I was at a seminar at work and to add randomness to a teamwork exercise the facilitators brought out some 6-sided dice. I was feeling cheeky the next day and brought my big bag of gaming dice. This led to a co-worker asking me if I ever played D&D and asking if I could run a game for him and...

My favorite author of all time just passed away earlier this week: https://www.bustle.com/p/these-twitter-reactions-to-ursula-k-le-guins-death-will-absolutely-break-your-heart-7997035 My favorite work of hers is the "Lathe of Heaven", though I also enjoyed and quite recommend "The Left Hand of...

I'm getting on a plane soon, so I can only make a quick post here. Last we left off, you were on the second module of the boxed set, in a swamp, and about to attack the weapons forge fortress. We are playing the Legacy of the Savage Kings module and you have encountered an orc party selling...

After a quick trip home (where they are able to sell the extra equipment and earn bounties for a letter of credit worth 10,000 gp), the heroes retrace their steps and head towards Garland's Fork. To get to that destination, however, they will first have to cross the Great Swamp; an area that is...

A Beginning Pathfinder Adventure designed for 6 characters of Levels 1-3 A keep on the frontier of civilization is beset on all sides by roving bands of chaos. Will heroes step forth to battle the creatures of darkness and be a bastion of hope for the people, or will the Wilds reclaim the...

I just realized there are a whole bunch of adventures I would like to run one day and never will be able to do so. I thought I’d share some of my ideas, which I doubt will ever get off the ground, most of which are hybrids: 1. A mixture of the Dragonstar Campaign setting with Jack Vance’s...

The heroes return to the town of Hadler's Gap, carrying their dead along with them. The village-watch stands along the trail, spears in hand when they see the group walking along the dusty trail. They shout in pleasure when they recognize all of you, and soon a crowd of townsfolk gather round...

The hotel I am staying at is full, and so this is the first time I have had solid internet access in regards to ENWorld this week. And only because it's very early in the morning. I will be here for one more week, working through the weekend, so it is doubtful I'll be able to update my games...

It’s night by the time you make it to the derelict shipping district, the only sounds around you being the slight buzzing from nearby powerlines and the late barking of various semi-feral mutts communicating to one another from yards of rundown homes and rotten smelling alleys. The sky is...

This is our Rogue's Gallery for the new incoming Shadowrun one-shot game, 'For Us, It Was a Tuesday'. I'll be editing this post to add details as they develop.

Normally Delricho would start this up, but I thought I'd do him a favor as we are six days in. I just finished "The Great Game" by Peter Hopkirk and it was a pretty stunning read about Russia and England competing in Asia, leading to the British Empire expanding past its initial holdings of...

The voyage through the ever twisting storm that separates your land from Tekumel is always rough going, but this time your two-masted brig sloop, Ching Shih, had several large waves surprise the crew in between tethering stations and you lost over three dozen good women when they were swept...

Alright, we're ready to get started for our Tekumel adventure. Please post characters here in this thread for reference and active updates. I'll look over what you have and make comments in the OOC/recruitment thread in case I need any tweaks. Everyone automatically gets Comman and Tsoylani...

Queenie asked me to run a game at exactly the right time when I was percolating some ideas in my mind. After some e-mails back in forth, we decided that we should do an adventure where she plays a cross between Indiana Jones (her idea), Lara Croft (my idea), Jacquotte Delahaye (mine), Anne...

I want to judge a quick pick-me-up fantasy game of In A Wicked Age. Character creation, adventure back story, quest objectives and conflict results are decided cooperatively between the GM and the players. The Oracles First, volunteering players and the GM must come to a consensus about which...
