Yeah, my players told me to lay back and enjoy the fights like they do. And that means that I will, along with concentrating more on playing the monsters than by keeping the pace.

Can’t wait to start playing again!

“While I will maintain a brisk pace, I won’t worry that fights take too long as I could clearly see on everyone’s face that they were having fun planning and seeing their strategy unfold into a thing of tactical beauty.”

THIS, is a fantastic point. We get to play every week thankfully but we often don’t start till 9pm. If we’re lucky and the PC’s are in a dungeon we can probably squeeze through 3 encounters, although 2 is far more normal. If there are any role playing segments or out of combat pieces then this is easily 1-2 if there IS a combat encounter.

This has been worrying me as I feel like the campaign is a little slow going only being able to do a few encounters every week. But it’s a great point you make here, if people are enjoying the tactical challenge of the fights, why rush things? Just because it’s taking a while doesn’t mean it isn’t enjoyable, we should savour it.

Actually the break only occurs because I can’t play for the next month. Two weeks from now I’ll be camping with my family, then I’ll be at Gen Con.

Maybe we’ll start playing again on August 21st, if I’ve recovered from the Con at this point.

Best of luck with the “break” (yeah, right!). I look forward to more of the same with Season 2
