Asrabey goes to confront Ekossigan and is told that the Ob hold Kasvarina in the Bleak Gate. Stunned, he allows the murderous ritual to go ahead and joins Ekossigan and his fey warband in their assault, but they are decimated by the Ob's defences (in particular by Quital's storm of steel). The...

Session 237, Part Three The Distant Plane From afar, Apet appeared to be nothing but a ball of whirling dust. Once the Coaltongue had pierced these clouds, though, a much more bizarre reality was revealed: Apet was not a place of stone and rock, but of pure, solid force. The ground consisted...

Session 237, Part Two The Final Murmur This planar mote was smaller than most, barely ten miles across, and it floated ten miles from Mavisha. As they drew closer, Uru, Uriel and Leon noticed that proximity to the plane was rapidly draining the ship’s arcane levitationals. So they once again...

Well, you had a lot on your plate at the time. Yes, it was a lovely way to dispatch the savant. Mustn’t forget, though, that the players made the assumption they had dealt with the savant. They haven’t realised there are more on Shabboath, simply that the one the killed was responsible for all...

Session 237, Part One The Mysteries of Mavisha Searching for a way to effectively bond with Mavisha, they flew across the surface of the sea, heading towards the nearest unexplored island. On the way they flew over an atoll where a small group of fishmen were clustered over the carcass of a...

Session 236, Part Three The Mirror of Opposition Their route caused them to approach Mavisha from the south-east, where the plane did not abut another, and gave on to the cold, cold emptiness of space. The waves and chop of the surface came to an abrupt end, and a sheer, smooth face of water...

Session 236, Part Two Padyer, Av and the Plain of Rice They returned to Padyer, to investigate the warded tower they had found last time, when both Uriel and Leon had been otherwise occupied. Timing their touchdown to avoid the boiling seas, they dispelled the wards and gained entrance, while...

Session 236, Part One A Trip Down Memory Lane Helandra’s memory was dim, despite the boost to her spirit from the plane of ruin, and what she remembered had to be teased out by careful questioning. Gupta called on the others to help, as although she knew Helandra best, and had the closest...

Conversations with the Dead - A Prologue to Zeitgeist Season 7 The unit spent an extra day on Nem, to allow those who had brought along lost ghosts of the Bleak Gate to converse with them, here where their spirits were strong enough to be seen, heard and even physically interact with. Helandra...

Not only do I remember, but I attribute the success and longevity of our campaign (at least in part) to the method of character generation we used. It was indeed something similar to a pitch. I asked the players to think about two things: Firstly, what role their character would play if the...

In fairness, the depth and variety may not reside in the original system. The variety is there for sure, but characters tend to be less 'deep'. Any depth comes from the use of varied cyphers, which don't fit all campaigns or styles. I got rid of the cyphers and added more player power. We've...

As we head into the final phase of the adventure path, I thought I would pause to consider our line-up one last time, talk about their mechanical development, and say a few words that might help to clarify how the team works together. I very much hope there won’t be any changes between now and...

Still confused about that whole Avilona-is-weak thing. Its explained at several points in the AP as being due to something the Ob did and/or the sundering of the link to Avilona on Axis Island (when the fossiled tree eroded). Later, this weakness explained as being inherent to Avilona. Which...

Well if I knew I could do that, or how to do it, I may very well have done. (Besides, I was only kidding, not that bothered really.)

Also not keen on being described as a ‘registered user’. Makes me sound like I’m on a methadone program.

I wish we had Lowe’s in the UK, just so I could boycott them.

Fun stuff. I like it. Risur could also make fey-friendly biotech by keeping Mojang as the life plane. These two in tandem perhaps?

I was just coming up to level 17. Waah! Weirdly, I have a bunch of ‘reactions’ listed in my profile, but they date back to 2014, nothing more recent.

I'm glad I got that last post in, just before the big upgrade, as it was the final session report before our six-week summer break. Would have been weird to have left it hanging. However, as I was behind posting these reports, the next session isn't all that far away now - less than three weeks...

Session 235, Part Two - The Plane of Ruin The Plane of Ruin Later, while they recovered on the Coaltongue, Korrigan explained his plan of action. “We need to gather information to give us the widest number of options to secure the best possible outcome for Lanjyr. This only thing we have to...
