We execute our plan to get—wait for it—out of the abyss.

We are bad at planning prison breaks — somehow we settle on an escape plan — actual D&D.

This episode is more like a documentary on how people come up with goofy D&D plans. It's half an hour of us figuring out what in the world to do next. It seems to be mostly a process of throwing out the worst ideas we can think of and gradually trying to work out way up.

Starting Out of the Abyss proper — we're all going crazy — sure hope you like maggots.

This season, we're splitting our session into chunks so that we can have a more regular release schedule and also edit the episodes a little more thoroughly, which is to say, edit them at all. So this episode ends right as we are about to begin coming up with our escape plan.

We finish up the Lamentations of the Flame Princess module, Tower of the Stargazer. Show notes: http://ggnorecast.blogspot.com/2016/01/tower-of-stargazer-part-2-end.html.

Time for season 2.

This season, we have a DM switch. Jim is taking over the holy seat, and I'm playing a character.

I'm scared.

We talk about the upcoming campaign, optional / house rules, what to expect, and go over the starting PCs.

"RECRAP more like it" — 4E-ver — good start, not so great follow through — average damage for monsters is good — fan cuts of the Hobbit movies and the SW prequels — is only low level play good? — the Shackled City adventure path good at higher levels? — game companies need a user experience editor — destroy your PC's mini upon death, great idea — need better hooks, no "you are caravan guards" business — stop having rituals interrupted at climactic moment — changes for season 2 — there can be only one listener.

The cult strikes back, and then the party re-strikes back. We have Asa and Alex in the same room this time. Lots of quality banter this time. They really are OP for this content, which leads to some amusing moments. Less karaoke this episode.
