Post by: imported_Rasyr on July 22, 2011, 12:36:46 PM: When is the Convention? How much time do we have?

If nothing else, we can try to come up with something that you can run for it - afterall, this is a great promotional effort on your part, so I definitely want to support you in it in any way that I can.

Post by: imported_Rasyr on July 23, 2011, 12:02:17 PM: So far? Not really. My interpretation of some of them definitely belong to Novus - but so far, all of the creatures statted up for Novus are generic monsters.

Post by: niccosw on July 23, 2011, 04:24:42 PM: I'll be running the game on August 20th, so a little less than a month.

I'm mostly concerned about having premade character handouts and some enemy stat blocks. I can improvise a story and some skill challenges, crib maps from another game if I need to but I don't want to have to make six detailed characters plus enemies. If you can put together a module by the con, I'd rather run that than improvise since it will feature your unique setting with details I would miss.

Use the Orc stats, give them a different description, and use them as is, or close to it.

A Novus module would be better, but those are my suggestions.

I think that I can whip something together for you by then, no problem.

We already have an adventure, that we were planning on turning into a Quick Start for Novus, but time constraints have slowed down progress on it. But, I should be able to put it together well enough to allow for somebody who already knows Novus to be able to run it as a module.

Thanks! I'll keep an eye out on this thread as the date approaches. Let me know if you need anything from me.

Post by: niccosw on July 30, 2011, 03:12:09 AM: Thinking about the players I expect: A Martial Artist and an Archer would be nice on the team. I would avoid a Minstrel since the role-playing will be light. But I can work with whatever the adventure needs.

Post by: niccosw on August 13, 2011, 02:02:01 AM: Rasyr,

I was wondering how this coming along? Do you plan to post it here or on DriveThruRPG?

I'm going to need it a few days early (like the 17th) because I'll be traveling.

Post by: imported_Rasyr on August 13, 2011, 11:08:47 AM: Most likely, I will send it to you in a PM for you to download. I will try to get it to you before the 17th. -- Expect it to be very rough. (http:///bigsmile.gif)
