I’m not running it but I am playing in it, if that perception is helpful at all? We are having a blast. The factions are really engaging as a concept; we have worked with all of them to varying extents, and they also provide a healthy tension within the party because we each lean towards...

Very true. We already had experience of this, having skedaddled pretty rapidly from Executioner Square! It was exit, pursued by wraiths. What made this one worse was that the others flew back towards Emberwood, utilising the giant eagle polymorph, leaving my poor rogue to sneak back to Temple...

Thank you for writing such an engaging and excellent story. I have enjoyed it immensely. I wish you the very best in your writing career; you deserve success.

Spoiler Alert; Last weekend, we played a session of Drakkenheim where we got our butts comprehensively kicked, but it was an awesome game regardless. Having assisted the Knights of the Flame in liberating one of the gates from the beastmen/gnolls, the party shadowed the fleeing survivors back...

Glad you’re back.

IMO he should/could write professionally.

Wow! Thanks for taking the time to do these. I was walking beneath the trees of Sherwood Forest whilst reading!

Great battle scene. Zombies are tough foes.

I think there are two (or maybe more) types of adventurers in the context of this question. The first type are your classic adventurer trope: rough, hard-bitten mercenary types who don’t fit in with normal village society, and are challenging or even dangerous to have around. They might not be...

I also got to play alongside PJ from the ENWorld podcast in the campaign run by @Steampunkette I can't recall his site name, but he's both a great bloke and a superb player.

I'm the DM for Rob in this campaign, and this personality trait is such a joy to DM. I can use the "dwarf confusion" (and even "gnome confusion" in one instance!) to create immediate tension within interactions with my NPCs. It's a really good hook.
