It seems now that it wasnt in relation to Kill The Wizard, but the following Lair Assault (Temple of the Sky God) which will include flying mounts!

Had a great time playing this at Mondo Comico this afternoon, and technically survived as was still upright and alert at the end of the 20 rounds (though debatable how long for as the Drow Priestess had completed her ritual and opened her portal to the Demonweb Pits)

Looking foward to running it as DM on 23rd now at Tyrants in Leicester (and hopefully another couple of times before end of August)

Brief write up of both our sessions this week. Two very different groups and equally different approaches to the game.

Thank you for securing the playtest for the Tweetup and for putting so much time into running it and compiling feedback for WotC. Hopefully they appreciate the effort you went to.

Some interesting tips there – hope the guys at Mondo are taking note. Looking forward to playing this in Nottingham and then swapping sides and running it in Leicester

Comment on Encounters – A Session 0 Introduction by vobeskhan

Ran this for the two sessions last night after final tweaks to pc’s. Would have gone a lot better if I’d actually remembered to pack the right map (hangs head in shame) but improvised with the chapel map from the new encounters kit (adjacent to inn map) and played it as a ruined chapel enroute.

Session 1 was 4 pc’s so only used 4 drow and they made it look easy, though one severly wounded drow escaped to warn his comrades.

Session 2 was 7 pc’s so used 7 drow, but with abysmal dice rolls they also made light work, but a good introduction as one player was a new convert from older editions and must have enjoyed himself as he’s signed up for next week too.

Note to self – pack everything!!!!
