then one of the players says "Don't worry about it. They're mostly intuitive and to the player's benefit." And then the new guy starts talking about my home brew races, and I'm like, "Cool, no one ever wants to play my home brew races." And two of the other players started talking about how much they liked the gori, one of my other home brew races. I spend so much time focusing on where I need to improve with my DMing that it was really nice to hear that my players appreciate the stuff I am already doing. [/QUOTE]
