At last! We managed to continue our Esteren/MST crossover. It was about time. We bought a house and had a lot of work to do, which unfortunately kept us from gaming. Well… now we have a fine house instead.

So, what happened?

After Artis, our brave Varigal, was nearly overridden by ...

Session 4 took place, and since we managed to have my sister-in-law take care of our baby boy, we had a little more time and could finally cover some ground.

After hurrying away from the desolated inn and the Hilderin knights with their entourage of murderers and rapists, Artis and Haestan ...

Yeah, a classic! However, making the dream a reality would sure have made the adventure much grimmer and harder for her, what's with having her protector killed and having to run away with an insane killer hot on her heels.

Thanks for the inspiration! Never too late to bring in an insane killer ...

Actually I was looking for a name that sounded good with the German translation ob Two-Blades' which is "Zwei-Klingen". This was rather improvised on spot, so I needed a good sounding name. And "Zwei-Klingen-Klovis" just fitted nicely. Like I said, no other intention here than coming up quickly with ...

So, session 3 just took place. Here's what happened:

After a couple of days of wandering in the pouring rain, the leafed forest changes more and more into coniferous woods, as Artis and Haestan reach the foothills of the Mòr Roimh. The earth becomes more ragged and rock formations protrude ...

Hi Arthus,

Thanks for the enlightenment. You have indeed some proposals here that might suit me better than my original replacements. But fortunately I have some time to think about it before it will become relevant for my game. Anyhow, like you said, it’s good to know that there are others out ...

Good to know that we apparently rocked in that regard!
Looks like it. :)

Yaaaaaaay! Thank you very much for the compliment!
You're welcome. You earned it.

Anyway, the time of Secrets will come! In the meantime, keep brewing your own Tri-Kazel! ;)
Will do. Next gaming session is on Friday ...

... it's always great to see that english native speakers find it so excellent !

I take that as a compliment, but actually I'm not a native speaker. I'm German. :)

I just happen to have been part of the official Pathfinder translation team for Ulisses Games in Germany. Job, marriage and kid left ...

By the way, what does "production values" mean exactly?
To my understanding, it means - much like you said - the overall quality of a game. To me, this consists of
- quality of writing
- fusion of game system and setting
- product quality in terms of physical condition/touchiness/processing of the ...
