Haven't been posting; distracted by the real world, and not DMing lately. Our group takes turns at the helm, allowing those who want to DM to do so, and ea DM has their own campaign world, so I've been kinda lax with developing Gnarth and have just been enjoying playing my favorite character in my buddy's game.*
Thinking I'm still going to post "This Week's Game" anyhow, and blog about the events from a Player's point of view. The last session involved climbing the "Endless Stair" from the module of the same name, heavily modified from the original version, no doubt, as our current DM is notorious for altering published adventures to the point that the original is barely recognizable, yet is immediately recognizable as "Brett's Game"! You have taught me well, my master!
Spent the entire session climbing a spiral staircase into the sky, trying to avoid/overcome traps, posted guardians, and Summoned beasties, in an attempt to reach a "planar nexus" which would allow us access to the Abyss. I could spend a few pages detailing our efforts... but I think that the best part of This Week's Game was the Staircase itself! Knowing that we could slip or be tossed off of the stairs to fall hundreds of feet to our deaths at any time was a real Rush! Made us really Think, and Discuss, and Argue a bit, too! None of this "Screw it, let's just charge 'em!" mentality. It was a genuine Thinking Player's session, and a lot of fun, and all because of a simple change of venue from the norm.
*Aesson the Thief is now 14th (holy crap!) level... I like to incl a "starting date" for my PCs on the Char Sheet. At the top of Aesson's sheet it says "Summer '86." That's Nineteen Eighty Six, kids. ...Wow. Happy 25th anniversary Aesson! 'Bout time you settled down with a Guild of your very own, old friend!
