Session 24: 3/12/2022 We’re back! Dmitri’s player couldn’t join us, and Ratel the monk’s player had to join via Discord chat on speaker. Dmitri, Ratel, and Teador all got adamantine plating applied to their bones and troll hearts implanted. I skimmed this pretty fast instead of doing any...

Session 19: 10/9/2021 Players for Reybella (cleric) and Malamir (artificer) were out. Ultimately, they decide to attempt a Circle Against Evil/Greater Restoration/Planar Binding on the petrified Nalfeshnee. Reybella’s player gives approval over the phone. Once it orients itself, the...

Session 15: 8/14/2021 Everyone was here. Happy Birthday Duncan! The party starts taking their long rest, but after a little over an hour, it’s become unbearably hot, to the point where they can’t rest. It doesn’t take long to figure out that it’s Control Weather. They depart Mordenkainen’s...

I agree with giving interesting choices versus +NUMBERS items. I disagree with low magic item counts, though. 1. Need. Spellcasters can function just fine at level 20 with zero items. They get a bit squishier, and maybe their saves and DCs aren't quite as good, but they can still handle a...

Oh well, you don't get paid because you didn't rescue the captives. Also, your rooms were vandalized during your dinner at the inn, and nobody saw anybody go up there with a bucket of smelly paint and write "COWARDS" on your backpacks because the 75 year old grandfather of one of the captives...

I think the suggestions made so far have covered the issues pretty well. You have everything you need to address this going forward. It'll take a few tries to get it nailed down, so don't get discouraged.

1. Check the Rules. Make sure your casters aren't mis-reading spells to have them do more than they can do, double-casting leveled spells on their turn ("Sorcerer is OP, double-casting Fireball"). Be sure to force Concentration checks and not forget about them. 2. You are beyond the design...

I needed a couple of edgy NPCs. One ended up being Raziel, a tiefling Hexblade who cut people with the edge of his angst and edginess (blade pact). He had spiked smoking armor, and was in the middle of writing a book of dark poetry. The other was Gothica, who dressed in all black and was a...

Yes, although a few bits haven't aged as well, it was a good Battletech novel, and one of the first ones I read. Too bad the GDL got hosed later.

Session 25: 5/14/2022 We’re back! We’ve been doing 2nd & 4th Saturdays, but Dmitri’s player has not been making those days even though they’re when he’s supposed to be available. We’re also only running from about 7:30(7:45) to about 10:30, which is a short-ish 3 hour session, so we are going...

Session 23: 1/8/2022 Happy New Year! Our Cleric’s player is dropping out. She has too many other games and things going on :( This game may go on pause while we do a couple of one-shots to introduce new players, so we don’t throw them into the deep end of high-level play. The party headed...
