Gamex 2010 Day One
The first day of this year's Gamex was surprisingly uninteresting. There were no board games or RPGs that interested me particularly, so I instead spent the night playing a pair of RPGA games. The first game was relatively straightforward as far as plot and judging went: a sick young elf girl needed medicine and we as "a group of 4 to 6 adventurers" needed to take her to the nearby outcast elf tribe to get her healed. The GM basically ran everything by the book and so we did normal skill challenges (Insight to find the answer and the top people in each area roll) and had three encounters. It was interesting in that we found a nice weapon during the game (Vicious Longbow +2) that my character used for the duration of the module. However, due to the way that the Living Forgotten Realms rules work and although I got to keep the weapon at the end of the module, I couldn't use it in the second game that evening due to the fact that you can't use an item if you are more than four levels below the magic item's level. I ended that module at level 2 (and about 200 XP from level 3) and the longbow was a level 7 weapon.

The second game was somewhat more interesting due to the GM. The combination of the module itself and the GM who was running it led to a more roleplay-heavy session. Of course, my character isn't really built for doing social things (since, being a Ranger, I don't have charisma as a primary or secondary stat). Nevertheless, it was still a very interesting and enjoyable game and rather different from most RPGA games that I've played. This module was also polite enough to give me the XP necessary to reach level 3, so I'll be able to use that nice longbow in future fights.
