Due to my being behind and the fact that I haven’t painted anything (my MS tremors have prevented me from doing so), I’m going to catch up from last Tuesday’s session! This is especially essential considering tomorrow’s post is the continuation. When we last met, our party found themselves in a rather off kitchen, withContinue reading “The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga: Meeting Baba Yaga”

Rime of the Frostmaiden: Cauldron Conundrum and Ghostly Possessions
Having left off before a fight, the party engaged the three duergar. Seeing they were outmatched, one tried to run, to warn Xardorok, but was shot down quickly by party spells and arrows. Having dealt with the evil dwarves on the ferry, the party decided to head off along the coast to find the lostContinue reading “Rime of the Frostmaiden: Cauldron Conundrum and Ghostly Possessions”
DM Story: Tapping Him Gently With My Warhammer
Ah, the mid-1980’s. We had no computers. We had no cars. What we did have is the living room of my friend Bob’s house and his saintly mother who never complained about a mob of teenage boys in her house every Saturday and Sunday for hours at a time. Warhammer Fantasy Roleplay was my 2ndContinue reading “DM Story: Tapping Him Gently With My Warhammer”
How-To DM: Building Encounters – Design
by yourdorkmaterials A Moon Druid, a Barbarian, a Rogue, a Monk and a Wizard walk into a cave…sounds like the start of a joke, doesn’t it? But a party like this can be a nightmare to build challenging encounters for. The Druid and Barbarian effectively have twice (or even three times at low levels) theContinue reading “How-To DM: Building Encounters – Design”
Player Character Party Highlight
This week, instead of my normal Tuesday Game Summary, I wanted to do something different. So…I’ve been thinking of explaining why the varying adventuring parties do what they do in my posts, but it always seemed to get in the way of telling what happened. Therefore, I’m going to give you an idea of whoContinue reading “Player Character Party Highlight”
Rime of the Frost Maiden: Ascent of Kelvin’s Cairn
When last we left off, The party was at the abandoned base camp at the foot of Kelvin’s Cairn, having found Garret’s dog sled and dogs, as well as those from the adventuring company he was guiding. Secure in the knowledge that the dogs would be safe, the parties staked their axe beak mounts andContinue reading “Rime of the Frost Maiden: Ascent of Kelvin’s Cairn”
Another Tuesday Prequel
So the last time I updated everyone on what happened in the Tuesday game before I started recording, was the 25th of September. We left off with losing track of Tilna, and the party locating her somewhere in the sewers. Following their locate person, they began seeing a strange symbol written in chalk on theContinue reading “Another Tuesday Prequel”
Rime of the Frost Maiden: Caer Konig and Duergar
Having finished the assault on Caer Dineval, the party was rewarded with free room and board by the Town Speaker, Crannoc. The party went a step further by agreeing to police up the bodies, if for no other reason than to take all of the chardalyn amulets. Deciding that the amulets were too much ofContinue reading “Rime of the Frost Maiden: Caer Konig and Duergar”
DM Story: The Day the Barbarian Lost His Head and Other Fun Stories
This story takes place some 15ish years ago. It is also a collection of stories from the same campaign adventure. Enjoy! I was running City of the Spider Queen for my game group, the one that I’d been running for since back in the 2nd Edition days. Do you all know those games where everythingContinue reading “DM Story: The Day the Barbarian Lost His Head and Other Fun Stories”
The Haunt 2 (Part 2)
DISCLAIMER: LIKE THE PREVIOUS INSTALLMENT WARNED, THIS ADVENTURE IS GRAPHIC AND CONTAINS POSSIBLE TRIGGERS. YOU’VE BEEN WARNED!! The party engaged the Oblex, for that is what it was that took the form of an Astral Deva, with it temporarily stealing the memories of the spicy cleric! After a short battle, the Oblex lay defeated andContinue reading “The Haunt 2 (Part 2)”
Sunday Highlights: Assault on Caer Dineval
It just came to my attention that I mis-scheduled this post today, so it’s late. That said, here it is: We last left our intrepid band of heroes in Targos, having just disposed of Sephek and Torga, had headed off to Bryn Shander to sell loot and gear up for their next task: going toContinue reading “Sunday Highlights: Assault on Caer Dineval”
Tuesday Game: The Haunt 2 (part 1)
So today I am going over “The Haunt: 2.” It actually has a “Parental Discretion Advised” warning on the first page. As y’all know, I don’t do things too graphically, but, you know, trigger warning and all that. You’ve been warned. Last time, on “The Haunt: the Series…” “The hail’s too much! We have toContinue reading “Tuesday Game: The Haunt 2 (part 1)”
Not A Mini-Painting Spotlight: The Haunt (part 2)
As you can tell from the title, this is NOT the mini-painting spotlight that I normally do. This is for two reasons: 1) I have had ZERO time to paint in recent days, and my ability to do so when I am symptomatic are hampered severely, and 2) I have a lot of catching upContinue reading “Not A Mini-Painting Spotlight: The Haunt (part 2)”
Sunday Game: Rime of the Frost Maiden; Finding Sephek
The ranger, realizing that the creature in the water was a plesiosaurus, quaffed one of his potions of animal friendship and began speaking with it. It responded with a polite “Hello!” After a short discussion, the party found that this talking plesiosaur was ensorcelled to become sentient by a druid who’s instructions were to terrorizeContinue reading “Sunday Game: Rime of the Frost Maiden; Finding Sephek”
Tuesday Game: The Haunt (Part 1)
So, this week, to celebrate “Spooktober,” I decided to run one of my favorite horror-themed adventures, and set this adventure on their path back to Waterdeep. October is a spook-tacular month in which to run spooky adventures. The brave and dedicated adventurers that investigate the strange and messed up stories are members of a rag-tagContinue reading “Tuesday Game: The Haunt (Part 1)”
