Hey all. So I'm writing a google + mixtape post commemorating some of the great, long-running campaign on G+. Hill Cantons is at the top of my list. I'm collecting reflections and reminiscences from folks, game ephemera, session write ups and the like. I've followed Chris' blog from the beginning, and played with y'all in a late Hill Cantons phase for about 6 months, and read the Hydra Cooperative products. So I know a lot. But I still need your help to do this right. This is kind of hard one, because I know how much this game means to everyone who plays in, and how long it's been going. But I'm going to ask you try to say something about what this game has meant to you. Chris Kutalik here are some questions for you as the DM, feel free to answer none, some, or all, or totally different questions that you think of: (1) What were you trying to do with the campaign when you started it? What were your aspirations? (2) It's been running so incredibly long (1...
Man, I was gonna be able to make that one.
ReplyDeleteThat's fine by me. I'm still dealing with stuff, so I don't have to worry about missing another session or being-there-but-not-really.
ReplyDeleteokay

ReplyDeleteIf there is downtime activity y'all want to get done on break, let me know (identifying magic items and canal I have down).
ReplyDeleteChris Kutalik I've been meaning to ask you a question about spell research, suppose this would be a good time.
ReplyDeleteBasically: can I get significant bonuses from using research assistants? What about if I am willing to sacrifice their lives? (Anaq-ul-Ard is 100% expendable. The others... would need to consider it.)
Yes significant bonuses but let me think about what they are.
ReplyDeleteOh and about Anaq, looks like he disappeared on landing at the Feral Shore.
ReplyDeleteFascinating! Let it be known to all denizens of the Shore that 200 suns is to be paid for the head of Anaq-ul-Ard, 300 suns if he is brought in alive.
ReplyDeleteAppend to that the knowledge that identity is to be verified with fell magics, and that fraudulence or trickery shall carry its own cost to the perpetrator!
And finally, if Anaq should find it in his heart to turn himself in, it is promised that he will not be slain outright, instead being given employ in the improvement of Feral Shore defensive capabilities (a prestigious and enviable position!) In that case his long term prospects would depend fully on his own merit.
wait, which one is Anaq-ul-urd?
ReplyDeleteYellow Man apprentice from the Barge.
ReplyDelete"Well, I guess that's what we get for showing mercy to heathen idolaters."
ReplyDeleteThis is all part of the standard MU apprentice breaking-in process, I assure you.
