Next Several Weeks

Alan will not be able to attend next week and Bob is scheduled to work. (He will let us know if he gets the day off.) David plans to be back for next week.

Based upon who we know will be there for sure, Bruce, Dave, David, Kelly, Kara and Keith, I think that we should plan for the following:

- Next week (5/28) Plan A - Dave runs one of the tier 5-9 scenarios I provided him (Season 3, The Ghenett Manor Gauntlet #3-03 or The Immortal Conundrum #3-10 or Season 4, The Green Market #4-06 )

- Plan B - Bob plays a level 7 pre-gen if he is able to attend.

- Plan C- Keith runs tier 1-5 The Night March of Kalkamedes

- Week after (6/4) - Keith finishes running Master of the Fallen Fortress and Bruce is prepared to run the quest The Urge to Evolve to cover if there is remaining time for the evening.

- Following 3 weeks (6/11-6/25) - Bruce runs tier 2-4 Thorn Keep - The Forgotten Library. Everyone should have a character that qualifies to play this and once we have finished, everyone should have at least a 3rd level character.

- Tuesday's in July through Gen Con - Keith runs HEX playtest of Temple of the Spider Cult and super-HEX From the Case Files of Manhunters, Inc. I want at least a night for each. Also plan to run both tier 3-7 Way of the Kirin and Rivalry's End. Both need to be completed prior to Gen Con to get the "cool" end of faction boons for Lantern Lodge and Shadow Lodge characters. Way of the Kirin is released next week on Wednesday and Rivalry's End is scheduled for release at the end of June. If you have a Lantern Lodge or Shadow Lodge character within tier, you will likely want to play then in these end of faction stories. It will be a tight fit with the holiday and the pre-Gen Con Tuesday but with 5 to 7 possible sessions we should be able to fit in everything.

Does this plan work?

Next Tuesday

We will finish up the Veteran's Vault at the start next week. After that, I will run Master of the Fallen Fortress. It is a short module which can be played by 1st and 2nd level characters. It will earn you 1 XP and 1 PP. Hopefully we can get both completed during the time available. The only one that will need to play a different character will be Dave.

David will not be there for sure. Is anyone else likely to miss the session?

This Tuesday

Who is planning to attend this week? Trying to decide what we will be playing.

Next Week

We wrapped up the fisrt level of Thornkeep last night. Bruce is ready to run the next level but it is for characters leveled 2nd to 4th. Everyone except Alan has a character that will qualify. He needs two more XP to achieve that. He could play a 4th level pregen but I think he would become more vested if he played his own character.

I have a couple Season 4 scenarios (Tier 1-5), The Veteran's Vault and The Night March of Kalkamedes, that I could run to get some more experience under a few characters' belts. Assuming the same characters, that would take Alan to 2nd and Kara and Kelly both to 3rd and Dave to 4th.

David will miss a session in two weeks and he is respecing his pregen cleric into a summoner.

I also have two 3 XP modules that I could run which are tier 1-2. Long story short, I can run for the next few weeks until Alan has an approriate level character and then Bruce could pick up with Level 2 of Thornkeep.

OotS Minis

It looks like there are now four Order of the Stick minis available.

It's Been Awhile...

...since I looked at Mr Welch.

1550. The Dirty Harry 'Feeling Lucky Punk' speech doesn't work with a longbow.

1582. I need to stop telling new players bards were the original prestige class.

1599. There is no prize for having the prettiest werewolf.

1603. I am not El Vago the Gay Blade.  (Should we make an exception for Randy?)

1612. There is no such thing as Boobs +1.  (Maybe that's why Jon quit)

1620. I will not use the druid's chakram to play frisbee with his dire wolf.

1636. Animals native to Australia are not eligible for my druid's companion.

1653. The power gamer would appreciate me not bringing the book with the rule he is grotesquely abusing.

1662. No starting a mosh pit in a leper colony.

1671. Before entering the dungeon I will take off the "I'm with tasty -->" tabard.

1682. Snufficate is not a real way to kill somebody.  (...again, exception for Randy?)

1694. Debauchery is not a stat.

1709. Even if its really cool, no throwing dry ice on the water weird.

1721. The minute the GM figures out my Inquisitor is Lennie Briscoe, he dies.  (Exception for Bruce?)

1752. No summoning octopi to make the sleeping paladin explain all the hickies.

1790. Can't find the villain just by casting power word stun in the bar and see who's still standing.  (I've done this)

1864. Even if paladin starts with P and that rhymes with T, it doesn't stand for trouble.
1865. No wasting Music Man references on a 10th grader.

1878. Elves are not all backstabbing, untrustworthy weasels, but you never hear about a dark gnome do you?

1896. Even if they have blond hair, blue eyes and are proud of their physical perfection, Aasimir don't appreciate Seig Heils.

1958. Dwarven breast milk is not 180 proof.

2010.  Improved tax evasion is not a real feat.

2032.  If I ever trick the DM into telling us the only way to make money mining is to work the shaft, all my characters die.  Not just in this game either.

2070. The spell is "Heat Metal", not "Detect Piercings".

2083.  'Fifty Shades of Grey Dwarves' is not the new Duergar sourcebook.

2129.  I will refer to the other player's sidekick by her name and not just "Your make believe Chinese lesbian girlfriend."

2141.  After clearing out the dungeon, I won't animate all the dead orcs and leave behind the copper pieces so the next party won't be totally disappointed.

2153. The "fur" and "lust" domains shall never meet.  (Exception for BOB)
