Nomadical is awesome as both a GM and PC. I've played with him (and met him as well). I have played with Shifty but only with him as a PC. I'm playing March of the Dead for no credit but I'd love to replay it (since the last time we almost got wiped out)...

Isn't "Martin Gale" a wagering system where you essentially double your bet every time you lose, with the theory being that a win will recoup everything back (assuming you don't hit rock bottom in the interim)? :)

It's not the Adventure Mode stuff -- Replays only work on Adventures of 4 XP or less. I'll play anyway -- when I played it we didn't finish the whole adventure (we kinda almost got wiped out!) :)

I'd love to play the March of the Dead again -- I played it on Discord when it first came out and totally lost track. Dark Archive is ok as well.
I'm fine with another adventure.
Btw, Tyranius has informed me that he will be experiencing an Internet Blackout as he is being mobilized on short notice. Given the state of the world, we should send him as many hero points and natural 20's so that he returns to us in one piece.

Unfortunately, there's not much else I can do. I was going to pull a potion and feed it to Kzem but someone healed him. I thought So had Battle Med, but I guess he doesn't

Will vs DC 21, Guidance:1d20 + 9 + 1 - 2 ⇒ (17) + 9 + 1 - 2 = 25
"HA HA HA HA HA" he laughs with glee, though there's nothing inherently funny about their current situation. Still giggling, he unleashes a pair of strikes on the bugbear.

Startled by the sudden turn of events, Beggar So drops the shuriken he was holding and assumes a combat stance. He then slashes the thing in front of his face twice before backing away.

Beggar So tries to make friends with the boar. He tries to recall what he saw pig farmers did to calm their livestock... before they chased him off their land...
Nature:1d20 + 7 ⇒ (4) + 7 = 11
... he remembers he was too busy ducking the rocks being hurled at his head!

No, it's definitely longer, unless you intentionally skip some parts. That's what I was trying to say with the post count bit - it's at least 2x longer, maybe 3x.
ah. ok.
You planning to do another adventure? I must say I had fun with this one :)

Each chapter of the adventure is equivalent in credit to a regular scenario (4 XP), but the material is longer than the material in a scenario. We'll run just over 1,000 posts in this Adventure, which is equivalent to 4-5 scenarios worth of posts (I usually run 200-250 posts per scenario). When I ran Malevolence, it was 1,400 (so 5-7 scenarios worth of posts), and we ended Chapter 3 about halfway through because they ended up defeating the BBE, and clearing out the minions seemed anticlimactic. I guess we would have run 1,600-1,800 posts (6-9 scenarios worth of posts) if we had completed everything.
I think the assumption is that most groups are not completionist - they'll skip certain parts of the Adventure, so that total amount played is about the same material as 3-4 scenarios.
An additional advantage of this specific Adventure is that each of the three chapters are self-contained. You can run through one chapter, and end the story if people want to move on to something else, without leaving the party on a cliffhanger.
In terms of hours, does it play like a scenario? I might consider running this for a live group since they're about halfway through Menace.

Is each chapter of the adventure book equal to a regular scenario? Might decide to run this for my new gaming group, assuming it lasts that long. We pretty much did most of the 1st level of the beginner box in about 3 hours... we ran out of time before the final combat of the first level (better to end the session there than midway through combat)...

Beggar So will pretty much do the same every turn. Unless Dennis comes down to us, there's nothing he can really do. With a high resistance to physical, a shuriken needs to crit to do 1-2 points of damage..

Ref:1d20 + 11 ⇒ (16) + 11 = 27
Beggar So breaks free of the sticky tongue. Grimacing with disgust at mimic spit on his clothes, he steps away. He focuses for an instant and heals himself before bashing the mimic on the head twice more.
