The next one? The next module? Yeah, I just bought it a few weeks ago. I also have DL4 in PDF form.

The entire game (all three books) focuses on the war--the War of the Lance. So there's always pressure to do what needs to be done before the forces of evil win the war and take over the world. This game is a far cry from anything resembling a sandbox. There is still a time limit, though. In the next module, for instance, there's a time limit to how long Verminaard can reorganize his troops, track you down, and wipe out all of the refugees. That time limit is longer since you guys destroyed the front gate of Pax Tharkas, however. If the party fails to complete their objectives before that time limit, then all of the refugees will die.

Dragons of Hope (DL3) and Dragons of Desolation (DL4) finish off Dragons of Autumn Twilight (the first book), and both focus heavily on keeping the refugees safe and finding a place for them to hide.

I'm not sure what you mean by exploration, Breila. Do you mean...just go wherever you want, do whatever you want, like in Lost Souls? Then the answer is no. I mean, you guys can do that...but then when the time limit is up, bad things happen (like all the refugees dying). There is exploration on a smaller scale; like exploring dungeons and such, though. While the entire game has taken place in Abanansinia so far (and that isn't going to change until Dragons of Winter Night, really), the third and fourth modules do bring us to a different part of that area.

I would rather run a DL game in Savage Worlds in hindsight, hmm. If you do go forward with the other one, I would consider a change of system to allow for more drama and RP.

[JadedDM]

The only system I know is 2nd Edition AD&D; that's why all of my games are run with it.

[Kafen]

Savage Worlds has a preview system on the site if you want to try it. It would allow you to move the game much faster than AD&D. Even the grognards are using it...

[JadedDM]

I don't have the money to buy more gaming books at the moment. I'm basically living paycheck to paycheck, and am on the verge of losing my job...again. So for the time being, it's 2nd Edition or nothing at all for me.

I have the whole Savage Worlds books in PDF.. if you wanted.

And thanks for all your hard work on this one, sorry I bailed, but... Yeah Sorry.

It is paycheck to paycheck, here. The PDFs are what I use for most players.

Anyways, it is food for thought. I know the stress of looking for a good job. It might be good for a diversion.

[JadedDM]

For the time being, I'm just going to put this game on hiatus. Aside from the job thing, I just started a couple of new classes at the local community college, and they're eating up my extra time as it is. Maybe in a couple of months, I'll feel different about whether I want to run this game any further and maybe there will be more player interest by then. Or maybe not. We'll see in a couple of months.

Do you want me to relocate it to: "Inactive Games" ?

[JadedDM]

That's fine.

[Jenara]

Done, I will leave you to close and lock when you are ready, or let me know.
