Guh... Act 2 probably? I made this campaign really long in my head.

Hopefully the action will come faster now.

Man, and by only reading the recaps I thought they were actually closing in on the end.

Nah, shit's getting real right now.

Really good time crunch encounter Asmo. You know it's good when your character has to make a hard decision and regrets it afterwards.

I've been listening to a lot of Friends at the Table and their GM, Austin Walker (a fantastic games writer currently running VICE Gaming), is incredible at making characters think and pushing them to make tough choices. Admittedly, they're playing a whole lot of PbtA games, which build that into the system, but there's no reason not to push that into D&D as well. I'm hoping to make your characters much more dramatically miserable in the future.

EDIT: Also, I'm probably going to try and change the base character sheet for the game and when I do I will let you know about it. There will be copies of your current character sheets available as well so you can copy/paste (and drag and drop spells from the SRD pages), but you will have to do that BEFORE our next session. I'll keep you posted on this minor homework. Also, this is a good opportunity to perhaps fill in parts of your character sheets that aren't filled in now! :D

Being able to drag spells from the SRD into the new sheet is AMAZING.

The new sheet really makes things much more convenient in general, allowing you to add items as things that have consumable resources and easily cast/keep track of them.

I'm definitely a fan of being forced to make choices. Any character defining things are always exciting. I was telling you that I got to play my sorcerer again last weekend, and it was an almost entirely RP session, which was awesome.

Man.
A year ago we had just escaped the library.
And yeah we haven't had a major RP session in a while. I'm looking forward to more choices.

I too am looking forward to more RP. Combat is fun and all but Paladin combat is pretty repetitive (at least the way I have Roam set up).
