Working on next week's adventure possibilities. It's going to be good. There are monsters, mystery, sound effects, top-down maps, 3D visual pictures of some of the scenes. There are NPC's, allies, henchmen, neutrals, extras, red herrings (false leads, distractions), and enemies. It's a mystery-based adventure to an abandoned mansion / rumored haunted house. I expect this Mansion will take 3-4 sessions/weeks to play through (a month of weekly play), and along the way we will make connections to additional adventure hooks in the world. Also still working on more Player recruitment, on the side. New Players might come, or, you might wish to recruit a few NPC's / Hirelings to help. The next adventure is designed for 5-8 characters so we are a bit short with 3. Henchmen are defined here as your friends (found in the game world) whom you charm or recruit to your cause, and the Players control them. Hirelings are defined as NPC's who you pay to serve the party, and the Players share control with the DM (so their loyalty is less secure). In the event of Hirelings, your PC's would remain the central leaders of the party, and controllers of the action, and the extras would be a side-show to help at your command (though they might disagree occasionally if the DM is playing them). Journal Request: Gray , Chris , and Battalia -- Each Player please respond in the Journal thread about last week's game, preferably before the start of next session. Your response can range from 1 paragraph, up to unlimited story length. 250 to 500 words is the recommended wordcount but you can go above or below, as you like. Short is OK. Please don't skip this because you wanted to write a long story and need more time. Just write a short paragraph for now. You can add more later if you want to. If anyone has not written a journal by the start time of next session, we will take a break before gameplay picks up, and ask you to write your journal right then, at the start of the session. If it comes down to that, you'll just need to write a single paragraph extemporaneously, and this should take 5 minutes or less. The key is full participation of all the Players, in the Journaling process. This is where we keep a record of what's happened in the game, and enhance the gameplay to include text interaction outside the game-session times. It helps with character development and character expression, and should be a fun part of the campaign. We are not concerned about having the perfect story and publication-quality writing. Just a few sentences expressing the perspective of your PC in relation to last week's Leprechaun adventures, will be sufficient. Drawings are also good, even very amateur art like a cartoon or a sketch, if you want to draw instead of writing. New players will look at the Journal threads to catch up and get the feel of the adventures, encounters, opponents, fellow PC's, and campaign history. To help jump-start your Journal, I'm going to Assign the following 3 pictures, to the existing 3 Players. You are each responsible for writing a caption for just 1 picture. The caption you write is to-be a short story expressing your character's memories of the encounter that happened in the scene depicted in the picture. 1 paragraph minimum for each caption / story / Player, or a drawing instead. Note: You can write a story about the whole day's adventure, or you can write a story about only the picture that I'm assigning to you. You can go beyond the assigned picture if you choose. I want to assign 1 picture each because some Players may find it easier to take a bite-size memory of last week, rather than trying to tackle journaling the entire adventure so far at once. Post your Journal paragraph here: <a href="https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1724663/post-jou" rel="nofollow">https://app.roll20.net/forum/post/1724663/post-jou</a>... Your journal could start with something as simple as "Remember that one time when ______" Or "a scene that my character made an impact was _____" Gray , respond to this image: (Write something short about how Kryikh was flying before this across the sheep-pasture, but you landed as the trees got more dense, and to help the party look for a shamrock and lucky clovers. Then a leprechaun ninja dropped out of a tree, and tell how you charmed him and what his name is.) Chris , respond to this image: (Tell about the spell or spells Airen casted in this scene.) Battalia , respond to this image: (Please tell a sentence each about the old-lady-leprechaun who was so exhausted from dancing that she teetered and fell into the lily-pond. Tell another sentence about how Jade noticed a Dryad woman who passed-out and hit her head on a rock, and how you recruited the party to help carry her back to her soul-tree where she made a full recovery). After you post this, I will give you a reward that the Dryads gave to Jade, which I forgot to mention during the session. (!) Be sure to post your response in the Journal thread for March , not in the current Status thread.
