Rystil's Next Game--You Pick!

[Rystil Arden]

Man, being gone for the weekend sure left me a lot of reading to do. I would definitely enjoy a Eyros campaign. Then again, I would enjoy any of them. But being I didn't want to heck all the boxes because that would have been silly, I selected either Eyros option. Pirates would be cool, I like pirates.

Yup, I just tend to post lots like that, I guess Eyros is cool, and I'm really excited about the PDF coming out. I am a little bummed that I didn't get to write the section on Religion in Eyros (since I wrote a lot of the original details on the Religions), so I don't know how it'll turn out, so if it ever comes out and someone buys it and wants some supplementary material on Religion in Eyros, I can e-mail them some of my design notes, dogmas, and creation myths

Hmm! Still recruiting? I'm always good for a good homebrew (or Planescale ) game.

As for character concepts, I have a bunch sort of pre-ready, but I always like to use characters that complement the group. Who's already playing what? That'll help guide my sword... (guide my sword, father...)

I actually haven't even started recruiting yet. I'm still in the poll stages where people are voting for their favourite campaigns. After a few more days of polling, I may start recruiting, depending on my status with my final project and final exams (which are due and on the 20th, respectively). After finals, I have a long long break

I'd suggest either recruting soon, or waiting till after new years, just because of the large number of people who will between the 20th and the 1st.

Just a thought.

I voted Eyros cause it sounds like an interesting setting. Didn't notice that it was multiple choice though, cause I'd have voted for pretty much anything there. The Kiss of Darkness sounds like an interesting campaign too as would planescape or another neospelljamming game.

Cool. I think a lot of people also said they would have picked almost any of them as well, but at least by picking some, I get an idea of people's favourites

Hmm...we've had a few silent votes since last time I checked, but thanks to my handy dandy open poll, I can see who they are. I'll leave this open for a bit longer, but it looks like Kiss of Darkness wins for sure, by such a sweeping majority that it almost has two games worth of voters (and more players besides among people who only picked one option because they didn't know it was multiple choice and others)...Hmm...the last time I ran this adventure, it was with three players (though they recruited NPC allies and took cohorts eventually). I think it will probably work with six, though, because one of the three players was a Frenzied Berserker (who could always end his Frenzies safely thanks to two Paladin of Freedom levels) and one was an Incantatrix, so they each probably held the weight of two characters

The question remains, though, about what to do with all this enthusiastic response for that one particular game. I'm mulling over a few different options including

a) Just take six. Simple, easy, straightforward.

b) Run mirrors of Kiss of Darkness
Pros: More people get to play Kiss of Darkness
Cons: I'm running two of the same game, People can try to peek

c) Run two different adventures in the world
Pros: Two different games and more people get to play
Cons: Second adventure may not be as cool as Kiss of Darkness, though my players always did like my sidequests...

d) Run Kiss of Darkness and the runner-up as an either/or for players where you can only pick one
Pros: More people get to play, more different concepts
Cons: Someone who really wanted to play Kiss of Darkness *and* the runner-up as well can only play in one, whereas if I just choose option (a) and do the runner-up later, they could play both.

e) Other--still thinking of other ideas

I voted post-Arthurian as my luv of Arthurian romance kno no limit.


Actually the homebrew sounds good too, but I've not got any great love for the published settings listed.
