Roleplaying at work

So the CEO asked me to run a game.

At the Summer Party, he asked about an RPG club a colleague of mine had suggested on our intranet, and when I told him it never got off the ground, he seemed so disappointed, that I promised I'd get something up and running. I remembered a colleague (the Genius) who'd said he really wanted to try it out. Another who was a Gamer but wasn't playing at the moment. And my Sales Director who had been gaming for a long time.

I got them together and ran them through a Ptolus adventure I made for a con a few years back. It went well. So well, in fact, that they wanted to continue with a real campaign.

So this next Wednesday, I'm bringing my Special Edition Rise of the Runelords, a combat plan, minis and a few other things to kick off the Swallowtail Festival in Sandpoint. Here's the roster:


  • The CEO - Human (Ulfen) ranger. Surprisingly charismatic and wise giant of a man. Very effective with a bow.
  • The Sales Director - Elf (Forlorn) Magus. Describes the character as a geek. From Riddleport. Could be fun.
  • The Genius - Half-drow Rogue (counterfeit mage). Has some great ideas about bluffing his way through the world. 
  • The Gamer - Human (Shoanti) oracle of the Skoan-Quah clan. He'll most likely bring Weird to the table in a good way. 


The last PCs were created yesterday. We'll see what happens Wednesday!
