...after a long haul we started part 6 last night...
Only the second part 6 of an AP I have reached
What was the other one?
I gmed kingmaker
They lost in book 6 and N.won!!
Gutsy move! (or are you a "roll in the open and let the chips fall where they may" kinda GM)
How did you like Serpent's Skull? What were the highlights and low points? How does it compare to Kingmaker? Are you excited about part 6?
I am a player in skull
I have struggled with it
The GM was somewhat inflexible so despite all our efforts the factions were ever present, we couldn't ditch some of the npcs, stuff happened cos it was in the mod no matter how unlikely, and counter to what we wished.
Mod 1 and 2 took too long to play. Way too much dice rolling in mod 1 especially. Couldn't seem to get pace into the game. I also grew to dislike my witch PC so I let her die early in mod 3. That mod was ok but 4 I didn't enjoy much and even missed a few sessions so I didn't affect other players. Enjoyed the end of mod 4 and mod 5 has been the best of the bunch for me. I felt more in charge of our own destiny. Mod 6 is good thus far.
Just began final assault. No rest till the task is done
Level 16 battle Oracle looking forward to casting divine vessel for the first time!!
The hint from the GM is that Tuesday's game is the BBEG showdown!! We have thus far explored/dashed through the sanctum, saving resources and time, so haven't even stopped from even a slight rest....we have dropped stuff in pits, sent them into maze spells, other planes etc to avoid prolonged fights!
And done......a few people got to cast 9th level spells
Ending was anti climatic.....not sure if that was down to GM, mod or combo of the two
The general consensus on here is that the AP sags in the middle and your account doesn't seem to contradict that.
In summary
5>>3>6>1>>2>>4
Interesting. Thanks!
