One absence this week, but they apologised well in advance and the other 5 turned up on time so the game once again went ahead fairly smoothly. Having got through the exposition, the team headed straight for mount Arreis where the werewolves were rumoured to be imprisoned. A distinct lack of...

Still managing a stable party where everyone turns up on time, which is very gratifying. The party split up, with some of them going down the tunnel leading to the valley from the outside, while two of the flyers watched from above. The feral human was not the best choice for a negotiator and...

Another pretty good session. The player of the Duthka'gith dropped out due to work changing their schedule, but with the 4 established players plus a couple of new ones turning up on time it still seems like we have a pretty decent party. They made short work of the big boss, collected all the...

Looks like we've managed to bounce back this time. One player cancelled in advance, but the other 4 showed up on time and put in a full 3 hours play, doing a bit of backtracking to clear out the rooms missed earlier, and then getting all the way to the room just before the final boss before...

Knew it was too good to last. 3 people cancelled due to other engagements this sunday, so the session is off. Since they did that in advance rather than simply no-showing I have some faith that this campaign might still continue next week. We shall see.

Things actually went smoothly for a change. All 5 players showed up on time. We didn't manage to finish the adventure yet, but did get through 3 combats over the course of 3 hours, plus a few investigation bits in between before someone had to leave. The number of technical hitches was...

Well, that didn't go too badly. 7 people applied, 4 of which showed up for the first session plus one who said they'd double booked but would be there next week. It was a decidedly motley crew. A duthka'gith spellthief who is nominally in charge, but currently very fragile due to the ECL...

I don't think so, because the distinctive borders around those illustrations don't fit their cover format, but it is really hard to know for sure at that resolution.

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 10/10 The Invasion of Pharagos: The final couple of pages on the world of Pharagos and the plans to invade it are once again way too short to really do it justice. The continent level overview of its geography isn’t even as detailed as the...

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 9/10 Culture and Gear: While there is a fair bit of crunch in this part as well, there’s also quite a bit of philosophical thought over the course of these 9 pages. While they might be evil overall, the githyanki are not ravening monsters...

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 8/10 Githyanki Characters: Time to finally get to the meaty stuff, with 17 pages of new options for every stage of character creation. The spell-like abilities they get have been slightly nerfed compared to their previous appearances in the...

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 7/10 First Watch: Erik has trumpeted the coolness of the Fiend Folio several times in the past. It might have been a bit hit and miss, but one person who’s entries were all hits was 16 year old Charlie Stross, who contributed the Gith...

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 6/10 The Lich-Queen's Beloved: Not content with already having the 1st and 2nd largest adventures ever in here, Chris Perkins takes the 3rd place as well with this 44 page monstrosity, pushing Monte down to 4th. After thousands of years of...

Improved invisibility is only a 4th level spell, and he'll have blown his load and teleported away before it wears off.

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 5/10 Critical Threats 2: Despite 3e being built around “fair” fights, there are a lot of rules exploits you can pull to make them very unfair indeed. Jonathan Tweet decides to demonstrate one of the easier ways to cheese your opponents using...

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 4/10 Agents and Allies 2: Looking ahead, it turns out this column doesn’t catch on after all, so these two are all you’re getting. At least it is another interesting one. Lone Tooth is a monk who joined the Sacred Order of Man-Beasts and was...

Dungeon/Polyhedron Issue 100/159: July 2003 part 3/10 100 issues of Dungeon Magazine: This is pretty similar to the retrospective in issue 300 of Dragon, looking at the ups and downs, although as they’re younger and have had fewer editors it’s easier to get them back. Only Anthony &...
