Dear Big Meet players,
Of late I have been thinking of dropping The Hollow's Chronicles in favour of truly one-shot D&D adventures using the Pathfinder system. This for two reasons, the first is one of availability both of the "core players" and that of the GM. The second reason is the mini-campaign effect in a gaming system (D&D 3.5) that is unlikely to attract new players. It used to work well when the afternoon game was Grendon and I collected Grendon 4e players, who happened to be former D&D 3.5 players, for the evening session.
The Hollow's Chronicles
Dear Big Meet players,
Of late I have been thinking of dropping The Hollow's Chronicles in favour of truly one-shot D&D adventures using the Pathfinder system. This for two reasons, the first is one of availability both of the "core players" and that of the GM. The second reason is the mini-campaign effect in a gaming system (D&D 3.5) that is unlikely to attract new players. It used to work well when the afternoon game was Grendon and I collected Grendon 4e players, who happened to be former D&D 3.5 players, for the evening session.
As for my availability, I am enjoying playing in 7th Sea Adventures and tend to cancel The Hollow's Chronicles in order to extend play on the afternoon game.
So for the Evening Session I would swap to short D&D games with pre-gens only; maybe as soon as the February Big Meet.
D&D 3.5 was a great edition but I guess it is time for it to rest in peace and let D&D Pathfinder take over, at least in my games.
The use of pre-generated PRPG characters of course allows people who know D&D 3.5 to join a game very easily.
The Hollow's Chronicles could be revived as a low-level campaign at Vague Connections at some point in the distant future.
Any comments from players or would-be players?
