The dice were fairly normal during that fight. No flagrant crits or misses. The way the encounter with the Stag Lord was written, he wasn't supposed to appear on the scene until late in the fight. I actually brought him in a little sooner, otherwise none of his people would have been alive...

SUNDAY NIGHT TEASER 1) A new kingdom is born, and our heroes become leaders. 2) Yet growth is slow, and not without incident as rumors and quests abound! 3) Eventually, the pull of the open road calls to our heroes once more, yet the needs of the people cannot be ignored, and their idle...

THE STAG LORD COMETH The fortress of the Stag Lord, such as it was, sat on the northern shore of the lake known as the Tuskwater. Perched on a low hill surrounded by grassland, it was actually more of a ruin than a true redoubt, though the high wooden palisade surrounding it would make a...

Thanks for the feedback, Neurotic, and welcome! I enjoy the dialogue too, and I'm hoping that as Kingmaker progresses, with the actual kingdom-building in motion, we'll be able to develop the personalities of the characters even more. Most of the time in my descriptions of combat, I'm summing...

We'll definately have to put up some more "action" photos, and a video is not out of the question either...will have to find the right moment...preferably when I crit someone and yell, "Eat it!" SUNDAY NIGHT TEASER 1. The group sets a course for the fortress of the Stag Lord 2. They manage...

THEY MITE BE KOBOLDS They could see the 100-foot-tall sycamore from several miles away. As they drew closer to it over the next few hours, only then could they truly appreciate its immensity. Still, it was what they discovered along their trek to the tree that absorbed their attention. There...

There's no dedicated healer! You are correct! The oracle, the inquisitor and the druid have some limited capacity, but otherwise it's every man for himself. They'll be needing that discount from the potion maker! P.S. The ruler has already been chosen...

That is indeed the Emissary, and it was worth the wait (and price)! I know what you mean about old school, and the good thing about Kingmaker is that there are aspects of that in the overarcing campaign. Give it a try...I really think you'll enjoy it.

Our new game table, "in action!"

Thanks for your long-term readership! I always love hearing from long-timers! I actually think the sandbox aspect, the mapping, and eventually, the kingdom growing are all a part of what has most excited our group about this particular AP. Several of our players are avid board gamers, regular...

SUNDAY NIGHT TEASER 1) The would-be kings find themselves in the midst of a war-in-miniature. 2) When sides are chosen, a past act of kindness pays off in spades! 3) However, even when you pick the "winning" side, there's always a hitch, isn't there?? 4) Several more assignments are...

THE WIND IN THE WILLOWS It wasn’t hard to find the spot marked on the map. The lone tree was the only one they’d seen in a two-mile radius of the lonely hill. It looked to have been struck by lightning, and its bare branches reached up towards the clouds like a burned and deformed claw...

Yeah, repeating crossbows are nice, especially if you mix it with an elemental/elemental burst typ damage. He can also take a lot of crossbow specialist feats, as well as some rogue talents like bleeding sneak attack. The force bow is in the magic item compendium, if I'm not mistaken.

It was WAY overpowered! I hated every stinking minute of it! I dreamed about ways to sunder it, or disjunct it! DR is a game balancer when you're dealing with high level PC's. Give them the ability to bypass it completely, with a weapon that can hit five times per round, and there goes your...

Well, yes they are, but the group only just reached 3rd level, so "fully charged" is relative. When you're low level, you're just one critical hit away from death! At this level, even the random encounters can be life or death, as evidenced this past week, in which the PC's were forced to flee...

Force Bow...bypassed all DR!! Nerfed in Pathfinder!!

SUNDAY NIGHT TEASER (2 days late) 1) Tuskgutter is bearded in his lair...and is found to have a glass jaw 2) A potential new ally is found...if only they could speak his language 3) When their explorations take them into the swamp lands, the company finds the local fauna both hungry, and...

Mox's player joined us late, and I haven't had a chance to get her backstory up yet. Essentially, she is from a minor noble family, on the run from an arranged marriage, as well as her perception that she would be labeled a freak since the manifestation of her sorcerous powers.

BORDERLANDS “Is this it then?” Velox asked as he paced calmly before the two bound brigands. “Is this all of you?” “N..no!” one of them stammered, as he looked nervously around at the bodies of his former comrades. “We’ll tell you whatever you want to know!” “I’m sure you will,” Velox...
