Anyone here play in the MMRPG?

I'd love to see that stuff! 8)

the events that took place in those Interactives were hard plot points on the campaign and they represent some missing stuff that might make some of the later episodes appear confusing. I'll see if I can find those...

Any news? 8)

I played the modules in Michigan and at GenCon. I used to play a LOT of Living Greyhawk too.

Apologies, I have not been able to resurrect these files from an old Hard Drive.

A few thoughts (while I'm thinking about it) that I recall. Not spoilers, but just things coming to mind...

- Dave was at the first Interactive (at MegaCon in Orlando).

- We had a King's Command Performance competition where different folks took time doing small bits and the winner was named Greatest Performer in Blackmoor and received an associated Certificate with some good benefits.

- There was a very large battle towards the end of the Interactive. The low/medium/high level groups were giving goals to accomplish. We did some really fun stuff. Siege weapons had effects across all three battlefields. What I'm trying to say here is that fireballs launch from the medium table could land on the low or high table if they missed. It made the whole experience extra terrifying.

- At the end, all of the participating players we permanently changed as a function of being at that place. (including a certificate to boot)

It was really big fun and it was nice to think back to that time.

The one fun thing that Dave said that's echoing back "Never Trust a Rabid Squirrel!"

Uther, Once and Always!

Hello again Dustin!

Thank you for sharing this with us!

It is always fascinating to hear about the work done during the d20 Blackmoor days and how the MMRPG was organized. It is especially cool to hear about Dave's involvement of course. "Never Trust a Rabid Squirrel!"? What was that about? 8)

I like this idea of the King's Command Performance. What sort of tasks did that involve?

There is something about all of this that reminds me a bit about the early Braunstein games, but I can't quite put my finger on it.

Anyway, thank you again for sharing!

This is very sad news, although not the end of all hopes....

This viewtopic.php?f=76&t=8800 is where I am right now with the MMRPG campaign.
Overall I am enjoying it more and more, although there are many adventures that I still have to run. In general I like how the setting has been generally treated with respect and love, although some adventures were quite classic and some other adventures added new themes and new tropes to the campaign, but always in a balanced and respectful way. For this reason I'm so keen to read more Blackmoor adventures written by some of the same authors.
There are various adventure arcs that are noteworthy, but overall I enjoyed the Redwood Scar, that is both classic and fresh, even if the Arc of Hadeen has a very compelling epic, but I haven't run enough of it to judge it properly, so far.
I have to say as well that I didn't run it using the rulesets for which it was originally written (D&D 3.5 and d20), as that rulesets are too crunchy for my limited capacities, so I used AFF2, that is faster and simpler for me and for the players. This way I focused more on the story and the background, avoiding some of the complexities of the rulesets.
