As of today, we finally finished Rise of the Runelords.

Only took us ten years!

(I can tell youe xactly, because when I started, I wrote up the first two book's worth on there very forums.)

The characters have remained the same (if two regulated to recurring gues stars). We've lost players (one permenantly) and gained players and we were interrupted for the first time in thirty years fore eighteen months by a global pandemic, but it's done!

Karzoug the Claimer, with a sad inevitability that I could see a mile off ended the same way almost all the boss monsters in the AP ended - the dwarf barbarian's right axe and then the dwarf barbarian's left axe meeting in the middle.

We obviously weren't playing it all that time, but in chunks. In practise, it took us about six months to get through each book. We did that last couple since we re-started since lockdown, so it's taken us a fair bit longer, but high level play in a high power environment (we finished at 18th level) will do that; especially with six PCs and the player shortage we've had where somtimes, we couldn't get enough of us to meet one week in four.

Next week, we start on the second part of Shackled City (with two new players, one of whom came along today and got handed the spare cleric semi-NPC, so what a way to be introduced to the group...!)

And because 2023 is fighting me every day, the satisfaction and excitement is now tempered by the news that the wargames club venue is really struggling to keep afloat (especially due to power running costs). Which would be something of a disaster, since it is so hard to find venues that aren't stupidly expensive these days. So now we have that hanging over our heads. (And it's not something we can do anything about, since they basically get the bulk of the money from hiring out to events, and stuff keeps getting cancelled.)

I could host the roleplaying group at my house every week, but that means that the table has to be cleared for every Monday, which equates to quite a bit of extra work and load on my part. But, y'know, kind of a complete excrementer for the rest of the wargames club on top.
