This is a post I've not wanted to write, but I should. I'm not canceling Ravenloft (yet), but I do want to talk about its future some.
Work has been busier for me this semester due to my taking over some major responsibilities. Thats good for work, bad for gaming. In addition, running 3.5 is taking up more of my cognitive workload than the 4E side (fewer things to check). That being said, this game is important to me and were are "close" in PbP terms.
From where I sit in the DM's chair, there are two/three major encounters left after this slog. Problem is, they are all big major fests which means several months each (esp at my current posting rate, though I'm trying to fix that). I want to get to the end game so that we can all face the BBEG and I can reveal all those secrets I've been piling behind the DM screen for years.
So, I'd like to get a feel for how everyone wants to proceed. BTW, the big fights left that I see:
- Getting the sunsword
- Performing the ritual
- Finding the BBEG
This is after trimming a lot of fat from the game (the crypt is an encounter fiesta, but that'd take until 6E is out to finish!).
Thoughts?
