SO I did something similar in my Darkening of Mirkwood campaign when we cleared the Greydelve. We went to various towns and used encounters to raise support based on how successful the encounter went. I used that to determine the size of our army for the final battle, which I ran using the Mythic Battle rules.

Cool! How did it go/how did the players seem to like it?

I think they liked it. I felt like it went well and forced them to use some of their social skills more to effect the outcome of the battle.

I like that (bringing in situations where skills other than "slay" are important). Good to hear.

I'm still here.

I feel rushed in a bunch of ways, and some games are getting the short end of my attention. Sorry.

Alright. I lied.

I'm going to put this game on break. I'm finding my motivation for it waning greatly. Othniel, sorry, but if you want we can find another game for you.
