[Actual Play] Defending the West

[flatscan]

I write the Adventure Log and the players can write character journals for Fate Points. If they write a character journal for every session in an adventure I award a 10% XP bump. Generally only Cuana's player writes anything.

Excellent on getting Across the Thunder River. That book is one of my absolute favorites in the series! The session yesterday was a mix of debauchery, demon pacts, and betrayal. It was one of those sessions that will be long remembered at my gaming table.

So whats up with the game? Long tme no updates.

 

[flatscan]

Yeah, I'm about halfway through an adventure log from 4 sessions ago. It's a time-consuming hobby, creative writing, and I'm woefully behind.

 

[zozotroll]

I cant really complain, as you have sen no such log from me.

 

[flatscan]

Alright, just for you Zozo, I spent a few hours last night and this morning finishing up Chapter 10 Session 7. Lot of action in this one as the PCs brave deeper into the Pictish Wilderness. Enjoy.

 

[zozotroll]

Greatly appreciated. Good story still.

Now if I could just convince my players that pictland would be a great place to visit.

Now if I could just convince my players that pictland would be a great place to visit.

Just do what REH did, and start the PCs there at the beginning of an adventure. Part of some of the best advice for running this game is in the back of the Campaigns chapter. We never learned how Conan got from one place to another in between stories, it just happened in the downtime. :wink:

Chapter 10 Session 8 is now posted.

 

[zozotroll]

I certainly hope they staked the noble and the witch over a couple of ant hills. Very happy to see them finaly get theirs.

Thanks for the update.

 

[flatscan]

Oh don't worry. Arisawe and Sir Gasparus both get theirs. Details in the next session log. :wink:

 

[zozotroll]

Yes, I sort of jumped ahead reading the Cimmerians log. I didnt realize he was ahead of you. But he didnt give details.

 

[flatscan]

Chapter 10 Session 9 and Chapter 10 Session 10 are now up.

 

[Jotenbjorn]

Man, how do you do the pictures with the text?

 

[flatscan]

I have the images hosted on photobucket. Then I just include an HTML image tag and add style="float: right" or style="float: left"

 

[Jotenbjorn]

Sweet, thanks.

 

[flatscan]

Well, better late than never. Chapter 10 Session 11, the climactic conclusion to this awesome adventure is posted!

 

[zozotroll]

Very cool. So are you going to continue with another Arc or is that it for this group?

 

[flatscan]

Oh, we're still going! I'm currently writing up the log for the first session in the latest adventure. The PCs take on aliases and become Barachan pirates. Fair thee warned, be thee, says I. Yaaargh!

I've made it a new year's resolution to catch up with writing the sessions. All told I've written 27 adventure logs that average 2,000+ words. I'm currently 5 logs behind but I hope to cut that down to 3 by next game. Stay tuned.
