The group has decided that we are going to have a full day session to serve as a season finale of our Ptolus campaign. If I time things properly we can get to this by next weekend (August 2nd). So, the plan is to make this an event. I have shuffled the wife and daughter off for the afternoon and early evening to avoid distractions. I am planning a suppertime BBQ (burgers and hot dogs with potato salad) which will allow for easy cooking/cleanup and then back to gaming quickly. So, the event is prepared now I must prepare the session to make it something worthwhile.
The season finale of our campaign is going to be the end of the Night of Dissolution (NoD) module from Malhavoc Press which we have been running since we ran out of the adventures in the Big Book (BB). The party just crested 9th level so I am looking to make sure that the module is challenging enough but that they can achieve success after some tense moments.

For this session I have decided to do something a little different. For those of you who aren’t my players, read on. Players, please stay out.
