Piratecat's Updated Story Hour! (update 4/03 and 4/06)

[Dareoon Dalandrove]

Did the group walk past Halcyon's sword while they were looting or did they not even see it? Now from the sound of it you’re continuing on, not just till you get back to the surface. Have you thought about an ending point? I know that's probably blasphemy to post here, but everyone is epic now, where do things go from here?

Well, from memory there's the great Destroyer that Soder mentioned had been prophecied, and I don't believe the Defenders ever learned whom the dark fairies were waiting for in that training plane, either...

Seem like there are still a few Epic problems for the Defenders to face.

Or so we readers hope.

 

[Steverooo]

And even after all of that is resolved, there's the whole Children of Nolin campaign...

This is our in-joke, describing how we've adopted many, but not all, of the 3.5 changes.

Blackjack (or anyone from the DoD), what changes from 3.5E weren't adopted?

The campaign lasted about 2 years (1.5years in game time) and we finished around 17th level. It felt a bit unrealistic to become that powerful in such a short period of time.

And Taran, our group found the same thing. We've just started the World's Largest Dungeon and it recommends scaling the experience right back for that very reason (I can't remember the formula right now). This is fine if the designer takes this into account as to what the party's rating will be at particular points when building encounters. This arrangement suited us fine as we really enjoy the lower level stuff. Usually a TPK occurs around 10th level or so due to a tactical error or three.

Apologies for slight hijack of this awesome story hour.

Actually, at this point in the Story Hour, nobody is epic. Even right now (March 4), only one of the PCs are epic. We've got a ways to go!

Have no fear. Piratecat is in charge.

There is only one plot arc so horrifying, so terrifying, so nefarious, that it could possibly challenge heroes of the Defenders' epic stature.

It's so unspeakably, blood-chillingly devious, you could probably even challenge super heroes with it.

Oh, so now you're doing secret spoilers for other threads, eh?

 

[Graywolf-ELM]

They're going to have Children? or get Married?

Ring the bell and give the man a kewpie doll! (For at least half of that answer.)

Yeah, but where would they find the requisite dozens of players?
