This ends a long-form campaign, Zen and the Art of Caravan Maintenance. I’m actually writing this in 2025, but leaving it dated when the campaign finished. I finally got burnt out running this campaign, and the players and I decided we’d stop. We had a closing session and discussed what the characters would go on to do: Joshua wants to operate the island and travel onward Emmett wants to improve relations between the PPs and Lime Nomads, and the last serai criminal gang He says he’s a pragmatist Joshua would resurrect Lateria too if possible Lessons learned This campaign became more about trading favours not actual goods or gold. The players weren’t too fussed about finding good trade routes, or combat particularly. ...

Do I like Foundry as a Virtual Table Top? Yes, love it. Do I recommend it to others? Uh, well, it depends on your definition of “recommend” 😬 Some idle screaming-into-the-void on Mastodon prompted a conversation with the Old Scouser Roleplayer about my Foundry setup, and I realised I end up typically saying the same thing a lot about Foundry: It is a beautiful product, especically for crunchier games You will absolutely get distracted with doors, and sight lines and music, and audio effects, and away from the actual game It is an utter pain to use securely.
