[QUOTE="Goonalan, post: 8379411, member: 16069"] You noticed that, lolz. I put together the Arty Swell Murder Mystery pretty early on when I was building scenarios for this campaign. I figure if I don't get it played now then I never will, and there's some good (plot et al) for the PCs to find in there. Saying that I can't wait for next week's session, we're only one turn into the Wild Goat Race and already several PCs (by which I mean players) are trying their very hardest to win the thing. We've even had the first- "he moved more squares than me" complaint, and as I say... turn one. I think it'll get a bit more fretful before the end. [B]Apologies, the Wild Goat Race is in the next bit to be posted.[/B] Also, there's a lot to be said for Fantasy Grounds Unity, I resisted the change from FG to FGU, and now I'm regretting that, but loving FGU all the more. At times there's another layer to the action, because PC #1 can only see what they can see on FGU, which quite often- if you're Ram out front and on your own is... some enemies, and none of your colleagues. The line of sight has changed things. It leads to conversations (mostly OOC) like this- Jim playing Vinnie: What are we going to do about the giant Thunder Boar? Kev playing Ram: Giant what? Bear playing Newt: Thunder what? Jim playing Vinnie: Surely you can see it Bear? Bear playing Newt: Nope, there's a tree and a bunch of vegetation in the way, I can't see a thing? Jim playing Vinnie: Vinnie screams to his colleagues to get over and help him- "Garthok. It iz Garthok- he iz enor-mouse! Elp moi!" At which point the DM informs the druid that alas the raging storm somewhat drowns out Vinnie's shouts and screams, then bends a little and allows Newt (the closest PC) to make a Perception check to see if he heard anything- '9'. Nope. So, the question is- Vinnie, what are you going to do about Garthok the Thunder Boar. Then, after the above plays out we go to- Kev playing Ram: What are we going to do about the huge Shambling Mound that has me in its grasp and has already engulfed Daktari? Bear playing Newt: Shambling what? Jim playing Vinnie (& Daktari): "I can't even see Daktari- where's he gone? Oh, how we laughed. Stay safe, and thanks for taking the time- appreciated. Cheers goonalan [/QUOTE]
