When we last left our Ingrates, Winter was captured by her old crew, and the party was on their way to save her. After much planning, part of which was Dacyria’s familiarContinue reading “A DMs Perspective”

Another Session I Get to Play!
We begun our journey after a long rest, heading into the forest with the centaur. It wasn’t long before we came across a large open Glade, which looked ominous and foreboding with how dead all of the vegetation was.

Rime of the Frostmaiden: Someone is Coming to Get Us…
Dear Readers, it has come to my attention that I apparently cut my notes off short last time, and missed them going to the Tower of Transmutation, as well as the beginning of a fight.

How-To DM: So There Wasn’t a Sunday Game For My Table, But Here’s a Post
So, as the title says, I didn’t have a game this past Sunday. The reason? Because I just needed a break. Today, we’re going to talk about DM burnout. It happens to the best of us: we DM time and time again, likely for multiple games and for multiple days, that stretch into weeks, months,Continue reading “How-To DM: So There Wasn’t a Sunday Game For My Table, But Here’s a Post”
The Australian Nightmare
Once again we take a stroll down Amnesia Lane back to the mid-1980’s, and this time the game was Chaosium’s Call of Cthulhu. For those of you that are unfamiliar, CoC is a cosmic survival horror game based on the works of H.P. Lovecraft; it’s a very fun, very deadly game where you’re really justContinue reading “The Australian Nightmare”
The Dancing Hut: Return With an Offering
So…everyone, by now, should know that I try to tell these stories objectively; that is, I try to tell the story as it happened and no more. I really can’t do that today…it was too funny and just too bizzare. If my objectivity breaks, well, I apologize…also, I don’t have too many pictures for thisContinue reading “The Dancing Hut: Return With an Offering”
The Dancing Hut of Baba Yaga: Meeting Baba Yaga
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”

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”
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.

Deciding that the amulets were too much ofContinue reading “Rime of the Frost Maiden: Caer Konig and Duergar”
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)”
