I was pretty busy this week, so I didn't get the session recaps done that I wanted! So I will post up some setting information. This entry is what I provided to players first to start building their characters. I'll save the gods and some other things for the next time I'm not as well prepared...

Of the actual tables I've sat in, maybe 10% (not counting the recent Boston game day!) of the people there are forum users beyond maybe lurking a bit and posting once in a blue moon. However, since I do most of my gaming online, about 50% of the people I game with use general traditional RPG...

Managed to bork those a bit so I will summarize: No enemies escaped the tentacles this round. Cumulatively, Arrow Demon 1 has received (1 + 0) 1 damage. Arrow Demon 2 has received (3 + 0) 3 damage. The Conflagration Ooze has received (7 + 6) 13 damage. Dretch 1 has received ([5-1]+[6-1]) 9...

Ah, around here, Borders was the closest to a FLGS that I've found in town. :( I don't like to buy off Amazon very often, personally, or other e-tailers generally speaking. Thanks, El Mahdi, for the link! I was also interested to see that they're selling 30 stores to Books-A-Million. When I...

Round 2 End: Evard successfully resists the cloud of ick and casts fly, lifting himself over the roiling cloud of yuck. Mook is laid out in the middle, but is oblivious to the smell. Cohen the Barbarian and Angel Summoner race to the other side to escape the hellish fart vapors. Round 3...

Crossposted from CM: Borders bookstore chain has entered Chapter 7 bankrupty. They are liquidating all inventory and fixtures. Currently, their stock is discounted between 10% and 40%, and fixture prices are negotiable--so if you want to buy shelving or that sweet espresso machine, name a...

Move up as in vertically, or move up as in "get over cloud, then head towards enemies"? Just clarifyin'. :)

Most of the musical types I know I would consider "lawful" in D&D terms; the theater types? Not so much. . .

"Vampires suck"? Xigbar, be careful that you're not having wrongbadfun with your group. I've heard that the legos dungeon thing can really, really click with a group. Every time I whip out the legos, though, I have to contend with stepping on and vacuuming up tiny blocks in the next three...

So, I'll just pipe in with my one year of knife fighting experience--did it during kickboxing. Our instructor was an odd dude and insisted we learn knife fighting before unarmed knife defense. What I got from it is that I never, ever want to be in a knife fight. Barring throwing your knife or...

I was trying to save rolls to make those grapple checks go faster... Oops. Consider them for "next round." Round one, one arrow demon summoned 5 dretches, second arrow demon fired 4 shots from 2 bows (woo!) at Evard, conflagration ooze confused the monk, who decided to attack the mighty Cohen...

Whew, coming in late with this one. This entry marks the end of our opening RPs. I conducted each individually over pbp, and they were, I thought, a pretty fun way of getting into the swing of things. Next we get to deal with the dratted GM NPCs in the party. (I'm still surprised that, so far...

Edited for poster idiocy! Corrected map below. (Maybe I've a penalty to cartography after sunset.) 1. dretch 4: scare (DC 12) vs. Cohen (heh) 2. dretch 5: stinking cloud (DC 13) - see green circle for location

Alright, looks like the monk failed to resist the ooze's confusion effect. The monk will attack the nearest creature: in this case, Cohen.

Are they going to get through most of the castle and finish the game, only to realize that they could have flipped the dungeon upside down and had double the fun? Just go get a copy of the Symphony of the Night map from gamefaqs.com and use that. Extra props if you actually make it a 2D...

Looks like Evard got off scot free; feel free to roll grapples for his tentacular assault.
