Hey Myke! It's amazing how after some time has gone by you can look back on something you've written and say, "How did I produce such shit?" That's a valuable part of the editing process, though.

Yeah, we played NWN last night--I was DM and Johnny, Eric, and Rudy were the dauntless adventurers. I had a lot of fun! OK, the part where I had my talk mode set incorrectly, and for 15 minutes was typing things like "PLEASE TELL ME WHEN YOU'RE READY TO START!" while the guys couldn't heard anything I said, that wasn't so great. D'ohhh! The rest was fun though.

Probably the funniest part was when Johnny, aka "Da Freeze" went rummaging through the lady smith's belongings and got yelled at, then Eric (aka "Batma N'Theride") calmed her down, then Johnny made her angry all over again. I was cracking up! Startlingly reminscent of a real D&D session, too.

I definitely want to try again! Thanks, Lous!

D&D Summary

I can't believe that at one time I had all of that stuff in my head. It's incredible how much you can keep in there, and what you can forget once you purge it from memory.

I wrote that after we took an extended break. We actually played two more adventures after that, I think. One of them was an aborted half-session at a convention or something, you only got to the first fight (a bunch of guys in a market), it sucked. Then your asses forget everything and woke up back on the ship with some stuff at the start of the next adventure.

That one was in a weird tower called Demonclaw. That was the one where at one point this entire tribe of kobolds entered the tower and you slaughtered tons of them including women & children. Then you jumped through a gate to somewhere called Nightsea. That's where we stopped.

That was a fun campaign.

Bonus post!

OK, for Eric (and I guess, Rudy soon): here's how to get everything back in the Heroscape box, courtesy of rpg.net:

1. Toss the white tray.
2. Start layering in terrain. But instead of building it all the way across, build it the width of two of the large pieces when nested--that'll be about 2/3 the box width. Put groups of water tiles underneath the large pieces. You can fit 4 or 5 unit cards under each 7-hex piece. Anyway, just build up a brick like that--you'll get almost to the top of the box. I also put the glyph tiles underneath loose bits.
3. Now you have tons of space on the right side. So you can put in Mimring (teh darg0on) and then drop everything else in around her. Booyah! You're done.
