Here's the second part of the story ( Read more... )

This was originally going to be two posts encompassing four game sessions, but things turned out a bit different. The game ran more like 6-7 sessions and I've been too lazy to get it written up completely. I was going to do it in one big post but that didn't get done either. So now here's the first part of two or so. Here goes ( Read more... )

I've been poking around Board Game Geeks trying to decide what I should get to start my new phase in gamership and found this. An interesting concept, sadly there's no review or even any for sale. The info page says it was produced in 1980 by TSR! They had their hands in all kinds of stuff before D&D became the cash cow. If it's done well I ( Read more... )

All this hullabaloo with 4th edition D&D along with the fact that the RPG'ers here don't mix well with my style of gaming have lead me to consider becoming a board game geek. I've been interested in board games for years, fancy stuff like Shogun, Axis and Allies, etc., RPG spending has always taken precedence though. One of the other things that' ( Read more... )

This only strengthens my feelings that I should switch to a different system. There's already two other guys running 3.5 games and another guy strongly thinking about starting another one. I think I'd be better off picking a different system to run rather than adding to the d20 glut.

This game is officially over. Bad session last night. The group decided to try to pose as Higharch scouts after dispatching a squad of them and dumping the bodies down a hole. One player stormed out after accusing me of planning their demise from the beginning. The others encouraged me to continue with new characters but as my reader no doubt ( Read more... )

This was the first session with the new batch of characters as well as our April Fools episode. I had forgotten about April Fools but managed to come up with something amusing.

The group started in the Wiggling Fairy, one of the local pubs and "the bar". They were impressed with the eldritch giant bartending subbing for the regular guy. (We ( Read more... )

Game Update 5

OK, so I've been slacking on the updates. I've got three sessions to write up and I'll break them out into separate posts for clarity. The first one is the trial session.

I started with having the characters booted out of bed at an early hour by Renomas and a squad of guards. The group was placed under arrest for kidnapping and ( Read more... )

When the watch came to investigate Slerak's room all they found was a stained table and some charred pouches in the fireplace. Ashtar had disposed of the pouches when Slerak didn't return in a timely fashion1. The next day the group traveled to the canton where Slerak was held and sat in on his trial. His story was that he received the pouches ( Read more... )
