[QUOTE="knasser, post: 6943667, member: 65151"] Thanks. I really appreciate that level of detail - very helpful. Can I ask how the "Fight at the Greengage" went? You seem to have 5 PCs and I'm rather wary of throwing 20 enemies at them! I would have thought that number of anything would flatten a 2nd Level party of 5. Were there mitigating circumstances / staggered appearances? Or am I badly underestimating 2nd level characters? Yeah, you really get where I'm coming from. I want to ensure there's enough time to savour each level range of play. I don't mind levelling up almost instantly on the first level and then getting to levels 3 and 4 pretty quickly - that's actually going to make my job much easier as I'll be less worried about killing a PC with one lucky roll. But I don't want it to be Fight Kobold -> Fight Orc -> Fight Lich -> Fight Arch-devil -> Fin. Can you explain a bit more about what you mean by "bood the six month club". Are you saying that WotC are releasing around the idea that they release a hard-backed module book every six months and it takes you through the lifespan of a character? Urgh if so! (I haven't looked at any of the published adventures so that's why I'm ignorant on that if so). [/QUOTE]
