Hi all,
Thanks for playing on Monday night.
I hope you all enjoyed the game (I certainly did).
Just a couple points:
Firstly, some you may have noticed that I didn't give out any XP on Monday night (nobody mentioned it but it's true nonetheless).
Don't worry, I haven't forgotten.
Actually this is (at least partially) intentional.
I had always intended that XP would be awarded at the nominal end of each scenario (usually when you report back to the baron).
There are two reasons for this:
1/ In addition to the normal encounter XP I tend to give out bonus XPs for achieving certain objectives and in some cases it may, for plot reasons, not be appropriate to flag these up.
Basically if a flag up that you "did this good thing" it may, in some cases, act as a spoiler.
2/ It is something of a minor gripe with me that levelling up really shouldn't be allowed "on the fly".
I am not intending to impose any complex house rules for this, but I do think that levelling up should involve a little work on the character's part (skill training, spell research, etc).
This sort of thing takes time so the simplest thing is to say it happens in the downtime between scenarios (and just fudge the amount of time it actually takes).
Secondly, a slight calendar change.
Sun 23rd Oct is my niece's wedding and, as a result, I cannot guarantee that my brain will be working on the Monday.
(I have, in fact, taken Mon 24th off work on just this logic)
Therefore I shall not be running on the 24th and, unless anybody has any major objections, the next session will be on 31st Oct.
See you all then
Mike
