Oh, I guess I should mention that Murdok's player isn't my wife, Viveen's player is. So that was funny. But we're all great friends, so we had a good time with it. :D I thought there might be some interest in how I've been doing clocks in Act 3. Here's what the players see (except the hidden Ob...

Some familiar faces in this thread, heh. How portable do folks think Fabula and Ultima points are to other systems? In principle it seems very doable. I'm thinking, selfishly, of Lancer. 😀

At the start of Rock Rackus and the Ruby Rod of R'lyeh, the party and Rock (played by me, with @RangerWickett GMing) woke up... somewhere, with clothes all swapped around, Rock <3 Murdok banner hanging, and "only 4 hours to save the world" scrawled on the wall... So yeah, they all got blackout...

Inspired by @Cypherblade 's sea shanty, I started on this: To the tune of Barrett's Privateers. Murdok is a former party member who had to leave the game but is still a friend. She may make a cameo down the road. Murdok is married to Rock Rackus since the events of Rock Rackus and the Ruby Rod...

Wait, is that to the tune of Barrett's Privateers? It seems like it could be... Sea shanties as Rock's genre never even crossed my mind, but it's genius! I used Working-Class Hero as my source material.

One funny thing about running D&D 4E after all these years is that when I tell my players to level up, they all have to remember how to use the archaic Character Builder (or reinstall it if need be).

Things slowed down again with an international move late last year, but we're still going! The party decided to take Pemberton's airship to Ursalina before going north. They took advantage of the travel time to teleport around and lend their assistance around Risur where they could. Vesta went...

Once Brakken reached Axis Island, his Beran contingent were able to reestablish the teleportation circle link with Risur, which got the party to Axis Island without having to deal with She-Who-Writhes (yet). Pemberton welcomed them to the current HQ of Pemberton Industries, and offered...

I introduced clocks after the Great Eclipse, figuring that it was a good opportunity to introduce new mechanics. I also floated using a modified version of the 13th Age escalation die, but they didn't like how I wanted to scale faster, and scale damage as well as attack bonuses. I may bring up...

We just finished up our group's (mostly) annual week-long D&D get-together. Our progress slowed down again this year, as one of the players moved to another time zone and the overlap gives us significantly less time to work with during our weekly online sessions. We're going to try to figure out...

One thing we talk about sometimes is what other groups have done. For example, I mentioned to my players that they're the only party I know about that managed to save the King. Reginald's player was curious to know whether any groups ended up swearing fealty to Gradiax, the Steel Lord. I don't...

Cool, I'll invent some stuff this week. We play online weekly, although some weeks we just hang out and catch up rather than advancing the plot. But once a year we get together in person for a week, and I try to line that up with something climactic. One year, we had the Ob Conclave sequence...

Update! Reginald's player couldn't make the get-together, but we still had a week where we played more D&D than usual, and he joined remotely for our sessions. The remaining time was filled with lounging around, board games, cocktails, and cooking. We lined things up so I ran the Flint...

Wow, okay, so it's been a minute. I can't believe I haven't posted a real update since 2014, or a brief update since 2018. This game is still going! The players just got to the fort on the Governor's island in Flint to try and stop Stanfield's ritual. We're taking a break for a month or so due...
