Going back to the suggestions theme; one lovely trick they had in an old WFRP module (Power Behind the Throne) was that the DM's information an tips for running the NPC were on a strip of paper, at the top of which was the NPC's image - only upside down. This meant that you could pre-select the...

16th April * So we still find ourselves in the village / caves of the Seela, the race of singing fairyfolk that are bound to the forest. Having weighed up our options we decide upon our plan of action, visiting the Hag of the Lake (Gwenlyn) and retrieving the lock of Anyariel’s hair with which...

I had immense fun playing Erdan Menash as an extremely camp rather predatory older half orc. The goliath bard caught his eye. There were jokes...

9th April * With the fiery critter menace ended (for now!), we take a few moments to see to our wounds (our poor infected wounds!) and Lembit (rather sensibly) insists upon disposing of the temporarily dead burning vermin. We gingerly transport the bodies back to the river and pitch them in...

Colour me intrigued. Steampunk is always a winner as far as I'm concerned! The primer looks really good, I thought - lovely map, I quite like the background, tbh - and the stuff up the edges looks good too.

26th March * We converge upon the hole in the ground that our sorcerer ally fell down, we spy him some 40ft down, his leg and possibly worse broken upon the pile of rubble below, the rest of the cavern (as we discover it is, our hole the only visible entrance at the top of a high dome of stone)...

We got spammed and I missed it? Awww... Thank you. I can't take the credit for the work on this SH - I'm just DM'ing it (and it's going pretty well so far, I reckon). One of my players is working hard to record it all and then even harder to write it up for us!

19th March * Having dealt with Kane’s little bat related booboo we traverse the bridge, picking out a route across its more stable sections and continue on our merry way through the fire forest, making decent progress (for the situation, poor visibility and choking air) until our path takes us...

Had a couple of weeks without enough players for what turned out to be a rather fight-heavy session, but we now return you to your regularly scheduled update! --------------- 12th March * We find ourselves approaching a farm (very much on the decline given the quality of the soil so near to...

Suggestion, therefore - make the amulet a daily 'take no damage from burning sky effect', or 'resist fire 50 1/day' or something? Kills two birds with one stone.

* The session begins with us on the streets, being escorted through the streets by a patrol of Gatepass cavalry our disguises still safely tucked in saddlebags. As we head through one of the districts there is the sound of a commotion up ahead and our escort leaves us to deal with that. * There...

I have to admit, I had a bit of a blast running this session. Several RP scenes, including a horrifically cod-irish imp and then coming on to the party's two high charisma members interpreting Erdan Menash's as a sugar daddy persona. Did my best to freak out 'Darling Brick's player, but he...

* At Gabal’s school we bump into Diogenes smoking Tabac, we engage in some chit chat and small talk, mostly led by Lembit wishing to display his many “familiars” in a flea circus style display, Diogenes is not amused by this performance at all. * However he changes his opinion when we mention...

With some of us a bit broken and bloody we reach the temple of wine and revelry, but it certainly doesn’t live up to its name. Filled to capacity with the wounded and dieing, people came seeking refuge and found as much as the priests could spare. Here we follow Torrent as she seeks a way...

Another vote for The Enemy Within (confusingly the first module is also called 'The Enemy Within', and is frequently sold as part of a book with the second part, 'Shadows over Bogenhafen'. The campaign now has 2 end modules - the published one is very fight-y and involves a crusade over the...

Session 2 over. Went well if I'm any judge. One fatality (which got fixed very quickly) and 3 good fights. Also we got to have a 'bard-off' featuring the awesome power of the goliath jazz flute. (Not a euphemism). And a complete re-write of the crypt encounter.

Morrus likes him some long campaigns... Our 3.0 campaign reached about 18th, in the 3.5 campaign I think I reached level 21 with a bard. That has to be worth a medal. We've reached level 21 in War of the Burning Sky so far and are going strong. Another mate's homebrew we fought our way up to...

Yeah. I've played to level 21 of it in 4e which Morrus has been running, and now I'm running it from the start for my group. We'll be starting properly a week on Saturday in a group with 2 strikers which plays for an hour or two more each week than the Thursday group with no strikers - so I'm...

Yeah. Sorry about the short notice - previous game plan fell through at short notice! Went really well, though - next session's in a fortnight, then I think we're a regular weekly thing. 8-9 books behind the other group, I wonder how long before we catch up? ;)

First things first, I can't take any of the credit for the writeup; it comes from one of my players who I don't think exists on the boards at this time. However feedback is (as ever) welcome, and I think session 2 is in about a month once we've finished another campaign, then we're likely to...
