DM notes: man, a session full of combat and dungeon-style exploration makes for a super-short writeup! I have inserted Kaja Stewart and her stolen gidim artifacts into the Witchoil lab. She has them tucked into the pockets of her Lab Coat of Holding. They've already arrested her and confiscated...

The constables regrouped at RHC Headquarters, where they met up with Dr. Aubrey, Nevard, three junior constables, and an entire squad of backup and headed back up the mountain. During their meeting with the brass, another earthquake struck, and Dr. Aubrey wondered aloud what it all meant. Saxby...

This might be my first group to seriously consider becoming obscurati themselves. That meeting with the courier is always one of my favorite moments and I knew Zamfir's player would go for it in a heartbeat. I'm trying to condense things and just hit the highlights of the campaign. We might...

After the Coaltongue was saved, Kind Aodhan held a ceremony where he gave medals to Joe Actual, Zamfir, Joe Virtual, and Geoff Massarde for saving his life. The constables took that day off after the ceremony and came back on Wednesday to make plans for the future. They hadn’t been able to...

After several days of no further leads in the death of Nilasa, the constables were tapped by Saxby to provide security for King Aodhan's visit. Dr. Aubrey, as a consultant, was not invited to what was expected to be mostly an RHC Public Relations mission. The Constables met with the King's...

Since Dr. Aubrey’s player has decided that Divination school (where you roll two d20s at the beginning of the day and can then assign those rolls to anyone, including enemies) plus Suggestion is just the Win button, I have decided that on Obscurati-folk, the Ob Geas is going to stop those...

It’s all in the branding.

Later that night, Thor and Rian separated from the rest of the group to coordinate the search for Dr. von Recklinghausen. Dr. Aubrey, Joe Actual and Zamfir headed to The Cracked Cauldron wine bar to meet with Danoran Consulate security chief LeBrix to get his uncensored version of the morning's...

I just realized that we have a Tortle and a Kenku in the group, who are clearly avatars of Bhoior and Av. If I can just figure out how to shoehorn the other two into being connected to two other planets, I’ve got the makings of an epic finale where the characters have to sacrifice themselves to...

Latest plot idea: the world is messed up and going to fail because they stuffed too many icons into the axis island ritual. One of my favorite Computer rpgs was Ultima VI. Ultima IV is the one that gets all the love in that series. It’s the one where instead of just killing monsters and taking...

I have a perfect place for these stats in my post-Zeitgeist game.

Friday, 6th of Summer: Sergeant Joe Actual delivered the morning briefing. The usual suspects (Gale, Kell, Cippiano) still needed to be investigated. The Rock concert was continuing into its second day. The King was due to visit in three days. More pressing, however, was a suspicious death at...

Fresh campaign idea just to add more elements to this. My Igbrin player was a little disappointed that Saltmarsh doesn't seem like it will have any world-stopping epic content. After a game where they became gods and a game where they got to build a new world, I tend to agree. She'd very...

We had a fairly straightforward exploration of the haunted house from Sinister Secret of Salthmarsh. They spotted smuggler tracks in the first room and followed them to the secret trapdoor that leads to the cellar, where they quickly dispatched three smugglers, but not before B'alam had the...

i set up a calendar to track events, attendance, and phases of the moon: Fantasy Calendar

Two new constables joined the squad: Rian Rhiannon finally showed up for work. Or maybe she was working other cases. This human bard was found with no memory in the Cloudwood some time ago by Glim Glim and recruited into the RHC. She drinks a lot of whisky and has fond feelings for elves but...

Had a great full session yesterday. No time to write it up right now, but I will leave you with this:

After the orientation session, we had a full session this past weekend. The random bar turned out to be The Snapping Line tavern in Saltmarsh. A strange Tabaxi sorcerer joined them and decided that these folks were clearly PCs and useful. And then, after getting to know each other, presented...

There's a lot of good ideas here, but I want to share with you my current favorite house rule: Named NPCs (Especially ones important to the plot) do not die at 0 hit points like your average kobold. Instead, they go unconscious and start making death saves like a PC. You could rule that...
