We rolled up characters yesterday, and I introduced them to the town of Sandpoint. We're going to try to see this thing through using Swords and Wizardry though. It should be interesting to find out how well the modules line up in terms of level to something as far removed as the 0e rules.<br /><br />I'm psyched to read your experiences though. I'll start writing up how our game is progressing and if you're interested you can read it for kicks. Compare how things transpired perhaps.Gamer Dudehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05006232842482959060noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-43996572287917127782010-01-11T12:22:18.985-07:002010-01-11T12:22:18.985-07:00Later I gave them reason to reconsider their kill ...Later I gave them reason to reconsider their kill first ask questions later approach.<br /><br />It will show up in a later session summary but later the local sheriff goes to the nearby city of Magnimar to petition for aid against the goblin threat. When he returns he is accompanied by a few guardsmen and Justice Ironbriar. The Justice is quick to point out that their vigilante justice against Tsuto and a few other NPCs will not be tolerated.<br /><br />I didn't mind the dairy so much as the references to demons and Lamashtu really put the fear in the PCs.P_Armstronghttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12374589162025099763noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-4134750084087927747.post-29336276127991462402010-01-11T11:33:49.210-07:002010-01-11T11:33:49.210-07:00That's a turn off in this adventure.

Two thumbs down...Lisandro Gaertnerhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13109086462318526579noreply@blogger.com
