<p>I play with a friend, each of us using 3 characters, so we're able to play in a smaller space and don't have problems with the text size. I can see more bodies around the table would make it more difficult.</p>

<p>The hour hasn't been bad for us- I'll usually flip the new card and read the effect. Typically we can tell if it's something that will apply or not (Varian's probably not going to use that +2 on strength checks, but if it's Kyra's turn, we'll keep it in mind). Our issue has been remembering the Harrow effect. Lots of "Wait, that was a dex check, I should have rolled another d4."</p>

When I bought PACG, he was my first character. So with the new set, I decided to grab him again. He was a useful character, but also slow as my hand would get cluttered up with weapons. I didn't want to throw them away since I could recharge them in combat, but if I didn't find any monsters...</p>
<p>This new Valeros has a little wider skill use, gaining Fortitude in addition to Melee and Diplomacy.</p>
<p>For powers, RotR Valeros could add 1d4 to another character's combat check- useful if you were grouped up, but since I played in a team of 6 we were usually spread out. That ability now is recharging/reloading a weapon or armor, to add 1d4 to a local combat check. So Valeros can both cycle through his hand AND improve his combat check. Additionally, Valeros can recharge a weapon or armor from hand or discard at the end of each turn- so again, cycling through the cards instead of all the weapons just staying in your hand.</p>
<p>For the boons, armors have largely followed the Ultimate deck armors, where they're displayed instead of staying in your hand. The long sword, a staple of fighters, let's you reload for an additional d4 instead of discarding for the same.</p>
<p>I'm not totally sure, but I think the Finesse keyword has been altered. Previously, Finesse was a power a character would have, usually granting Melee of Dex+X when using a Finesse weapon. Instead, Finesse weapons look like they allow a character to fight with Strength, Melee, or Acrobatics- so Merisiel with Acrobatics can fight effectively with a Finesse weapon.</p>
<p>The core set covers the 12 iconic characters. Curse of the Crimson Throne adds four more: Hakon the skald, Kess the brawler, Quinn the investigator, and Varian the wizard. I've given these just a quick glance, but I'm looking forward to trying them out. I think skald is a combination bard/barbarian in the RPG, and aspects that we've seen in Amiri and Lem show up in Hakon. Kess gets no weapons, no spells, but can still make a decent combat roll. Varian, I'm very intrigued with- he's a wizard who's terrible at memorizing spells, so fails every Recharge roll, but gets to recharge a spell from his Discards each turn.</p>So, Valeros has always been my Pathfinder connection- I got to play him at GenCon when Pathfinder debuted.

<p>Right, I meant we had the 0-1 banes, then everything else that wasn't a higher level bane.</p>
<p>I'd missed the rule about not keeping cards higher than the current adventure #- it's never been an issue before. I think the only boon we gained higher than 1 was a level 3 blessing.</p>
<p>I guess, as Longshot points out, it may be to try out some of the higher level boons that the shortened campaign might not allow; without looking, I think Dragon's Demand is 3 adventures of 3 scenarios each.</p>
<p>Having looked in Crimson Throne now, the Vault there matches my expectation- all 0-1 cards to start.

Welp, I had a couple hours before my regular PACG session (another trip through Skull & Shackles, using the Ultimate decks), so I started sleeving. Finished just in time... or so I thought.</p>
<p>Meeting with my friend, I suggested we put our current campaign on hold and try this out. I chose Valeros and Seoni, he went with Mersiel and Lini (there's a quick-start in the box, sealed separate from the rest of cards, but we're of the jump in the deep end mindset). I've been following the previews and skimmed the rules, so I realized I needed to watch my preconceptions. There's a lot that looks like the game I've been playing, but a little different.</p>
<p>One change I appreciated was that so many boons had wider applications. The Sleep spell was one I never cared for, preferring to remove a monster to just evading. Now, Sleep can aid a check on a monster or ally.</p>
<p>Various banes have also changed. Ambush now has the Trigger keyword, with the result being it's easier if examined (you knew it was coming). The Bandit can now be bought off with a boon.</p>
<p>The storybanes and proxies are very nice- something I liked the sound of, but, when putting cards away and there's just a single Bandit and just a single Ancient Skeleton- I appreciate the more efficient use of cards.</p>
<p>One change that almost tripped me up- I was expecting that the Vault of available cards was going to be the level 0 and level 1 cards. I was half right- the banes were pulled from 0 and 1, but the Dragon's Demand set up said to use ALL the rest of the core cards. So, more hurried sleeving. But leave out the Loot cards, right? Nope (although I was in a hurry and might have misread), it looked like those got shuffled right into their categories, to be pulled out later on.</p>
<p>We made it through the first two scenarios, mostly successful (first scenario almost ran out of time, but we pulled it out). I noticed some playstyle changes when we couldn't just pile blessings on a check. The blessings were still getting used, but we were watching for other ways to assist.</p>
<p>I think our only real mistake was when we encountered a card that had us summon a Random Undead Story Bane. I recalled seeing a chart in a preview, but could not find it in the Rules or Story book. I thought maybe it was left out, maybe things had changed since the preview was written- but no, it's just on the back of the Wildcard (maybe the only non-character card that is double sided).</p>
<p>My only complaint, I did like the plastic insets of the previous sets. I knew where everything went. The new box has foam blocks and dividers, which work, but it's a little annoying flopping dividers back and forth to access card groups. So, not a big deal, just different from what I've grown used to.</p>
<p>Overall, I'm happy with the way the game has been updated. I haven't opened Crimson Throne yet, but think it will be equally good.</p>Checked for mail today, and there was a box from Paizo on my step.

The frost spear giving +1d4 and cold automatically, but you can turn those off, instead of all the elemental weapons that required a discard to invoke the trait. Harsk being able to support anyone anywhere or himself (I remember some RotRL scenarios where we ended up clustered in one spot and Harsk couldn't help- though I was Valeros in a party of 6, so that was one of the few times where I could help out). I'm hoping the many Display this Armor cards from the Ultimate sets were a preview.</p>
<p>It can be fun to crush an encounter. I remember when support from my group let me roll more dice against Black Fang than it's difficulty. Playing Zova in Skull & Shackles, she's crushing Survival checks. Lini was such a powerful character in Runelords because she could add 1d4+4 to all of her checks. But it also takes away some of the tension (Not completely- we've had a few times where "I can only fail on all 1s" and 3 dice come back as 1).</p>

<p>Armor, it feels like you should use something you're proficient in- but then in Skull & Shackles, there was a really nice heavy armor loot card. Sure, give it to the magus, as long as he doesn't use the banish power he's fine. My non-proficient druid in RotRL is wearing basic heavy armor- if I have to banish, no big whoop.</p>
<p>Cards that you banish for their power- I get in the same mindset I'll have in JRPGs with rare items. "I could use this now, but what if I need it later? Better hold on to it."

Armor, it feels like you should use something you're proficient in- but then in Skull & Shackles, there was a really nice heavy armor loot card. Sure, give it to the magus, as long as he doesn't use the banish power he's fine. My non-proficient druid in RotRL is wearing basic heavy armor- if I have to banish, no big whoop.

Your Ship: Abrogail's Fury</p>No deaths in our journey, though various scenarios required a second try, including the final scenario (which ran down to the very last blessing deck, used to ensure the Hurricane King was put down).
Seltyiel served as our heavy, taking down villains (and so, so many sharks at Shark Island). Jirelle did well in survival and fortitude checks. Merisiel was often a lone agent, often focused on barrier heavy areas. Lem was the utility player, providing healing and supporting with his power.

Flubbed my Fiendish Tree kill on the first one, so it went back into the deck and we ended up having to deal with it twice. Encountering a Sloth Demon beforehand was fine for Adowyn, she can just recharge a card, but when Kyra came over that was a big expenditure of her resources. Thankfully, she had a shield to deal with the combat damage, but you still gotta use two spells to deal with the Sloth Demon and the Fiendish Tree.
<p>Then, as it turns out, the villain was in that location. And what's the villain do? Oh, is it summon a Sloth Demon? So now Kyra has to encounter Sloth Demon > Sloth Demon > Villain. Each of the Sloth Demons forcing her to discard a card, meaning she needs a perfect hand of 2 sacrificial cards and 3 spells to deal with the encounters (or 1 weapon and 2 spells, but pffft). Suffice to say, she lost.</p>
<p>But there's only one other location open, we can still try!</p>
<p>Villain gets shuffled back into same location, Kyra encounters her again, same plays out, game over. D: D: D: D:</p>
<p>I'm not gonna cry too much, I think the onslaught of bad luck was precipitated by Kyra drawing the Demonbane Light Crossbrow when she closed the Shrine of Imomomedar. Good trade for a failed scenario, I'd say (or Adowyn would, anyway). </blockquote><p>Ouch. I've got Seelah and Kyra paired up, and I'm loving Kyra's passive heal, when I can use it. My friend has Bal and Imrijka.
<p>Which reminds me of another bad result. Imrijka was in the Wounded Lands, where you can fight a monster instead of the regular check to acquire a boon. First exploration, finds scale armor, decides to fight the monster to trigger his free explore chance. He draws a Mongrel Ranger, which does 1d4-1 damage before combat... and rolls a 4. He does win the fight, then rolls a 1 for his chance to explore.</p>
<p>It's going to be a long time out before my full group gets to Wrath (in deck 4 on Runelords, and planning on S&S after). That's going to be Alain, Crowe, Shardra, Enora, Adowyn, and I'm not sure who are sixth will be.
