Character Pool Volume II, episode 2: Traps and Treachery

Today was the GM-switching campaign again at Tom's house, and Eric finished the second half of his adventure. Then we argued about whether or not to use 3.5, and decided that people could make lists of the things that they really hated about 3.5, and lists of the things they really liked, and see which would make a smaller house-rules list, instead of trying to 'take chapter A from 3.0, and chapter B from 3.5' which would be kind of complicated and unsatisfying. So... we'll see.

Anyway, the game itself went reasonably well. I was not the prettiest, but I got a solo kill on the boss. Druids rock!

( game summary )

In two weeks, Tom's going to run the next session of this campaign, starting with the party in the wilderness. We should be using 3.6 by then. It's a good thing I made 4th, so that I can keep my dire weasel. }:P Although a riding dog is a much better companion under 3.5 rules -- it gets enough of a boost from the '3rd level' bonuses to push it past the dire weasel in armor class and hit points, and the weasel's CON drain attack was halved and isn't very useful now.

Oh, also...

After the game at Tom's house, Ed offered to fly us up to Orcus Island for dinner, but no one wanted to go to all that trouble (driving up to the airport, then flying there and back...). I was tempted, but not hungry.

So instead we sat around and chatted while Tom's wife fired up the barbecue, talking about D+D and sex and relationships and crap, until the food was ready, and I left.

When I got home, I discovered that the management had once again repaired the lock on the outer door to the apartment building... someone keeps jamming pennies and wood chips and the like in the lock to keep it open. I'm not sure whether to be worried... the lock *is* annoying to bypass, but the people hanging around in the parking lot are often fairly seedy, so I'm not sure if it was some kid without his own keys or a thief planning to sweep for packages.

*Sigh.*
