Naturally I wouldn't expect you to change that (nor should you). The vagueness of the ancient history is exactly what enabled me free reign to build Cal's backstory. That time traveling episode could be interesting. Depending on exactly when they show up, they could run into a very different...

Here was my plan for Cal's past; spoiler protected for Redbadge. earlier you mentioned that you had no plans for the Dawn Wars, so I was gonna take that and run with it. Cal was originally one of many archangels assigned to Lanjyr as "guardian angels". There job was to generally guide and look...

Unless you can find my player a job that gives him Saturdays off, there's not much you can do to help our game back on track lol. However, perhaps you could help me with some background. As you know, I introduced an infernal NPC into my campaign named Caliphax. I'm planning on using him to help...

I'm still floating around. Our Zeitgeist game has gotten delayed some; one of the players is having trouble getting the weekend off to play, and short of having Bellicose struck by lightning, it would be hard for me to explain a sudden disappearance (they basically just walked onto the boat for...

A new adventure and the wheels of progress grind ever onward. The news in Flint is abound with scintillating tidbits. Benedict Pemberton, owner of the Pemberton Industries manufacturing company, is whipping up hawkish sentiments and criticisms in his book "Behold! Science!". Climate researchers...

We're back! (but not from outer space sadly) The winter holiday played merry hob with scheduling our next sessions, but we've managed to squeeze in two more sessions this February. This post will cover both sessions which consisted of the climax encounter of "Digging for Lies" and the initial...

Oh goodness please keep doing the in the news segments for each adventure. I find them a great immersion tool for relating events that aren't directly involved with the players. I even modify them based on the impact of player actions in the previous adventure.

"I say we check the last room from this hallway" The last unopened door in the hall connecting rooms 2, 3, and 4

"Yes; we can see what our options are from there." cue scene transition with spinning batman logo

What I did to make McBannin last a little longer was make his protective aura apply to himself as well as his minions. The double roll mechanic used against the players helped draw the fight out a little; he still didn't last long enough to use all of his curses though.

We're doing the adventure using 4E. I think the encounters could stand to be tweaked a tad harder. Most of the adventuring days have only one or two combat encounters in them which allows 4E characters to front load their daily powers instead of rationing them. Redbadge's character, Kirk, is an...

The constables returned to Flint without any more major difficulty. A messenger met them at the docks and told them that Stover Delft wanted to see them at the museum. The party had the messenger return to RHC HQ and sends a team to secure the prisoners while they went to meet Delft. The...

"I'll hold onto the dagger for now, and I believe we need to backtrack past the beetle room to explore the rest of this floor."

"Right, let's finish searching this floor and avoid that room from now on." How come random chance always seems to favor the bad guys? stupid statistical outliers

The Constables returned to the surface with their new prisoners. Kirk decided to interrogate Finona Duvall while Irony performed the ritual to detect planar energies. Irony suspected that someone present may be host to the alien entity they had come to call No Face. Finona revealed the location...

Snaggle hops backwards and flings a globe of conjured acid at the shade. Free Action: 5ft step to B7 Standard Action: Cast Acid Splash I won't bother with a damage roll. It takes half damage from attacks so the 1d3 will always deal 1 damage.
