Alternate 5-word description of our last session: "Dice are fickle, fickle things." Johnathan

In last night's "Ghourmand Vale" game session, the PCs: Teleported back to their headquarters in Ghourmand Vale (from the Greyhawk City/Nyr Dyv area, in which the three previous adventures had taken place), to find out there had been some strange ravens hanging around the HQ, and a high...

Fought rotting, nasty, goo-dripping undead. Johnathan

I just finished Michael Reaves' The Shattered World and am now beginning its sequel, The Burning Realm. The first one was as entertaining as I recall it to have been when I first read it some 40 years or so ago, and I can't wait to see what happens next. Johnathan

Well, best of luck to you on both fronts! Johnathan

It looks like you forgot to update its AC and damage values. And it looks like its saves are off by a bit, too: as a 12-HD aberration (with good Will saves), its Fort save should be +9 and its Ref save should be +9. Johnathan

I have 12d6 that I refer to as my "fireball" dice, because the 1-2-3 faces are predominantly yellow and the 4-5-6 faces are predominantly orange. It's easy to see at a glance whether you did above average damage with them or not, even before you start counting up the numbers. Johnathan

It looks like its AC values are off, since a 20 Dex provides a +5 bonus, not +4 as listed. So, AC = 19, touch = 14, right? (Or am I missing something?) Likewise, a 22 Str provides a +6 bonus, so its tentacle damage should probably be 1d6+6 (including its constrict attack) and its bite damage...

Good deal! Johnathan

Wednesday's game canceled...player COVID. Johnathan

Heather's sticking out like a sore thumb in that alphabetized android list. :) Johnathan

I don't usually read two books at one time, but I occasionally make an exception if one's fiction and one's non-fiction. That's where I am right now: still reading The Shattered World (and enjoying it the second time through, but it's mostly my bedtime reading), but I also started another book...

I think the HD/hp are off: with a 16 Con (+3 bonus), it should be 7d8+21 (52 hp), no? (If I'm doing my hp calculation correctly.) Also, is its name "ember sprite" or "ember sprite gas bag"? You use the latter in the descriptions of its supernatural attacks. I think I'd change "Immunity to...

I started The Shattered World by Michael Reeves, a really good fantasy novel I read in high school and really enjoyed. I'm only rereading it now because I received not only it but its sequel, The Burning Realm, which I haven't read yet and am eagerly wanting to do so - but I figured I'd...

Hey, now! :) Johnathan

I had the PCs chase a nosferatu (a type of vampire, who didn't cast reflections in mirrors) into a pitch-black room where they could hear the sounds of a blazing fireplace. Naturally, they cast a dispel magic on the darkness spell in the room so they could see their foe...which allowed them to...

Actually, I'm fairly convinced Santa Claus is a Time Lord... (OT) Santa Claus is a Time Lord Johnathan
