Forrester's Against the Elves Campaign

[Altin]

Got lured here by Forrester's sig. and I just have to say this story hour is just indecently fun to read; the games must be a complete riot. Any plans to flesh out the early days when the crew of 'against the elves' was ... you know, actually against the elves?

Yours,
Altin

The cover texts of the books on torture were really great!

It would be nice, but no one has really shown any interest in writing up the party's earlier adventurers. I don't think that anyone has very good notes for that period.

Questions about the history of the AtE game are particularly complicated because none of the players who started the campaign are still with the group. So really Forrester is the only person who knows the whole story. Perhaps you could interest him in giving a more complete overview.

As for the lack of elves in Against the Elves, I suspect that it is only a temporary situation. We know there are drow around, we just haven't met them yet. And those surface elves we left behind when we fled into the Underdark are almost certainly going to send someone after us eventually.

Yeah, the sessions are a riot. Even more fun, though, was the session Morrow ran last night, in his new Campaign With Very Unusual Design Goals. Shinobi Killfist (I am a Ninja!), Thogibar (I am a total idiot!), Gaewaelaelae (I am the well-meaning straight man and de facto party leader!), and Thror Hammerfist Swordaxe Arkenstone Potentaxe Steelbeard Dwarrowdelver (I am a cleric and I sell healing for 1.5 gp per hp!).

It really resembled 8-bit Theater more than anything else.

Next time I'll write down the one-liners, so as to give it a fitting session report.

Ahem. Not allowed to say other sessions are more fun than mine . And correction: Shinobi isn't just a Ninja, He's a Ninja with a Greatsword!!!! Get it right! (I do think we need to session-reportize Morrow's campaign, though . . .)

I'm glad you gentlemen enjoyed it. I've just created a new thread for The Knights of Ill Fortune. Feel free to post a session summary, or just some notes about your brilliant characters.

Best quote of the night . . .

"I don't like any plan that requires me to make multiple saving throws." -- Thar

Oh yeah.

 

[jeffwik]

No, no, the best line was

"You know, when you put it that way, I can see that you're right, Foleful." -- Flenz

Yes!

Yes!

Go Billy Dare, Boy Sorcerer!

We're all gonna die, plan-less and helpless!

So bitter, so bitter. You freed Flenz from mental slavery, and -- well, I don't want to say more or else Morrow's going to get mad at me for spoiling his Story Hour . Suffices to say it was, on the whole, a pretty good session for the Figuring Stuff Out.

I will also say that I was especially impressed the way all of you fought against your baser instincts and actually admitted it when Krikara came up with a really good idea .

The story's getting better. Keep it up!
