I volunteer at a teen center running a DnD game twice a month for the kids. So I'm running them through the MSQ of FFXIV 1.0. The crazy thing about it is that these kids weren’t even alive when 1.0 dropped. I've run 4 sessions so far and the kids are Thal's balls deep into the lore already. They absolutely LOVE it. They spent twenty minutes on deciding which of the Twelve would be their Patron and what nation they would be from alone.Having said all that, I’d like to share with you their adventures. I’ll keep it to the essential beats of their adventures, as we already know who the various NPC’s are.
I have taken a FEW liberties with how the plot plays itself out. Kids having total freedom to do what they want means they don't follow an on-rails plot. By and large I'm keeping to the MSQ. If things are missing, its cause their dice roles were terrible. I'm only going to dumb the first 4 sessions now. The rest will come as they play over time. (assuming this post doesn't violate the specific sub forum). Hopefully yall find enjoyment out of their antics.
Players so far:
N'ganni, Keeper of the Sun, Miqo'te, MAR, primary weapon: Glaive and Great Axe
Poisoner Ivac, Hellsguard, Rogedayn, THM, primary weapon, Quarterstaff
Session 1
N’ganni was hired out of Limsa to guard shipments from Vesper Bay to Ul'dah. The trip was so uneventful she was able to catch a catnap on the last stretch into the city. This was a mistake as she was still groggy on arrival and almost failed to notice the gobbue which had somehow gotten loose. With the assistance of a knife wielding Hyur bard and a Rogedayn thaumaturge, the gobbue was subdued. Sadly not before it severely injured several bystanders.
The thaumaturge introduced himself as Poisoner Ivac, a scholar from Ishgard. Both he and N'maggi were curious as to what caused the control ring to fail and the gobbue to go berserk. Following several leads, and a few conversations with a Miqo’te named Flahminn, they headed north to Camp Black Brush.
