<p>Discussions surrounding the final encounter came up a lot while working with other freelancers and our Supreme Overload Developer. In the end, I managed to work in a whole bunch of crazy requirements that were shuffled in and out of the original outline and that mutated during the course of our Basecamp discussions. I wanted a final encounter that would be memorable, and something that would give the GM "A LOT" of ammunition if the PCs decided to take things off the rails.</p>
<p>While everyone likes "winning" one of my most successful campaigns was a Second Darkness AP that ended with the PCs getting a Pyrrhic victory in the final encounter. High-level play allows for some pretty ridiculous encounters (boy do I have stories) so you want to make sure that finales can provide great stories: win or lose.</p>
<p>Robert Brookes did an awesome job of following up on the potential aftermath of the final encounter in his "continuing the campaign" article. Meanwhile, I'm pretty pleased with how the final encounter really encapsulates the conflict between the alghollthus and Azlant, with the PCs stuck in the middle and essentially fighting for the "modern world."</p>Creon Vizcarra wrote:Thanks Mr. Hillman, it did help.
