IronGiant's page

Hey.

I've been creating my own solo adventures in RPG's for... well decades I guess. Started with DnD and Traveller in the (late!) 70's. But they seldom would "stick". Well this one seems to have "stuck" and I'm going to see if I can actually finish it.

This particular story will bring 2 characters up to level 3. I hope to get them all the way to 20 at some point.

Just for fun, I played around with ChatGPT to help me write part of the story and come up with some of the challenges, but that isn't the main focus. Though, at some point, once I get ChatGPT to understand what I want, I will try and make an entire AP that way if possible...

Feedback is appreciated, thanks!

Moving this question from where it is currently buried, because it seems to me that it is kind of a big question on its own:

Question about Muminofrah's Amusement here

If I have a character that has won a scenario, can that character replay that scenario again or no?

The rules don't actually provide for replaying scenarios you won—only the ones you lose

But there have been other threads which talk about characters replaying scenarios they won, for example to get a new player up to speed with the group and help them out or if a character dies and needs to be replaced, or to get some better boons to help with a difficult scenario or just because you want to.

I'm pulling this question out so the rule can be clarified, it seems like a big rule to me...

Thanks...

So, I come here regularly and check this page:

Main PACG forum page

It seems to me, that if I go to that page, some threads show and others don't. My guess has been that the threads that show are one's with reply's that I haven't seen, so if there is nothing there, I just assumed there is no new content.

However, I did a search on a subject and found thread on this page that I haven't seen:

PACG rules page

And those threads don't show up as unread on the main page, so I have to click inside each subcategory.

I also just assumed (!) that there was no new content on the Homebrew page because no new threads showed up on the main page, but now I checked and there is a little content there, but few, if any responses, such as this guy:

Player posting up some new characters

...who put up a few notes with no feedback from anyone. Is it possible that something is broken here? Did something break with the new website redesign? How does this page work and why do I see some posts but not others?

If I saw no posts on the main page that would tell me that I have to check each page separately (not best but logically acceptable) but since I see some threads on the main page and not others that makes no sense to me.

Its all OK, I'm not complaining, just trying to understand and help the online community keep alive....

Lets please have a moment of silence for Seoni, who passed away last night in Rise of the Runelords.

*silence*

I've lost characters before and been through this and its triggered a spirited internal discussion. What to do? I've had her in the adventure with 6 characters (I play 2 groups of 3 concurrently) since the spring, now almost done with Adventure pack 4, but now she is "dead".

Sigh.

When Lini and Ezren died back in adventure 2, I "house ruled" that they didn't die, they just should lose something, blah, blah, blah. But that lasted about 10 minutes of it feeling "wrong" and they got put back in the box. I just know for myself, if I don't follow the rules closely, I lose the sense of accomplishment. I know others feel different, I wish I did too, but it loses something if they don't die and keep their skills.

So, for Lini and Ezren I had decided to start from the beginning again with a smaller group to get them up to the level of the other characters again, and then took the 6 characters together (almost) through Adventure 4.

Then, last night, tired, not paying attention, Seoni had only 4 cards left and met the Harpy monk, failed the WIS roll, then met her maker....

Since she is my favorite character by far, it kind of takes away my desire to play a little bit.... But going all the way back and removing all the cards and starting her from scratch by herself this time is... unappealing. Spent hours thinking about it and decided it this way:

Since I have S&S and never played it yet, I moved her there, shuffled in a couple of class decks, the add-on character deck and set up 3 groups of 3 (with the class decks, I figure I'm good here...) which will now start S&S together and I'll put aside RotR until Seoni has got herself back to the same level she had been at before her "death". At that point, she will leave S&S and head back to RotR...

So, she wasn't "killed", she was grievously wounded, but survived. After a period of recovery, she was called to an adventure on the high seas! But, she has never forgotten her wounds from the Harpy monks... She'll be back, revenge is sweet.....
