It's nice to see someone who really thought this module through and put a lot more effort into the game than I did. It makes me want to run mine better. Thank you!valkin15https://www.blogger.com/profile/15836169606518475393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-37089740124587998642017-01-13T21:49:21.789-08:002017-01-13T21:49:21.789-08:00Alastair: Thanks!

They really liked Squirrel Man, it was a nice way to get the new guy into the game in a fun way. Sometimes you get that home run NPC and you just ride it for all that it's worth!Seanhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07263753821685936593noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-8602568525555002082017-01-05T03:30:00.507-08:002017-01-05T03:30:00.507-08:00Thanks Sean.

I hope things have worked out for you now. I was regaling my playing group last night with some of the exploits of Lucky and Squirrel Man - they thought it was hilarious!! :o)Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078107144060567744noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-422181426312081107.post-45830048832381513852017-01-04T17:41:05.333-08:002017-01-04T17:41:05.333-08:00Alastair Scarlett: When I ran this, I was really c...Alastair Scarlett: When I ran this, I was really confused by Feathergale Spire. I messed it up pretty badly. Specifically, the connecting land bridge at the top.. I don't know why, but I couldn't wrap my head around it. I did omit the crack. The thing about using NPCs to block it is that the players might just get more determined to get in, and come up with clever schemes to get in. If they come up with something hilarious and feasible, it will feel really lame to block it. That's why I just handwave it away - I don't want to risk having the players bump into an invisible wall, like in a video game.

Or, use a friendly NPC to warn them off or direct them elsewhere.Alastairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13078107144060567744noreply@blogger.com
