Yup, saw it a year ago to the week anyway. Good movie, very fun.

Supposedly they are calling the new D&D One D&D and it is going to be very similar to 5e just cleaned up some. I heard rumor they are doing away with alignment and racial bonuses but not sure if that is true.

For strange pursuit, I’m thinking let Andreas track. We have location descriptions if he loses the trail.

FYI. The terrain here isn't hard or rocky. It's mixed grassland and trees and bushes savannah.

Tracking
A skill check is required every 2
miles. Adjust the character's skill score by: -3
if the area is hard or rocky; -6 if the trail
leads through a large town or across a river
(only if the quarry moved up or down stream);
-1 if the quarry is indians; +6 if the quarry is
indians in a town. If it rains, the trail is
wiped out. If the trail is lost, it can be recovered
by making a skill check with an additional
-4 modifier, one check per hour.

People might multiple, trying to cover bases.

So I will be going into surgery tomorrow (Friday). Its a 2-3 hour surgery and 2-3 days in the hosp with 3-5 weeks off work. Please npc me appropriately until I am more coherent.

Hey all, I am reading the forums, I don't feel good enough to post, but wanted to let you know all was a success, just recovering now.

Sorry, guys, got sick with a cold/sick thing. Be back posting again very soon. Are the protagonists trying to find trouble? Or is trouble trying to find them? These things await to seen in "Strange Pursuit," "Comancher," and "Have Gun Will Travel." To be continued....

Right, tracking checks are made every 2 miles. In this case, movement through hilly areas is at 2 miles per hour, so it works out neatly. If the roll succeeds, you move forward 2 miles that hour. If it fails, you move forward 0 miles that hour and instead spend the time searching for sign. (That's at -4 to succeed, by the way. Pretty tough).

Andreas' first roll took the group forward 2 more miles. And then he lost the sign and couldn't find it again before half an hour before dark. The group is 14 miles SSW of Burnet at the end of the second day.

Oh, i didn't realize were stalled until a good roll came. I thught we could just travel in the direction last indicated by the tracks and try again farther out
