Even during that portion of the game I was laughing pretty hard.

And yeah on second thought if anything I should have moved some contents of the rooms around to show off some of the better bits. <br /><br /><br />@Brian<br />I guess I'm not too dissuaded since I just went and bought a new mike on my lunch hour. I have been contemplating putting another game together so I can recycle the bits not used Friday night.<br /><br />Glad to hear you had a good time, it was hard to GM at points I was laughing so hard.Chris Kutalikhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/01414743509426875792noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-72144572781932343512011-03-21T12:30:39.864-05:002011-03-21T12:30:39.864-05:00Don't let the Skype troubles dissuade you man ...Don't let the Skype troubles dissuade you man or I might never get to game with that bunch again! I can't remember the last time I've had as much fun! One of those sessions I really wished we had recorded.<br /><br />The game itself was pretty fun, there were some loopholes in the rules we had, but having The Drune there to answer the questions was a really nice added bonus. All in all, it was a great time, and by far the best Skype game I have played.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-1389986049507804094.post-2886867757920476192011-03-21T10:49:49.105-05:002011-03-21T10:49:49.105-05:00You have my sympathies on the Skype difficulties. ...You have my sympathies on the Skype difficulties. Everytime I try to play online, there are *always* technical problems. You'd think this would all be easy by now...<br /><br /><i>I hate to admit it—since it breaks every principle of how I run a game at the tabletop—but I had to tone down the numbers and frequency of the complex's guardians just enough to let them get through to have a satisfying denouement for the night. </i><br /><br />No shame in this. In a one-shot, the most important thing is that the session end well and dramatic pacing is critical. You can always reclaim your old-school cred during your next regular campaign session. :)<br /><br />Sounds like a great session, technical difficulties aside.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17635116929490398699noreply@blogger.com
