So long as we get Dark Sun Actual Plays, then we'll call it a deal.

Hey, look. Cody preserved a human life.

Back to New World campaign:

Does anyone have any favorite NPCs, sessions or moments from the campaign?


I'm still trying to decompress it all right now.
I'm from Alaska. About Fifty miles south of Ankorage there's a little fishing town, maybe you've heard of it, it's called fuck your momma.

My favorites are the ones I created, except I cannot post the creation notes on them because they have not be introduced yet.

Jack Morgan. Quintus the "fisherman". The guy who Dan has to pawn his mega-ship off onto who's name is currently slipping my mind.

And King Sea Moss, of course.

Lord Carrington was Dan's patsy.

Trust me, the resolution to the Carrington situation is fucking epic. It should pop up in a session or two.

Hmm, from the early days I'd say even something as simple as Locke's confrontation with the first thieves' guild member. It just set the tone for how the character would go, aswell as the players. Infact aside from the combat heavy end of the fsecond session, I recall it beign a great introduction.

The whole confrontation with Elric after the murder of the the innkeeper's wife (and the speech with the innkeeper afterwards, and the diplomacy with his wife).

The whole Goblin Hulk plan (including some evil double crossing and the introduction of King Balgrum)

The whole negotiation with the lizard men to stop them.

The epic ending of the thieves' guild I seem to recall was good.

The dinner party.

Gah, there's so many big and small moments, I can't remember a fraction of them! :( I only recall the older stuff a little better because I've listened to those a couple of times each.

The robot guy in the alternet plane was good he was all nuts cause he grew wings. Balgram the fat is still nuber 1 NPC in my book, along with King Seamoss.

I just like how all the interactions between the PCs and the excellently realized NPCs come to play out.

Pontifex is a really great big-bad-evil-guy/psychopathic-sadistic-hardcore badass. His introduction into the campaign, forcing a pickpocket to disembowel and hang himself, was incredibly cool. Not to mention his being present in or the catalyst for every scheme imaginable.

See, Pontifix's introduction, that's a fantastic scene - especialyl when everyone slowly realises how screwed they are! I knew I'd forget stuff.

The assault on the Goblin Hulk is still one of my favorites.  The planning session was gold.

Pontifex isn't evil, he's just misunderstood.
