The final session of the CoC adventure that our Shattered Star GM wrote to give us a break/palette cleanser between AP chapters. We wandered around in the dark for a bit, and the (with a few luck rolls) escaped from the creepy mine and then the creepy small town that serviced it. Then, being PIs...

Thursday: Did our job. Called feds.

Funnily enough I was flicking through Complete Arcane just yesterday, and I wondered if it had any backstory before that (well, before Tome & Blood in 3.0). Question answered! Out of curiosity, does the sidebar on adapting to existing settings say anything about geographical locations? I have...

Sunday: Thieves'-guild boss ran away.

Well, about ten anyway. It was the last session of part 2 of my homebrew PF2 mini-campaign, and they were fighting the boss - a stygira. It was always going to be a tough fight (a level 7 creature vs a level 3 party), but it did not help that the big bad's rolling was mostly on fire, and the...

Thursday: Death of a thousand shocks.

The end of the previous session (which was two weeks previously due to the GM going on holiday), we accidentally sounded the alarm in the dungeon/thieves' guild we were infiltrating - we tried to knock out some sleeping guards so they stayed asleep (well, my character was knocking them out - the...

Sunday: Whole session played in rounds.

I am not the OP, but however many minions the BBEG has to start with, eventually you are going to clear them out and take a swing at the Big Bad themselves (assuming you are eventually going to win). And at that point, activating Aura of Justice is rarely a bad move. That said, while it is...

Firstly, I hope they have the discipline to not actually make a 5.5. I am strongly of the opinion that 3.5, while a fine game in its own right*, was a terrible revision of 3.0 (too many small-medium changes for an incremental revision, not enough big changes to really fix much of significance)...

Quite simple this one. Our standard practice for our Thursday groups is to go ahead if one player is missing (with someone else controlling their character), but cancel for two. And we had two players on holiday (since we are all online these days anyway, one was going to join us but then his...

Thursday: Session cancelled due to two holidays.

That is a big list, and I was going to go through an try to sort things by priority, but I decided to just pick something an get on with it. And this is the thing I picked: First things first, in the original ELH Epic magic items can basically exceed any and all limits placed on magic items in...

Where am I? Going back through all the bullet points and removing the ones I think I have already addressed, I still end up with quite a list: Maybe make Epic Rage compatible with skalds? EDIT: On reflection, probably a bad idea to give that much martial power to a 6-level caster who can spread...

Continuing our CoC adventure, we traced the dodgy whiskey to an illegal distillery hidden in an old mine. Unfortunately, we got locked in and had to take a long route through the darkness to get out. We set upon by tentacle-faced gribblies which shut down our electric lights (although luckily...

Thursday: Tentacle monsters in the dark. Sunday: Curse your sudden inevitable betrayal.

I rather like the idea (which I saw somewhere on the Internet) that the reason that the Bluetspur elder brain became a darklord was that it was the one that came up with the idea of lying to the illithid populace about what happens after death and sold it to the other elder brains. When you...

Finally finished going thorugh the my to do list. Well, for small values of finished - mostly just the stuff to be made into Legendary feats, although I did add the new Epic feats from the previous post (dropping "Epic" from its name - too many Epics already), and make a few minor corrections...

I sometimes worry that this is me every session.... _ glass.

I am now officially slightly older. In celebration of that, I spent pretty much all day yesterday playing. I wanted to custom write something, but having failed to do that in any sort of reaonable timeframe, I instead ran an adventure from an old Dungeon Magazine (Muster for Morach Tor from...
