New Year == New Games

[David]

Howdy folks,

Hey, I'd like to give a heads up for the games I'd like to RUN in the coming year:

FINISH Temple of Elemental Evil -- honesty, this one could take a month or five, all depending on how thorough a job the characters want to do...

FINISH Charn -- I think this game should wrap in January or February for sure

Shadow Knights (the Wand of Orcus) -- this is the 3rd SK game and is largely limited to those PCs who're Shadow Knights or associated with them. I can make a couple of exceptions with the right story and abilities, but for now the Knights are Domar (6th? lvl fighter), Tandris (4th lvl psi), Thera (7th lvl cleric), and possibly Clanndennagh and/or Alec and/or Amora Dragonrose (3rd lvl champion of Wee Jas). This mission is of particular significance to followers of Hades and Wee Jas... 2 to 4 games

The Lost Catacombs under Rumelia -- higher level and only Greeks and their allies. Plumbing a set of chambers that predate human civilization on Oerth...! 3 to 5 games

Mordrammo's Lair -- finish going through the evil high priest's stuff and maybe rescue Moonlight... Higher level and 1 or 2 games only (could be a pick-up game if Elf and Jenn are around).

Tovag Baragu, Vertigo, and the primeordial gods...

Any other requests?
Thoughts?

I would love to see the Charn group (or members thereof) be high enough level at the end of their adventure to take on Vertigo with the high-level party.

We also have the min-adventure in the desert to wrap up. I guess that would be one or two games at the most? That would help bring some low-level characters up to a decent level for other games.

And throwing in a few other mini-games for first-level characters would be cool as well. In fact, I was wondering how possible it might be to have a game that involves little actual fighting for peeps that want to bring up some non-fighting type characters--mages, thieves, psionists, etc. It could involve mostly solving riddles, performing tasks that test other skills, etc. for experience.

Other than that, I'm interested in all the other options you presented too.

I like 'em all. Especially TEE, Mordrammo's Lair, and Catacombs of Rümelia. I don't think I've had any moderatley powerful characters die, so I couldn't do Shadow Knights.

I especially like Van's suggestion. It's really tough to get a mage off the baby levels. They're a bit too squishy.

But yeah, any of those games sound fine to me.

I agree with Van and would also like to see...


1) A few games to lvl up first lvl's. Just to lvl 3 ish so they can join other games.

2) Finish Desert mission.

So, to paraphrase what I'm hearing (as well as chime in):

* more lowish/squishyish level games (which I am DEFINITELY fine with!). This would include finishing "the Desert Game"

* finish TEE and Charn, with maybe Charn joining Black Robe to deal with Vertigo (I like that too and you're definitely nearly tough enough to play with Oerth's "most powerful savage" . How long do you guys want either to run? Both have fairly long/flexible endings...

* Shadow Knights but NOT on Sundays because of the limited audience. NPCs are certainly available...think vampires, ghosts, demons, devils, and the like...

* Caverns of Rumelia (which I personally would LOVE to do as it tells stories and leads into other games -- Elf, you in particular would find it cool, as would Van and Steven, probably).

* Tackling Mordrammo's lair is a lower priority...? It would be short with mostly the same party that killed the EHP.

I am mostly interested in Charn, EEG Temple, The Catacombs sound interesting. But I am not interested in low level games. Just because I have other characters i like to play, Blackrobe, Artec: Damn good shot, Rufus, Ishmopah... Thats my 2 cents
