[QUOTE="ccs, post: 7575980, member: 6803664"] [B]As a player:[/B] 5e - 3 sessions into Dungeon of the Mad Mage. Started it at 4th lv after playing TftYP (Sunless Citadel). PF (1e) - Ruins of Azlant. On hiatus. :( We'd just hit lv 3 in book 1 when the DM suddenly needed a break. He cited work & home stress. But the groups pretty sure we know the real problem. He's not a very good DM on anything but combat encounters & was finding RPing (even marginally) an entire colonies worth of NPCs very daunting. A mix of board games, WWII miniatures, & Warhammer miniatures (both 40k & fantasy/AoS) depending upon the week/day/people. [B]As the DM:[/B] 5e - just finishing ToA this coming week. Probably about 1/2 the session to find the actual exit & wrap up. Then we'll immediately have session zero & roll stats for the all new campaign that starts on the 21st/28th. :) PF 1e - You know that Ruins of Azlant campaign I said was on hiatus? Hey, guess who's the got the role of "Temporary DM"? I got the job because the guy who's actually up next in the rotation [SIZE=1](there's 3 of us that rotate DMing in this group)[/SIZE] is nowhere near prepared to run anything. And he's [I]terrible[/I] at whipping something up on short notice. I on the other hand, am not. So. Last week, with barely 3 months of decompression from running an almost two year lv1-16 PF campaign, I'm given 5.5 hours of notice that I need to DM "for a while".... [/QUOTE]
