Sagiro's Story Hour: The FINAL Adventures of Abernathy's Company (FINISHED 7/3/14)

[Everett]

Indeed. My only other question would be: when was the Adversary first trapped in the Far Realms? (and would "when" have real meaning, the Far Realms being outside of conventional concepts of spacetime?)

Or is the Adversary's own story far back that you never detailed it in your world-mythos as the campaign unfolded?

You know, it has taken me until today to realize / remember that Restimar and Octesian are names from

The Chronicles of Narnia

. I knew they sounded familiar.

Hmm. Wiki'd it. Like the parallels. That would certainly have never occurred to me unprompted, unless I re-read the book for some reason in the future.

That would have been... amusing. The party decides to jump into the one-way portal too hastily. Sagiro's brain turns to overdrive to figure out how to salvage the situation so a ~14-year campaign doesn't end with an inevitable TPK .

Really, how do you know it didn't?

Spies.

Because Morningstar's player posted months ago about the final run and her tone was far too peppy and upbeat for an epoch-ending TPK.

Nice try, PC...

I don't know about you, but I would be upbeat and peppy as a player if a long running campaign ended in a TPK. Of course, for that to be true, we would have to be TPKed in a battle with the Big Evil of the campaign and take that bastard with us.

Well, we'll just ask Sagiro how the TPK went down, shall we?

 

[Piratecat]

Anything I say might reveal too much. I'll keep my mouth closed. Let's just say it was a heck of a game session.

 

[Joshua Randall]

The most epic campaign I ever DM'd technically ended in a TPK... but the players still loved it.

Spoiler

The PCs sacrificed themselves to re-create the universe after it had been destroyed by the Big Bad.

"A stage full of dead bodies" was a cliche for Shakespeare, and some of the Greek tragedies end that way too. Yet those plays are immsensely satisfying nonetheless.
