Unfortunately, it seems very likely that the D&D Sunday campaign will be on indefinite hiatus. Well, we finished the campaign, so perhaps hiatus isn’t the right word, but due to a lack of players, it won’t be continuing on Sundays.
Instead, I’ll be starting up a campaign on Saturday evenings (7pm-11pm), running 3 weeks of every 4. (On the 4th week, I’ll be running Lair Assault). It will begin in December, probably have a couple of sessions where we find our feet before Christmas and the New Year intervene, and then get fully underway in January. The theme of the campaign will be the viking/barbarian game I’ve discussed before, but we’ll use the 4th edition rules instead of AD&D. Probably.
So, this Saturday, I’m running a Lair Assault… and the session after the new campaign will begin.
Who will be playing? Honestly, I’m not 100% sure. My basic impression is that Rich, Chris and Adam are willing and available. Greg – if you’re reading this – is very welcome to join in, but I wouldn’t be 100% surprised if his job will preclude him from the game. Another 2-3 players will probably join us from the Good Games players. And, yes, the campaign will be taking place at Good Games Ballarat.
I’ll be paying some attention to races and classes taken in this game – it’s not open season, as there is a particular theme I’m going for. Some of the Feywild stuff is probably appropriate (the classes, not the races). I’m open to running it in AD&D if the players want that.
The adventure will begin in a small village of the Frost Barbarians, a village that isn’t doing so well: in the last raiding season, the ship it sent to raid the southlands was sunk, and no-one returned to the village. The village is impoverished, and the young men and women of the village – that’s you – are being looked to bring prosperity back to your home.
