I know I'm still catching up on the session recaps - I will get back to those next week - but last weekend we finished playing through the Goodman Games revision of The Temple of Elemental Evil. Everyone hit 10th level by the end and somehow NO ONE DIED?! That is a first for me in any ongoing D&D type campaign so I'll have to mull that one over. Maybe I'm getting soft. They fought through hundreds of opponents, travelled a lot of miles, stood face to face with three gods, and utterly destroyed the temple in the end.
We have a wrap-up session this weekend in Hommlet where land and noble titles will be awarded, high-fives will be exchanged, and the Paladin will be getting married. All of that will be a lot of fun and a nice wrap to the campaign.
After that we will put it on the shelf for a while. We've already started tossing around ideas for the next game and I expect it will be a) not a D&D type game and b) a shorter run with something, maybe even a tryout. Supers is finally a leading contender and it may just turn into finally finishing Time of Crisis!
I suspect we will return to this campaign again down the road though. Everyone likes their characters and this system too much to just forget about it. The long term vision was to run though the Giants series and then do the Drow series all the way through to their conclusion while working in Barrier Peaks somewhere too so we could say we've run that classic campaign and that's probably where I would start whenever we pick things up again.
Anyway I will have more detailed breakdowns on stuff down the road - the rules, the campaign, my players, things I could have done better, and what was going on with that no one dying thing. For now though I'm just going to enjoy the victory lap.
