    Mando season 3

    Something fun was the episode of the show titled "The Mines of Mandalore" was the same week I had a Blasters + Intrigue campaign session that had the same title... by sheer coincidence! Adding those mutant creatures to the desert wastes of Mandalore, however, was not a coincidence.

    Mando season 3

    Speaking of Bo-Katan leading... One other thing I thought of. The darksaber only "counts" if you win it in combat. Din was defeated by that spider-creature on Mandalore. Bo took the darksaber from the spider-creature and killed it, rescuing Din. Bo is now the rightful owner of the darksaber...

    Mando season 3

    I loved the episode, but could not wrap my head around why the mother took so long to feed the babies? Bo tracked it back to its nest, flew back to the covert, told them all about it, they made a battle plan, flew back out, camped for the night, climbed the big rock pillar for many more hours...

    Honor + Intrigue Campaign: In the Shadow of the Sun King

    Claude was hoping that by bringing Evelyn to the Library at Midnight (the hour when Henriette's ghost emerges each night) he would be able to convince her to undergo a ritual which would meld their body and soul. Though they had the sword of St. Jeanne, the PCs did not attack Claude, instead...

    Honor + Intrigue Campaign: In the Shadow of the Sun King

    Next, I decided to run a horror module, very derivative of the old original TSR "Ravenloft" module. I changed the setting to the fictional town of De Greve in Brittany and the main antagonist to "Marquis Claude De Greve". For the set-up, I had Pierre the Bear and two other musketeers sent to go...

    Honor + Intrigue Campaign: In the Shadow of the Sun King

    After this point, I ran a series of adventure modules. The first was "Death of a Swordsman" which is being published (tomorrow) as part of the Duelist's Guidebook for Honor + Intrigue. This is when I stopped posting adventure updates online because I didn't want to give anything away from the...

    Erstwhile, our faithful heroes had burst into the office of Jean Garnier via a secret passageway that connected a hidden subterranean temple to pagan gods (Dagon, Ba'al, Tiamat, etc.) As soon as she emerged from what appeared to be a cabinet in an office, Julie noticed the door on the other side...

    Honor + Intrigue Campaign: In the Shadow of the Sun King

    The PCs make their way to the seaside caverns, where they found the water to be knee-deep. At the cave’s entrance, there were two bandits floating facedown in the surf. Examination of the bodies revealed nothing about the cause of death, but Evelyn the Astrologer used her magical gifts of...

    Honor + Intrigue Campaign: In the Shadow of the Sun King

    Julie’s speeding mount was surrounded by three bandits who also each had hostages. Just as they were crossing a bridge, a musketeer (Girard) managed to see them. Fixing his pole-brace, he leveled his musket and fired, dropping low one of the bandits. Julie capitalized on the distraction to cut...

    D&D 5E How do you decide which Races to disallow (and/or Classes)?

    Find out what the players have their heart set on playing the most, and then arbitrarily ban it from the campaign without remorse. At least I have known some in the past who followed this guideline.

    D&D 5E What's the point of gold?

    In our party there is one PC who has a Vorpal Sword and several others with zero magic items, and it is because they cannot buy any. I don't like that they have to rely on the GM to give them to them or the other pcs to decide they get it.
