There’s a 5% chance of an encounter, page 75,
occurring each time the PCs enter a hex, and a 15% chance
per day or night spent exploring or camping. Take care not
to overwhelm the PCs with encounters it’s usually good to
limit wandering monster encounters to once per day.

salow: yay for playing.  yay yay yay.  yay.  yay yay.  yay.  got some more of the story.  actual completed quest: getting the ring.  like the sandboxiness.  laundry list of things to do.  stag lord long term.  zombie.  bad: jinxie going down in cave but unavoidable.  ugly to jinxy.  the whole game.

PCs 1 day into exploring forest area with radishes

Tim: good: you rock at playing NPC kobolds.  pleased at the progression.  Explored 1.5 hexes AFTER byron arrived.  twisted our arms to buy horses.  GM helping players along goodness.  rolling perception checks so you don't miss out on storyline.  bad: getting a little too wound up in tiny details?   finding out the difference between marsupial and rodent?  slowed down game.  no bads directly game wise.  Ugly: to Jinxy for freaking out over Wherewolf  (TY, salow for quest log)

Byron: good: yay for playing in spite of having to work.  I find the amount of flavor and story is intriguing, unexpected.  bad: latching down on finer details.  Let's explore the 1 hex by foot.  Ugly: Gaijin for converting people instead of killing.

Salow: good: storyline definitely taking off.  quest log helps keep track.  bad: semantics of some stuff.  who cares?  Ugly: Tread for picking up the wolf by the scruff of the neck.

For next time:  Calendar.  LOOT list!

Tim ugly to Jinxy for not Meta disrupt undead.  Good: Yay for finally fighting and defeating the stag lord.  We have freed ourselves!  Pressure off the PC's shoulders.  Yay Cyrus!  Prepping his charsheet.  Printing the map.  No bads.  Yay for out/in for my chars.  I like the cards.

Salow ugly to Tim for playing 3 chars.  Good I concur with Tim.

Cyrus: good I missed RP.  Pathfinder seemed relatively simple.  Walking into a map and beating the crap outta stuff.  Bad: I felt the zombie minefield was cheap/weird.  Ugly to Salow for intimidating the stag lord.

Byron: Yay cyrus playing!  Taking on the Stag Lord.  Definately a challenge.  Bad rules knowledge.  Ugly to Cyrus BUT it's gunna go to Tim for RPing and creative use of Command.

GM: Cudos to Cyrus for pointing out missing bandits.  Tim for Shelly's Dune voice.  Salow for tanking Stag Lord.

Tim ugly for Gaijin being psychic dropping the bomb about his heritage.  Bad that Byron is missing out on a lot.  Suggestion: make sure you get with Byron about if he'll switch out Jinxy.  Good moving things along.  Getting us to end of module 1 so we can get started on chatting about kingdom.  We leveled.  (You found an excuse)  Honorable mention to how much effort you put into gaming today.  (Completely forgot about posting for RPOL Sat. )

23rd.  4 days later, Audrey Windsong (CG elf archer fighter/sorc) and Jinxy both arrive at Oleg's.

6 months into kingdom building.

Salow good: yay to finally getting into kingdom building thing.  always good to just get together.  bad: rules familiarity.  goodbad slow going getting into the kingdom making process.  ugly to byron for introducing his new character.

tim good jumping into kingdom building.  as usual i get to see 1st hand how much effort he puts into prep.  thanks to host for food.  bad you mentioned you were going to try and squeeze in combat.  we didn't have time for capturing the criminal into an encounter.  we didn't roleplay.  but this is a learning experience.  ugly to byron for more than just introing the new char.  cudos for coming in spite of work and illness.

byron good it's nice to get into the actual building of the cities and what not.  I like stuff like this.  Wunna play sim city.  Wunna run this campeign.  bad: if you're going to alter some rules be careful as to what other rules tie into it.

decided to leave in the deposit/ withdraw rules.

good: instinctive kingdom builders
