Well, that sucked. I haven't had a game end like that in nine years. Basically happened the same way, too--I just couldn't stop rolling amazing. Why does that never happen when I'm a PC? I feel especially bad for Greywolf; that's four years of work down the drain. What a terrible module. Who thought that was a fair encounter for a party level 1-4? Well, Jim Butler did, I guess. Alright, well, I guess the next step is making some choices: Namely, what setting do we want to do? Stick to Forgotten Realms or try something else? And then we start rolling up new characters. Which reminds me, I'll be making some modifications to the house rules--namely, removing most of them. Going to make this game a little more hardcore 2E instead of the heavily modified version I've been running for years. See if the original game still holds up or not. Should be fun.

i am good with any setting, but dragonlance, darksun and birthright are my favorites. i am fine with more hardcore 2e.

Okay, I'll count that as one vote for Dragonlance then, with Dark Sun and Birthright as second and third choices. (Although I admit, I know nothing about either Dark Sun or Birthright.)
Also, wow, 12 characters in one session? What were you playing, Tomb of Horrors?

I am most familiar with Dragonlance, but I am open to any setting.

I find Dragonlance a bit meh. Dark Sun is a major step away from mainstream D&D. It's cool, but it's both a very different setting and includes quite a few rule variations compared to standard 2e. Birthright also has a few rule variations and of course the conceit is that all or some of the PCs will be part of the ruling class with some special powers.
I like Greyhawk best myself, though I can live with Forgotten Realms as well. These are also the two settings that cleave closest to the base rules.

I am game for some dragonlance. I wouldn't mind birthright either never actually played that setting. Started to once but the DM had to end the game before we started due to work. Greyhawk also does not bother me.

My fav is Ravenloft, but anything is fine

i would be cool with ravenloft also. it would make for a challenging game with how clerics and paladins are effected. but i enjoy how the domains effect the players

Alright, so...
Dragonlance, Birthright, Dark Sun, Greyhawk, Forgotten Realms and Ravenloft have all been mentioned. So I will close this thread, open up a poll for a formal vote, and then we can start character creation once it's decided.
