@@michaelmitchel3471 Pretty well so far! I picked up Basic Fantasy and I'm playing through a campaign with my old Dwarf Fighter character that I ran back in college. Our game ended on a cliffhanger so it was great having a clear goal from the start, and I'm loving the old-school feel of BF. Once this game is done I'm going to try a play through of Tiny Frontiers and see how that plays solo.

@@michaelmitchel3471 Nothing too crazy; I use Obsidian to handle all of the character backgrounds and information, along with all the locations and cities. If I had to use pencil and paper I'd scale it way down to keep a better handle on everything, but it's working out so far. Right now he's in a party with a Halfling that I'm starting to suspect is planning on backstabbing him at some point because of some recent oracle rolls, but my character doesn't know that... So that's going to be interesting if the rolls determine that to be so. I apologize for the late response! I never check KZfaq comments. TL;DR, get Obsidian or some other personal wiki to keep track of all your games and characters, you won't be disappointed.

This is it, the time of truth! If I were watching this series as it aired, waiting a week for the next episode would've been pure torture lol As for my predictions as to how this will go down, I'm honestly unsure. For the longest time Manfred has been perceived by us as the BBG of this campaign, but recent developments make it seem like he's actually a reasonable and good natured individual. He firmly believes that Simon killed his son, but at the same time, if he's actually reasonable, he should accept Simon's evidence that proves otherwise. I guess it all comes down to the will of the dice now, thankfully I won't have to wait and I can see what happens right now!

The guard angle is good. When I saw the mini I was all "ah, Dr. Jekyl, I didn't know your first name was Thornton" and then I couldn't help making Hulk jokes. Good times. Happy Thanksgiivng, btw. Watched this last night, too tired to leave a comment and had to come back and rewatch the end. Thanks for all the hard work, too.

Great episode. Think it would be cooler if you had shown us the process you came up with the theory though. I understand wanting the viewers to have some suspense, but this show is really better for showing us how to solo rpg. And bringing us along on your brainstorm to set up this fight would have been great.

AHHH! So good! This is leading up beautifully to a conclusion to Simon's story, and I cannot WAIT to see how this trial goes! Out of curiosity, if this wraps up the biggest threads for Simon (obviously Edbert still has some demons to deal with), do you plan to continue with these character, or start something new? Personally I'd enjoy a new story set in the same world-I remember in an interview you mentioned I think it was Thieves World, where many people played characters separately but in a shared world. It'd be cool to, say, start a new adventure branching off from one of the established areas, and maybe hear about the events of this story in passing.

Great Stuff Trevor! Thanks for the gripping episode and excellent story telling. One question; were you intentionally NERF-ing the vigor rolls? ***trait rolls (vigor) suffer a penalty equal to wounds. So Simon wouldn't have un-shaken and Arn wouldn't have made his save vs. death (I guess his leg injury would have been permanent - see incapacitation and bleeding out and incapacitation (SWD pp77-78).

My thinking in the moment was that they were about to embark on a really crazy mission: to try and prove Simon's innocence to a man who was absolutely convinced that he's guilty, and doing so with questionable evidence (Stratton's testimony would have being invaluable, but alas...). As always, it's all about interpretation, and whatever feels true in the moment.

I'm honestly surprised the trio didn't lose more than just Stanton there. That guy was a beast, no better way to explain it then that. Well, drawing ever closer to the conclusion of Simon's adventures. Will he convince Manfred of Dovedane that he is an innocent man or will he face the chopping block? Well, worse comes to worse, just drop a dragon in the courtyard as Simon is laying his head down to meet his maker. Oh...wait...that's another story altogether. ;>
