Well, I decided not to go back and reread the Freeport Trilogy already, at least not yet. Both of the "flaky" players that caused me to think we needed to have a backup campaign confirmed that they're in on Saturday, so we're back to our normal Tyranny of Dragons for at least another week.
Both of the other characters wanted to create elvish characters, which for a a low fantasy pirate themed game is... well, not ideal. But I didn't tell them that they couldn't, so it's on me if I don't like it. Luckily, I'm pretty sure that "elves" this case will just mean "short, thin pretty humans with pointy ears and no beards."
I admit, this above is a little bit more what I had in mind. I guess maybe the concept below isn't too different from that...
Could be worse. In any case, looks like it's a little delayed. Don't know when the first session would be. The good news is, the husband/wife team that would be playing these characters seem pretty excited about it. I only hope that they're not disappointed at having to run instead of play! I really didn't want to come across like I was trying to take over their campaign, more that I was trying to offer an alternative for when we struggled to schedule with the full 5-person group, which seemed to be frequently.
Maybe what I should do in the meantime is actually read what's next on my Freeport Trawl. It's been pretty long since I've done anything there...
