Post-session thoughts

I just wanted to say that our first session was awesome. You guys all rock and I had an absolute blast working through the story with you. I'm really excited to see what our group can do next session and I hope you all had as much fun as I did. Apologies for being a bit slower to get into character, or speak at all for that matter. Now that I've had a chance to get a feel for the group, it will be much easier to interact in character.  Thanks again for being so awesome tonight!

Thanks, Brian!   I feel like I'm still getting my sea legs under me as it's been a while since I've run a game, so even though I'm familiar with this story, and Roll20 I think it'll take a few sessions for me to really hit my stride... But I agree that it was a fun time - which is the most important thing.  The kinks and whatnots we can work out in time, but as long as everyone's enjoying it then we're going in the right direction! And I'm always open to suggestions, criticisms, etc.  Just let me know if you have any complaints, questions, or whatever.  I'm the DM, but this is our game, not my game.

It was good, I quite enjoyed it. I am sorry my internet cut out near the end there...

No problems, Julian.  I won't make you watch the video if you don't want :)  Let me know when you dropped out and I can give you a quick recap for next game.  I think we just finished up the cave and did a bit of Phandalin before retiring.

My only thought is why is the next game day so far away.

Sorry, Rob.  I thought the same thing shortly after our session... Damn, two weeks.  But I'm hoping that it works out better over the long haul.  Once a week runs us more easily into scheduling conflicts and makes things less flexible over a course of months.  And it also gives me as DM more time to prepare!  I mean, not for the starter set - this one's fairly easy.  But hopefully we'll get to something more complicated after a few sessions of this. Speaking of which... Are any of you absolutely set on Storm King's Thunder?  It sounds like it's good, but I think I want to try something else before diving into that, if you're game.  I'm not going to let on exactly what that is just yet, because spoilers, but I have a good idea of where I'd like to take things after this.

Maybe its something we can take week by like discuss it if we want to wait two weeks or a week at the end of each session? Don't get me wrong I'm down for whatever but it sucks coming out of a session with a ton of momentum than having to wait two weeks is torture to my Dwarf soul.
