[PnP] Introducing New Players

[Floyd Resler]

I haven’t had a chance to run it yet. We’ve been playing Descent Legends of the Dark. I was hoping to squeeze it in after we finished that and before we started our new Pathfinder campaign. It looks like I’ll have to wait to run it after the Pathfinder campaign.

I read through the combat rules and found all the info. I have the characters already generated. I also rolled the random encounters ahead of time and I created a spreadsheet which will track each creature’s HPV as well as the Experience and Expertise gained for each character during combat. I definitely don’t want new players feeling bogged down by a bunch of paperwork!

I think my group is really going to love the combat and magic system. Hopefully, they’ll like the entire system enough to want to go through Tower of the Dead.

As for the PBEM game, yeah, I had joined that but, at the time, was really busy with other things. How can I join again? And, since I’m going to be running a game a some point, it would help if I actually had some play time in!

Thanks!
Floyd

I printed up County Mordara and opened up my P&P box to pull out other books so I could get the random encounters set up ahead of time. Guess what was in the box - County Mordara! I have no idea how I missed it when I looked in the box for it! I must be getting old! Question: For combat, is there an initiative order? I haven’t thoroughly re-read the combat rules but a quick look didn’t yield any information. Thanks!

I asked if they’d be interested in trying out the system for one adventure before we delve into our new Pathfinder campaign and they said they would. So, does anyone have a suggestion for a simple, single evening adventure? I thought about just doing some random encounters but that could either get boring or it could actually develop into a story. I also thought about looking at the adventure that came in the box set but I can’t find it. Does anyone have a PDF of it? >> Thanks! >> Floyd >> _______________________________________________ > > pnp mailing list >> pnp at list.powersandperils.org >> http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnp  > > _______________________________________________ >  pnp mailing list > pnp at list.powersandperils.org > http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnp _______________________________________________ pnp mailing list pnp at list.powersandperils.org http://www.powersandperils.org/cgi-bin/mailman/listinfo/pnp
