Dungeon of the Void Magus (Fighting Fantasy Hack)</h2>
<p>Twilight Dungeon of the Void Magus is a game of Fighting Fantasy Hack
that I started playing 2023-12-19 as a . It is a discord live text
Adventure and is currently Ongoing.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>This was a <abbr title="Lunch Time Live Text">LTLT</abbr>
<abbr title="One Hour One Shot">OHOH</abbr> 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 <em>dwelf</em> 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!</p>

<h2 id="ultraviolet-grasslands-halberts-fantasy-traveler">Ultraviolet
Grasslands (Halberts (Fantasy Traveler))</h2>
<p>Ultraviolet Grasslands is a game of Halberts (Fantasy Traveler) that
I started playing 2023-12-14 as a Player. It is a discord audio +
campaignwiki.org Adventure and is currently Ongoing.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>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. <a

<h2 id="betrayal-at-house-on-the-hill-dd">Betrayal at House on the Hill
(D&amp;D)</h2>
<p>Betrayal at House on the Hill is a game of D&amp;D that I started
playing 2023-08-01 as a Player. It is a in person Oneshot and is
currently Complete.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>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!</p>

<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>Started a new game for the Beekey Blinders. Supposed to be just a
one-shot of spelljammer, but they liked it a lot and wanted to just keep
playing this. So now this is what we’re doing!</p>

Complete.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>First time playing with the Aftermathematicians!</p>
<p>Ran a game for Enki, Tuesday, Dril, and Lofi.</p>
<p>We played Small Medium Large, winner of the 2022 one-page dungeon
contest.</p>
<p><a href="https://www.dungeoncontest.com/"

<p>Camp Spookypants is a game of Sleepaway that I started playing
2022-10-27 as a Player. It is a discord + jamboard Campaign and is
currently Dead.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p><strong>Update 2023-01-26</strong>: from Pathfinder to a game with no
real rules or objectives: my irl group had a hard time adjusting to
this.</p>
<p>it didn’t help that we took <del>2 weeks</del> 3 months! off from
between sessions: we all forgot a lot from the last time we played.</p>
<p>but we settled into the groove, and i think everybody had a really
good time!</p>
<p>I play songleader Oleander. I rekindled a friendship with the
ropeskeeper, and ended one with the lifeguarder after accidentally
injuring a camper.</p>
<p><strong>Update 2023-02-26</strong>: Killed this game because it was
too hard for the group, and decided to go do some oneshots and figure
out what to do next for a campaign. Might continue playing this solo
just to see what happens because I really like it.</p>

<h2 id="holiday-oneshot-dd">Holiday Oneshot (D&amp;D)</h2>
<p>Holiday Oneshot is a game of D&amp;D that I started playing
2023-01-18 as a Player. It is a live and in person! Oneshot and is
currently Complete.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>Played a live and in person game for the first time ever! (Since
before pandemic)</p>
<p>Work friends: C. (DM), EH (bard), EK (artificer) A. (bard), and M
(geomancer (druid)). and Me (bard).</p>
<p>3/5 of the party was bards! It was bard-tastic!</p>
<p>I played Barumpa Pumpum, the lizardfolk College of Creation bard.</p>
<p><a href="https://tiny.tilde.website/@dozens/109706687499993446"
class="uri">https://tiny.tilde.website/@dozens/109706687499993446</a></p>
<p>They were a little hillbilly, a little redneck. Straight from the
swamp. A little uncouth.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Structure was great. Like, 85% puzzles and 15% combat.</p>
<p>We had to find a key, a code, and an RFID card do get into Santa’s
Palace. That was the puzzle part.</p>
<p>During the final part, there was a dance-off mechanic that the DM
came up with before realizing that the part was 60% bards.</p>
<p>Anyway, super fun. Haven’t gotten to play 5e as a player in a while.
Good times.</p>
<p>Hopefully I get to play with this group some more in the future.</p>

<p>planar nexus is a game of 1400 that I started playing 2023-01-16 as a
Player. It is a live text Adventure and is currently Dead.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>Played a tibbius game with sean.</p>
<p>I’m playing Orrowyss the Haunted, a spirit mage. A portal to the
spirit realm exposed Orrowyss to otherworldly energies. They are
followed by the sound of tinkling bells. 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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>good fun!</p>
<p><strong>Update 2023-01-23</strong>: Got a little further into the
dungeon. Fought off some vines and a woozy trippy room. Found some loot
and some tech that might active a Portal</p>
<p><strong>Update 2023-01-30</strong>: Fought a spooky spider and got
kind of roughed up. Made it to the portal room. But still missing 2
glyff balls. Got to turn into a Ghost Form, and then switch back and do
some stabs. That was pretty awesome.</p>
<p><strong>Update 2023-01-26</strong>: Almost a month since we last
played, no updates. Moving to dead.</p>

<p>I made a character and ran her through an encounter and it was really
fun. Different. Combat was very cinematic. Treating the battle as a
progress meter that you can test to see if it’s complete is a totally
different feel than just attacking a sack of hit points.</p>

<p>Tales of Athas is a game of D&amp;D that I started playing 2022-11-17
as a Player. It is a in person Campaign and is currently Ongoing.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>an in person campaign with the old vulcamonos gang!</p>
<p>can’t believe it. very excite.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>we started out in prison with no items. as cliche as meeting in a
tavern, but fun. we felt underpowered and desperate.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

<p>Good Buy, Cruel World is a game of Brindlewood Bay that I started
playing 2022-10-26 as a DM. It is a discord voice, jamboard Oneshot and
is currently Complete.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>The ending, the Theorize Move, is the most interesting and fun part
of the game. But it rarely creates a narratively satisfying ending.</p>
<p>I also don’t know how to create tension or stakes in this game.</p>
<p>Don’t get me wrong, it’s fun.</p>
<p>I just feel like I gotta find a different system to run these
characters and this story on.</p>
<p>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</p>
<p>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
<em>Moon’s Shot</em>, a oneshot for troika.</p>

<p>a one-on-one OHOS with tibbius</p>
<p>it was short and fun!</p>
<p>there are two parts to playing the game:</p>
<ol type="1">
<li><p>doing stuff: roll d6. +d6 if your background applies, +d6 if you
can use your equipment. 5 - 6 = success, 1 - 4 = fail.</p></li>
<li><p>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.</p></li>
</ol>
<p>running the game looks super easy. there are tables for generating
rooms and complications as you explore the derelict ship.</p>
<p>i think the resource die is a fascinating way to represent health and
death and resources and depletion all in one handy little mechanic.</p>
<p>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.)</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>and then we had to stop</p>
<p>two thumbs up, would play again!</p>
<p>tibbius said he’d be interesting in adapting the system to some kind
of fantasy dungeon crawler, and i agree that would be fun.</p>

<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>one of my players no-showed during our regular D&amp;D campaign so we
busted out a quick onepage rpg</p>
<p><a href="https://gshowitt.itch.io/adventure-skeletons"
class="uri">https://gshowitt.itch.io/adventure-skeletons</a></p>
<p>i’ve been wanting to play this one for quite some time because it
looks silly and ridiculous.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>They came up with a two part plan: vengeance on the shepherd boy, and
confront the Visiting Lord.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Amassing wealth and spreading their new religion became their new
mission.</p>

dazzle magic.</p>
<p>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 <em>Li’l Fatso’s Jamboree</em>.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>

be blinded by vengeance.</p>

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

<p>It’s a Sean game with eskur, 7th Outpost, and wendi. (wendi couldn’t

<p>I’m playing Ifori, who is basically a <em>cleric of a small god</em>

of Bbblippt from Wicked Ones. She has a small turnip-like creature that
she believes is an infant god. It gives her access to rituals at
least.</p>
<p>This game, we escaped and immolated some kind of sucking flesh tree,
and then desecrated a shrine to some evil earth deity and then killed
one of its priests.</p>
<p>And that was about it! Short and sweet.</p>
<p>First time playing Trophy Gold. The stress mechanic feels the same as
from Cthulhu Dark. I like it. Makes things feel risky and scary, and
that you’re constantly on the edge of doom and disaster. Kind of like

<h2 id="strixhaven-dd">Strixhaven (D&amp;D)</h2>
<p>Strixhaven is a game of D&amp;D that I started playing 2022-02-21 as
a DM. It is a roll20 + discord Campaign and is currently Complete.</p>
<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>Strixhaven happen!</p>
<p>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&amp;D and agreed to
try <em>Strixhaven: Curriculum of Chaos</em>. Former DM gets to play, I
get to DM, and we finally had our first session.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>Our planned cadence is ~1.5 hrs twice a week. We’ll see if we stick
to it.</p>
<p>We got one third of the way through the first 3-part session. We
might get through the next two parts next sesh.</p>
<p>Anyway, cool, new game! Super fun!</p>
<p><strong>Update 2022-03-16</strong>: Second session went so much
better! Threw out a bunch of the rules. Made the rolls a bunch more
simple. Players actually solved the mystery, Got a couple glimpses into
the conspiracy. It was a hoot and a holler!</p>
<p><strong>Update 2022-10-06</strong>: Finished the campaign! That was
super fun!</p>

<p><strong>Update 2022-02-11</strong>: 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.</p>

<p>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</p>
<p><strong>Update 2022-02-11</strong>: 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.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Gliftwirp bites into a burger that he swiped from somewhere, closes
his eyes, and sighs happily.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“How grand that your falcon-headed god gave you his own sight as a
boon! How grand that you can even know your god!”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“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.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>He settles in to tell a story.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“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.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“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.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“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.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Gliftwirp sighs sadly and nods. “My god was cursed and exiled because
of the evil trickster god Rhahn Ald.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“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.”</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>Gliftwirp continues quietly to himself, under his breath, “Robble
robble, Amen,” and takes another bite of his hamburger.</p>
</blockquote>
<blockquote>
<p>“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!”</p>
</blockquote>

2022-02-10 as a DM. It is a discord Oneshot and is currently

<p>Here’s how it went!</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>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.</p>
<p>that said, it was a great group. a real convergence of spheres.</p>
<p>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</p>

<p>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 <em>wtf</em> 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</p>

L to get on the naughty list) both bounty hunters, yvette and midge, to
capture dinaz and lucretia + bitter; winter and loss there, snow to

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!</p>
