[QUOTE="KahlessNestor, post: 6807427, member: 6801311"] I will make a few observations, with the caveat that the admins can answer better and everything is up in the air now with the changes to the program coming up. 1. Encounters (2hr Wednesday night, playing through the hardcover adventures ) was only one aspect. There is also what I play, Expeditions, which are 4hr modules of independent story but similar theme. This distinction is going to get cloudy since everything is just going to be Adventures in the future. But keep that in mind. 2. Sounds like the program was a bit unorganized. They should have pregens, and I believe they're available online, though character creation can be pretty quick and easy. 3. You really are supposed to start new characters at level 1 and not jump right in at 3. This is what the pregens help with, too. 4. Sometimes thems the breaks and your character just isn't fit for the adventure. There are things you can do, though. Not having played that adventure, I'm not sure why you had to sneak into the city over the wall, or why they didn't speak Common. 5. There are supposed to be log sheets where you record what adventures you play. You are allowed replay by a different character. It also records gold, renown, downtime days, and treasure. [/QUOTE]
