I want to get a feel for your preferred reading style.

Quotes are fine for now but I think you eventually have to do a narrative story to complete the whole story.  It is a cool changes of pace.  So I guess I will vote quotes but hope it ends in a narrative.

I think a mix works best.

A Sequel to the biggest event in Habololy history...

We know what happens, but what we don't know is how it happens, or who survives...

Get ready for...

Does that mean we're not gaming in April, May, and June after the Grean campaign ends or do you have something else post-snap planned for us?

So we've already won..  what's the point?

We will be gaming.  The SNAP 2 is for fun and to see who survives, and so I don't have to write out pages of story.  But, as Zunder noted, we know what the big takeaway is: Kallark is defeated.  So we can play a season without problem.

It will give everyone a chance to use EPIC characters, so start you leveling!  Nice how it worked out that each player has at least one character...

Will you be posting adjusted levels to the characters or will DM Whitesword for those of us who have someone from his campaign still around?

I’ve never seen any of the Bill and Ted movies, but the matrix movie is an odd choice as nothing really happens. AoU is the obvious choice.

I was trying to rate them from good to bad as sequels.

I’d put AoU far ahead of Temple of Doom. It’s a prequel-sequel that makes many elements of Raiders (my favorite movie of all time) far less believable.

I didn't knowbwhat your were going for.  I thought you were talking about the style or outcome of the movie.  That is why I picked AoU.  I didn't pick empire because I did not want the bad guys to win.

But we already know the good guys win since Kallark was defeated.

I picked bogus because I assumed some of us would die.. and therefor it would be bogus.  Unless that is, you are going to let someone build robots of the fallen heros.. Then.. that's why I picked it.

Still didn't necessarily mean that it couldn't be like Empire Strike Back and maybe we find that another Bad guy wins.

As the Company are walking to the Magikowner Shop, Dovin and Acyll are having a discussion at the rear of the group. As the discussion becomes more heated they lag further and further behind. Before the Company reaches the door Acyll says “Alright, but I am making clear I think it’s a bad idea. It is the one thing he probably, as a renegade power of magic, hasn’t forgotten about and would likely attract his attention.”

Dovin says: “Excuse me everyone, as I don’t know most of you, really at all, I wasn’t sure I should mention this, but before we go into the Shop I think this is my last chance. Lord Ari and Rubius know this, but there is an artifact that could greatly assist us in this task and it’s in the custody of the Kingdom, in the vault at Castle Gemblade. It’s called a Dabau’s Ring. Falan’s followers brought it to Habololy to perform the Severing ritual.  In Kallark’s divine realm it won’t render him powerless, but it will cut him off from some of his abilities and prevent him from extradimensional escape.  The downside, as Acyll points out, is it’s the only one on Habololy and Lyla and Kallark almost certainly know either the Kingdom or the Guardians have it, so they may have a way of being alerted if it comes out of the vault.”

The death toll from that SNAP part 2 appears to be high, but after the success of the Company of the Long Odds, Iott's power was broken and not too soon return.  Habololy charts a new course in the 4th era.

As for the heroes that made it happen, what is their legacy, how are they remembered, did any miraculously make it out?

Those questions will be answered in the seasons to come...
