So my group just finished book 5, and I took a different path for the fate of Pitax. Taking a page from some group work we did in one of my classes, I created a serious of roles for each player to play in a negotiation. I have a seven player group (sigh), so I ended up creating five non-kingdom roles, one for each trade house and one for Grigori, who in my campaign ended up aligning with my PCs. That left one player, the ruler of the kingdom, to be the negotiator for their kingdom (one player was out that day).

Each group had different desires, and I gauged what their kingdom got as a result of the negotiations—both in how well they portrayed their side's wishes and the settlement they reached. If anyone is interested, I have put the position papers online.

The blog seems to be back up!

I've been running a KM game with 7 people…and it's my first time GMing. (It's been interesting to say the least. There are two animal companions and a bonded horse in the mix too.)

Definitely check out the community-made 6-player conversions—they'll help you get thinking about how you might want to make it happen. About halfway through the third book I decided to run them a level below baseline (i.e. they're going to fight the BBEG of book three at level 8, not level 9). It hasn't been a problem as of yet.

I get the impression from the dates that work was started, then stopped, then restarted on them, with the first two getting complete overhauls. So to say its been two and a half years with only two produced is a little unfair.

I only ask because they are so awesome! If I came off as pestering, I apologize. I hope you all have a successful and happy Coldtimes!

*Self-bump* I'm guessing there's no word, Liz or Crystal? (Probably super-busy this time of year anyway.)

I'll be the one to ask this time ;-)

Any word? My group is just about to start VV, and I was crossing my fingers that this might be done in time for me to use for the BBEG. If there's no word, no worries!

The numbers allow people to apply their own organization to their pawns, and the color of the number also allows you distinguish between multiple copies of the same critter on your table.

The colored number approach is interesting. I actually just used a metallic Sharpie to write numbers on my Beginner Box bases, which allowed me to multiple ones apart.
