I got busy and also was a bit ill for the last two posts:
Last session: The "B" Team, we came up with new characters whose racial ability modifiers don't help their character classes. I have some new plans for this campaign that could be interesting, but for starters, as first level characters the storyline is pretty basic. It's similar to the movie "Mystery Men," only in D&D terms. A party of heroes, including a lot of dwarves (who basically run the planet) saved a silver mining town from goblins way back when they were low level. The "A" team heroes then went on to adventure together and accomplish great things. Years later though, the goblins came back and reclaimed the original mining town. With their original heroes long gone and nobody else stepping up, that's where the new party stepped in. This campaign is more about heart than ability. There are wonderful possibilities for this group and what they can experience, both from an adventure and from a story point of view. There's something compelling and comical as well as a bit desperate and an underdog feeling from the beginning. Anyway, it looks like the goblins are beginning to fall out of power already, though their name for the town still translates to "our silver mine." Oh, and there are flying squirrel monkeys and a nasty swampy delta covered with mining sludge.
Two sessions ago: Star Wars. Roger Roger took what would normally be Destro's role of blowing everything up. The party are heading into the Corporate sector of the galaxy under the direction of Dabbo the Hutt. In the process, they are discovering new threats and opportunities. The climax of the adventure was the rescue of the top genetic engineer for a biotech/military supply company from a world of both environmental and Imperial hostility. This adventure is largely (but not entirely) complete and I will detail it out later.
