Everyone was present. The winged kobold and entourage continued to sneakily make their getaway, heading over the river and east into the university area. Unfortunately, he rolled a natural 1 on hide, which meant they blundered straight into a patrol that had already been magically alerted to the...

Everyone was present. This was a non-stop action scene, although the perspectives weren't split as I feared, because Zerr decided that as much as the player might want to be involved in the action downstairs, that would require going through a lot of slaadi, he's not a primary fighter and it...

Duo session featuring winged kobold Zerr von Kopa (disguised as a halfling) and 3 of the binder's followers: (Rei the 6th level Sha'ir and two unnamed 4th level bards) While the others were heading down into the vaults, these four came strolling boldly through the front door, dressed richly...

4 players present. They continued on debating the details of the heist for the first half an hour before finally getting into the action, taking the time to jump some low-level thieves guild members, stash their bodies and put their cloaks on as part of their efforts to make sure someone else...

5 players present. This was a slow one almost entirely taken up by interparty roleplaying. They had a number of options for new missions available to them. They could continue investigating the world on the other side of the gate under Needlespire. (Two of the party independently did this...

Everyone was present. The binder activated Rage and continued to shred Xhagevoxhab with even more attack and damage bonuses. Meanwhile the other active players concentrated on saving the two downed PC's. The githyanki summoned a couple of Bralani, placing one next to the drow and healing him...

I changed my mind. I'm finding the 4e issues so gruellingly samey and formulaic that I'm struggling to keep going with them, so I've decided to interleave Star Wars Gamer, followed by Kobold Quarterly, Gygax Magazine, and maybe Undefeated as well if I can get a complete collection of that...

Portentious scrolling text about what has come before: Star Wars Gamer was a magazine published by WotC in the early 2000's, when they were producing the first d20 edition of the RPG. It was published bimonthly (in theory, in practice it was often late due to delays in Lucasarts approvals...

All 6 regular players were present, although the githyanki's one had to leave a little early. Most of the characters stopped for a breather and a dip in the Binder's regeneration tank, just another of the many tricks she now has stored in her Enveloping Pit. Meanwhile, the githyanki did an...

A bit of a lull this time, although 5 players showed up at the start, the drow and binder kept dropping out due to real life interruptions, leaving me rolling for their characters most of the time and the githyanki & two kobolds doing all the active decision making. They followed the fleeing...

All 6 regular players present (it's becoming increasingly apparent that the beholder was just a one-off), although the githyanki was busy in the first part and the drow dropped out halfway through. Having headed back to Tu'narath to do some research and shopping, the session started slowly...

5 players present. They all continued to lay into Xhagevoxhab. On its turn, it let go of the wall it was clinging to and fell into the chasm, screaming obscenities in an unknown tongue as it went. Being genre-savvy enough to know that is far less certain death than you would think, the flying...

6/7 players were present. This one started slowly again, as the characters told the various stories of the time they were apart, with a particular emphasis on the solo one. He wanted to go back there and take down the mechanised fortress, see if they could take control of the robots and make...

Solo session featuring winged kobold Zerr von Kopa and aging winter werewolf Sobachka: When we last saw these two, they were warping out using the teleporter in the colossus, just 30 seconds before it exploded. Fortunately, I had accounted for the possibility that some of the PC's might take...

As expected, this session slowed things right down as the split teams tried to figure out how to get back together without knowing IC where each other was. Only 4 players were present, 2 from each team. They both decided that the sensible thing to do would be to get a full 8 hours rest straight...
