I've used it many times before to good effect, and it seemed to help bring folks together as a group and help players get used to the rules.<br /><br />With the last run, the caravan ended, though not before running into the world's worst bandits. Ugh, those guys all went down like complete chumps. The Screamtoads had them kind of freaked though.<br /><br />So, that was a good thing... =)GopherDavehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07205502194332440070noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5795783517175604986.post-22617142544434647972013-11-02T12:21:14.520-05:002013-11-02T12:21:14.520-05:00There's nothing like a caravan run to get sta...There's nothing like a caravan run to get started. Giving them that "Oh crap!" moment with the spider was a good idea. I don't like to kill PCs, but I definitely don't baby them the way some DMs do. It's good to know that there are serious threats in the world you're playing in, and it doesn't have to be a dragon.<br />We just did a two-session mission to protect a bunch of citizens in a church from an invading force. I'm not a big fan of 4e, but it was a lot of fun. At one point, my dwarf ranger went into the catacombs by himself, so we did about 10 mins. of solo play. It was a good experience.Delfhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11998626000277368355noreply@blogger.com
