Oooh, check my fancy new (pre-generated) layout! Thanks, WordPress!
You know, I think most people underappreciate the amount of work it takes to bring 5 or 6 people together every week for 5 or 6 hours to play a game of D&D. Especially when those people all have different work/school/social schedules. Or rather, I think most people never think about that at all.
Our last game, the undead one, petered out with only three games to finish, thanks to incredibly hectic and stressful schedule of our bard. Still, 9 months of regular, weekly play for five college students? Still an accomplishment I feel.
So we’re moving on to the next one, with three of the old crew and two new ones. That makes that same three the original three I started with almost a year ago now, and none of them even knew each other back then. Now, instead of playing characters that are strangers, they are playing old friends, and the vibe is working all too well.
It’s a planar campaign, 4ed. Outer planes with a pirate ship: Five PCs and four NPCs on the ship alone! I’ll give a run down on the characters later, but for now, as well as put up photos of the tenth crew member, the ship herself: Miranda, stolen not from Serenity but from The Tempest; We also have a Caliban for captain, and a few other characters will be popping up as well (namely, so far, Trinculo and Sebastian. Ariel just makes everyone think of the little mermaid).
So we’re building her. Namely Adam, who plays the captain, but a few of us are helping when we can. 37 inches long, fully detailed…Well, the pictures will be up soon enough.
Also a brand new HUGE pack of minis courtesy Trollandtoad.com (and my student loans).
It’ll be brave new world.
