Ok, first. I totally hosed the first adventure. I split up a couple crew members, Scourage and a couple stooges. They got bamboozled, saw it coming, but not until too late and didn't want to seem like I was cheating. Regardless, most of the party got trapped below deck but finally top deck where they finished off Plugg and pleebs. Once pc death. more with some spoilage: I didn't know how to handle the captain. The party thinks they're in the clear so I could pull out the captain and see what happens. They probably think he's tough but able to be defeated. I figured I could bring him back after he escaped using one of the smaller boats. Thoughts?
Now I'd say they're short on crew and have not made it to the Man's Promise. As the party defeated the baddies, a storm was a brew'in. My thoughts were to run aground and have them go into Riptide Cove. Another thing I considered was taking them into Kingmaker. Abandoned somewhere and they meet a party exploring the Stolen Lands and the leader dies making the pc's in charge of the expedition. Just a thought. My concern is the party wanting to just say "well, i was here against my will and now it's time to go home" and call it a day. I thought I'd bring the hammer down, but I seriously messed up. Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.
Interesting post. Getting in late, nonetheless. I have never really cared about a person's sexual preference. I'm not threatened by it, don't worry about getting gay germs, etc. I joke. Gay germs...heheh. I laugh at the ignorant's expense. I have also not experienced what homosexuals may have experienced in life. I find gaming to be an enjoyable venture. It allows me to escape a lot of things that come with the crapola that is typically found in 'real life'. Crapola like politics, religion, etc. Sure, we have these things 'in game', but I don't see them in the same light. Man, if I do, it's time to get that pool-side room at the local mental health institute. You see what I'm getting at. So, whether homosexuality needs to be a part of the game...well, it doesn't really matter to me. There are plenty of indie games that tackle hard core, real life, controversial issues, and they sure don't appeal to me and my desire to game/escape. Having said all this, I might actually throw in a male diva that tends to fawn all over my male-dominated adventuring party in the next adventure. HAY! *snap* That would be high larious. |
