    More stuff's coming, we've just been in a hiatus and I've been lazy about writing.

    Session 9 - Chapter 1 SECRETS AMONG FRIENDS In the morning, the group woke and shuffled out of the blacksmith’s shop into the dim light of the city street. The night had been miserable and the day offered no cheer, just the same overcast gray murk that was every day in Barovia. There were more...

    Tonight's session was KILLAH... the players did things I didn't expect, which has been par for this campaign, but this time it completely worked out. Great drama. Action, intrigue, and a cliffhanger. Aaaand

    Session 8 - Chapter 3 TORN TO PIECES The group left the cave and searched the crag of rock around it. They didn’t find the Tome or any werewolves, but evidence of their living around the cave was everywhere. Bones, tufts of shedded fur, and spoor marked this as their home. Arianna even found a...

    Session 8 - Chapter 2 THE DEN Drizzle fell as they continued walking. The moisture collected on the branches and large cold droplets fell down the backs of their cloaks, making them even more miserable than they’d been, trudging through a werewolf-infested black forest as they were. Arianna...

    Session 8 - Chapter 1 THE MOON’S CHILDREN They walked south, past the crossroads. They hurried as the shapes of black mist began to re-form from the graves there. The road curved to the east and they walked until the road came close to the thick wall of trees that marked the start of the...

    Session 7 - Chapter 3 FIRESIDE CHAT Strahd held his hands over the bonfire. “How bravely, and how bright, the fire burns against the darkness… not knowing how easily it can be extinguished.” He looked like a kindly grandfather warming himself at a fire, until he turned his head to her and the...

    It feels like just a few people are reading. Lurkers, want to throw in here? I'm considering dropping the weekly write-up. The lack of responses is getting depressing, boo hoo.

    Session 7 - Chapter 2 THE READING The Lightbringers walked west on the road out of Barovia. Jade, in her new form as a giant crocodile, was having trouble keeping up. She was twenty feet long from nose to tailtip and fearsomely large but her stubby little legs were far inferior to the lithe...

    Session 7 - Chapter 1 SPOKESMEN In the morning, Gerrit was reincarnated. The sheet was placed over him and as it deflated, Arianna held her breath. The sheet rose back up in a familiar shape. When it was pulled back, it was the old Gerrit… a halfling. He blinked. “I’m… back?” “You’re back...

    Now that we've finally got five players, it's time for one of those "dramatis personae" sections. I went by ear on this one with what I've got- if any of you players out there want to correct / add anything, let me know. Human Paladin 8 ASHLYN Ashlyn appears to be a pretty woman with perfectly...

    Session 6 - Chapter 4 IREENA The group approached the burgomaster’s mansion at the south end of town. The house was aged and dilapidated and behind a rusting iron fence. The gates had been twisted open; one lay torn from its hinges, while the other swung crazily in the wind, screeching and...

    Ooh, questions! Thanks. I've got some problems with the module and I've altered it a bit. My biggest complaint is that (and I'm not spoiling much, but I'll block it anyway) Well, that's tricky- I'm not the best with game balance, but we've been doing pretty well so far with the new characters...

    Note: Thendrick was improperly credited with line of the week for Session 6 ("maybe we shouldn't put it that way"). It was really Toufghar who busted out the funny. It's been corrected. It's also come to our attention that for whatever reason, we were wrong- Reincarnation requires a body that's...

    I know I'm not done with Session 6 yet but Session 7 went off tonight. I've gotta say, I'm proud of how some things turned out. Some great mood was harvested during one scene, and I completely improvised a big chunk of the story that fed into the overall plot quite nicely. By the end everyone...

    Session 6 - Chapter 3 THE AMAZING THENDRICK “I think Gerrit’s dead,” Toufghar wheezed as the rage left him. “Damn,” Ashlyn said. “Can’t we have four party members for more than a half hour?” Arianna began gently loading the halfling’s body into his haversack. A muted call came from the wall...

    I don't know what the hell druids do. I hate druids. It's all homey-brewey... This is the campaign world I was going to use a few years back, never got a chance.

    Session 6 - Chapter 2 INTO THE PIT Ashlyn and Arianna searched the main level of the church properly. Arianna found a nook in the altar with a hidden journal, some religious trappings, and a piece of ancient parchment. She looked at this last item and skimmed the text. “It seems to be a...
