This is a site for discussing roleplaying games. Have fun doing so, but there is one major rule: do not discuss political issues that aren't directly and uniquely related to the subject of the thread and about gaming. While this site is dedicated to free speech, the following will not be tolerated: devolving a thread into unrelated political discussion, sockpuppeting (using multiple and/or bogus accounts), disrupting topics without contributing to them, and posting images that could get someone fired in the workplace (an external link is OK, but clearly mark it as Not Safe For Work, or NSFW). If you receive a warning, please take it seriously and either move on to another topic or steer the discussion back to its original RPG-related theme.

How Much Advice to Give

Get a hold of Pendragon 5th edition and read Greg Stafford's designer notes.  THAT is how you explain your vision of what a game is about.
You should go to GaryCon.  Period.

The rules can\'t cure stupid, and the rules can\'t cure asshole.

I'm plalytesting the adventure on Skype on Thursday night. I have three players and wouldn't mind a couple more. Anyone interested, get in touch. I'm going to use pre-made characters and will send you one. You can play the game from a character sheet, without having the rules but the rules are on DrivethruRPG. Get in touch if you are interested

I ran an online playtest tonight and it ran on schedule with four player-characters and one NPC. My regulars are willing to give up their high-level campaign to run this every week for the one or two more weeks the module will take and Zac says he will be back, so we are doing it again next Thursday.

Someone could take over the NPC who is running with the party. She's a Dwarf Hedge-Priest of the God of Travel who had a prior career as a common criminal on the mean streets of Iron Town Under. She retains a set of urban skills.

Some character decisions and one very good set of dice rolls where we would have been better off with a bad set have taken the module, as a module, off the rails but I think it is robust enough to continue without railroading. I mean, the party is in some danger of being outlaws and there is an Elf with vengeance on her mind stalking them but what else is new?
