It was fun to have parents texting me this morning to find out if we were gaming tonight. Apparently, the kids were not letting them make plans because Friday night is game night, duh! ;) Anyway, we did get to play, and they finished Hollow's Last Hope. The guys had some dicey moments, but they...

Hollow’s Last Hope Part 2. The companions set about setting the fennec free. Kendall calmed the animal by cooing softly, and cradling its head in her lap. Meanwhile, Jorge pried open the jaws of the wicked trap, and Father Fortis channeled healing energy that revitalized the fox and the half orc...

I agree that the spontaneous singing is pretty ridiculous. Which is why Lyrissa doesn't sing. She does perform oratory and dance, however. I think our good doctor was just taking a little creative license in his SH. As for the validity of bards, I think it's a situational thing. We have a...

After a week's worth of being hounded by my kids and the neighbors, we got to game again tonight. The kids were really excited, and they dove right in where they left off. I printed out the story hour in booklet format during the week, so they all had a chance to read over their adventures...

The party outfitted themselves at the Goosen’n’Gander, and the helpful owner, a gnome by the name of Brickasnurd Hildrinsocks, set them on their way towards the Lumber Consortium camp north of town. He told them to seek out a friend of his, Milom Rhoddam, one of the most experienced woodsmen in...

Hollow’s Last Hope Part I. The four young travelers were tired and hungry. They made their way through the small town of Falcon’s Hollow looking for some place they could find food and a comfortable chair. It didn’t take them long to find the leaning, ramshackle inn the locals called the...

While I have been contemplating running a Pathfinder game for my kids for some time now, this year’s GenCon got me so stoked that I couldn’t wait for the Beginner Box, and we began play today. My first thought was to just simply run a couple of combats for the kids. As we were setting up, one of...

I would agree with Jollydoc on almost all counts - except I joined the group after Age of Worms. 1.Savage Tide: Compelling story with lots of travel/exploration elements. Absolutely epic finale. Truly a case of PCs saving the world. 2.Curse of the Crimson Throne: Basically set in a single...

Jack is indeed a rogue using the swashbuckler archetype from the APG. His player is new to the group. Serpent's Skull is off to an interesting start with a decidedly interesting party dynamic.

Well, here is Stevhan's final sheet. Briar does not fully reflect its full capability because I couldn't get it all in to HeroLab. Actually, I just realized that I had some spells active on the sheet, but not all. For instance, occasionally Stevhan would be Enlarged, with Lead Blades cast, and...

Just to set the record straight, Mox typically uses an acid fireball in combat (elemental spell, from the Pathfinder APG). Just a tease for you Mox lovers and haters out there: if you think you understand this character, you just might be in for a shock over the next few updates. Character...

Further update: Armies march across the Stolen Lands. Volleys of arrows darken the skies and centaur lancers thunder across the battlefield. Giants, wyverns, trolls, oh my! Fortunately for the PC's they have some Gen Con Axis & Allies tournament semifinalists at the helm... Can the walls of...

Oh, don't feel too sorry for the good doctor. Metagaming cuts both ways. We have faced off against some incredibly sqaure-savvy and tactically-minded animals, blobs, mindless undead, constructs and other assorted critters over the years. All kidding aside, IMO the group polices itself fairly...

Well, let's just say there's anew Stag Lord in town... He didn't hit nearly as hard as the troll.

From this player's perspective (Stevhan the Ranger), I'm loving Kingmaker so far. As some have noted before, there are some MMO elements as well as some tactical war game elements with which most of us are familiar, but we're having a lot of fun with it. We are just getting to the point where...
