We're gonna play on Saturday at 8:00. Kyle, I know you don't get off work until 9:00, but I was figuring about 30 minutes to an hour prep time anyway. The prep time will be for Bryan mostly, to make a character and get acquainted with SAME. We'll be playing until everybody leaves.
That is all.

Soapbox - Things are winding down!
As we near Thanksgiving, I feel it is my obligation to pad this sad little menagerie of failure that is our gaming blog, as the rest of you have yet to pony up and give something to the community (of course Kyle is exempt from this verbal thrashing.) I am only one man, people. While I certainly am capable of providing content for the blog, much of it would be impertinent and, frankly, boring to behold.
Still, while you all sit back and enjoy watching this vessel of ideas sink beneath the black fathoms, this ol' captain's not letting it go down without a fight. So, ha, pansies.
Anyway. I'm starting a few newbies on the hobby in two weeks, and I figured I could squeeze some help from you sods. That's right, I insult then request. That's how I's be doing mah bidness.
When we start our first gathering on the 17th, I intend to go on a long diatribe dispelling many misconceptions of the genre; namely, class association (Conan's a Rogue) , time-period confusion (it's Grecian-Roman fantasy instead of Medieval) and spell system haziness (spell-components are a joke).
After I'm done being an idiot and after they're done asking me stupid questions such as "Can I be a Fire demon?," I intend to do a lengthy adventure that should take them up to 4th or 5th level.
This is what I've got planned so far.
___
The Bronze Colossus
For generations, the lands of Corsinia were menaced by the Bronze Colossus. This immense marvel of machinery and engineering was a moving mountain styled in human features. It could level cities with one swipe of its gigantic arms, and did so rather frequently.
A few hundred years ago, however, the machine broke down and sank underneath the earth, so that only its 20-meter head was the only thing left aboveground. As things would have it, people began to venture inside the hollow Colossus in search of knowledge and valuables tucked away in its depths.
They would be surprised to know that while the Bronze Colossus had stopped destroying their houses, the machinery inside continued to run. This lead to an awful lot of deaths, so people stopped bothering to go inside it. Some of what was inside was taken, but what lay farther beneath still remains to be taken by those stupid enough to venture inward.
___
The placed would be laden with "traps" that are just the moving parts of the Colossus, such as gears and burst piping. The major "treasures" would be the heart of the machine (a magical urn that spreads fluid into the bronze "veins" coursing throughout the entire structure), the fire-wrought engines placed at each joint (literally a big bunch of magical fire put under the pipes to heat the fluid to create steam that pushed rods, and in turn, the gears that moved the colossus).
Any suggestions? What would you guys want to see out of an adventure like this?
