[...] (NOTE: I borrowed the framework of an introductory Candlewick story from the author of the campaign, Benjamin Baugh, who ran a similar scenario at DragonCon for Ross, et al. That game, which is hilarious, and well worth a listen, can be found here.) [...]

I liked yours better Ross.

I feel like after breakfast things REALLY fell apart.

But I did like the One Roll tutorial in the beginning, helped me out a lot.

I enjoyed the session. I’m thinking about running a Monsters game for my friends and the tutorial was very informative. I would love to hear more Monsters APs.

Loved the chef.
“Are you sure you didn’t hurt this guy?”
“No, it was painless…I mean I had nothing to do with it!”

Not as much happened as I normally expect from a con game. The tutorial is probably useful for others, it didn’t teach me anything that the book didn’t.
The weird powers that the kids have is an interesting new mechanic and I think it might be helpful in getting more of my players involved in the game since some of them don’t care for monsters as much.
The best part of this, for me, was that hour or so right as the grounds keeper shows up (most enjoyable NPC ever) until everyone was down the hole. The kitchen stuff was funny then things sort of tended down. I think Ben said he was trying to build to something dramatic and he lost the thread when everybody started pushing toilets through the ceiling.
