I wasn’t able to make it to this session, so I don’t have any notes for it. the DM put together a synopsis of what happened. So in order to keep the story together, I’m tossing that up here. This was the final wrap up of the previous module, and the introduction to the new module.

Prior to me even starting to write this our group has completed the campaign, collected all the rewards, grabbed the plot hook for the next module, and have started off to put an end to a slaving group. Fortunately I am slowly catching up to my notes. After this one I only have two left to do until I’m back in line with the campaign.

As we proceed through the campaign we’ve had to adapt our strategies as we learn more of the rules. For example, one of our main strategies was to use the Wizard spell Thunder Wave to shove enemies past our melee fighters. In our initial reading of the rules we thought this would give them all attacks of opportunity, and it made us very efficient at clearing large groups. We later found out that forced movement, such as this, would not grant attacks of opportunity. Hopefully we’re not breaking too many other rules, I’d hate to think we’re doing so well because we don’t know that we’re not following the rules.

It only took a brief two months for Netflix to send me the next James Bond film, From Russia with Love. They do this to me every now and again. Some movie in my queue will inexplicable get marked with “Long Wait”. The last couple times this happened I found out the DVD was no longer being made, so Netflix probably couldn’t get a copy to send me. I highly doubt that was the case with this movie since the Bond movies are so popular. More likely some rabid Bond hater went and rented all the copies Netflix had and snapped the DVD’s to prevent them from renting it anymore.
Regardless of the rental difficulties I’ve finally gotten back to watching the Bond movies.

Years ago I played the game Sub Culture, a game where you piloted a submarine through the ocean scavenging for things to sell or possibly shooting at underwater pirates. There was probably some kind of story line you could follow but I skipped that. I spent all my time exploring and taking in the scenery, scavenging enough stuff to sell to enable my sub to go a little bit further and deeper than before. Despite ignoring most of the actual content of the game it still convinced me that I needed a Monster 3D graphics card.
Recently I was loaned a copy of Endless Ocean for the Wii. All I really knew about it was that it was a scuba diving game that didn’t have any real goals or objections. Yet somehow people were drawn to it and managed to spend lots of time playing it. For me its the successor to Sub Culture, except even more tailored to what I want to do: Roam about the ocean looking at stuff.
