Emergency Replacement Campaigns Do you keep a contingency campaign handy in case of TPK? If my Greyhawk players are crushed by the giants of Geoff, Anomalous Subsurface Environment is up to bat.
Where did it all go wrong, Casey? I can’t pinpoint it, but it was already too late when they remade 3:10 to Yuma and took a movie that was mostly two men talking about morality in a hotel room and put in a Gatling gun.
This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
You wouldn't just have folks make up new PCs and continue to explore the same world?
ReplyDeleteThe players might vote for that, in which case I'd go along with it. But I've got gamer ADD. Always something new to try.
ReplyDeleteWhen this has happened in the past I kept the same world and moved to a different area where they had not visited before.
ReplyDeleteMy 4E TPK insurance was to offer the dead PCs jobs as the Raven Queen's commandos.
