Dungeon Master:
Where do we want to go after this room? I'm aware that there's one passage off of the main room which hasn't been followed, but I'm running out of inspiration for this area. There's still a bit of looting to do, and I haven't distributed XP in a while, but it's mostly mop-up work.
Loot and XP are what I live for in OSR games! So handwave if you'd like, I know what it's like to hit the wall sometimes as a DM, but don't skimp on the lucre!
DM:
Do you guys want to switch this to an underdark campaign, following the narrow tunnels out of the city? Do you want to leave the city/pyramid and travel elsewhere? I've got a lot of modules that I could drop in. Do we want to wrap things up and end here?
I get the feeling you're a little burned out of this adventure, maybe that's not the case, but it has been going on for a long time. It's been awesome! Personally, I'd like to continue this game, but I understand if the energy just isn't there anymore. I thought there was at least two levels below this one, where Hamburg was found and where Albricht died. I wouldn't mind exploring those, as well as eventually finding our way out of the underground city and back to whatever civilization remains above. If that means a trek through the underdark, that'd be fun too. If you wanted to use that as a montage of sorts to get us to one of the modules you mention, that'd be fine too. I would like to play at higher character levels at some point. I've had dozens and dozens of low-level characters over the decades, but few at 5th or higher. I was bummed when Albricht died, though it was pretty awesome, because he was so close to leveling up. Anyway, I'm up for whatever.
DM:
Would one of you like to take over and run a new adventure? Since Vsaati's player just left, I could take the character over, in that event.
I get it. The lament of the perpetual DM who wishes to play. I've kind of been itching to start DM'ing on RPOL again, all of my games have been on Hiatus for a few years, though one may be starting back up soon. I'd be willing to take the reins here for a while to take the story in a different direction.
But honestly, this has been one of my all-time favorites on RPOL, and you've been a great and consistent DM for which you should be proud. This has been a long running game, and with a few exceptions, like multiple iterations of Vsaati for example, its been a loyal core of players as well. So for me, I'm happy to keep on going as we have been, or if some change is needed I'm good with that as well.
