... Since it's unsure when or if this game will continue, I think a conclusion would be nice. ...
That is a good point. I might be resisting setting a conclusion because I fear it will make it less likely that we continue, but I did also worry that, in the event of this being the end, it is not very satisfying.

It does seem best wrap it up and deal with continuing if/when it happens.
TheGenerator says:
... The system was maybe a bit too basic, but also didn't matter to me. I'd rather have a good story that's easy to follow instead of complex rules and ooc number crunching. ...
Agreed.

The shallowness of the rules can result in a bit more OOC than a more defined system. In a full-fledged PbtA system the players at least know the sorts of moves they can engage in and the sorts of outcomes they can expect, whereas here we need to first discuss these things each time we need to roll. This is less of an issue with the low frequency of rolls that I generally call for in my games, though.

... I was also imagining a description of the party that was paid for. ...
I was planning on leaving that mostly up to the players, with my usual filling in of any details that are still needed.

Understood. It was really good playing with you.

Do you want to know how things turn out for Norbert? In what level of detail and for how long into his future? Do you want to tell us what happens or do you want me to lay some groundwork and structure for that?

Thank you for joining us.

Ah, I see. I'm fine with that, but it's a bit difficult cause I'd have questions like "Would Asha and the captain be able to attend?" "Is there enough food and drink for everyone?" "Is anyone oddly not present?"
If we're allowed to fill that in any way we want, then I'll be happy to. 🙂

Seems like I missed the part where we got a shitload of money (other than that we used for leveling up)
But it doesn't matter. Roald would probably give it away too.

We didn't. I just hadn't leveled up Albert yet. So he still had that money ;)
I'm hoping this will count as "spending money not on yourself" to have him level.
You spent your money on the party if I'm not mistaken.

I would say that Albert's spending the money on bettering the valley rather than himself counts in the same way that Roald's spending the money on the celebration did.

Both of you get to level up. Level 2 is not very interesting, but does make you tougher. Note it down on your sheets.
Roald and Albert both have CON 0, so things are simple, you now roll 2d6 and keep 2d6 for your HP.

@TheGenerator: Do you want to continue any of the interactions you alluded to in your post? We should maybe leave the captain's information about the horned-wolf for when we pick this up again —though I can exposition-dump it now if you guys want— the others, we can assume, go as you planned: Olaf (with Limpy and Lady, and possible Barky) set up your shrine/temple/bar to Raynor, and that has significant positive impact on the valley going forward; Your scathing words to the mayor start people thinking the he is not so powerful and sparks the revolution needed to oust him.

We can pick up on the Ahsa issue when we resume? Unless you guys really want answers now?

Yay! :D

No, The information that you gave in your post here is exactly what I was looking for. Just a narration of what happened next.
Albert will probably already be gone before that shrine is finished.

I'd like to move towards being able to research the horned wolf and the temple. I think you're right when you say Ahsa's story will distract us from that.

If we do want to first focus on the part with Ahsa, I'm hoping that it will at least also inform us about the horned wolf in a different way.
How are you feeling about the game right now, vague? Still enjoying the GM role? Anything we as players can do to help out?
Are you still thinking of switching to a different system?
My games here have quieted down now. I'm only in 2 active games compared to the 4 I was in before. And that 1 other game is a pretty slow going one. So I can give more time to the Fresh Faced Adventurers again. :)
I'm not planning on picking up new games again (unless there's a one-shot that really feel right up my alley)

I figure that would be 'next'.

OK, let's make it so it will 'motivate' you to do the horned-wolf and temple quests. Your characters may be distracted, but we can make it such that it forces them to deal with the other issues to 'fix' this one.

That sounds good to me :)

Should we recruit new fresh faced players?

I'm fine with whatever you come up. I think it's early for a marriage, but hey, these kids today go fast.

Thanks again for a great story.

We can leave it undefined and brimming with potential, you can imagine whatever you fancy as possible outcomes.

I am able to play on, but if you want to take a break, we can still do that. That's fine by me. I'll be here to get started again when we're ready :)
