Dragonmeet...

It's over and I survived - both sessions went pretty well, although (due to a cockup with the signup sheets) I only had two players for the second. The Tooth and Claw materials I had on display seemed to be widely admired, especially the foldout dragons and the ship - I've been encouraged to continue with that and turn it into a more 3D model, and think I will do so.

Since I finished the second game a little earlier than expected I went along to a couple of panels and found myself dragged onto the second, on independent games publishers. I hope I didn't say anything too stupid, but I was so tired at that point that I couldn't tell.

I can't really say too much about the adventures without giving too much away, but basically the players found some interesting answers to the problems I gave them, e.g. getting rid of some of the pirates by dropping anvils onto their boats from a great height. They also let me get away (at least three times) with the "the villain has obviously been killed" shtick. Trust me on this, with the villain I was using you wanted to see the beheaded corpse. And then possibly double check that another body hadn't been substituted...

Tomorrow I shall chill out a bit, then start house-cleaning for a visit by several friends which (like an idiot) I scheduled for next weekend. Fun fun fun...

Later Sheila Thomas, one of my players, sent me this:

She very kindly avoided taking a picture of my secret weapon, the rather large object I introduced as a surprise towards the end of the first adventure.

Hope you feel better soon.

Your players let you get away with "the villain has obviously been killed" three times?!?

Those aren't paranoid enough to be roleplayers. You must have got someone else by mistake.

Oh, I'm pretty sure they knew what I was up to, they were just having fun defeating her again.
