Dolene was eventually successful and the warlord tossed Jolly out of the court. ++ ++ In our session, we broke out of gladiator's prison, crossed the city, and made it to Shatterglass, an abandoned obsidian mine and outpost of the Veiled Alliance, an organization dedicated to freeing the slave cities of Athas. ++ ++ We found what was left of my crew there.

Besides little updates to existing entries such as this one. That is, if I want to run the numbers and see how many individual sessions I have played over the course of a year, I don't really have any easy way to do that. I shall ponder this. ++ ++ Anyway, huge session last night. The culimation of our last year of playing. Let me catch you up: ++ ++ The city-state of Thanalas is ruled by a cruel despot. Martok, a cannibal halfling with psionic powers in a world of little to no magic. And we're trying to overthrow him and give the city back to the people. So we rallied a bunch of townies to our cause. And we waited until the night of the Lunar Veil, this big parade + festival celebrating the rare full double eclipse of the sun by the planet's two moons, to stage the coup. BUT some terrorists, the Ghostflame Syndicate, planted a bunch of bombs in the parade floats to wreck the coup and damage the cause. But we found them and defused them. And meanwhile a couple of us got caught in Martok's private viewing box in the gladiatorial arena. (We had just executed on a plan to assassinate Martok by spiking his drink with the one half of the explosive components of the Ghostflame's bombs, and lacing his food with the other half. So after he eats and drinks them... BIO BOMB.) And the rest of us have just found out that our pal Valtor, the hugely popular and renowned gladiator, is in cahoots with the Ghostflames and got them access to the parade and the coliseum to plant all the bombs. ++ ++ And that's where we are now. ++ ++ A whole bunch of stuff happens in parallel. Dakka gets roped into working the announcer booth for the gladiatorial games, pulling off a bunch of Vicious Mockery and Bardic Inspiration through the giant announcer's horn. At one point, our man Henry shows up in the booth and is like, Hey boss what's this? And shows Dakka one of the bombs. Turns out there are dozens of them planted in the stands. Which are packed with people. Dakka announces a competition, tells everybody to look under their seats and if they find a little hourglass shaped thing, CAREFULLY bring it to the announcer's booth WITHOUT letting the sands in the two halves mix for the chance to win a Fabulous Prize! This is maybe the most dangerous thing Dakka has ever done. ++ ++ Meanwhile, Lucia is running around running all kinds of stuff behind the scenes. Kale, head of the Ghostflames, summons her for an audience and asks her to kill Martok. She's like, gosh that's TOTALLY not already part of our plans and is totally inconvenient, gosh. But she accepts. Then Zara---a old pal of Jolly's from the Veiled Alliance freedom fighter group---shows up in the crowd and approaches Lucia. She tells her the thri-kreen are IN the arena. (We have a kinship bond with the thri-kreen after rescuing their eggs from the ankheg.) They have buried themselves in the sand and will wait for our signal to leap out and attack. When she hears the "competition" announced over the horn, she runs up to the announcer's booth, teaches our man Henry how to disarm the bombs, and sends him out to find as many as possible. Eventually, he and his boys disarm about a dozen. And about a dozen more are turned into the booth for prizes. ++ ++ Meanwhile, Darragh, our champion, is prepping for the final event. It's her versus Valtor. She delivers a pep talk to some of the civilians who have been conscripted / forced into being gladiators. (After we ourselves escaped from the arena, Martok captured a bunch of commoners and forced them to fight in our place.) They are being forced to fight seasoned guards and gladiators in a re-enactment (to the death!) of the ancient battle at the temple, where the execution of Rajat shattered the sun and drained magic from the world, an event to which we are mystically bound and have had visions of. Darragh's pep talk, and her bribing one of the guards to join the commoner's side, lead to the commoners narrowly defeating the guards in a dramatic and very unlikely upset. Then it's finally time for the main event. ++ ++ Jolly and Diablo have been entertaining Martok, his personal bodyguard Grak, and a couple of guards this whole time in Martok's personal box. A lot of deception and sleight of hand and luck have made this go fairly well. He noshes on the laced grubs. And as the final event starts, he cracks open the bottle of his finest wine. Which is the drink spiked with the catalyst. He toasts, and downs the drink, and he fucking EXPLODES. Jolly and Diablo dive behind the thick oak bathroom door and avoid most of the blast. They're stuck in there now though, so they escape down the poop chute and end up outside the arena. ++ ++ Simultaneously, Darragh and Valtor square off out on the arena. A dozen guards encircle them, and behind each of them is chained a giant ten foot tall scorpion to force them into close quarters. Darragh immediately gives the signal, and the sands rumble, and over a dozen thri-kreen warriors emerge from the sand and start wrecking the gladiators. Darragh easily dispatches Valtor and when she grabs his scimitar it burns her hand and sears her mind. ++ ++ When Martok's booth explodes, Grak the half-giant (with whom we have a lot of personal beef) is thrown from the booth, through the air, and lands on the arena floor far below. He survives, but just barely. Only for Lucia in passing to magically catapult a small stone through his skull. ++ ++ An over-excited fan shakes her hourglass in the stands, and blows several rows of seats to kingdom come, and also blows a hole in the side of the arena. Disastrous. But also the only unintended explosion after recovering two dozen something bombs? ++ ++ And that's where we ended.

Dolene was eventually successful and the warlord tossed Jolly out of the court. -+ -+ In our session, we broke out of gladiator's prison, crossed the city, and made it to Shatterglass, an abandoned obsidian mine and outpost of the Veiled Alliance, an organization dedicated to freeing the slave cities of Athas. -+ -+ We found what was left of my crew there. Zax was a husk. his mind had been wiped. And the others had been dragged deeper into the mines. -+ -+ Following the trails, we found a strange tableau. Thri-keen eggs had been arranged around the bodies of Verin and Zara. As we approached, a horror burst from the ground and attacked us. -+ -+ So yeah! Super excited! It's been about 8 years we determined since we've all played together. and Keegs is a super crafty dm. There are battle maps and minis, and he gives everybody dossiers for character sheets and notes, and sometimes he crafts huge stage pieces for the map. it's all really quite impressive. -+ -+ **Update 2024-01-27**: So I just realized a couple of things. 1) it's been almost 1.25 years since we started this campaign already!! and, 2) the way this gamelog---which, according to my git log, I've been keeping since 2021-12-23---is set up, I don't really have any way to keep track of individual sessions of an ongoing campaign in a meaningful way. Besides little updates to existing entries such as this one. That is, if I want to run the numbers and see how many individual sessions I have played over the course of a year, I don't really have any easy way to do that. I shall ponder this. -+ -+ Anyway, huge session last night. The culimation of our last year of playing. Let me catch you up: -+ -+ The city-state of Thanalas is ruled by a cruel despot. Martok, a cannibal halfling with psionic powers in a world of little to no magic. And we're trying to overthrow him and give the city back to the people. So we rallied a bunch of townies to our cause. And we waited until the night of the Lunar Veil, this big parade + festival celebrating the rare full double eclipse of the sun by the planet's two moons, to stage the coup. BUT some terrorists, the Ghostflame Syndicate, planted a bunch of bombs in the parade floats to wreck the coup and damage the cause. But we found them and defused them. And meanwhile a couple of us got caught in Martok's private viewing box in the gladiatorial arena. (We had just executed on a plan to assassinate Martok by spiking his drink with the one half of the explosive components of the Ghostflame's bombs, and lacing his food with the other half. So after he eats and drinks them... BIO BOMB.) And the rest of us have just found out that our pal Valtor, the hugely popular and renowned gladiator, is in cahoots with the Ghostflames and got them access to the parade and the coliseum to plant all the bombs. -+ -+ And that's where we are now. -+ -+ A whole bunch of stuff happens in parallel. Dakka gets roped into working the announcer booth for the gladiatorial games, pulling off a bunch of Vicious Mockery and Bardic Inspiration through the giant announcer's horn. At one point, our man Henry shows up in the booth and is like, Hey boss what's this? And shows Dakka one of the bombs. Turns out there are dozens of them planted in the stands. Which are packed with people. Dakka announces a competition, tells everybody to look under their seats and if they find a little hourglass shaped thing, CAREFULLY bring it to the announcer's booth WITHOUT letting the sands in the two halves mix for the chance to win a Fabulous Prize! This is maybe the most dangerous thing Dakka has ever done. -+ -+ Meanwhile, Lucia is running around running all kinds of stuff behind the scenes. Kale, head of the Ghostflames, summons her for an audience and asks her to kill Martok. She's like, gosh that's TOTALLY not already part of our plans and is totally inconvenient, gosh. But she accepts. Then Zara---a old pal of Jolly's from the Veiled Alliance freedom fighter group---shows up in the crowd and approaches Lucia. She tells her the thri-kreen are IN the arena. (We have a kinship bond with the thri-kreen after rescuing their eggs from the ankheg.) They have buried themselves in the sand and will wait for our signal to leap out and attack. When she hears the "competition" announced over the horn, she runs up to the announcer's booth, teaches our man Henry how to disarm the bombs, and sends him out to find as many as possible. Eventually, he and his boys disarm about a dozen. And about a dozen more are turned into the booth for prizes. -+ -+ Meanwhile, Darragh, our champion, is prepping for the final event. It's her versus Valtor. She delivers a pep talk to some of the civilians who have been conscripted / forced into being gladiators. (After we ourselves escaped from the arena, Martok captured a bunch of commoners and forced them to fight in our place.) They are being forced to fight seasoned guards and gladiators in a re-enactment (to the death!) of the ancient battle at the temple, where the execution of Rajat shattered the sun and drained magic from the world, an event to which we are mystically bound and have had visions of. Darragh's pep talk, and her bribing one of the guards to join the commoner's side, lead to the commoners narrowly defeating the guards in a dramatic and very unlikely upset. Then it's finally time for the main event. -+ -+ Jolly and Diablo have been entertaining Martok, his personal bodyguard Grak, and a couple of guards this whole time in Martok's personal box. A lot of deception and sleight of hand and luck have made this go fairly well. He noshes on the laced grubs. And as the final event starts, he cracks open the bottle of his finest wine. Which is the drink spiked with the catalyst. He toasts, and downs the drink, and he fucking EXPLODES. Jolly and Diablo dive behind the thick oak bathroom door and avoid most of the blast. They're stuck in there now though, so they escape down the poop chute and end up outside the arena. -+ -+ Simultaneously, Darragh and Valtor square off out on the arena. A dozen guards encircle them, and behind each of them is chained a giant ten foot tall scorpion to force them into close quarters. Darragh immediately gives the signal, and the sands rumble, and over a dozen thri-kreen warriors emerge from the sand and start wrecking the gladiators. Darragh easily dispatches Valtor and when she grabs his scimitar it burns her hand and sears her mind. -+ -+ When Martok's booth explodes, Grak the half-giant (with whom we have a lot of personal beef) is thrown from the booth, through the air, and lands on the arena floor far below. He survives, but just barely. Only for Lucia in passing to magically catapult a small stone through his skull. -+ -+ An over-excited fan shakes her hourglass in the stands, and blows several rows of seats to kingdom come, and also blows a hole in the side of the arena. Disastrous. But also the only unintended explosion after recovering two dozen something bombs? -+ -+ And that's where we ended. Now you're caught up on a little over a year of D&D. - - +Created: 2023-02-16 +Game: 19 +Text: Been continuing to play this and enjoy it. It's been nice watching Zigs come into his own as a DM.

Just listen and you will know why." +> "You see, Rhahn Ald, the trickster, had quietly and discreetly been stealing magical items from the king's coffers, slowly, over the years, accumulating glamour that he used to increase his influence in the court, to weaken the God King's mind and make him reliant on him. My god (whose name I cannot say) eventually found out and threatened to expose Rhahn Ald. So the mad jester framed his best friend, and easily convinced the God King of his guilt." +> "So as punishment, everything was stolen from my god, including his name. The Court of the God King will only allow him to be referred to as the Evil Nemesis. (Bit dramatic don't you think?) He also had his handsome physique stolen from him: he now inhabits the form of a large, four-armed, purple worm. And he had his home and all his land stolen from him: he now resides in a damp cave. Most cruelly, he had his intellect stolen: he remains just barely aware of what he used to be, of what was taken from him. But his eloquence is gone. He is incapable of forming the words he needs to defend himself, or gather followers to his cause." +> Gliftwirp sighs sadly and nods. "My god was cursed and exiled because of the evil trickster god Rhahn Ald." +> "And in retribution for his wrongful suffering, his followers turn to holy acquisitions and righteous theft. Just as everything was taken from our beloved Evil Nemesis, so do we take and redistribute. And so we shall until he is redeemed and restored to his rightful place." +> Gliftwirp continues quietly to himself, under his breath, "Robble robble, Amen," and takes another bite of his hamburger. +> "I truly am happy that you get to know your falcon-headed god, Kiara.

    Tales of Athas (D&D)

    -

    Tales of Athas is a game of D&D that I started playing 2022-11-17 -as a Player. It is a in person Campaign and is currently Ongoing.

    -

    Here’s how it went!

    -

    an in person campaign with the old vulcamonos gang!

    -

    can’t believe it. very excite.

    -

    some real mad max / dune / acid death fantasy kind of world building -from Keegs, which is really cool. good for him. there’s a huge, cracked, -blistering sun; and two moons (they have names and everything but i -didn’t write them down). there are 9-ish ‘islands’ of earth in a ‘sea’ -of loose sand, so despite being in an unforgiving desert, there’s lots -of nautical imagery. different crafts that can sail on the silt sea.

    -

    we started out in prison with no items. as cliche as meeting in a -tavern, but fun. we felt underpowered and desperate.

    -

    i’m playing a lovable rogue based on dolly parton. her name is jolly -pardon. she grew up dirt poor in a one-room cabin in the (hills). one -day she was spotted by a traveling (prince) who was enchanted by her -singing. he whisked her off of to the court of the petty warlord, where -she grew very popular. her nemesis Dolene, however, grew jealous of her -and spread rumors to besmirch her reputation. Dolene was eventually -successful and the warlord tossed Jolly out of the court.

    -

    In our session, we broke out of gladiator’s prison, crossed the city, -and made it to Shatterglass, an abandoned obsidian mine and outpost of -the Veiled Alliance, an organization dedicated to freeing the slave -cities of Athas.

    -

    We found what was left of my crew there. Zax was a husk. his mind had -been wiped. And the others had been dragged deeper into the mines.

    -

    Following the trails, we found a strange tableau. Thri-keen eggs had -been arranged around the bodies of Verin and Zara. As we approached, a -horror burst from the ground and attacked us.

    -

    So yeah! Super excited! It’s been about 8 years we determined since -we’ve all played together. and Keegs is a super crafty dm. There are -battle maps and minis, and he gives everybody dossiers for character -sheets and notes, and sometimes he crafts huge stage pieces for the map. -it’s all really quite impressive.

    -

    Update 2024-01-27: So I just realized a couple of -things. 1) it’s been almost 1.25 years since we started this campaign -already!! and, 2) the way this gamelog—which, according to my git log, -I’ve been keeping since 2021-12-23—is set up, I don’t really have any -way to keep track of individual sessions of an ongoing campaign in a -meaningful way. Besides little updates to existing entries such as this -one. That is, if I want to run the numbers and see how many individual -sessions I have played over the course of a year, I don’t really have -any easy way to do that. I shall ponder this.

    -

    Anyway, huge session last night. The culimation of our last year of -playing. Let me catch you up:

    -

    The city-state of Thanalas is ruled by a cruel despot. Martok, a -cannibal halfling with psionic powers in a world of little to no magic. -And we’re trying to overthrow him and give the city back to the people. -So we rallied a bunch of townies to our cause. And we waited until the -night of the Lunar Veil, this big parade + festival celebrating the rare -full double eclipse of the sun by the planet’s two moons, to stage the -coup. BUT some terrorists, the Ghostflame Syndicate, planted a bunch of -bombs in the parade floats to wreck the coup and damage the cause. But -we found them and defused them. And meanwhile a couple of us got caught -in Martok’s private viewing box in the gladiatorial arena. (We had just -executed on a plan to assassinate Martok by spiking his drink with the -one half of the explosive components of the Ghostflame’s bombs, and -lacing his food with the other half. So after he eats and drinks them… -BIO BOMB.) And the rest of us have just found out that our pal Valtor, -the hugely popular and renowned gladiator, is in cahoots with the -Ghostflames and got them access to the parade and the coliseum to plant -all the bombs.

    -

    And that’s where we are now.

    -

    A whole bunch of stuff happens in parallel. Dakka gets roped into -working the announcer booth for the gladiatorial games, pulling off a -bunch of Vicious Mockery and Bardic Inspiration through the giant -announcer’s horn. At one point, our man Henry shows up in the booth and -is like, Hey boss what’s this? And shows Dakka one of the bombs. Turns -out there are dozens of them planted in the stands. Which are packed -with people. Dakka announces a competition, tells everybody to look -under their seats and if they find a little hourglass shaped thing, -CAREFULLY bring it to the announcer’s booth WITHOUT letting the sands in -the two halves mix for the chance to win a Fabulous Prize! This is maybe -the most dangerous thing Dakka has ever done.

    -

    Meanwhile, Lucia is running around running all kinds of stuff behind -the scenes. Kale, head of the Ghostflames, summons her for an audience -and asks her to kill Martok. She’s like, gosh that’s TOTALLY not already -part of our plans and is totally inconvenient, gosh. But she accepts. -Then Zara—a old pal of Jolly’s from the Veiled Alliance freedom fighter -group—shows up in the crowd and approaches Lucia. She tells her the -thri-kreen are IN the arena. (We have a kinship bond with the thri-kreen -after rescuing their eggs from the ankheg.) They have buried themselves -in the sand and will wait for our signal to leap out and attack. When -she hears the “competition” announced over the horn, she runs up to the -announcer’s booth, teaches our man Henry how to disarm the bombs, and -sends him out to find as many as possible. Eventually, he and his boys -disarm about a dozen. And about a dozen more are turned into the booth -for prizes.

    -

    Meanwhile, Darragh, our champion, is prepping for the final event. -It’s her versus Valtor. She delivers a pep talk to some of the civilians -who have been conscripted / forced into being gladiators. (After we -ourselves escaped from the arena, Martok captured a bunch of commoners -and forced them to fight in our place.) They are being forced to fight -seasoned guards and gladiators in a re-enactment (to the death!) of the -ancient battle at the temple, where the execution of Rajat shattered the -sun and drained magic from the world, an event to which we are -mystically bound and have had visions of. Darragh’s pep talk, and her -bribing one of the guards to join the commoner’s side, lead to the -commoners narrowly defeating the guards in a dramatic and very unlikely -upset. Then it’s finally time for the main event.

    -

    Jolly and Diablo have been entertaining Martok, his personal -bodyguard Grak, and a couple of guards this whole time in Martok’s -personal box. A lot of deception and sleight of hand and luck have made -this go fairly well. He noshes on the laced grubs. And as the final -event starts, he cracks open the bottle of his finest wine. Which is the -drink spiked with the catalyst. He toasts, and downs the drink, and he -fucking EXPLODES. Jolly and Diablo dive behind the thick oak bathroom -door and avoid most of the blast. They’re stuck in there now though, so -they escape down the poop chute and end up outside the arena.

    -

    Simultaneously, Darragh and Valtor square off out on the arena. A -dozen guards encircle them, and behind each of them is chained a giant -ten foot tall scorpion to force them into close quarters. Darragh -immediately gives the signal, and the sands rumble, and over a dozen -thri-kreen warriors emerge from the sand and start wrecking the -gladiators. Darragh easily dispatches Valtor and when she grabs his -scimitar it burns her hand and sears her mind.

    -

    When Martok’s booth explodes, Grak the half-giant (with whom we have -a lot of personal beef) is thrown from the booth, through the air, and -lands on the arena floor far below. He survives, but just barely. Only -for Lucia in passing to magically catapult a small stone through his -skull.

    -

    An over-excited fan shakes her hourglass in the stands, and blows -several rows of seats to kingdom come, and also blows a hole in the side -of the arena. Disastrous. But also the only unintended explosion after -recovering two dozen something bombs?

    -

    And that’s where we ended. Now you’re caught up on a little over a -year of D&D.

    Started Session 0 of GBML. Mal is GMing. And I’m playing alongside -tehfraga, el, deafgamer, and chantel. We did a whole lot of -worldbuilding, session planning, and character building. I was pretty -excited to play this game beforehand, but I gotta say I’m REALLY excited -to play it now! This game is part of the Lantern Light Adventures game -network. So it’s going to be streamed on twitch, and then published on -youtube and also as a podcast. It’s my first time playing anything quite -so public, so I’m a little bit nervous about it.

    This was a LTLT -OHOH with Sean and Florik. I -played Roderik the Frail (because I rolled abysmally low Stamina), a -librarian and amateur entomologist who wants to make a quick buck and to -capture some rare insects. Florik was Lonk the Lazy Jewelry Store Guard, -who just wants to go fishing. I don’t actually know what system Sean was -running, but it had the familiar Skill Stamina Luck format of Fighting -Fantasy, which I know he loves. Banter between Roderik and Lonk was -jolly good. Brain and muscle. We explored the dungeon, avoided the -Invisible Apes, captured a blind salamander, found a secret passage and -a hoard of jewels, and fought off a dwelf or dwarf-elf. (It was -“a bearded elf” that we rp-ed into being a dwarf / elf hybrid, yee-haw!) -10/10 would play again!

    -

    what is up this is a oneshot game that i played over two sessions -with a bunch of coworkers from the office. connor ran it and erin was -there and those were the only two i knew from our holiday oneshot and -everybody else was new. we were all potential heirs to lady longbottom’s -fortune and all we had to do was survive one night in her weird spooky -haunted house. we used betrayal at the house on haunted hill to -procedurally randomly generate the house. that part was pretty fun. it -made it feel like a classic traditional dungeon crawl which is a style -of play with which i actually have no real experience. we just showed -up, gelled as a party, and started exploring. i played professor -plum—that is, christopher lloyd from the movie clue—a bumbling wild -magic sorcerer which is one of my favorite classes to bring to a level 1 -game. and i was a firbolg silverquill initiate. didn’t get up to too -many hijinks but did get to wild magic surge twice, turning myself blue -and casting confusion on myself. dm brought the optional sanity rules -from the dmg. consequently i lost control of my character a couple -times, which resulted in me downing one of my party. he turned out fine. -i fell off the top of the tower not once but twice. and then the guy i -downed fell off the tower and fell on me and downed me. what goes around -comes around i guess!

    Update 2023-01-26: from Pathfinder to a game with no -real rules or objectives: my irl group had a hard time adjusting to -this.

    -

    it didn’t help that we took 2 weeks 3 months! off from -between sessions: we all forgot a lot from the last time we played.

    -

    but we settled into the groove, and i think everybody had a really -good time!

    -

    I play songleader Oleander. I rekindled a friendship with the -ropeskeeper, and ended one with the lifeguarder after accidentally -injuring a camper.

    -

    -

    3/5 of the party was bards! It was bard-tastic!

    -

    They were a little hillbilly, a little redneck. Straight from the -swamp. A little uncouth.

    -

    We had to go save Santa from (spoilers) Cleff Tezos, who wanted his -company, The Nile, to be the sole supplier of Christmas Toys. So he made -a big old evil Robosanta to go on a rampage in the North Pole.

    -

    Structure was great. Like, 85% puzzles and 15% combat.

    -

    We had to find a key, a code, and an RFID card do get into Santa’s -Palace. That was the puzzle part.

    -

    During the final part, there was a dance-off mechanic that the DM -came up with before realizing that the part was 60% bards.

    -

    Anyway, super fun. Haven’t gotten to play 5e as a player in a while. -Good times.

They wear an ancient amulet, -and a faceless mask (it has two black eyes, and a black vertical line -through each eye running the length of the mask) when channeling spirits -from the spirit realm. Their familiar takes the form of a small but -vicious dog.

    -

    Me and Sindie were sent to run off some ratfolk bandits. We tracked -them to their caves, and they promised to leave the humans alone if we -cleared out the caves of the presense.

    Boy I struggle mightily with Brindlewood Bay. It is such a -challenging game to run. There’s no guidance for how to play the -characters. The clues that pop up lead the fiction in weird directions, -and as the facilitator you’re left holding the bag trying to give your -players what they want when following up with questions. And at the end, -there are so many red herrings and clues that don’t add up, and -just.

    The ending, the Theorize Move, is the most interesting and fun part -of the game. But it rarely creates a narratively satisfying ending.

    -

    I also don’t know how to create tension or stakes in this game.

    -

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun.

    -

    I just feel like I gotta find a different system to run these -characters and this story on.

    -

    BTW there’s no written evidence of this anywhere, but the second BB -game we played was in March of this year. The first was in February. And -this is the 3rd, seven months later in October

    -

    Anyway, the module was Good Buy, Cruel World by Michael van Fleet, -and it was great. Everybody seemed to love mallwalking and being in the -mall. This is the 2nd game i’ve played by van Fleet, the first one being -Moon’s Shot, a oneshot for troika.

    untitled (plasma torch)

    untitled is a game of plasma torch that I started playing 2022-09-30 -as a Player. It is a discord live text Oneshot and is currently -Complete.

    Here’s how it went!

    -

    https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/356977/Plasma-Torch-A-OnePage-RPG-of-Derelict-Spaceships

    -

    a one-on-one OHOS with tibbius

    -

    it was short and fun!

    -

    there are two parts to playing the game:

    -
      -

    1. doing stuff: roll d6. +d6 if your background applies, +d6 if you -can use your equipment. 5 - 6 = success, 1 - 4 = fail.

      2. -

    2. resource die: if you fail, roll d8. 1 - 2 = step down your -resource die to d4, and your resources are depleted. if you fail on a -d4, you die, or whatever.

      3. -
    -

    running the game looks super easy. there are tables for generating -rooms and complications as you explore the derelict ship.

    -

    i think the resource die is a fascinating way to represent health and -death and resources and depletion all in one handy little mechanic.

    -

    during the game, my character (Naylen, a rugged ex-convict with a -crowbar) sneaked in through an airlock onto an abandoned, derelict -pleasure cruiser to find some loot. they struggled a little bit to get -the airlock to work, but then made their way into the hallway and down -into a medical bay. (which was locked, but Nalyen guessed the password; -it was 1234.)

    -

    inside the medical bay, he was confronted with some kind of -tentacular eldrich horror / medical experiment. it crushed him and -ripped his space suit, but he bopped it with his crowbar and got -away.

    -

    and then we had to stop

    -

    two thumbs up, would play again!

    -

    tibbius said he’d be interesting in adapting the system to some kind -of fantasy dungeon crawler, and i agree that would be fun.

    one of my players no-showed during our regular D&D campaign so we -busted out a quick onepage rpg

    -

    i’ve been wanting to play this one for quite some time because it -looks silly and ridiculous.

    -

    Our characters were Vinnie, a sadistic former garbage collector with -a vengeance streak a mile wide; Snak, a former orc; and xxx, who used to -have a gambling problem.

    -

    The skeletons surfaced near a busy crossroads and encountered a -shepherd who kicked Vinnie in the pelvis. Snak scared him off, and he -ran away with his sheep, vowing to report them to the Visiting Lord.

    -

    They regrouped in a nearby barn where they found a shrine to the -Visiting Lord. They took apart a goat, Vinnie wearing its pelvis and one -of its legs, xxx wearing its head as a hand.

    -

    The sweet little old farm lady came by and, confusing the skeletons -for her long lost Eustice, offered them soup and redemption. But they -knifed her to death anyway.

    -

    Bert the farmhand stumbled upon the scene and hit Snak in the pelvis -with a shovel, knocking her to pieces. They took out Bert, stole a -horse, and burned down the barn.

    -

    They came up with a two part plan: vengeance on the shepherd boy, and -confront the Visiting Lord.

    -

    Snak put on a disguise and pretended to be Clarissa, the milkmaid for -whom the boy pines. While he was distracted, xxx appeared on horseback -and Vinnie leaped down from above and sent the boy, his love unrequited, -into the wild blue yonder with one swift kick to the crotch with his +1 -Pelvis Kicking Boots.

    -

    Now all well disguised, they ventured into the village and found the -Church of the Visiting Lord. They confronted him, and he turned out to -be Eccentric Kevin, a fellow skeleton and frenemy from the wizard’s -dungeon.

    -

    They put Kevin’s skull on display on the church as a religious symbol -and mouthpiece for their agenda, began to rotate through the role of the -Visiting Lord themselves, and started to tax their congregants -heavily.

    -

    Amassing wealth and spreading their new religion became their new -mission.

    erika played Maelo, a tomb raider / cat burglar with a bit of razzle -dazzle magic.

    -

    I was Cinder, a grizzled sell-sword who has agreed to do just ONE -more job so he can retire and be a mushroom farmer. He’s is also a -former beloved child actor, star of Li’l Fatso’s Jamboree.

    -

    We were called in to investigate the gruesome murder of Baron von -Leffe’s squire. They were besieged by bandits out on the road. The Baron -escaped, but the boy was skewered by arrows and had his right arm -cleaved off and absconded with! The latest in a string of arm -thefts.

    -

    Cinder and Maelo quickly established a great Watson/Holmes dynamic, -and discovered that the wounds from the arrows display necrotization -consistent with the Red Slipper mushroom that grows in the -graveyard.

    -

    In a cut scene, the two set up a trust and a will so that in the -event of their unfortunate demise, the Li’l Fatso Memorial Mushroom Farm -will be established to teach children the joys of composting.

    Kyle ran us a game of Cthulhu Dark! Played with Josh and Mike and wendi. Investigate Garret’s Ranch in Fate, Texas. Everybody escaped intact and alive. A very simple but very flexible game. I liked how you can boost your roll with a cost with the insight die. And we did a good job of using the failure die once or twice. Occupation is really important and you can kind of cripple yourself if you pick something off like “uber driver” like josh did. Nobody took advantage of infinite rolls, and I think somebody suppressed insight only once. Which is all to say that for a rules light game, you kind of have to remember a lot. Anyway, it was fun! +https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/98137/Cthulhu-Dark

    Radsauce. Ran it with Carter, Hilary, and Jimmy. It went a bit over an hour, and the we finished it up in a bit over an hour the next day. Not positive I got all the rolls right, but the players seemed to have fun. I got a couple wtf moments out of them which seems like a success. I think there might need to be something said upfront about how the point of some of the weirdness is just that it is weird. That is, not every theme is a clue to the answer to the mystery. (Speaking directly of the puppet theme in this adventure.) There was interest in continuing with the othe mysteries in the text, so we might start that next week

    okay so first of all this is a historic game because after years of inviting her to join me in my hobby, this is the first time pete agreed and actually joined. bittersweet: she did not have fun. +nor did i, to be honest. this was a very challenging game to run. i felt stressed out and frustrated the whole time. the clues were super vauge. it was hard to understand a new system, and the mystery, and also stay on top of helping people play their character. There was also a bunch of the game that I should have just thrown out because it was not applicable/appropriate for a one-shot. Also all of the clues are objects. There’s no way to have a clue come up in conversation without the person running away so they could find an object, or somehow describing the object for some reason. +I had two players (pete and ari) who had never played a game before, pete was kind of lost. i should have thrown out abilities and had a straight 2d6 roll. +that said, it was a great group. a real convergence of spheres. +I don’t know, i’d run it again. I imagine i’ll feel more prepared the second time around. the players (except for pete) all seemed to have fun +https://www.drivethrurpg.com/product/307416/Brindlewood-Bay

    -
    -

    Gliftwirp bites into a burger that he swiped from somewhere, closes -his eyes, and sighs happily.

    -

    -

    “How grand that your falcon-headed god gave you his own sight as a -boon! How grand that you can even know your god!”

    -
    -

    “Sadly, my god grants no boons and answers no prayers. It is a long -story with which I shall not tire you okay fine if you insist.”

    -
    -
    -

    He settles in to tell a story.

    -
    -
    -

    “Long, long ago, my god (whose name I cannot say for reasons you will -soon understand) was a member of high stature in the Court of the God -King. And his best friend and closest confidante was the court jester, -Rhahn Ald. But their friendship would end in tragedy! Just listen and -you will know why.”

    -
    -
    -

    “You see, Rhahn Ald, the trickster, had quietly and discreetly been -stealing magical items from the king’s coffers, slowly, over the years, -accumulating glamour that he used to increase his influence in the -court, to weaken the God King’s mind and make him reliant on him. My god -(whose name I cannot say) eventually found out and threatened to expose -Rhahn Ald. So the mad jester framed his best friend, and easily -convinced the God King of his guilt.”

    -
    -
    -

    “So as punishment, everything was stolen from my god, including his -name. The Court of the God King will only allow him to be referred to as -the Evil Nemesis. (Bit dramatic don’t you think?) He also had his -handsome physique stolen from him: he now inhabits the form of a large, -four-armed, purple worm. And he had his home and all his land stolen -from him: he now resides in a damp cave. Most cruelly, he had his -intellect stolen: he remains just barely aware of what he used to be, of -what was taken from him. But his eloquence is gone. He is incapable of -forming the words he needs to defend himself, or gather followers to his -cause.”

    -
    -
    -

    Gliftwirp sighs sadly and nods. “My god was cursed and exiled because -of the evil trickster god Rhahn Ald.”

    -
    -
    -

    “And in retribution for his wrongful suffering, his followers turn to -holy acquisitions and righteous theft. Just as everything was taken from -our beloved Evil Nemesis, so do we take and redistribute. And so we -shall until he is redeemed and restored to his rightful place.”

    -

    okay so first of all this is a historic game because after years of -inviting her to join me in my hobby, this is the first time pete agreed -and actually joined. bittersweet: she did not have fun.

    -

    nor did i, to be honest. this was a very challenging game to run. i -felt stressed out and frustrated the whole time. the clues were super -vauge. it was hard to understand a new system, and the mystery, and also -stay on top of helping people play their character. There was also a -bunch of the game that I should have just thrown out because it was not -applicable/appropriate for a one-shot. Also all of the clues are -objects. There’s no way to have a clue come up in conversation without -the person running away so they could find an object, or somehow -describing the object for some reason.

    -

    I had two players (pete and ari) who had never played a game before, -pete was kind of lost. i should have thrown out abilities and had a -straight 2d6 roll.

    -

    that said, it was a great group. a real convergence of spheres.

    -

    I don’t know, i’d run it again. I imagine i’ll feel more prepared the -second time around. the players (except for pete) all seemed to have -fun

I got a couple wtf moments out of them which seems like a -success. I think there might need to be something said upfront about how -the point of some of the weirdness is just that it is weird.

And I wanted them to have a compelling and complete backstory. And now they do! It was a wild ride. It ended up turning Valentine into kind of a wretched thing. Not a proud, beautiful creature, but a desperate, damaged, and unhealthy one. I’d like to play it again, at least one more time. I felt like I didn’t grok it enough to create much continuity or connection across prompts. I had resources and skills, but wasn’t often able to use them effectively. That’s probably on me. Next time! 5 out of 5, would play again.

    + +

    Our characters were Vinnie, a sadistic former garbage collector with a vengeance streak a mile wide; Snak, a former orc; and xxx, who used to have a gambling problem.

    + +

    The skeletons surfaced near a busy crossroads and encountered a shepherd who kicked Vinnie in the pelvis. Snak scared him off, and he ran away with his sheep, vowing to report them to the Visiting Lord.

    + +

    They regrouped in a nearby barn where they found a shrine to the Visiting Lord. They took apart a goat, Vinnie wearing its pelvis and one of its legs, xxx wearing its head as a hand.

    + +

    The sweet little old farm lady came by and, confusing the skeletons for her long lost Eustice, offered them soup and redemption. But they knifed her to death anyway.

    + +

    Bert the farmhand stumbled upon the scene and hit Snak in the pelvis with a shovel, knocking her to pieces. They took out Bert, stole a horse, and burned down the barn.

    + +

    They came up with a two part plan: vengeance on the shepherd boy, and confront the Visiting Lord.

    + +

    Snak put on a disguise and pretended to be Clarissa, the milkmaid for whom the boy pines. While he was distracted, xxx appeared on horseback and Vinnie leaped down from above and sent the boy, his love unrequited, into the wild blue yonder with one swift kick to the crotch with his +1 Pelvis Kicking Boots.

    + +

    Now all well disguised, they ventured into the village and found the Church of the Visiting Lord. They confronted him, and he turned out to be Eccentric Kevin, a fellow skeleton and frenemy from the wizard’s dungeon.

    + +

    They put Kevin’s skull on display on the church as a religious symbol and mouthpiece for their agenda, began to rotate through the role of the Visiting Lord themselves, and started to tax their congregants heavily.

    Amassing wealth and spreading their new religion became their new mission.

    + +

    there are two parts to playing the game:

    + +
      +

    1. doing stuff: roll d6. +d6 if your background applies, +d6 if you can use your equipment. 5 - 6 = success, 1 - 4 = fail.

      2. +

    2. resource die: if you fail, roll d8. 1 - 2 = step down your resource die to d4, and your resources are depleted. if you fail on a d4, you die, or whatever.

      3. +
    + + +

    running the game looks super easy. there are tables for generating rooms and complications as you explore the derelict ship.

    + +

    i think the resource die is a fascinating way to represent health and death and resources and depletion all in one handy little mechanic.

    + +

    during the game, my character (Naylen, a rugged ex-convict with a crowbar) sneaked in through an airlock onto an abandoned, derelict pleasure cruiser to find some loot. they struggled a little bit to get the airlock to work, but then made their way into the hallway and down into a medical bay. (which was locked, but Nalyen guessed the password; it was 1234.)

    + +

    inside the medical bay, he was confronted with some kind of tentacular eldrich horror / medical experiment. it crushed him and ripped his space suit, but he bopped it with his crowbar and got away.

    + +

    and then we had to stop

    + +

    two thumbs up, would play again!

    + +

    tibbius said he’d be interesting in adapting the system to some kind of fantasy dungeon crawler, and i agree that would be fun.

    Good Buy, Cruel World (Brindlewood Bay)

    + + +

    Boy I struggle mightily with Brindlewood Bay. It is such a challenging game to run. There’s no guidance for how to play the characters. The clues that pop up lead the fiction in weird directions, and as the facilitator you’re left holding the bag trying to give your players what they want when following up with questions. And at the end, there are so many red herrings and clues that don’t add up, and just.

    + +

    The ending, the Theorize Move, is the most interesting and fun part of the game. But it rarely creates a narratively satisfying ending.

    + +

    I also don’t know how to create tension or stakes in this game.

    + +

    Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun.

    + +

    I just feel like I gotta find a different system to run these characters and this story on.

    + +

    BTW there’s no written evidence of this anywhere, but the second BB game we played was in March of this year. The first was in February. And this is the 3rd, seven months later in October

    + +

    Anyway, the module was Good Buy, Cruel World by Michael van Fleet, and it was great. Everybody seemed to love mallwalking and being in the mall. This is the 2nd game i’ve played by van Fleet, the first one being Moon’s Shot, a oneshot for troika.

    this game fizzled out. The second ADF Troika game I’ve played to do so! Too bad. I enjoyed the brief time that I got to create some McDonalds cosmology. Just for fun, here’s Gliftwirp expositing a little bit.

    + +

    Gliftwirp bites into a burger that he swiped from somewhere, closes his eyes, and sighs happily. +“How grand that your falcon-headed god gave you his own sight as a boon! How grand that you can even know your god!” +“Sadly, my god grants no boons and answers no prayers. It is a long story with which I shall not tire you okay fine if you insist.” +He settles in to tell a story. +“Long, long ago, my god (whose name I cannot say for reasons you will soon understand) was a member of high stature in the Court of the God King. And his best friend and closest confidante was the court jester, Rhahn Ald. But their friendship would end in tragedy! Just listen and you will know why.” +“You see, Rhahn Ald, the trickster, had quietly and discreetly been stealing magical items from the king’s coffers, slowly, over the years, accumulating glamour that he used to increase his influence in the court, to weaken the God King’s mind and make him reliant on him. My god (whose name I cannot say) eventually found out and threatened to expose Rhahn Ald. So the mad jester framed his best friend, and easily convinced the God King of his guilt.” +“So as punishment, everything was stolen from my god, including his name. The Court of the God King will only allow him to be referred to as the Evil Nemesis. (Bit dramatic don’t you think?) He also had his handsome physique stolen from him: he now inhabits the form of a large, four-armed, purple worm. And he had his home and all his land stolen from him: he now resides in a damp cave. Most cruelly, he had his intellect stolen: he remains just barely aware of what he used to be, of what was taken from him. But his eloquence is gone. He is incapable of forming the words he needs to defend himself, or gather followers to his cause.” +Gliftwirp sighs sadly and nods. “My god was cursed and exiled because of the evil trickster god Rhahn Ald.” +“And in retribution for his wrongful suffering, his followers turn to holy acquisitions and righteous theft. Just as everything was taken from our beloved Evil Nemesis, so do we take and redistribute. And so we shall until he is redeemed and restored to his rightful place.” +Gliftwirp continues quietly to himself, under his breath, “Robble robble, Amen,” and takes another bite of his hamburger. +“I truly am happy that you get to know your falcon-headed god, Kiara. It is a gift I hope you won’t take for granted!”

    Structure was great. Like, 85% puzzles and 15% combat.

    We had to find a key, a code, and an RFID card do get into Santa’s Palace. That was the puzzle part.

    an in person campaign with the old vulcamonos gang!

    + +

    can’t believe it. very excite.

    + +

    some real mad max / dune / acid death fantasy kind of world building from Keegs, which is really cool. good for him. there’s a huge, cracked, blistering sun; and two moons (they have names and everything but i didn’t write them down). there are 9-ish ‘islands’ of earth in a ‘sea’ of loose sand, so despite being in an unforgiving desert, there’s lots of nautical imagery. different crafts that can sail on the silt sea.

    + +

    we started out in prison with no items. as cliche as meeting in a tavern, but fun. we felt underpowered and desperate.

    + +

    i’m playing a lovable rogue based on dolly parton. her name is jolly pardon. she grew up dirt poor in a one-room cabin in the (hills). one day she was spotted by a traveling (prince) who was enchanted by her singing. he whisked her off of to the court of the petty warlord, where she grew very popular. her nemesis Dolene, however, grew jealous of her and spread rumors to besmirch her reputation. Dolene was eventually successful and the warlord tossed Jolly out of the court.

    + +

    In our session, we broke out of gladiator’s prison, crossed the city, and made it to Shatterglass, an abandoned obsidian mine and outpost of the Veiled Alliance, an organization dedicated to freeing the slave cities of Athas.

    + +

    We found what was left of my crew there. Zax was a husk. his mind had been wiped. And the others had been dragged deeper into the mines.

    + +

    Following the trails, we found a strange tableau. Thri-keen eggs had been arranged around the bodies of Verin and Zara. As we approached, a horror burst from the ground and attacked us.

    + +

    So yeah! Super excited! It’s been about 8 years we determined since we’ve all played together. and Keegs is a super crafty dm. There are battle maps and minis, and he gives everybody dossiers for character sheets and notes, and sometimes he crafts huge stage pieces for the map. it’s all really quite impressive.

    2024-01-27

    + + +

    So I just realized a couple of things. 1) it’s been almost 1.25 years since we started this campaign already!! and, 2) the way this gamelog—which, according to my git log, I’ve been keeping since 2021-12-23—is set up, I don’t really have any way to keep track of individual sessions of an ongoing campaign in a meaningful way. Besides little updates to existing entries such as this one. That is, if I want to run the numbers and see how many individual sessions I have played over the course of a year, I don’t really have any easy way to do that. I shall ponder this.

    + +

    Anyway, huge session last night. The culimation of our last year of playing. Let me catch you up:

    + +

    The city-state of Thanalas is ruled by a cruel despot. Martok, a cannibal halfling with psionic powers in a world of little to no magic. And we’re trying to overthrow him and give the city back to the people. So we rallied a bunch of townies to our cause. And we waited until the night of the Lunar Veil, this big parade + festival celebrating the rare full double eclipse of the sun by the planet’s two moons, to stage the coup. BUT some terrorists, the Ghostflame Syndicate, planted a bunch of bombs in the parade floats to wreck the coup and damage the cause. But we found them and defused them. And meanwhile a couple of us got caught in Martok’s private viewing box in the gladiatorial arena. (We had just executed on a plan to assassinate Martok by spiking his drink with the one half of the explosive components of the Ghostflame’s bombs, and lacing his food with the other half. So after he eats and drinks them… BIO BOMB.) And the rest of us have just found out that our pal Valtor, the hugely popular and renowned gladiator, is in cahoots with the Ghostflames and got them access to the parade and the coliseum to plant all the bombs.

    + +

    And that’s where we are now.

    + +

    A whole bunch of stuff happens in parallel. Dakka gets roped into working the announcer booth for the gladiatorial games, pulling off a bunch of Vicious Mockery and Bardic Inspiration through the giant announcer’s horn. At one point, our man Henry shows up in the booth and is like, Hey boss what’s this? And shows Dakka one of the bombs. Turns out there are dozens of them planted in the stands. Which are packed with people. Dakka announces a competition, tells everybody to look under their seats and if they find a little hourglass shaped thing, CAREFULLY bring it to the announcer’s booth WITHOUT letting the sands in the two halves mix for the chance to win a Fabulous Prize! This is maybe the most dangerous thing Dakka has ever done.

    + +

    Meanwhile, Lucia is running around running all kinds of stuff behind the scenes. Kale, head of the Ghostflames, summons her for an audience and asks her to kill Martok. She’s like, gosh that’s TOTALLY not already part of our plans and is totally inconvenient, gosh. But she accepts. Then Zara—a old pal of Jolly’s from the Veiled Alliance freedom fighter group—shows up in the crowd and approaches Lucia. She tells her the thri-kreen are IN the arena. (We have a kinship bond with the thri-kreen after rescuing their eggs from the ankheg.) They have buried themselves in the sand and will wait for our signal to leap out and attack. When she hears the “competition” announced over the horn, she runs up to the announcer’s booth, teaches our man Henry how to disarm the bombs, and sends him out to find as many as possible. Eventually, he and his boys disarm about a dozen. And about a dozen more are turned into the booth for prizes.

    + +

    Meanwhile, Darragh, our champion, is prepping for the final event. It’s her versus Valtor. She delivers a pep talk to some of the civilians who have been conscripted / forced into being gladiators. (After we ourselves escaped from the arena, Martok captured a bunch of commoners and forced them to fight in our place.) They are being forced to fight seasoned guards and gladiators in a re-enactment (to the death!) of the ancient battle at the temple, where the execution of Rajat shattered the sun and drained magic from the world, an event to which we are mystically bound and have had visions of. Darragh’s pep talk, and her bribing one of the guards to join the commoner’s side, lead to the commoners narrowly defeating the guards in a dramatic and very unlikely upset. Then it’s finally time for the main event.

    + +

    Jolly and Diablo have been entertaining Martok, his personal bodyguard Grak, and a couple of guards this whole time in Martok’s personal box. A lot of deception and sleight of hand and luck have made this go fairly well. He noshes on the laced grubs. And as the final event starts, he cracks open the bottle of his finest wine. Which is the drink spiked with the catalyst. He toasts, and downs the drink, and he fucking EXPLODES. Jolly and Diablo dive behind the thick oak bathroom door and avoid most of the blast. They’re stuck in there now though, so they escape down the poop chute and end up outside the arena.

    + +

    Simultaneously, Darragh and Valtor square off out on the arena. A dozen guards encircle them, and behind each of them is chained a giant ten foot tall scorpion to force them into close quarters. Darragh immediately gives the signal, and the sands rumble, and over a dozen thri-kreen warriors emerge from the sand and start wrecking the gladiators. Darragh easily dispatches Valtor and when she grabs his scimitar it burns her hand and sears her mind.

    + +

    When Martok’s booth explodes, Grak the half-giant (with whom we have a lot of personal beef) is thrown from the booth, through the air, and lands on the arena floor far below. He survives, but just barely. Only for Lucia in passing to magically catapult a small stone through his skull.

    + +

    An over-excited fan shakes her hourglass in the stands, and blows several rows of seats to kingdom come, and also blows a hole in the side of the arena. Disastrous. But also the only unintended explosion after recovering two dozen something bombs?

    + +

    And that’s where we ended. Now you’re caught up on a little over a year of D&D.

    what is up this is a oneshot game that i played over two sessions with a bunch of coworkers from the office. connor ran it and erin was there and those were the only two i knew from our holiday oneshot and everybody else was new. we were all potential heirs to lady longbottom’s fortune and all we had to do was survive one night in her weird spooky haunted house. we used betrayal at the house on haunted hill to procedurally randomly generate the house. that part was pretty fun. it made it feel like a classic traditional dungeon crawl which is a style of play with which i actually have no real experience. we just showed up, gelled as a party, and started exploring. i played professor plum—that is, christopher lloyd from the movie clue—a bumbling wild magic sorcerer which is one of my favorite classes to bring to a level 1 game. and i was a firbolg silverquill initiate. didn’t get up to too many hijinks but did get to wild magic surge twice, turning myself blue and casting confusion on myself. dm brought the optional sanity rules from the dmg. consequently i lost control of my character a couple times, which resulted in me downing one of my party. he turned out fine. i fell off the top of the tower not once but twice. and then the guy i downed fell off the tower and fell on me and downed me. what goes around comes around i guess!

    finally got to play with kensanata and the boys! trading, exploring, buying goods, negotiating prices, hiring guards = economics simulator. i actually installed ledger-cli to keep track of accounts and inventory. played for 2 hours and at the end of it, we have a spreadsheet and a loan and a trade route. and a guard. i am playing Bagagalio Quatro! which is a name i got from the UVG name generator. i guess they are from fantasy italy. he is an exiled bluelander and cultist of the blue god, a rapscallion and magician. first time playing any kind of traveler. character creation is really interesting with the past careers and stuff. https://campaignwiki.org/wiki/MontagInZ%c3%bcrich/Ultraviolet_Grasslands

    This was a LTLT OHOH with Sean and Florik. I played Roderik the Frail (because I rolled abysmally low Stamina), a librarian and amateur entomologist who wants to make a quick buck and to capture some rare insects. Florik was Lonk the Lazy Jewelry Store Guard, who just wants to go fishing. I don’t actually know what system Sean was running, but it had the familiar Skill Stamina Luck format of Fighting Fantasy, which I know he loves. Banter between Roderik and Lonk was jolly good. Brain and muscle. We explored the dungeon, avoided the Invisible Apes, captured a blind salamander, found a secret passage and a hoard of jewels, and fought off a dwelf or dwarf-elf. (It was “a bearded elf” that we rp-ed into being a dwarf / elf hybrid, yee-haw!) 10/10 would play again!

    Started Session 0 of GBML. Mal is GMing. And I’m playing alongside tehfraga, el, deafgamer, and chantel. We did a whole lot of worldbuilding, session planning, and character building. I was pretty excited to play this game beforehand, but I gotta say I’m REALLY excited to play it now! This game is part of the Lantern Light Adventures game network. So it’s going to be streamed on twitch, and then published on youtube and also as a podcast. It’s my first time playing anything quite so public, so I’m a little bit nervous about it. But also looking forward to it. Wheeeee! https://www.twitch.tv/lanternlightadventures

    Session 1 of An Empty Dream was magnificent! Got to meet Splendiferous Cogwell and beat him soundly in a robotics competition. And then there was a great reveal toward the end with him turning into Splendiferous Maximus! Then we defeated him with Feelings and everybody cried. It was th best. Can’t wait for more sessions.
