[QUOTE="FitzTheRuke, post: 7470487, member: 59816"] So... we are getting closer to start time for this adventure. In Ancalagon's thread about the do's and don'ts of PBP we've generally come to the conclusion that it's best to break things up into Bite Sized Chunks (rather than, say, try to run a huge AP only to fail). Our math has concluded that (give or take) PBP manages to pull off the equivalent of about an hour of F2F play in a MONTH of PBP. It is my estimation that running one of WotC's full Hardcover Adventures would take six to ten YEARS here in PBP, if you don't rush things and/or skip stuff. So... with that in mind, and seeing as I am planning to mix things from multiple sources (primarily Rise of Tiamat) for this game, let us start a little smaller. This will be Chapter Two (Chapter One being Vault of the Dracolich) of this game, of an unknown number of chapters. All we expect to accomplish here is something that I will call "The Lair of Ice" which roughly corresponds to Chapter Two in Rise of Tiamat. If we achieve that, and we all want to keep going, we will do another, and so on. Show of hands... who's still with me? (In particular, I'd like to know if [MENTION=6877470]Prickly Pear[/MENTION] is still around - I don't think I've seen you since we finished Vault). [/QUOTE]
