Of friendships, deals and lies Just when we're about to discuss about how to proceed further, we spot a flock of birds emanating a magical aura. As we don't know whether these avians have been sent by the beran referees or whether they are actually danoran spy birds, we decide to ignore them...

Ber Games Session 35 During our waiting period for the 2nd audience with Bruse Shantus, we take some time to gather more information about Pemberton and his business in Ber. So we ask for directions and are led to a wooden hut bearing the Pemberton Industries sigil. Unfortunately, Mr...

Three audiences If I remember correctly, we used the pun "Ber-darfsgüter" for the railroad construction part later this adventure. Which translates roughly to needs or necessities. --- The next morning, we are led to the Bruse's throne room where Shantus immediately asks us about our...

yay, it works :D they are pretty cool! And I didn't realize that Dro'marri looks very much like Mario. I'd say that Byron is my favorite even if I've never seen a blue tiefling before.

The trial of adulthood We walk around the court some more and talk to various courtiers only to find out that getting an audience with the Bruse is really pretty much one of the hardest things to achieve in Ber. We also catch the rumor that Bruse Shantus isn't really into this whole governing...

It is a bit obscure: In the tales of Mahabharata, the skilled archer and prince Arjuna participates in a competition to marry Draupadi who is said to be a princess born from fire. The last test requires the champions to shoot a fish through the eye by only looking at its reflection. So not...

To the summer court We soon reunite with Brakken in the embassy and ask him to accompany us to the summer court despite what happened earlier. We tell him about this mysterious Joe Pena guy who might be either targeting us specifically or anyone interested in Tinker Oddcog in general. Brakken...

I guess Larloch would say "mission accomplished". You'll most likely have heard of Szass Tam of the Red Wizards though. He's kind of the only one Larloch has taken as "apprentice".

Glaucia's court Before we teleport to Seobriga, Auryn discusses her upcoming mission and corresponding absence with Andrei and Isobel. She encourages both to live according to their own wishes and asks them to look for her botany projects. As Isobel is still learning to fit in and hasn't...

uh, am I the only one who's skeptical about the "male lead" premise? As much as I like seeing heroes, I'm all for at least a main cast of 3 characters. Unless this is pointing to a Drizzt movie. But I guess the supposed actors are all too buff and tall to play a drow. But I'd DEFINITELY watch...

Hm, I don't see if these two playstyles are really different poles of one and the same scale, but that may have something to do with the fact that the "classic" playstyle is very much described in detail and the "romantic" is given one small paragraph. I am very much an analytical kind of...

A long glass of wine Session 34 Promising to do our best to get our hands on Oddcog, we say goodbye to the King, Harkover Lee, and Lord Price-Hill (or, “the pleasant round of charming gentlemen”, as Auryn would call them... yep, she's totally casually flirting with her superiors) and teleport...

The issue of the Oddcog :) All in all, the opera seems to be a big success though not everyone in the audience seems to have completely grasped the meaning of the story. Carlyle congratulates Auryn on this perfect premiere, even if she's a bit skeptical herself, finding flaws in her...

This book isn't meant to be titillating, on the contrary. It is meant to invoke mature thoughts about the nature of love and sexuality in fictional settings and how to handle them at your table. Far too many games simply take assumptions from our world and carbon-copy them onto a given fantasy...

not necessarily. Playtesting done right can include multiple iterative loops of alternatives and feedback. At worst (or best?) you have to break down and rebuild a lot if you realize that you are about to upset your playerbase. Now video games have the benefit of easy data collection and fast...

I'm sure we once had someone talk about a Drowager (which could be a time-based monster whose favourite prey is drow) My mother language is also very creative with "Lich"es and one of my players is constantly making Lich puns. We even got a city nearby called Lich and a beer called Licher.

Dirge of Vekesh We spend the next days writing reports and analyzing our information. One day, Auryn asks Carlyle to give her one of these old suits he's no longer wearing as she'd love to try out something new. When he asks her what she'd do to his clothing, she just winks and says that it'll...

Thanks for your insight. I read a bit about the SMITE EVIL campaign and it does sound really intriguing to have such an unconventional and dynamic team of paladins as PCs. My last attempt at playing a paladin character was several years ago, and she wasn't planned to be come a paladin at start...

In the pale moonlight We then decide to make all necessary preparations for the arrival of new refugees in Sawyer. So back to Sawyer it is. When we arrive at the main hall and ask for governor Roderick, we are told that she's currently in a meeting with Mr. Pemberton, so we'd have to wait a bit...

So, you got some PCs with a connection to Elfaivar as well? Damn, I'd love to read all about it, but for now I'm afraid of spoilers, even if we got a good grasp on the Obscurati plan and Nicodemus' true identity by now. We'll most likely return to Elfaivar to meet Kasverina and Asrabey this...
