They declined, instead hoping to track the Kobolds back to t...

GM’s Notes, 18 January 2015

by Thom

We’re finally getting this group blog going. Huzzah!

The time has come. All Experience Points are up to date, and the stat sheets are all updated. Most of the characters are closing in on third level, and the group is venturing away from the area of Frandor Keep for the first time.

Here’s how this works:

For each entry made in character, I will award an EP bonus of 25 points, the same amount that a session’s MVP receives.

Following each session, I will post a GM’s Report in a standardized format.

Date:

26 Barz’Tera – 02 Quay’Tera, 1308
