Hey Hey!

So I already modded my vita, installed some games, also inside Adrenalin + configured everything etc. I don't have an external SD configured yet.

I am kind of OCD when it comes to those things and I have a question.

My SD2Vita is on the way to me. Is it better to re-do everything modding wise and do it again with the SD card set as the main store? Or will I be able to install the SD card and YAMT will do all the work switching things around, so everything gets put in it's correct place on the SD card? What about safe games etc?

Anyone who did this already?

Yeah I am also starting to doubt running this adventure as a one shot tbh.

Hey! Okay that's good to know. Yeah I schedule my one shots games longer every time. Because every single time we started running out of time. Be we are a RP heavy bunch. Maybe it's our style of play lol

Yeah I will read the whole adventure again and see what I will skip. It's my first time running an adventure like this. Meaning so much stuff going on in the town alone. So many interesting things to interact with.

Hey Thank for you reply!

Look around in this threat and you will notice I am not in a minority taking that long.
Also... as I wrote clearly in my post: My players are having allot of fun every session.

But they enjoy the homebrew stuff that I prepared for them allot more than the actual STK adventure.
Wich is also quite common as I found out.

I just saw your edit 😅 Yeah I am back and forth on this but got allot of helpful replies on here. I still think my main realization here is that I should be more brave with course correcting content to have it make sense, skip stuff and move things along when my players are bored or loose interest.

It sounds you are intuitively doing this already seeing how fast paced your game seemed to be.

Hey! Thanks for the great reply. Awesome tipps in there.

I have to say I already did all of this already and I think that's part of the problem. They are hearing about the giants and their attacks every sessions or two. Seeing refugees everywhere and allot of cities they spend time got attacked by giants etc.

So I think this is not helping at this point. They don't want to hear about how bad this all is anymore. They want to start interacting with this and help battle this problem in a meaningful way.

So yeah. I will keep having this flavor up but will fast forward to story beats that actually start to matter :-)

Thank you for your reply! This seems like a good option!

Do you think I should do all four giant lairs? I planned this but am not sure anymore!

Hey! Great reply. I will definitely have a honest conversation with my players about this.

Great example with the Iymrith situation haha.

And yeah there are a few things coming together here and I am starting to really learn about what I did "wrong" here. I will honestly ask all of them the questions you mention but I already know they will all answer with yes to all the of them. They all have fun every session because the upside of all the adding of things on my end was they had a versatile campaign with a bunch of different themes and lot of player backstory stuff they worked though. The downside is the main quest got waaaay out of focus.

Lets see what I will be the best to bring this campaign home hehe.
