    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    Initializing Bruse Shantus The constables were called to Bruse Shantus’s labyrinthine arena. The other petitioners had gathered in the bleachers to watch the festivities.

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    A Beautiful Feathered Tyrant Before leaving Seobriga, the constables dealt with another of Summer’s recovering memories. Summer felt the Arc of Reida pulling her to a part of town that Cazara recognized as home to a monument of the first time a foreigner slew a Beran dragon. Worried that the...

    Across to Ber After several weeks, the constables were making their way out of Elfaivar, by way of the Danoran colony of Port Perrault. The port was originally established as a base for privateers during a previous way with Risur, and so the town was a bit rougher than other Danoran settlements...

    Take A Look Inside The TEMPLE OF ELEMENTAL EVIL Board Game!

    We combined Ravenloft and Ashardalon and then do the Ashardalon scenario where you only find out what the actual objective is when you're halfway through the game. Haven't picked up Drizzle.

    Worth mentioning that Summer (a 13th-level Sorcerer/Bard hybrid) took out the level 20 Kolyarut all by herself, and I didn't level it down at all. She needed 15+ to hit it, and she dropped two 17s and two crits (and a 5) in 4 successive rounds. The +4d12 crit bonus of the First Blade of Srasama...

    Summer's player studied Japanese, so I had her give me a list of names to replace Launga, Dala, Bhalu, and Resal with names that would make sense for her. We all decided together that Kasvarina Varal was a post-Malice pseudonym used by Summer. In our world, there are (at least) two dominant...

    They had a lot of fun with it. I had everyone who failed their WIS check take on one of the roles in the memory, going them their motivations and (some of) their knowledge. For this first session, I did have to feed people lines from time to time to make the memories have the right conclusions...

    Sharp Hat After their success in Ingatan’s Refuge, the constables stayed the night again with the Children of Hewanharimau, enjoying another feast of delicious but unfamiliar meats. In the morning, they were trying to decide on their next business. Summer said the Arc of Reida was pulling her...

    The Future is Now The constables made their way into the next archway, prepared to see their future. Through the fog, they found themselves on the top floor of a five-hundred-foot-tall tower in the middle of a wasted, abandoned city. The tower rose into a spire above the floor they were on, and...

    [UPDATED] Has ADVENTURER'S HANDBOOK Been Cancelled?

    Sure, if you hate Barbarians and Bards and Druids and Monks and Gnomes and Half-Orcs, that's a great way to get into 4e.

    D&D 5E (2014) Magic Ammunition

    Aha! I missed that. Now we're back where we started. Er, not quite.. They're not expended unless they hit. I guess it's up to the DM if they're part of the half ammunition you get back or if they fly off into the stratosphere (or an innocent bystander just off-camera)

    but... "At the end of the battle, you can recover half your expended ammunition by taking a minute to search the battlefield." Surely you'll get back half your magic arrows after every fight.

    ZEITGEIST BSI: Bosum Strand Irregulars

    Ah, it occurs to me that I never covered the Paragon Paths the characters took. No one took the Paragon Path that matched their Theme, but we had some crossover. I handwaved some of the requirements, depending on how much it made sense for the character. Cazara (the Vekeshi Mystic) took Urban...

    I'd forgotten about the exact nature of the tea set at first, so I just told them they had a lovely bit of tea that night. But at the start of last night's session, I had each of the people who drank the tea tell me about one of their character's old friends who they had lost touch with and then...

    Back to the Beginning The constables headed out into the jungle, following the directions from the Clergy chaplain. Before long, they came upon a temple set in the middle of a forked waterfall. Water fell to the right and left of a huge four-armed statue of a sitting Eladrin. Beneath the statue...

    Shadow of the Colossus, part II The Constables chased Borne to the harbor. By the time they arrived, he had already been engaged by the Royal Fleet. The Constables heard the familiar voice of Harkover Lee in their heads. “The king could use your assistance aboard the RNS Coaltongue. Do you...
