I will be traveling to Boston tomorrow until Wednesday afternoon, will be able to post again Wednesday after I'm home. Customer meetings will occupy my days and evenings all of Monday and Tuesday.

Hey y'all, I'm traveling to GenCon next Monday the 30th and will not return until the 7th. Experience tells me there is no way I'll find time to post, I'm working a booth so the day starts early and ends late. I will resume posting on the 8th after I have recovered.

For what its worth, you all have earned enough experience for 15th level!!
How would you guys like to close out the campaign in gameplay? I will put together a coronation scene (fast-forwarding the timeline a month or so), but I'm happy to play out any loose ends you want to wrap up with your characters. Your friends will arrive in Kasai shortly after hearing of your success.

Nomad Sage |

It has been a pleasure! We rocked through the first 3 parts in about 18 months, so I figured we'd have finished a few years ago, lol!
I'll put out some closing threads in the game soon. Feel free to play out as much or as little as you like. I'm not planning any major encounters or anything, but if we dig down a rabbit hole far enough, I'll go with it! ;)

Only a side note in case you decided to follow the trail during the campaign. I intended there to be a link with Hatsue, like your father was the solitary monk that transported her to the monastery, after her parents were killed. Something like that. I expected she would join you on the quest, further tightening your friendship, if not a romantic one.

Hey everyone, I'm looking at starting up another PbP campaign to fill in for finishing this one. I'm planning to run The Emerald Spire super-dungeon and maybe parts of Thornkeep if they come into play. Its almost purely a dungeon crawl with some cool quest elements, so definitely a different pace from Jade Regent. Its also a much smaller commitment on the time side of things!
Anyway, if any of you are interested, you all have first dibs on a place in the party before I open it up for recruitment. You've all been great players and very consistent posters! Let me know!

That's a nice tie in. AP's are usually so goal oriented that it's harder to advocate sidetreks, i think. I appreciate the thought though.
Heng was a rather more subdued character than I usually play as well. I don't know that I'd make such a reserved character again. Esp considering I'd be playing that PC a looong time in an AP ; )

Doesn't it say up to level 13? That's almost another AP there! it could be a little more sandbox though. I'm interested. Maybe a jaded cad-type fighter this time.

The book says 1-12, on a fast track though.
I was pondering trying out the 2nd playtest rules, since I'm already familiar with the main changes via Starfinder. But I also wouldn't mind giving it a go on current PF rules, with the sea of options available, as a last hurrah. I think I'd defer the decision to the group though -- if enough want to try 2nd, I'm game...
Thinking about it a bitmore, the dungeon crawl is a good "limited" environment to try out new rules, especially the tactical combat-type stuff, without having to worry too much about odd character builds, etc.

I am totally in. I have a bard/alchemist Indiana Jones type build that I never got to fully explore. May do that or possibly some sort of war priest. I've been hunting for that right niche of religious zealot and havent quite nailed it down. If I have a Eureka moment, i might consider that

I'll adapt to 2nd ed if you go that way.

I'd play first edition, too, if everyone decides they'd rather! But I have to say, I am enamored of the streamlined action economy and slick monster distinctions. It makes me glad to GM again!
Actually, if you'd rather play, boss, I could run it.

Nomad Sage |

RE: Emerald Spire...
Tempting, but I'll run it! =) Sounds like we have an interested quorum. I'll set up a campaign thread and post the link ASAP. We can discuss edition and characters there.

RE: Jade Regent...
I took a little time this week and went through the entire part 1 game thread, reminiscing and remembering some parts I'd forgotten a few years gone. I figured I'd share my notes and some favorite moments. I'll do the same for Pts 2, 3, and 4-6 as I get to them. Enjoy!

Nomad Sage |

Yeah, Skygni kinda just emerged organically. After you rescued the young winter wolf from the dungeon in Kalsgard, he (she?) could have just disappeared. I figured he'd have trouble rejoining a pack, smelling of humans and all, so where would a young pup go? Channeled a little 'White Fang' or something in there...
The bonsai was really just the focus plant for that oni (can't remember the name off hand). After you rescue the plant from the House of Withered Blossoms, the oni can rejoin its plant and eventually make it healthy again. There wasn't much else printed on it, but one board suggestion was to grant the party a boon when in vicinity of the bonsai, like protected from scrying, etc. We really didn't follow up on it, so it never came up in-game.

Oh yeah, I remember the ogrekin prisoner dilemma and then Mal getting all pissed when Heng called him out for being rude to the crazy tengu like 5 minutes later. He was all like "Parity just murdered that dude outside!"

Hey guys, I reactivated the JR campaign for a moment to post the Emerald Spire gameplay thread, just in case you don't see a notification in that campaign.
Here it is! See you there...
