I'd go with the Archpriest meeting, as that can lead to more player shenanigans, but either one works.Skerpleshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06393779599461560431noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-90544245753413370012023-07-04T18:20:08.517-06:002023-07-04T18:20:08.517-06:00I ran this for my group a few days ago and it was ...I ran this for my group a few days ago and it was great!<br /><br />One question: the module says Bertrand the Grocer has a meeting with Gomstead at 12 on Day 2. But Gomstead's schedule lists him as having lunch with the Archpriest at that time. Which is it?

Any advice on changing it to be more a heist about stealing an inanamite object in a secure location to a kidnapping?<br />solomanihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12835700093903569531noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-47050987711382246432020-08-17T23:00:22.714-06:002020-08-17T23:00:22.714-06:00To clarify: Copies of the drawings without the roo...To clarify: Copies of the drawings without the room numbers.

They escaped by casting spiderwalk on the druid who then transformed into a bear, took the drag queen sorcerer on its back and a sedated archpriest in its mouth and this whole clusterfuck of freaks started running on the walls! Then they plunged into the river and managed to reach the boat but by that time the archpriest had drunk too much filthy river-water and was dead! But everything's fine cause they had raided his treasure room so each of them had already double the money they were promised. Very inspired and inspiring module!Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799241890450491149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-35854900049189167452018-09-14T12:10:31.772-06:002018-09-14T12:10:31.772-06:00This comment has been removed by the author.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10799241890450491149noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-59450655838423447062018-03-09T11:32:11.123-07:002018-03-09T11:32:11.123-07:00I just started running this with a single player. ...I just started running this with a single player. I'm using the GLOG and we're playing it in live chat sessions on Slack (not play-by-forum, but not playing for hours at once either.) The player character is a thief who seems very focused on poisoning. In fact, he talked Isaac into giving him access to an alchemists lab before leaving for Thule instead of 10 GP.Valzihttps://www.blogger.com/profile/08052154892033159242noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1958522416503442248.post-4330000842958448642018-02-20T09:01:03.183-07:002018-02-20T09:01:03.183-07:00I did - in the GLOG playtest, they had 2 attacks/r...I did - in the GLOG playtest, they had 2 attacks/round, an Attack of 17, and +2 damage.
