I'm thoroughly enjoying Wyatt's run, @m7600 . I've spent much of my adult life in Tucson, AZ, where a lot of Westerns were filmed, including Tombstone (1993). I'm loving the Old West theme! I also appreciate how you RPed the Tarnesh encounter. That was costly from a resource perspective, but...

I'm glad to hear it! I look forward to seeing what you come up with!

Alia, Halfling Kensai: Early Adventures Ok! Since Alia's character description didn't garner much of a response, I'm going to post this as a lightly RPed, low cheese tactically oriented run, rather than a full fledged Annex adventure. Some may find it interesting, in light of the recent...

@OrlonKronsteen By get through I mean no reload. There are too many question marks for a solo kensai in ToB. It may be feasible with practice, but going in blind I think her odds would be very low. The issue is her inability to use small shields, above all else. I'm actually playing her in SoA...

Welcome, m7600! It's wonderful to have you! Best wishes to Wyatt! You've nailed the old west dialogue cadence. This should be fun! Cheers, A.

Fyi, I recently rolled a dagger kensai, inspired by this thread. She's running solo in an SCS install, on insane. She's doing well so far, reload free up through the return to Candlekeep. The endgame may prove challenging, due to the lack of dispelling arrows, but I think she has a reasonable...

Excellent! In Arwen's run we have an example of a successful journal style narrative. And in Amara's we have an example of a run that started out with promise but crashed and burned because someone played all night and raced through SoA. Diversity, here at the the Candlekeep Annex, lol...

Thanks for sharing, @alice_ashpool ! A duo with Imoen is a great setup for a narrativized run. I look forward to reading it! Cheers, A.

Lol. The problem isn't really my writing skills. It's my play/post flow. From my NR challenge days I'm used to playing for hours and then churning out posts in minutes. If I want to narrativize with a touch of literary merit I'll need to change that. More thinking and writing, less gameplay...

The question is what is the right balance between narrative elements and tactical details. I think the honest truth of it is that the correct balance depends on the skill of the writer. I'm a solid (if rusty) player and a so-so writer. For someone like me I think it makes sense to aim for a...

The Legend of Amara, Swashbuckler of the Sword Coast: The Dukes, Pt 2 (Or Houston We Have a Problem) Amara isn't happy with me. And I can't say I blame her. Since I've been sick I've been playing a lot, dissociating from my discomfort. Writing, however, has felt like a chore, and so Amara's...

Best of luck, ZaramMaldovar! I identify with the challenge. Sometimes it's difficult to find a character's personality, especially with half-orcs. They can be hard to relate to. She looks pained to me, misunderstood- struggling to define herself in a world that doesn't see her as she is.

The Legend of Amara, Swashbuckler of the Sword Coast: The Dukes, Pt 1 (Or The Fate Spirit Has a Head Cold) Some of you may be struggling to interpret the subtitle of this post. Allow me to help you out. It's not a metaphor. I, Alesia_BH, Amara's fate spirit, have a head cold. It's unpleasant...

Agreed. We want you to enjoy sharing, ZaramMaldovar. That's the most important thing :)

You may also want to consider converting your PNGs to JPEG format. That will reduce the file size dramatically without too much loss of quality, allowing you to keep your screenshots inline, without spoiler tags, while maintaining reasonable load times. For example, one of the files below is ten...

@Skatan Good question. I, too, was assuming a solo run, based on the struggles, but the run @ZaramMaldovar is posting is a kensai in a party. My advice had been tilted towards solo play.

This was my favorite live music performance of all time and it's a tragedy that it's only gotten two likes on Youtube in 16 years. Something tells me my fellow RPG geeks will get it- or at least kind of get it. Btw, we've increased the like total by 50%. One more like and we'll have doubled...

The Legend of Amara, Swashbuckler of the Sword Coast: The Return to Candlekeep Homecomings aren’t always pleasant. We all know this. I remember the last time I went back to Connecticut for the holidays. I wish I didn’t. I may lament those hours spent listening to my drunk uncle pontificate...

Hey there, ZaramMaldovar! I'm not a kensai expert, but I did solo no reload one through BG1 with SCS about 8 years ago. Pick up the Shield Amulet from the merchant at the carnival. That's a limited charge item that will give you a base AC of 4 with a -2 adjustment vs missiles, comparable to...
