For anyone that hasn't left for GenCon yet (like me): the Adventure Journals we have been hearing so much about are now up on the main Xen'drik site.

You may want to take a look at these. One for each faction, four pages long, fairly detailed. Players are going to be asking about them, so get ready for a lot of questions.

I wonder how people without net access at GenCon are going to deal with these? Oh, well, I'm leaving now. See some of you there!

Well, some of us thoughtful DM's have printed out a bunch. I know I have 20--we'll see how long they last. :D

I'm doing the math here: 4 pages times 6 players per table times 10 tables equals 240 pages. Sorry, I can't afford that. That's about three ink cartridges for me, not to mention paper. I'm thoughtful, not rich. :P

I hope HQ has lots of ink handy, cause players are gonna need these. ;)

OK, this time I really am leaving. On the road again.... :D

I think they look great! Kudos for getting 'em up online. My games run August 19-20, and I know these're gonna go over big.

be less generous with your thoughfulness
Print out only the first 2 pages (the last 2 are generic and will get hand numbered and added onto every few adventures)
those first 2 will last for the first 2 adventures, should be sufficient until those who left before they got up can get home and print more pages

course that's still 120 pages and a cart anf a half, but it's better than the whole thing ;-)

Now we've got the best of both worlds, MoH's glitchy online character tracking and LG's paperwork! :ayyyy!:

Seriously though, after looking through the Adventure Journals, I almost wonder why we need to keep track of much of the info, since it's redundant to the info in the online tracker. I suppose it's a backup for the next time the tracker goes down. :weep:
