Sins of Our Fathers II - New Art Uploaded - 1/25

[The Forsaken One]

Then you did well, I liked the SH version alot better. Part due to the removel of another dialogue and the mystery the "avatars" appearance brought in the story. Always nice things for a story so you did well making that choise

The Story Hour version is better for the story, but it's always good to hear the 'behind the scenes' material, too....kind of like a commentary track on a DVD, or collection of deleted scenes.

Oh, and Destan, stop giving away our secrets. DMs don't make mistakes, you know that.

In this particular adventure, I made what experienced DMs refer to as a "boo boo." I put one of my players in a helpless position. Let's rewind.

Wow Destan. I didn't know you cared

Nice.

Wow Destan. I didn't know you cared

He doesn't...it's just an attempt to lull you into false complacency. From what little we've heard about your last session, that should be clear...LOL. A half hour? Were you guys playing D&D or Paranoia?

Sadly, the deaths I think you are referring to occured in back to back encounters.

I'll elaborate... a little (no spoilers here).

The first death was a fine example of putting roleplaying over player knowledge and I give Matt (Maladrac) a lot credit for staying true to his character even though he knew he was up against a major bad *ss. A glorious death that was honored with a roleplayed funeral complete with eulogies.

His next character died through mostly bad luck. The next encounter wasn't that difficult he just failed multiple consecutive saving throws. At our current levels (15-17th) that could spell doom for anyone.

Can't really blame either on the DM as much as we'd like to try.

Thanks for reading.

Now... Get to GenCon and buy his book

Now... Get to GenCon and buy his book

Actually, I already have a signed copy. I ordered it from the website. And I wish I were going to GenCon. I haven't been in years and years.

Great update, Destan! The divine intervention makes more sense to me than some trial - the Moonies didn't strike me as that ... well, sportsmannish, if that's a word.

Being a manic buyer of fantasy I happened across this one in the bookstore. Read it, enjoyed it tremendously, reading it again. Give it a try, I think you'll like it. (btw, there's four books so far, got the fourth on my to read pile)

Gardens of the Moon : Book One of the Malazan Book of the Fallen

I absolutely second this - the Malazan Book of the Fallen (the five books, that exist so far) is the greatest piece of fantastic fiction I've ever read. Don't let the cover-art of the american version trick you: Erikson is not your 08/15 fantasy author, but at least on par with George R.R. Martin et al and a master of 'shades of grey' settings.
