So, we had a good session. After everyone signing on and a little chat we played got in about 1 hour 40 minutes of roleplaying. It thought it went well. The players all had a chance to spend a little bit of their wealth on some cool stuff, an interesting new world was introduced, and potential complications to their mission came up. I expect the next session will have some action. Should be fun. But I never just assume out players will do any one specific thing.
The night after our game I was on the way to my aikido practice and I was listening to a gaming podcast. As usual my mind kind of wandered, and suddenly I have a “revelation” about the direction our campaign was going, and how some elements that were introduced over these first 53 sessions tie together. That’s right. I introduced stuff with no idea how it would fit together. Because this is a long form campaign though it all fell into place in my cranium that night. I feel really good about the campaign going forward. No need to railroad the players, force things, or so forth. I just have a clear idea of how some big trends fit together, and how that might affect the PCs, and it’s going to be really fun exploring this.
