2/5

I just played Tome of Righteous Repose last night and had a blast. It was one of the most challenging scenarios I've played in a while. The GM told us he could run it a dozen times and never repeat the same encounters.
So can the same character run this multiple times for credit? I was thinking of having a party at Lastwall run it several times in succession, each time using a different page from the Tome.

You as a player can play through it multiple times, but each character can only have 1 chronicle from it for credit.

Sadly, no. The scenario is replayable, but you can still only have the same Chronicle sheet on a character once. Your next run through has to be with a new character, I'm afraid.

Glad you like it. I've played it two times now and had great fun as well. I really like this as an evergreen, even though it's been on the tough side so far.

Edit: Ninja'd. Damn my need to be long-winded.

Ah well! It was a great idea for a minicampaign until reality reared its ugly head.

I too played this for the first time yesterday and enjoyed it. I always try to play a scenario before I prep it (because it helps me run things to have an example (both good and bad) from which to deviate, and also because it helps me not worry so much about my inner metagamer rearing it's ugly head.

This one, from all I hear is so different... how many times should I play it before I run it?

One time on every character you have stuck on level 6

Well... if you want to see every possible combination before you run it, you'll have to play it 163,000 times. If you just want to see all the content, you'll only have to play it 72 times.

I think once is probably good. It's got a bunch of different options and ways to run it, so I would make sure to give yourself extra time to prep it.

5/5 *****

I played it twice before running it but be careful. I made an assumption about the layout of one room based on the way it was run for me only to check midway through and discover it had been done quite wrongly.

I would also be careful to check each area description. While two locations use the same map there are some significant differences between what is at some locations (one for example has some lighted areas the other doesn't).

I've run and played this several times. One not at all surprising thing that I've noticed is that GM mistakes/deliberate changes/different rules interpretations make a considerable difference in difficulty and feel.

It does an EXCELLENT job of making it quite replayable but it is still the case that after 2 or 3 runs you've seen most of what it offers, you're then down to variations on a theme

I'd say you could go 4-6 times, at least, and still see significant variations. But beyond that, sure.

3 different sets of room descriptions, 4 main sets of bad guys. At least until you've seen all three dungeons, and all four major villain sets, then you haven't really played it all.

Multiply that by two tiers.

Good point!

But, it could be argued that the tiers don't play differently enough?

...Somehow I am not surprised that you calculated that, Andrew :)

(PS we're running this twice at our soon-to-be-announced Feb 17-19 convention, if you're interested ;)
