My party is deep in the Mere of Dead Men (legally distinct from The Dead Marshes!), hot on the trail of lizard folk carrying treasure for the hoard of her Five-Headed Majesty, Tiamat, Queen of the Dragons, currently imprisoned in the Nine Hells. As it turns out, several of them don't want to work for the cult anymore, so now we're in the middle of ( Read more... )

It's been a weird day. It's been a weird week, frankly. I blame the fact that I was working from home for most of it and thus have the impression that I got nothing done ( Read more... )

This week just flew by, holy shit.  I have been watching the finale of the second campaign of Critical Role, but it's a monster episode--over seven hours long!--so I expect I won't have finished it before the end of the weekend. It's been a very satisfying finale so far, with lots of deep emotional resolution for some really fraught characters arcs ( Read more... )

 We're playing the live game tonight (the one that streams on Twitch), and it's been a very roleplay-heavy session. We have a pair of brothers who are very close (and bicker constantly), and one brother has just found out that the other one is basically going to die unless they can find someone to cast a reincarnation spell. We're only level 8, so ( Read more... )

We're actually playing Honey Heist because we're missing a player, but we've done a D&D/Honey Heist mashup with Curse of Strahd, and so far our adventures in "Bearovia" have been hilarious. A bunch of semi-feral bears going up against Strad von Zarovich, noted apiculturist, in order to snag his delicious and much-prized honey! The puns abound, and ( Read more... )

My Saturday night game is actually running tonight. We skipped several sessions, so I kind of forgot that was a thing I do every second Saturday. We're off to Candlekeep to do research on the sudden infestation of Illithids in Waterdeep, and to visit the mother of two of the party members. So far so good ( Read more... )

That subject line sounds more enthusiastic than I am currently feeling, tbh, but I'm hoping my mood will improve once the game starts. It was a bit of a rough day at work, brain-wise. A bunch of things I thought I had under control kind of blew up in my face, and I spiraled a little bit back into "Oh God I don't know what I'm doing, I am a total ( Read more... )

Today I slept in, stayed home, hung out with Peggy. I napped in the afternoon because I was supposed to play D&D tonight, but it got cancelled at the last minute, so I watched Blood Quantum instead (it's really good but very depressing) and am now watching an interview with Matthew Mercer of Critical Role before bed ( Read more... )

 We're actually mostly starting on time tonight, so I'm going to keep this post very short ( Read more... )

 We are fighting bandits! I think we're going to win. :)

I will come back with something more meaningful tomorrow.

Good night everyone!
