Are you or Heather familiar with Robert's Rules of Order?

I can't speak for Heather, but I've never heard of them.

Braaains! True story. The encounter was originally going to be drowned ones, a rather potent form of zombie. But when Heather saw me rolling dice, she wanted to roll for me. She had no idea what she was rolling for, though (it was for number encountered). She rolled 21. There's no way the party could have survived against 21 drowned ones, and even if by some miracle you did, it would double everyone's XP. So I downgraded them to regular run of the mill zombies. Nice job, Heather. So, first sessions are always a little tough. What did you two think?

I enjoyed the roleplaying at the beginning. Idling on the boat was kind of dull, though it wasn't for very long. Honestly, I hate zombies, so I thought the combat this session was a little bit boring. I enjoyed all the characters, but you weren't very subtle in naming the Home-steader representative. I read your blog, David. Are you trying to make Home-steaders unsympathetic?

Maybe...
It seems like I always like to have that one NPC designed to be loathsome: Adam, Zevar, Darrin. In this case, it was my intention to make the Homesteader rep unlikable. I wanted a Senator Kinsey to the party's SG-1 (obscure Stargate reference ftw). I often will use the personalities of real people I know for NPCs (Taska is based on a former-coworker). So it made sense to use my former boss for Darrin.
I guess now that I think about it, the two biggest homesteaders featured so far (Adam and Derrin) are assholes. I didn't mean to imply all homesteaders are like that. Hmm, I'll have to try and make more sympathetic ones in the future to balance those two out.

Ugh, I've fallen sick. But I still managed to finish the transcript and xp. Session 01 - Dawn's BrideI also updated the NPCs page and Bestiary. Also, Taska leveled up.

Bad news, everyone!
Heather and I have obtained tickets to the symphony this Tuesday evening. But she is flying out to Oklahoma the following morning for about a week.
This means no session next week, unfortunately. It's just as well, as my recent illness has caused me to fall behind on my work on the game anyway. Now I can catch up.
