Well, I missed last week. Not intentional. Of course it never is. The first of the week was lost to work, the rest of the week lost to finishing my prep for the Halloween D&D game.
It went well, aside from not finishing the module. It was a lot of fun, and the players were into it enough to want a second game session.
The module, for anybody who may be interested, is the "The Skinsaw Murders" by Paizo Publishing. It's a fantastic second installment to a very cool Adventure Path called "Rise of the Runelords."
I have altered the adventure a bit. I'm only using about the first half of the adventure (or really 2/3rds) which leads the PC's to and through a haunted mansion. The idea behind this one shot is that a worshiper of Hastur is using the Yellow Sign to try and manifest an avatar of Hastur in Sandpoint.
The players have no idea who the murderer is, what the strange symbol being carved in the victims chest is, or what it is all leading too. I've changed who the murderer is for this game, simply so it ties into the history better (and doesn't lead them to future installments of the AP.)
The players have embraced their pre-gens (all from various Adventure Paths) and it has made the game incredibly enjoyable. It gives me hope for running an actual AP for this group sometime in the near future.
I'll post on the final results once we've had a chance to finish the rest of the adventure, which won't be for a few weeks.
Till then, see you soon.
