I know aside from Ognimir's combat we have been short on rolls, is everyone ok with how things are progressing?

Also @Rabbits I would be ok with a little time distortion to have Ognimir rejoin the group soon.

I'm indifferent to rolls as long as the story is progressing nicely, as this one seems to be. Indeed, I think that wise play in OSR-style games tends to avoid rolls; if you're doing a lot of rolling, you've probably messed up somehow.

Yes, bring Ognimir back in when you see fit-- he's had quite a bit of spotlight, so I'm also OK if the camera focuses on the other PC's for a while.

That's my sentiment as well. Things are progressing nicely. I am having loads of fun.

I particularly like the guidance in Maze Rats where it says to roll "if the action is risky and difficult to resolve through the description." I take this "difficult to resolve" part as the GM honestly doesn't know how that action would result-- and the dice are there to help inform the GM.

Question for you: how much of a mystery/investigation should we expect? I get the sense there is an interesting situation in Limm that needs to be uncovered-- but I'm not sure if you're going to dole out the information to us during play, or if you are expecting a full-on investigative type game. (Not sure if I'm explaining myself very well.)

In some games, the mystery is just hand-waved. The game is more interested in what the characters choose to do once they have all the information, rather than getting the information itself.

In other games (e.g., Call of Cthulhu) getting into the mystery is the whole point.

I'm good either way. But I think I'll run Ognimir a bit differently depending on the tone you're looking for.

This completely. I'm of the mind that rolls should only happen when the outcome is unclear--as others have said. Or when there is a legit risk of something going wrong that'll be narrative changing.

But of course rolling is fun. LOL

I think it may be enjoyable for you to track down the information, which will be provided by various people. I'm not going to make it terribly difficult to get, but I think it would be a bit unfair to simply dump it on you without some kind of NPC interaction to entertain you.

"Make way! Outta the way! Guardian business! I said move you bumpkin!" and runs back into the chill evening, toward the where he and Ognimir had parted.
"Guardian business" is great. :)
