More Planning

Next Question, regarding "The As-Yet Unnamed Campaign."  I am offering three options; I will break any ties but won't vote.
1) Pick up where the Juvenis Campaign left off, with the present party (logic be damned) facing an ice toad in front of a gate in the snow.
2) Explain the resolution of that adventure and restore the party back to Stavanger.
3) Explain the resolution of that adventure and begin the campaign somewhere else.

Please vote.  I'm good with any of the three.  Regarding somewhere else, please give a general indication of where you'd like that "else" to be.


With regards to the proposition of DMing, you'll never find an easier opportunity to take the reins and get experience.  With an online campaign, you have many minutes to think about what you're going to say; you have players in this venue who will understand, better than any other players you'll ever have, the uphill climb you're facing, who will be empathic with your situation; and you will have help, not only from me, but most likely from the players.  So when you say, "I'm not ready yet," this is a Big chance for you to be ready, like you've never had and you won't ever have.

Think about it.

  1. Option 1 is my preference, with option 2 as an acceptable backup.

  2. As the New Guy, my preference is (2) or (3), but I wouldn't complain too much for (1).

  3. I concur. 1, 2, 3 in that order.

  4. Okay then. Even if Engelhart votes otherwise, I'll need to break the tie anyway. I'll take (1). We'll start in the snow, at the gate. No wiki yet; should be available sometime on the weekend. Shelby above (not the Shelby who runs Lothar) is rolling up an Elven male fighter, no name yet. I've not heard from Rob, Lothar or Mikael; if they turn up later wanting to play, we'll bring them in.

  5. Yeah! More Fighters! Blood and Snow!

  6. Oh, Shelby isn't surnamed Urbanek? I hadn't yet realized. Welcome aboard, Shelby!

    My voided vote would in any event have been for 1). I like closure in my stories and we did bust our chops to make it happen, all the way back in 2018.

    Shame if Lothar doesn't make it. Rob and Mikael I was still getting used to, but the highly charismatic elven ranger is to me decidedly a big part of this running's mental landscape.

  7. Okay, heard from I.T. He's got things on the go, but over the weekend he will send you an email with your name and password, and he will send me the url for the wiki, once it goes active.

    His name is Jan, so keep an eye open for his email, check your spam bin, just in case. He will also send instructions for how you can change your password once you get it.
