So, I launched our RotRL game last night, and it went smashingly well.
My three players all seemed to enjoy it, and we gamed for roughly 3 hours (minus some toddler interruptions) and they made it through all of Burnt Offerings part 1 and some of part 2 (misc bits of the Local Heroes stuff.)
Funny thing is, my wife is playing her rogue as a very Robin Hood-esque character. When she first saw Aldern Foxglove, hiding behind barrels while his hunting hound died, she figured he was a rotten egg, so she robbed him when he schmoozed on the party after his rescue.
Awesome, right? She ended up anonymously leaving some of the gold she robbed with a needy family (the family that will, soon, have a goblin in the closet ;D ).
So, I haven't read Skinsaw Murders, but I'm vaguely familiar with the plot. Any tips or advice on how to play this into Aldern's character and the next time they run into him, even in Burnt Offerings?
Or should I just play it off as "Oh, I was robbed, so I can't reward you as richly as hoped."
Looking for some cool ways to hook that action back into the game, as it's the kind of roleplaying I want to encourage!
(In other news, I also had a shortage of magical items in Sandpoint, so the wand of CLW they wanted to buy was completely absent. Had a great RP bit from another player interacting with Ameiko, where I integrated the Lonjiku confrontation, and Ameiko ended up giving the party a wand of CLW.)
