Comment on Goblin Skull & Shackles, Session 2 – Press-Ganged! by tink333

It would have been quite a travesty had Frodo lost his life over failing to detect a harpoon-trapped door vs. the wanton stupidity that Ent demonstrated by throwing an oil lantern into the group of humans who just wanted to haze the newbies. Ent was more than lucky on several counts: 1) that water from the bilge actually extinguished the fire, when in reality the fire would have spread had water been poured on it since it was laced with lamp oil. 2) there were few (if any) articles solid enough to smother the flames, save Ent’s 2′+ body. 3) the DM warned our group both in and out of character that we had better not set fire to the ship, knowing the pyro tendencies of certain members of our party. 4) when the Captain asked who started the fire, all the goblins pointed at the humans who came to haze them. That said, let everyone in the party be forewarned that Garagornne isn’t going to tolerate any more shenanigans on the part of Ent that may endanger her friends. Goblins aren’t afraid of death…

Special thanks to Craig for playing my character since my back won the battle against me and I had to leave the game.

Since now, I now have played a little of almost every D&D editions, these are my impressions: Basic D&D was the easiest to grasp; 4E was the most complex, and the cards with stupid action names made it easy to become confused. I think I like Pathfinder best. It seems to have a good balance between game mechanics and role playing so that the player can actually enjoy the adventure.

That Vorka was a real witch. Ugly, too, and the map was definitely not to scale. I love my new shiny treasures. It’s good to be a strong and not so stinky goblin!

I never even realised that there were different kinds of D&D! Apart from the kids box game which is a good introduction but not a good game. Might have to look into the different kinds.

By the way, I just set up a D&D themed shop/blog selling cartoony D&D designs and thought you might like to take a look seeing as it’s related to your blog!: http://thescurvydwarf.wordpress.com/

I’m lucky to have a group that’s willing to play other things. Three of four players have played the DA video game, so that helped too.

I’ll have to try Dragon Age someday. I have both boxed sets, it’s just a matter of sitting down and playing it (and selling it to the players that prefer to play nothing but D&D).

We’ve run into the “it’s too complicated” proverbial brick wall with Pathfinder. It’s fun, don’t get me wrong, but there are so many options to go through.

We’re going to try the Dragon Age RPG and see how that goes. The group all like the quickstart one-shot, so we’ll see how it works as a campaign. If nothing else, it’s a lot simpler than Pathfinder.

Ahh, so your party is just as good at pulling the ENTIRE DUNGEON down on themselves as we are

I thought about that, but I had a lot of trouble getting back into my account and I just really don’t want to go and change the password again. For various reason, sharing THAT particular password is not an option.
