November 2011 Game Day

[Tomas]

I am starting a new thread for this, so that it doesn't get lost.

November 19th is the new possible game day.

This is good for me.

Paging the dwarf...

[dunadaine]

The Dwarf is good for the 19th. and Bonus the 20th the dwarf turns another year older.

[Dmitri]

game on then! the 19th!

OK - looking at:

12/17

12/26

and some Saturday in January to try to get in the next three games and catch up.

Also looking at gaming at my place (Marietta, PA - will get addresses to folks soon for those who need it)

Also... opinions needed.

I was talking about winding down the game tonight and the end drawing nigh.

However, I have an act or section that I am largely cutting out if I do that. The act is already written from the DMs standpoint, so would take little work on my part to run.

Would people prefer to move to the more episodic format of Atlantis or finish the current game as it was originally planne?

Be warned - the final act is out there in terms of content and method, and could take a year or so to complete.

Thoughts on all of the above?

EDIT -

XP for this game = 2200 per person based on monsters and RP encounters and puzzle stuff

I am in no hurry to see this game end, so continuing is fine with me.

December 26th is slightly hard me. We Xmas in DC and stay over night and head home on the 26th, so I would then have to head out to your place. Not undoable, but a bit hard. The second of January would be easier.

I think, having gotten the reply from nearly everyone at this point, that I will indeed use my Act V idea (we are currently in Act IV). I don't know how long it will extend the game, but it will be a while. Bala is OK with it, and with the probable move to our new venue, she should be OK. Ayvlan will likely find it as easy at my place as at Six Feet, if not easier. From Grond's it is also a fairly equal drive.

So.. how does January 2nd work for people in place of December 26th?

Just in case anyone is keeping track, on the note of Acts, it works like this in my mind:

Act I - Working in Alba, shifting to Albion, splitting of party with Lint, journey to and training at Skye, entry to burial mound and gifting of items

Act II - transition back to Alba, demihuman interactions and ogrillon time, discovery of the Domhain Dorca (Heart of Hearts), discovery of the dead Phantarch, and walking the Endless Knot

Act III - return to Albion, exploration of abandoned Skye, death of Brand, meeting with Kyrne, rescue of kids, travel and meeting with Cynan, the Wilderness Campaign, reunion with Meldron Mawr, Tegid, and Scatha, laying plans for Cedric's downfall

Act IV - journey to Caer Rath, meeting with Ravens and Bran Gauss, rescue of Nall, defeat of Cedric and Anti-Nall, journey to the Mound of the Crossing, arrival at Findargad... and more.

Act V - yet to be seen...

Jan 2nd works for me.

So we are doing Dec 17th
Jan 2nd so far ?

[Dmitri]

That's the plan to this point.

So...does that mean that you, Misty, and the kids are NOT coming to my graduation party on the 17th? =P

[Dmitri]

I was informed that the grad party was 2 to 4pm, and only 10 or 15 minutes from my place. I was thinking that given the drop in nature of parties like this, we would likely scoot at about 3:30 or 3:45. I figured that you wouldn't be able to come, but no other day in the month worked for me... mea culpa.

[dunadaine]

Man the DM getting called out.


I have an excuse, I didn;t know that was your graduation party ...I'm in the clear
