Notes: A hack of Tunnel Goons by Nate Smith. Very fun original world, hex crawly open sandbox. You can get a lot done even with hyper minimal rules

Notes: Another more different ADF! Born of the APF server, but on another new server with Kunailby. Playing Gliftwirp, a sarong-fu master who is also basically the hamburglar
|
|
|
|
|
+**Update 2022-02-11**: 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!"

Notes: pbp on rpg.net with tibbius. Playing former child actor Sender, who is a blade for hire who just wants to retire and be a mushroom farmer, who is also haunted by the ghost of his dead twin brother who he absorbed in the womb, and who is also followed around by small woodland animals like a disney princess.

+**Update 2022-02-11**: Moving this to dead. The story was really good. The system was surprisingly good. The gimmick is that you a special that you can invoke and it just happens. And then you flip a coin. Heads = you can continue to use your special. Tails = special is burned until recharged. Made for smoe really fun gameplay.

Notes: Zig's first time DM-ing! A series of oneshots on a mysterious island. Getting to play with Alex again is fun. The characters escalate from session to session from level 3 to 6 to 9 etc. Have played two so far. Having a lot of fun playing and getting to make new characters all the time.
|
|
|
|
|
+**Update 2022-02-16**: Been continuing to play this and enjoy it. It's been nice watching Zigs come into his own as a DM. It's been just man and Jaybee playing lately. Miss playing with the others, but it's also fun with just the two of us. I've played a different character each time, slowly building out the sprawling family tree.

Notes: Strixhaven happen!
|
|
|
|
|
+ Background: my pathfinder group agreed to disband and reform as something else. Seems we were a little burned out on the game and needed a change. (I for one have complained to anybody who will listen about how much I hate Pathfinder!) So we decided to try something a little lighter and light-hearted and we went back to 5e D&D and agreed to try *Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos*. Former DM gets to play, I get to DM, and we finally had our first session.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Chierce showed up having not made a character and decided to just lurk quietly and watch, which was both totally okay but also kind of weird.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Our planned cadence is ~1.5 hrs twice a week. We'll see if we stick to it.
|
|
|
|
|
+ We got one third of the way through the first 3-part session. We might get through the next two parts next sesh.
|
|
|
|
|
+ Anyway, cool, new game! Super fun!
