Keep on the Borderlands Battle Report Session #3

Link to previous post

Keep on the borderlands continues! We've now played for three sessions of Old School Essentials & Keep on the Borderlands, and I reckon I'll run at least 3 more before considering changing up the rules to a new system. (ICRPG is very appealing right now).

Good session all up, click for the details.

Today we had some new players, a Thief, an Assassin and another Elf. They rolled terrible on their hit points and it was a miracle they didn't die.

They journeyed toward the forests in the north, encountering a mad old man and his pet mountain lion. One of the NPCs was killed, as well as a player character.

I increased the rewards substantially from what was written in the module, but players are leveling up very slowly.

I think I'm beginning to get tired of the incremental XP present in older editions like B/X and AD&D. It's a big hassle to calculate how much XP the players get when it won't actually result in them levelling up. Games like Maze Rats and Deathbringer have solved this by having all XP be in single digits. ICRPG also just allows the GM to simply grant additional abilities at their whim.

These systems look really appealing, so I'm unsure if OSE will continue beyond 6 sessions.

Players weren't really prepared for the fight with the Old Man & his pet mountain lion. One player did attempt a backstab, but it didn't hit. The assassin didn't get a chance to assassinate either. (not sure if that works as a ranged attack).

The second combat encounter, the players fought a werewolf, I was convinced they would all die, but I got them to team up with a werewolf hunter, prep some ammunition, and they seemed to go along with the Werewolf hunter's plan to ambush the werewolf.

They did extremely well in this encounter, but it almost felt too easy, and most of the planning was done by the Werewolf hunter character which I was controlling. At least, that's how I remember it.

Players are still having fun and it seemed to fine for one of the players who had never played before.

Kelly Clarkson and Hoda Kotb collab on new song based on the 'Today' host's new book

The 'Stronger' singer and 'Today' host teamed up for a musical rendition of Kotb's new children's book, 'I've Loved You Since Forever,' on sale March 6.

The next hit musical collaboration? Kelly Clarkson and Hoda Kotb.

The Stronger singer and Today host have teamed up for a surprise musical rendition of Kotb's new children's book, I've Loved You Since Forever, on sale March 6.

Kotb, who teased the news on her Twitter Thursday, told USA TODAY that Clarkson wrote the song after Kotb approached the singer with the idea.

"I'm dying over this," Kotb said, excited. "We're doing a song together."

The song (out March 8) uses the words from Kotb's book, which is a heartfelt, poetic story about love inspired by her adopted daughter, Haley Joy.

"I just thought there was no way she was going to be able to. I thought there weren't enough words," she said. "You know when you're like, 'That can't work, that'll never work.' And she was like, 'Oh yes it will!' "

Kotb brought Haley Joy home in February 2017, sharing the news on NBC's morning show. Haley Joy and the 53-year-old celebrated the "Valentine's" baby's first birthday early last month, as Kotb was in South Korea for the Olympics.
