Keep on the Borderlands Battle Report Session #3

Link to previous post

Keep on the borderlands continues! We've now played for three sessions of Old School Essentials & Keep on the Borderlands, and I reckon I'll run at least 3 more before considering changing up the rules to a new system. (ICRPG is very appealing right now).

Good session all up, click for the details.

Today we had some new players, a Thief, an Assassin and another Elf. They rolled terrible on their hit points and it was a miracle they didn't die.

They journeyed toward the forests in the north, encountering a mad old man and his pet mountain lion. One of the NPCs was killed, as well as a player character.

I increased the rewards substantially from what was written in the module, but players are leveling up very slowly.

I think I'm beginning to get tired of the incremental XP present in older editions like B/X and AD&D. It's a big hassle to calculate how much XP the players get when it won't actually result in them levelling up. Games like Maze Rats and Deathbringer have solved this by having all XP be in single digits. ICRPG also just allows the GM to simply grant additional abilities at their whim.

These systems look really appealing, so I'm unsure if OSE will continue beyond 6 sessions.

Players weren't really prepared for the fight with the Old Man & his pet mountain lion. One player did attempt a backstab, but it didn't hit. The assassin didn't get a chance to assassinate either. (not sure if that works as a ranged attack).

The second combat encounter, the players fought a werewolf, I was convinced they would all die, but I got them to team up with a werewolf hunter, prep some ammunition, and they seemed to go along with the Werewolf hunter's plan to ambush the werewolf.

They did extremely well in this encounter, but it almost felt too easy, and most of the planning was done by the Werewolf hunter character which I was controlling. At least, that's how I remember it.

Players are still having fun and it seemed to fine for one of the players who had never played before.

It's made me realize that imperfect is perfectly comfortable to me. Whether it's a city or my apartment, I feel most at home when things are somewhat flawed.

Me: Oh, hey, y'know what'd be a cute crackship? Anders x Keeper Of the Bell. Especially since some people thought that KOTB was going to be revealed to be Hilda's dad. But, I won't say anything, because maybe they're related or something.

The last scene: *Anders bumps into KOTB and they both react as if they're strangers*

Me: Okay, fuck that! Good crackship now!

Darren Criss on TODAY with Hoda & Jenna - Up next & ending of the interview (October 29th, 2024)

Minyvonne Burke at NBC News:

Craig Melvin will replace Hoda Kotb after the beloved co-anchor announced in September that she was leaving “TODAY” after nearly two decades. Melvin, a news anchor of “TODAY” and a co-host of the 3rd hour of “TODAY,” made the announcement on the show Thursday morning. He will co-anchor alongside Savannah Guthrie for the 7 and 8 a.m. hours beginning Jan. 13.

“I am beyond excited and grateful,” an emotional Melvin said. “I’ve enjoyed just a lifetime of blessings and this is the latest in a long line of blessings.” Kotb said he was “literally made for this job.” “You have all the things this job needs,” she said. “You are the right person for it.” Kotb will remain as co-anchor until Jan. 10, calling it a "party day." She said she made the decision to step down after she turned 60 in August. “I realized that it was time for me to turn the page at 60 and to try something new,” she told her fellow hosts in September as she fought back tears. Kotb has co-anchored the show with Savannah Guthrie since early 2018, becoming the first all-female anchor team. Guthrie told Kotb that while she is “irreplaceable in our hearts,” she was excited about Melvin’s new role and called him “talented, wonderful, hard-working, most-worthy.”

Craig Melvin named Hoda Kotb’s replacement on NBC’s Today.
