[QUOTE="Wolfwood2, post: 3457032, member: 39394"] After many delays, my D&D group got back together and started Age of Worms last Friday. It's going to be a bi-weekly campaign, so I expect the full adventure will take well over a year to play out. Our DM has promised to mix things up a little and add his own touches on things. We only have four PCs, which makes me a bit nervous as I've heard how tough AoW is. Still, hopefully that means we'll level up a bit faster and so be tougher when facing the challenges of the campaign. It's a somewhat unusual mix of classes: Psion (egotist) Beguiler (with maxed out Search and Disable Device so as to play trap monkey) Cleric of Boccob (with Magic and Divination domains, meaning both 1st level domain spells suck) Paladin (my character; human with Power Attack and Cleave) Still, we seem to have all the bases covered. The first session we explored to the lantern room in the Whispering Cairn and started twisting the tomb about. We fought a raiding party of xvarts, a Wyrmling black dragon (tough!) and about 8 small centipedes. All of this loosened enough cash that I could buy some half-plate for my dex bonus-less paladin, improving on the chain shirt I had to start off in. Lots of interesting NPCs around Diamond Lake, with potential for action from them just as much from the dungeon. Anyway, I'm enjoying things so far. It's nice to be doing a bit of an old-school dungeon crawl for cash and glory, with the big uber-plot not yet in play. A promising start for Age of Worms. [/QUOTE]
