The Mists of Lamordia at Year's End

On Thursday we ha our final session of "The Mists of Lamordia" for the year. We brought one of our subplots to its end, which puts us in a good position to stop for a while.

I had hoped to bring the campaign as a whole of a conclusion by the end of March, but I think that is massively over-ambitious - my gut feeling is that we're closer to halfway through the campaign than nearing the end. That's not terrible, but not ideal.

As a whole the campaign has been going reasonably well so far, but like many of my campaigns it hasn't quite been what I had hoped. That's largely my own fault - I just don't have the time to prepare as well as I might help. In particular, the campaign could do with more encounters, and particularly 'fixed' encounters. For a long time the PCs were just not gaining XP and so dragging themselves through the levels. That has improved somewhat, but could still do with some acceleration.

With a bit of luck, I hope to find some time over the next month to put some more material together, in order to bring the campaign to a better conclusion. I'm also going to address one logistical weakness - one of the players is available only sporadically, so I'm going to introduce a mechanism by which the character can likewise be written in or out as needed.

So far, so good.
