Halloween Game this Weekend

[Kain]

So I was thinking...Would it be possible to do a Halloween Expedition to Castle Ravenloft game this Saturday? I don't think I could get an entire new/fresh session planned up and monsters/NPCs statted in two days but I think I could look over the Castle Ravenloft book and use that. I know we have played in the campaign in the past, but I sort of look at it as our little tradition to play in the campaign once a year around Halloween. Of course can spice it up and change it so that its not exactly the same this time around.

So let me know as soon as you can what you think and if you would enjoy doing this. If we are all up for it I'll figure out the level to start everyone at, but I think for a one night session it suggests level 11.

I'm up for it. I've never been all the way through Expedition to Castle Ravenloft myself. We tried it once with my Friday group but as an ongoing campaign, and it... well, the game pretty much fell apart after our half of our level 6 party was wiped out by a Circle of Death spell.

Should I see if Noj is interested?

Please do and post here if you can so I can get a better head count.

He said he's interested, but apparently it's his dad's birthday so he can't get away.

So now my inevitable parade of questions:

1. Are we using Ravenloft campaign setting rules regarding things like powers checks, changes to how class features work, and so on? Or are we just playing straight out of the Expedition to Castle Ravenloft book?

2. Are we using standard starting gold for our level (I'm assuming level 11 unless you tell us otherwise), or something less?

3. Any restrictions on classes, races, available books, etc. other than the usual?

4. What time on Saturday would we be playing? I will not be available before 2:00, not sure if I have anything else going on after that but I will try to let you know tomorrow later today.

Well unfortunately some stuff came up with family and I don't know that I'll be free tomorrow but I may be, so I don't think planning this is worth it anymore. If I am free, I suppose we could play Magic or something like that though.

Well, I'll send you an IM or text or something when I get free tomorrow to see whether you're free.
