Given that it has been a while, I thought I would resume with a short update on the status of my two ongoing campaigns:
The Mists of Lamordia
This campaign has just ended the first "crucible", with the PCs reaching level 6 at the conclusion. This means that the campaign is moving into its third phase, and heading toward the endgame. I had hoped to conclude this campaign before April next year, as I'll be missing a month due to paternity leave, but alas that doesn't seem to be possible.
Overall, I'm reasonably pleased with the way that this campaign has played out, but there have been many lessons-learned from it as well. The big one: I really need to find time to prepare better!
The Quest for Memory
As a consequence of longer game sessions, this campaign is progressing at a somewhat faster rate than the other. The PCs are currently mid-way through 4th level and probably two sessions away from 5th level. That means that they're nearly ready to head into their own first "crucible".
This campaign doesn't have a fixed end-date, though my feeling is that it should aim to run for about a year - much more than that and campaigns seem to lose steam.
At this point there aren't any great lessons-learned from this campaign, it possibly being a little early for it. Except for one thing - my players hate my policy of not giving XP for random encounters. I still think that's the right approach, though, especially with them knowing that that is going to be the case!
