Campaign Journal: When Darkness Comes

[Jeffrey]

Well the early levels maybe up to around 4ish come sorta fast if the adventure is more hack and slash, BUT as I said, I only give out xp for magical items and creatures killed so the xp gain was normal, I didnt hand out bonus xp to any of the guys so I dunno. But anyways glad you "sorta" liked it hehe and as soon as my group figures out where they want to be I will see what can be done about more Journals.

Journal writing is actually aggrevating as hell lol
... and I am not the best story teller in the world either.



PS: One thing was said by Necroth was if the group redid there characters over to Dragonlance and reversed there levels to level 1 he was bucking on giving up Muragh the talking skull. I am actually considering letting him keep it, it really added to the adventure group and watching Brutus almost blow a fuse makes it worth allowing him to retain it. The talking skull in my opinion was the best thing I did to add to the group, it has really added to the groups enjoyment.

Well, we have done alot of discussing, and we have pretty much decided to do away with the hime grown campaign world. The one working on it just do not have the time to put into getting it finished so ......

We have decided to return to where we should never have left in the first place - Greyhawk. It will still be 1E, 1.5E, 2E rules. It will begin during the timeline of around the year 572-573. Shortly before the time when the Prince of Furyondy was kidnapped. Our first adventure will more than likely be The Temple of Elemental Evil. *as if it hasn't been played enough as it is*

We are deciding if we plan for the group to reroll all new characters or take the characters from this adventure and simply reset them to level 1. We have kinda gotten attached to this group so more than likely we will reset these existing characters back to level 1 and strip them back down to basic starting gear. Necroth has been whining about loosing Muragh lol I might have to let him keep the skull and *maybe* remove the two abilities it has ... not sure on this yet.

We also will have a new addition to the group. A Dwarven Warrior - name unknown at this time but it should be fun adding him to the group.

Not sure if anyone reads this journal but I thought I would add this information. We want to try to get this thing going in December and make it our christmas campaign hehe

We sat down today ... myself and jeff (the DM) and decided that I will be the one posting the campaign/adventure journals since he is PC-less and has to come hog my PC to do it, he has his laptop but doesnt have internet, where he lives he has dial-up so he will type em all up and save them to floppy and I will upload the journals to the forums.

Just letting those interested know.

Were shooting for mid December to kick off the Greyhawk campaign

Well its been a while, we have not played any since the last campaign journal entries. We are in the process of reforming a group, I think all of our schedules have slowed down some and Jeff has started workin on something all new.

Brutus and Clara will be the only two in the group from the last adventure. Currently the group is looking like the following.

Brutus on another Warrior
Clara playing her favorite class .... Cleric "of course"

2 new comers:

Gimble the Dwarven Warrior
Tallon the Elven Ranger
Necroth says he may be able to get back into the game with us so crossing fingers on this one.

Regardless, since the group is reforming basically new again, everyone has decided to just retire off there characters they played here and roll up new ones, Clara and Brutus refused to let go of there two names lol so we will just say that was just some random adventure played elsewhere.

Anyways maybe something gets fired up real soon for us.

Still nothing as of yet

I will be posting the Journals under my account this time, it is less confusing hehe since I was logging his acct on and doing it for him in the first place. Weve had a few setbacks though, Jeff has a brother who has Lou Gehrig's Disease (not sure if thats spelled right) and he is not doing well at all. I try not to pry into this matter with him because this brother is very close to him and I would only make it worst.

Were discussing working up a side adventure while we wait on Jeff to take care of his personal life. Jeff has stated he was very willing to DM the group but we as a group felt he should spend this time his brother has left with him. So I will post updates here as they come and the next journals will start in a new thread.
