Interest Check
Hey team, it’s been two weeks since our leader took his leave of absence. We all wish him well, I know.
It’s possible Archon will return but, in the meantime, would there be any interest in me GMing a mini-session (2-3 days in game time) that brings the team together as a group, in advance of the events of In Thy Blood?
I imagine a session that expands on where we left off in the PMs, covering the journey from the Helvetic tunnel, to Bergamo and onward, up until the moment the group arrives at Lucatore where In Thy Blood begins. Some chit-chat on the road to get to know each other, a couple days in Bergamo for shopping, entertainment and/or intrigue, then the walk to Lucatore. Some chance for social and bargaining rolls and maybe a small combat encounter at some point, but the main focus is to establish histories and help the group gel. The real action starts when we get to Lucatore.
This in no way is meant to step on Archon’s toes or supersede his game. Just to get the ball rolling and take a bit of work off his shoulders since it’s always easier to run a game with a party/players that are already working well together.
Since it’s just a prelude, we can stop it at anytime if Archon returns and fast forward to Lucatore; “and the evening ended well and the group traveled onward.” GM handwaving and done. Curtains up on the main event.
Let me know your thoughts.
