[QUOTE="el-remmen, post: 1819019, member: 11"] Did you start from the beginning, or did you just start with the FMK thread? Well, originally I wanted to run the adventure as a Play-By-Post mini-campaign - but unfortunately, I did not have the time to follow up with it even once I got a group of willing Story Hour readers to playe the roles of Frank, Gwar, Josef, Carlos and Finn. In the end, I basically hand-waved it, but keeping in mind their capabiliites and the development of the situation there, since originally the adventure was supposed to be one for the FMK. It seems to me that the PCs are advancing in level at a rate that is way above the norm int terms of "in-game" time (at this point in the campaign less than a year had passed and they had gained an average of 7 levels). Usually, I think there is a lot more downtime in a campaign between "adventures", but this has not been the case in the "Out of the Frying Pan" campaign -so, as Richard the Red said in [i]yesterday's[/i] session - "You have improved greatly in the short time I have known you, forged by the fires of the situation you have found yourself in." Anyway, to answer the question more directly, NPCs definitely advance as well, just not quite at the same rate as the PCs. [/QUOTE]
