1) Half the time I go to the site, the link to the list of games is down.

2) When I can see the list, there's nothing on there that's interesting to me.

So I'm not going.

I have the last week of this month off, so I'll nothing better to do on a Friday. So I figure what the hell?


Do you absolutely have to register? I'd rather just go and find something cool and sit in.

I'd hate to commit to something and be bored.

Dunno. I've never been to one. But I did e-mail the organizers a few months ago and they were quite helpful.

We must be the only two people from Omaha/Council Bluffs that post here.

Probably. I tried posting about NukeCon before, or a possible Omaha Gameday, and received, I think, 1 response. :\

EDIT: Oh, I did get their flyer and it said Aaron Williams will be there, so they got that goin' for them.

I must have been out somewhere that day, otherwise I would've replied. Gotta represent!

Well, since it's just us, let me tell you about our session last Saturday. We're running Black Ice Well, as you suggested, which has the PCs running around not knowing what's going on.

Spoiler block for those who haven't played it.

[sblock]They finally made it to the Slaadi level (level one of the dungeon basically). They walked in and saw the Talon Fiends fighting the Blue Slaads. The cleric threw up a Blade Barrier and the wizard threw up a yellow veil, so they didn't need to worry about them.

However, what ended up happening was that the rogue and invisible paladin went south and opened doors. In the end, they ended up fighting 2 Abyssal Behirs, 4 Gray Slaads, 6 Blue Slaads, 2 half-fiend Hill Giants, and 1 Death Slaad, who ended up using the retributive strike ability of his staff of power.

It was tough as hell to run but a lot of fun. I had the party scared to death, especially when the Gray Slaads each used their Power Word Stun abilities to disable the spellcasters. Their at will ability to fire Lighting Bolts came in handy too.

In the end, the cleric was at -6 and the big beefy fighter died. The wizard got to go up a level, so he took Limited Wish as his 7th level spell to be able to reincarnate the fighter since they a) can't figure out how to get out of the woods (teleport and plane shift have already failed) and b) the cleric can cast Raise Dead but they don't have the components.

The player suggested reincarnation. So he rolled. He was a big, beefy warforged with the Adamantine Body feat with a huge, adamantine tower shield and a broad bladed shortsword. Now, he's a female halfling.

Everyone is having a great time playing it.[/sblock]

That was great.

It's not as if that big beefy fighter was doing him any good. He just might have better luck this time around!

True. But she has no armor and no weapons.

But she does have levels in Wizard and Spellsword and she knows Alter Self. She figures she can just alter herself to a medium creature and use whatever is picked up.
