5e is fun over 20 levels.
Paizo produce great adventures.
Editing is a ton of work.
Having people listen and interact is a blast.
Playing rpgs with old friends is the best.

Last week, after six and a half years, we finished (finished!) the Age of Worms.
And today, 284 shows and 200,000 downloads later, we released our final episode (until the next thing)
What did we learn?

And to encourage ourselves to finally finish something, we decided to record our sessions, edit them, and - in a startling move for a bunch of Gen X men - release them as a podcast. We had no idea how to do that and it showed.
We released ep1 on 6th December 2019.

In the summer of 2019 we thought we would try the Age of Worms adventure path from the old Dungeon magazine. We decided to convert from 3e to 5e and see how 5e played over 20 levels..

Our group has been playing rpgs since school in the late 70s. In all that time we never really finished any long campaigns. We loved trying new things, new systems, new adventures. We once got close to finishing Runelords.

The closest we’ve got is DungeonBowl. We used to play regularly and broke out of the board game rules to add individual player stories, traits etc.. which developed from match to match. Bit the focus was always on the ‘sport’ itself. Ist ed DB rules were ace.
