Same here. See y'all then!

Alrighty.... everyone has done their RPs, so I get to be lazy a bit longer since you guys can carry on without me for a bit (Yay!)

Also, quick question:

Did you prefer this method of splitting up // following leads, or the other, directly-forum based version?

Its about the same amount of work for me, but its also significantly faster, I think. Your views?

I kinda like this way. Makes things feel smoother.

I rather liked it...it did move things along quicker, even if it did result in me casting Wall of Text.

I thought it was fun. If people don't mind, though, I'd kinda like to see full transcriptions of the AIM convos (like Yalenus put up), as opposed to just short summaries told to the group, if only because I'm curious as to the neat things you guys got into. Next time, maybe.

Yes was rather cool, the pace was definitly good but think Id prefer to do it small groups rather than just one-to-one. No offence NT but two or three pcs would be better.

*edit*
whew wall of text is right though! I thought Khalils rp was quite short when we ran it but damn theres a lot there where you post it.

None taken. I actually prefer it when there's two of you so that you can bounce things off of each other.

Agreed, despite the rp it did feel a little like a q&a with the DM at times, where you were waiting to see what I asked and I was trying to guess what to ask. Having someone else involved makes the whole process a lot more natural.

Still cool though.

I hate to be a nit-picker, especially to something as well made as this campaign, but... on the first page of Book Four, when asked about what sort of things were forbidden in Phiraz, Michel said:

"Well...." Michel looked at the sky, trying to dredge up a thousand hours of lessons from his youth. "Pharazian legal codes are a bit odd. They're big on morality, and pretty fair in some ways. Their tax codes and inheritance laws are scrupulously fair, but..."

"Let's see.... no alcohol, no gambling, no drugs of any sort, and for Ezra's sake, don't say anything bad about the Prophet! They're excruciatingly touchy about that. Oh, and..."

(bolding added)
But then Khalil's investigation takes him to an honest-to-goodness standard D&D tavern, complete with helpful barkeep. What gives?

At first I thought maybe the prohibition on alcohol was for "dhimmi" only, but Khalil got served his grog, even with the green armband. Did Michel misremember the laws? Inquiring minds want to know!

Two explanations, take your pick:

A. It's a lower class criminal-type bar, where Confessors probably don't enter unless its in numbers.

B. The DM has a bad memory.

Or C: The law is the law is the law ... but even the lawkeepers sometimes need a place to go where they can drink something to forget the stuff they see all day. Free or discount drinks probably go a long way to achieving 'no questions asked, no arrests made'.

Gonzoron of the FoS · Post by **Gonzoron of the FoS** » Wed Mar 26, 2008 2:18 pm

Thought it might be B. But I'll go with A or C.

Just keeping you on your toes. Keep up the good work!

Well, y'know, Prohibition. Easy to legislate, hard to enforce!
