Felltower Work Today & Looking ahead to next session

Felltower

I spent today doing maps - not in the VTT, but on paper, for a few areas of Felltower and it's connected regions that I hadn't mapped out yet.

I also have a nice binder of graph paper that I am using to do small-scale maps I could potentially put in a VTT for when certain areas get explored. It's quite enjoyable, although I did realize I need a good L-ruler and small metal ruler, so I ordered those. Otherwise the artitecture templates I have from one of my players will do nicely for just about all mapping.

Brotherhood Complex

Next week the PCs will continue their delve into the Brotherhood complex, with the likely additions of Percy and Duncan. I figured I'd get a few potential questions out of the way with that.

More hirelings? Yes, Percy and Duncan can come with additional hirelings. They'll need to make the rolls themselves, bankroll it themselves, and otherwise equip them, if necessary. They can't have any retroactive help from the other PCs because they technically left after the others did, even if only shortly. I don't allow retroactive action in my games, with very few exceptions.

Extra consumables? Sure. They can bring whatever they want. If players want to order stuff on the sly through them and have them just happen to bring someone someone else suddenly realized they need . . . that's very meta, very lame, and very disappointing, but how would I know? I trust people to play the game they want.

XP for the full delve? Yes, everyone gets XP as if they participated from the beginning.

Friday Roundup

It's Friday, hurrah!

- So you want much more detail when you do dungeon stocking?

d4 Caltrops has you covered.

- This is one weird-looking Otyugh figure.

- I really enjoyed this issue of Dragon, #115. I was inspired to try and set up a thief-centered game. We did some character generation but we never did finish setting it all up.

- Next Felltower is 12/29.

Stock up on GURPS PDFs

SJG is doing 15% on $20 or more of electronic goods:

Solstice Sale

If you need suggestions, I wrote a bunch of stuff. I highly recommend DFT3 if you're trying to figure out the magic items I hand out.

Enjoy.

It's Almost Time for Another Felltower Questionnaire

It's been, oh, 7 years or so since I last did a player questionnaire.

I discussed the concept here:

Player's Campaign Feedback Questionnaires

I was vaguely considering this around session 200. We're now on 201. So my plan is, after the PCs finish either this next session or finishing sacking the Brotherhood Complex, I'll hand out a new set of questionnaires. Much will be the same, but I may add or change some questions to reflect current questions I have brewing around.

It's really a good time to take the temperature of the campaign and survey the players. So be on the lookout for that. And I'll post a questionnaire link at that time for anyone who wants to play along at home, or use the concept with their own games.

Epic Games Free Game: Return to Moria

I haven't played it, but I grabbed it - Epic Games is giving away this game:

Return to Moria

Given that it's free, and I already have an Epic Games account, I went for it. Just passing along the news in case anyone is interested.

Friday Roundup 12/13/2024

End of another busy week.

- Computer RPG as a training device, perhaps? This 1979 CRPG has you play a doctor and prescribe treatment for patients. Pretty neat. Part of me feels like this is what were doing for nuclear reactors playing SCRAM! It didn't come up in my line of work, though. Probably for the better.

- Beowulf, as a DF Wrestler template GURPS character.

- Illustrations from Wizardry: Proving Ground of the Mad Overlord. I'd forgotten about Mordorcharge.
