    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Session 1 – Chapter 1 Fire and War are Good for Commerce _______________ The group of travelers walked on, and Berak began speaking again. “You know, in a perfect world you could be a working man AND use magic items. You could… I don’t know… use a magical quill to sign important documents. Or...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Huh. I'm not reading or even trying to follow that guy's logic... anyone can tell you I'm no game mechanic. Looking at the base numbers for his proposed skill challenge system DO look more "right" to me, though. Thanks Metus. I'm going to put on some coffee and get to writing. EDIT: I have to...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Played tonight. Wow, 4e is fun, eh? I still have a problem with healing surges, but overall it was a great time... combat's interesting now, wheee! I friggin' love skill challenges. Anyway. I'll probably be amending the prologue a bit, and I'll get to writing up session one tomorrow sometime I...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Captain Metus! Hi. No and no. This is going to be 3 people from the Ravenloft campaign and 2 new people. I've moved away from the Knights of Spellforge Keep, though I see them regularly. Xaltar and Ziona have two girls now, and Wee Jas got married last year. Jettok had a baby a few months back...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Ahh, my loyal subjects. Er... readers. Whatever. More than usual, take this one with a grain of meh. I'm not plotting a campaign out of it, I'm just running KotS with the pre-gens and seeing how we like 4e. There's a chance it may catch on and grow into a campaign, but who knows. That's...

    Dr Midnight's Keep on the Shadowfell - Unbelievably updated on 7/30

    Prologue On the King’s Road _______________ Berak was a small, fat, and racially ambiguous creature. He seemed either halfling or dwarf, but was most likely both. No one was rude enough to ask. BERAK’S FINE TRADE GOODS was painted on the side of the loaded wagon. Two aged mules led the cart...

    Gary Gygax has passed. RIP beloved father of RPG's. (merged)

    The man brought me hundreds of hours of fun. I'm going to roll a 12d20 salute at the beginning of the next game I sit down for. RIP Gary.

    The Lightbringers' Expedition to Castle Ravenloft - updated 12/19

    We still haven't played again, and I don't know if we will again. I think I mentioned that one of us is having family problems and Saturdays are largely getting inconvenient for a few people. Unlucky timing's crippled the campaign. Also, I've been discouraged by a few things in-game. I'm going...

    Session 10 - Chapter 2 GLASSHOUSE The Lightbringers entered the garden. Its glass-paneled walls and ceiling were held together with delicate ironwork. Blood-red rosebushes grew from seven deep troughs and curled up through lattices to lace outward over the ceiling, slightly obscuring the...

    Session 10 - Chapter 1 AN AWKWARD MEETING “Oh no,” Ashlyn said. “This is very bad.” “This is phenomenally bad,” Thendrick agreed. “We need to plan. We don’t have time. We can’t go.” Gerrit grabbed Ashlyn by the elbows and shook her, whispering fiercely. “We have to. If we don’t, he’ll know...

    The Lightbringers' Expedition to Castle Ravenloft - updated 12/19

    I was just thinking this last night... I should write up the most recent one. We still haven't played, it's been almost two months since playing. Scheduling has been a bitch. This one's teetering on the verge of just ending for lack of a day to play... which is too bad. I'll try to bang up...

    There's more coming, it's just been hard getting together to play- fall being so busy and all. We've had lots of cancellations. We're playing this coming weekend. There's a whole session I haven't yet written up. Le sigh.

    Session 9 - Chapter 3 RUN FOR IT Running at full speed up the tunnel, Gerrit and Thendrick heard the shriek of despair from Arianna echo past them. Gerrit huffed “He got to her... I can’t believe… she’s gone.” Thendrick said “It may be temporary… We’ll see what we-“ He stopped short as he...

    Update coming in a few minutes. Just wanted to tease you with this session's line of the week, which SADLY was too real world-jokey to make it into the story. Thendrick said it after putting on his sunglasses and getting the band back together. "We're on a mission from Strahd."

    Session 9 - Chapter 2 KNEE-DEEP IN THE DEAD Once more they breached the clearing and Arianna patiently searched the field for traps as they made their way across it. “The cave seems uninhabited,” Gerrit said. “Again.” Toufghar muttered under his breath as he spun his axe’s haft in his palm...
