Maddening Returns After the success at Gallo's Fend, the group returns to Bresk with significant concerns about the goings-on. They knew from before that there was some poison being put together, some insanity the king was dealing with, and how suddenly things had been changing. From all the...

Def-Fending the Fend (I think it's getting worse) Since Jack, Myetharia, and Bryn were arriving up at Gallo's Fend well before the others, I made the decision to allow Rayland and Winry to use temporary characters with simplified stat blocks to represent some experienced soldiers from Gallo's...

A Bresk Trip to the Gap I am a little bit ashamed of that title, but I'm also going to leave it. My players were (and still are) very anxious to head back to Gate Pass due to their connections there, so at every opportunity I've been dropping information about the goings on over there. Simeon...

A Show, A Storm, and A Prison Moving things along from solving all of the town's problems, Shalosha appears as the Shahalesti delegate and presents the terms of "alliance". She looks focused despite seeing Myetharia and I made mention to it feeling like she has a mask on after some insight by...

To Seaquen and the Lyceum Heading to Cornerwood, the DM job of NPC juggling during this stretch began in earnest once more. I did my best to make Tiljann the main focus, though spending a little time of Crystin was necessary as well to show her breaking free more and more from her father's...

The Rest of the Fire Forest Searching through the tower, they found the dream seeds as well as leads to head both directions, up and down the river. Jack tried a dream seed first, but being an elf, he is immune to the effects. Winry took one secretly later on against the party's wishes and...

So I figured I should update this with information at least. We are sorry we haven't been posting any remastered episodes; they were just too much time and effort for the player who was editing them. We were never doing this for money or anything, so it was always going to be as long as he was...

This is very familiar. My group ended up doing something nearly identical, though it was a rogue and monk working in tandem. The dice favored them and they even avoided a fight completely there with full success. This game is always full of surprises, but it did make the coming battle a bit less...

I certainly don't think the change you suggest is overpowered. I think it will really come down to 2 things - how often your monk wants to cast, and how often you allow the party to short rest. I think the ki points early can be a pain for monks, but by adventure 5 or 6, they really shouldn't...

I completely bungled this fight. I'm not sure why or how anymore (it's only been a month, but it was not very memorable), but it just went by so simply and without issue. I'm glad to hear it went off better for you though!

I could certainly be crazy, but whatever I did over there never had the numbers of known spells line up properly. shrug

I made a similar version of the West Wind Monk subclass, but it was flavored with cold instead of lightning for one of my players. You can definitely do that, though I will warn that getting some things to work fully may take some real effort to be more than just a text field, especially the...

Episode 13 - Burning Questions First things first, I know it has been a while. I can only say sorry. I've been keeping up with the remastered episodes as they come out, but we haven't been putting them out much recently. A combination of holidays, too much effort for reward, and real life have...

Episode 12 - Indomitability This episode certainly went differently than I had expected coming in. In none of my preparation did I consider the idea that they might try what they did, so I had to improvise on the fly what would happen and how it would work. I do think it went very well though...

I think this is where it starts.

You know I had always assumed it was an oversized wyvern, but that wouldn't normally have that terror effect attached to it. My next thought was Vorax-Hul, but I don't think it is ever stated that he has bat-like wings later on. I thought this was an easy question, but I must say that I actually...

I'd agree that I don't think things need to really change. While it was a bit confusing for them, I don't think it was awful either. I do think it is meant to feel like setting Lee up for a future bad guy, but that is why I felt like him just appearing after that felt weird. It was almost like...

My players had the same thoughts. It is counter-intuitive to everything that gaming has taught us over the years to head back out of the dungeon before completing their mission. They were chasing Lee the whole time, so him not being there was disappointing for sure. Eventually they did decide to...

The ending is so well done. In a bind? Use a funny voice and get them sidetracked. (y)

As it has been a 10 posts now, I feel it is within limits to plug our episodes again on Spotify, Google Podcasts, Apple Podcasts, and Youtube. Episode 11 - Devil in the Fire This episode is going to open strangely for the audience as it occurred before we considered the product for our...
