Finally done with the Scepter Tower of Spellguard

We wrapped up the game finally, most of us are glad. It went better than we expected. I missed sixth level by this much. That was the only sucky part. I guess we will won't be doing Monday Night LFR anymore due to scheduling conflicts and that I really need it off in order to get my homework done.

Monday Night LFR

We have been running Monday Night LFR for close to three months now and everyone is ready for a break. We are running the third adaptable for the Sceptor Tower of Spellgaurd. We are almost done with it. One more Monday Night LFR and we will have it completed. Some of us are unhappy with the way it is being run. One encounter triggers the next, and we have no time for a short rest. I know that this makes sense in the normal world, but in D&D, it is a little much, especially at low levels. 4th Edition D&D was designed with the intent that we do one encounter, short rest, and then move on to the next encounter. We are not getting that short rest, so our encounter powers are not refreshing with each encounter which then makes us want to take an extended rest because we are out of healing surges and daily powers. We need to start using tactics and working as a group. With the use of tactics, we can halt the trigger of the next encounter and be a little refreshed when we do trigger the next encounter. Time has been another factor since we have been running out of it when we need it the most. I hope in the near future we can work together and use tactics to last long enough so we can make it to the final battle/encounter and kick some butt. Until next Monday, we have some time to work on it.

Running the Mod

I have won a prestigious award known as the Title: Worst DM Ever! I won this about two years back at a Convention we hold in Stevens Point every year known as PointCon. My friends had dubbed me with this honorary title and so now I wear it with pride because not much has changed. I am still a pretty bad DM, ST, GM, Judge, etc. Whatever you want to call it, I am pretty darn bad, but I realized something, they still need me to run games, and I will because I love running games. I just need to work on my delivery. Actually, my delevery is good, I just can't remember the rules worth a darn. I can spin a pretty good yarn, but when it comes to justifying what can and can't be done, well then that is where I have a problem. I still love running games though, and as long as no one else wants to step up I will keep running the games my way, unless its LFR, then I run them the RPGA way.
