Back at the safehouse, the group were disappointed to learn that Torrent and Rivereye weren’t back yet. Burron, however, was fulsome in his thanks for the destruction of the nest of enemies within the city. “The armies of the Ragesians are practically upon us,” said the panicked resistance...

Somewhat... We're a book and a bit away from where I left off here. It's weighing heavily on my conscience at the moment!

I'm not having a go at the NPCs. They're actually a very neat little mechanic, especially when our group's a bit on the small side at the moment! The 'aaargh, NPC is taking fire' moment (especially when Crystin would go bloodied after a heavy sneeze) was pretty frightening - sort of like 'lost'...

I'm so far behind on the Story Hour, it's insulting. And honestly we do get very cross at the NPCs. We now have 4 of them trotting around with our (sometimes 3 person!) party. We've had to be rescued by the NPCs when we've bitten off more than we can chew, so it doesn't do to be too rude to...

I resent the suggestion that we're a bunch of war criminals. The worst we did was allow some ages-past-her-prime obsessive-depressive tree-hugger to get stabbed in the chest by some equally-depressed cthonic winged dude because we were all too stupid to think that he might do something right in...

We got to the end of the campaign with a cleric, a fighter/rogue archer and a bard. The barbarian disappeared before the final session. We had a necromancer in the early days, but he also vanished. The necromancer (specialised wizard) just added sinister and an edge of ethical dubiousness to...

I'm currently playing in both, though I run every third Scales of War adventure. In terms of character, planning (from what I can judge as I've not seen the DM's book - though Scales doesn't have a DM's book which annoys the heck out of me. Scales of War's laid out clumsily with monsters and...

In the daylight, the devastation was revealed. Almost every building showed some sign of damage or abandonment. Many shopfronts were shattered, and many dozens of homes were burning in the early light. A few brave souls on the streets spread worrying news; the Ragesians had been driven back, but...

Languages. In our game, our DM (who will remain nameless... :P) has referred to the Shahalesti speaking their own language. Assuming Shahalesti and Elven to be different, it should be mentioned in the Player's Guide. If they're not, it should be clear to the DM. I'm assuming Ragesian is...

Joined by Tok’hen, a mail-clad human military commander who came with the was recognised by Torrent, the group continued on their way to the temple of the Knights of the Aquiline Cross. Torrent promised that underneath the temple was a resistance safe house. It was now late at night, and the...

Thank goodness. That's session one written up. 3 more to do and then I'll be up to date. Though that may be subject to change, as we're playing again this evening!

Trudging through the snow to the fallen warrior, the companions paused over his smoking form. “He looks a bit familiar,” muttered Tyr. “The tabard on the horse has got some kind of black horse insignia,” replied Grusalock, even as he calmed the panicking animal with his confident manner. “He...

I'll get there eventually. It's been an insane couple of weeks, with added wedding, exhaustion and illness. I'm now 2.5 sessions behind, for my sins...

My gaming bag, which contains: 3 sets dice Character sheet and action cards. Pens, pencils and paper 2 different sets of miniature markers 300+ minis Cardstock floorplans Blank grid map & pens PHB, copies of 'power' books It's a heavy bag.

My instinct when I read the first couple of posts here was different to several other posters. I've run into 3 or so types of monsters which have stopped the party from using encounters or dailies (usually save ends). Nothing (except those evil DMs above who are going to dominate the poor...

Glimpsed through the window, the companions could see a small group of thugs, led by a horseman who was off to one side. From the side door, the sound of barking dogs could be heard; briefly eclipsed by another shuddering slam of a heavy timber against the front door. As Tarn strapped his...

We've done a few bits and pieces since the end of Worms. Tried out 4e with a few short games, given Russ a break by 3 of us running either 4e or M&M. The 3 of us who reached the end of Age of Worms are back, with a new guy. I've picked up Tarn Halfelven, paladin of the Lady of Sorrows and ex...

Snow lay thickly on the ground and continued to drift silently as four friends trudged through the dark streets of Gate Pass. Rumours of the Ragesian army’s imminent arrival were so rife that even on New Year’s Eve the streets lay empty and silent, and the tracks from the four’s footprints were...

I ran a supers game where there was a band of 'subway pirates' who pulled up in their jolly-roger clad underground carriage, leapt out with flintlocks and cutlasses and terrorised a station-full of people before vanishing into the hidden tunnels... Why not do something similar - an ancient...
