So, I passed on the CBC link below to my supervisors at my internship (we support autistic and other non-verbal learning disabled students) and they loved it and want me to run D&D for a group of the students.

I'm debating using the Cantons material since I know it well. It will also speed up the 5e-ification of the Cantons, because that is the edition I'll be using. Any assistance in that and/or working with players in an academic setting would be apprecated.

    You could always run something super classic - like B2! Also this is really good.

    I don't know that it would help at all, but Cole Long made 5th edition versions of all 3 of my main Cantons characters. You are welcome to take a look. Just scroll down a bit, and the 5th ed. versions are tacked on at the bottom.

    How old are the kids? We should talk about gaming in an academic setting.

    They are college age. It's a program that helps kids on the spectrum adjust to college and then transition into adult life on their own.

    Well done, Dennis.

    Also, I think that you should convert the HC to TNE+FFS.

    To that, Robert Parker, I say go choke on a chicken bone.

    C'mon, Dennis, you know that you want to figure out how many sandestins that'll take to make a laser pistol.

    I can make firearms using FFS. Laser weapons break my head.

    My hat's off to you for successfully designing anything in FFS. I stumbled on a cheap copy a while back, but every time I flip through it my eyes glaze over.

    The T4 version is even more incomprehensible.

    From the creators of Mutazoids? Color me shocked.

Just to speed things up tomorrow night, I thought I would let y'all try and figure what way you want to get into Brazonia. The town of Iascu mid-map is where Tazrun's twin brother is reported to live. Your entry point is at Hex 05.14. Hex scale is 5 miles.  Let me know what questions you might want to ask at the last Kozak sich before heading north or any other preparations.

It's been a while since the “formal” ask, but time to check in on the “how's it going” type feedback (which has been pretty valuable in sustaining the campaign over time). So how y'all feeling about the campaign?  Anything particular you want to see more of? Less of? Stay the course?  Suggestions? Wish lists?  Various half-crazed side campaign ideas keep popping into my head, but I am mostly staying the course for now.
