    Session 6 - Chapter 1 REINCARNATION The adventurers had lost a party member. They didn’t dare go below the trap door to face the priest, but nor did they dare leave. They could reincarnate Ashlyn in the morning, once Arianna memorized the spell. Of course, they’d only just woken up and come to...

    Session 6 went off splendidly tonight with new player Mike and his house... which was just the best, most atmospheric room that I've ever thrown a die in. Mike's not too shabby either. He has a Sega Genesis connected to the TV, two very cool dogs, and a great disposition. Dream player, dream...

    Session 5 - Chapter 2 GOING TO THE CHAPEL In the morning, the four adventurers and Jade collected their things and began discussing how they were going to move through the streets to the church. “There’s maybe a hundred and fifty feet from here to the church, but it’s going to be a hard...

    Session 5 - Chapter 1 REGROUPING The adventurers carefully secured the upstairs by barricading the staircase, this time with much greater care. A couch was tied securely to both posts of the stair’s banisters and the door remained blocked. The second story was much like the first abandoned...

    Looks that way. I promised her a better time next session and I can pretty much guarantee that. She's already rolled for reincarnate. She got... a troglodyte.

    Man. Tonight's session... I've been called a RBDM before, whatever the hell that means, and I think tonight I topped myself. We had a new player tonight who's never played D&D before. She's a childhood friend of mine. She spent a couple of hours going over her new character and reading up on...

    Session 4 - Chapter 2 CAST OUT “You’ve been to Ravenloft?” Ismark asked. Every eye was on Arianna. The elf squirmed uncomfortably in her seat. “Um. Yes, but… it was just the first place we visited on Farplane.” “It was?” “Actually, uh, no… we passed through a town after calling at port...

    Session 4 - Chapter 1 ASHLYN OF THE LIGHTBRINGERS “Thank you for your assistance,” the woman said as she helped Gerrit to his feet. “Urso is good for bringing you to me when he did.” Gerrit shivered and did his best to shake the feeling of coming very close to undeath. “I assure you, we’re the...

    Had a kinda half-session tonight because I was out all weekend and wanted to get some game in. We're still not up to "the reading" as promised. Cool stuff happened though, interesting character points and all that.

    Session 3 - Chapter 3 MEAT IN THE GRAVE In the second story of the abandoned house, Gerrit was healed to full strength and Arianna refined her wooden sword. Jade licked her fur clean. “Those aren’t normal zombies,” Gerrit said, shuddering. “Those things were tough.” He could feel the...

    Session 3 - Chapter 2 DEAD CITY The two adventurers and the black leopard carefully wove their way up the street, taking the time to avoid touching zombies as they passed. “Remember,” Gerrit said. “If we attack, the spell that hides us is canceled.” Arianna nodded. The scenery was horrific...

    Epilogue DISPLEASED Sometime after dawn, Strahd stood in the study. He was staying well clear of the hated sunlight that streamed in through the window. He was studying a painting that hung on the wall. The portrait was of a woman- young, beautiful, wearing an evening gown with her hair tied...

    The game was super fun tonight... I'm incredibly weary and tired right now, but this was the kind of session you live for, where great things happen just in the nick of time. Oh man am I groggy.

    Oh, they game. They're not super crazy regular gamers, but they know a plot device when they see one. I like to think they were inside the characters, who actually didn't want to get in. I liked it, it made things interesting. I just hadn't expected to have to go that way. On railroading, I...

    Session 2 - Chapter 1 RAILROADED “Excuse me, ma’am,” Arianna said to a passing woman. “I was wondering if you could tell us anything about the village of Barovia.” The woman glared at them with thinly veiled enmity. “What, do the devil’s minions come out in daylight now? I think you know all...

    The game went oddly tonight. Ever have that feeling like you're having a really bad headache, but without the pain? My head was a mess- complete disorientation, couldn't stay in character, couldn't convey the direction the dialogue was taking... tons of problems tonight. Wasn't my best session...
