My wife and I went on a cruise not so long ago. As we left port, little campaign arcs started streaking through my brain. Most of the trip to ruins and unknown lagoons made me positively ready to get home and start a new campaign with Pirates and ancient ruins off the coasts and so on. But while we were on this fantastic ship my wife had an idea; "Hey why doesn't someone run a D&D cruise?" I thought it was wonderful. It wouldn't really be that difficult. Just put it together like you would any other Con. We started talking and both laughed as we thought of all the Pirate Ninja adventures everyone would have.
As we pulled into our final port and disembarked we brought the idea home to our playing group. Everyone of them loved the idea. We actually plan on going in a few years and doing a small type thing on our own.
I just wanted to see what everyone else thought, and before someone says about price it is actually pretty reasonable because three full meals are included plus a room.
Well as much as I love the game - and would be willing to paly in the evenings - most nights.
I would want time to see the lagoons and ruins
I would want to take my wife dancing
How do you propose to balance the competing holiday needs?
I think it needs to be a key part of table composition - some sort of questionaire.
But skeet shooting dragons instead of clays could be cool
Archery practice
Longsword class instead of arobics
Great idea!
Definitely have the day split - evenings for gaming, days for either RPG-themed classes & activities or a "free time."
Activities could be horseback riding (because everyone should at least once in your life have an appreciation for those magnificent animals), fencing/swordfighting classes, archery, brewing/crafting classes.
It'd be like an SCA event, without all the drama and politics. :)
hehe late nights for gaming maybe; days are a waste; would rather game during the day; evening and nights are made for grilling, drinking and general carousing and telling outragous stories hehe. Morning are for looking for new places and checking out the native area in my book.
