[QUOTE="ccs, post: 6858273, member: 6803664"] Our Fri night 5e game has been running for nearly a year now. We get an average of about 3.5 hours pf play each week. * It started off with a party of 5 (+ a few extra people who'd drop in for a session or three) being sent off to confer with the druids in[B] N2: The Forest Oracle[/B]. * Upon returning from that, the remaining two characters went and explored[B] C3: The Lost Isle of Castanimir. [/B] *Eventually they escaped and found themselves stranded on a jungle island home to a tribe of cannibals and a ruined temple to some forgotten bat god [B](Module #1 "Souls for Smugglers Shiv" from the Serpents Skull PF AP) [/B]Here we were joined by 4! new players. This adventure ended with a near TPK and only 1 of the new characters escaped the island - aboard a pirate ship. (I had had thoughts of running the Skull & Shackles PF AP at this point - but most of the group weren't enthused about a pirate adventure. So I went with a different plan) The others rolled up new lv1 characters & the surviving PC was given the option: Keep your character, but lose a % roll of all your loot as you escape from the pirates. OR roll up a new 1st lv character like everyone else. He kept his character, rolled %dice, and lost most of his loot * The next week we began module [B]B2: The Keep on the Borderlands[/B]. The party was placed randomly on a battle grid of the Caves of Chaos valley floor - and every other square was filed with either a random allied NPC, or monster. Roll inititive. The players had no idea wy they were fighting, or even who. The fight continued until all the PCs were unconscious. Then they woke up amongst the carnage hurs later, looted the battlefield & began exploring/exterminating the caves. *One of the bits of loot salvaged from the mass battle was a letter from [B]Rahasia (module B7). [/B] So when they'd mopped up the evil priests hiding in cave K, off they went to save the most beautifull elf maid in the land. They damned near botched it up, and only a few good rolls on their end saved the day. * And now they've headed west, met up with a paladin (another new player has joined) & become involved in a slightly modified [B]Aerie of the Crow God (Dungeon Crawl Classics #5)[/B] [/QUOTE]
