Enchanted Realms GM call: April 2017

[MoffRimmer]

What ever is being planned for bonekeep can we go ahead and add everyone to that scenario. So that we know what is what? I know a month or two ago we weren't sure what was founding on.

I had posted suggestions on both the Wishlist and Bonekeep threads.  OJ and I went back and forth on the Bonekeep thread, but I think that Randy didn't see that one and used what was showing on the Wishlist as a guideline.

I had originally suggested doing the House on Hook Street because I couldn't figure out the module OJ was referencing.  We figured out it was Plunder and Peril.  I think that Randy posted House on Hook Street because of my suggestion.  If we switch out House on Hook Street for Plunder and Peril, that would make three Bonekeep group modules/scenarios in one month.  And Plunder and Peril is definitely one that Hillary will want to play in.

Please take a look at what I and OJ were commenting on in the Bonekeep thread and let's discuss a little further tonight.  It looks like we may want to try to move things around a little bit on this schedule as it is.

For quick reference, this was my last suggestion --

Dragons Demand Part 2 (Slow track) -- This should put most of us just over 5th level.
4-03 The Golemworks Incident (Slow track) -- Slow just to allow Hillary to catch up.
The Destiny in the Sands Part 3 (Slow track) -- Doing this as slow should mean that Hillary is now at the same point as the rest of us.
Plunder and Peril Part 3 (Slow track) -- Slow only because it grants 3 XP and there's still more that we could do.  If we don't want to do a module, I would suggest doing 4-06 The Green Market and 6-11 The Slave Master's Mirror (one of which "slow") as an alternative.  At this point, we should all be exactly at 6th level.
Dragon's Demand part 3 (slow track) -- again "slow" so that we can get a couple more in...
4-17 Tower of the Ironwood Watch (slow track) -- just to get the XP at an even point.
3-08 Among the Gods (normal track) -- and this should get us to 7th level.

I guess I saw so many posts for the Bonekeep group I mixed them all up.  If there are no objections, I will update the April schedule on Thursday using this latest list.

I was looking again...  We may need to run Destiny of the Sands before Golemworks.  Kind of depends on what level Hillary will be since it's a 5-9 Tier.

If we do run the Plunder and peril module, I will Yun it...  (should be Core)

I would like to sign up to play the following:
6-15 Overflow Archives, tier 1-5

I would like to sign up to run the following:
4-22 Glories of the Past Part 1: Halls of Dwarven Lore: Tier 5-9.
4-24 Glories of the Past Part 2: The Price of Friendship: Tier 5-9.
4-25 Glories of the Past Part 3: The Secrets of Stones Keep: Tier 5-9.

Thanks,

After talking with Michael (et al) I think that the general feeling was to try to limit Bonekeep modules/scenarios to two a month.  So I think that Randy will probably (at least) replace the module scheduled at the end of the month with something else.

The other item to consider -- do we want to do Destiny in the Sands P3 and "play up" or are we ok to "play down"?  Because Hillary is behind a little bit, if she's not 5th level, I think that we'd have to play down.  So the question then becomes do we want to postpone Destiny until next month?  Or go ahead and do it and play down?  (Or can we decide to play up regardless?  Not sure if we would want to do that being a Mythic adventure...)

If we replace it, we should probably then run Among the Gods this month.

Thoughts?  Opinions?

[MoffRimmer]

Randy - If we take off House on Hook Street/Plunder and Peril for this month, a thought might be to either put in Thornkeep level 1 (I know that you've been itching to run that) or I could run something like Crypt of the Everflame (another "evergreen").

Just a thought...

[MoffRimmer]

Check, check, check... Is this thing on? 

So the question then becomes do we want to postpone Destiny until next month?  Or go ahead and do it and play down?

[MoffRimmer]

Randy, it looks like you moved things around a little bit.  Since you have the second Core game at the end of the month, you might want to consider switching House of Harmonious Wisdom with The Stolen Heir - so that Hillary can still play in the Core game.

Please sign me up to GM The Dragon's Demand.

Thank you.

The problem with that is if we don't finish in one night with the module she won't be able to finish it, since she is GM ING the following week.  Can we start Dragons Demand an hour earlier, since I know the guy in the store likes to get our by 10:45 or so. That would give us 5+ hours to get it done.

[MoffRimmer]

Can we start Dragons Demand an hour earlier...?

I can probably manage that.

[WhiteMane]

I will sign up to run House of Harmonious Wisdom on the 26th

[MoffRimmer]

You can sign me up to run To Judge a Soul Pt 1:  The Lost Legacy on the 19th.  (I won't be able to do part 2, though.)

Here are a few thoughts... 

Richard said that he was interested in playing part 1 (of To Judge a Soul) but wouldn't be able to play part 2 and so didn't want to do half the story.  There might be a few others in a similar position.  If you put off part 2 to the first week in May, I can GM it at that time and it might allow a few others the ability to play that storyline in total.

Also, request for the Bonekeep group.  I believe that it was decided that after Richard's adventure in a couple weeks that we would want to do Plunder and Peril part 3.  Maybe see if we can schedule that one for weeks 2&3?  (We should probably schedule it for two weeks and if we blast through that one in once session, we'll play the next week by ear.)  Put probably no other ones for May -- That will hopefully give some of us a little more opportunity to GM and/or play something else.
