Jasper's DMs Season 3

[jasper]

This Friday I finishing up "In volo's wake " for the game group. Then I starting Season 3. Instead of running them in number order, I going to do them in Tier order. So 7 Tier 1, 7 Tier 2, 2 8 hours Tier 3 adventures. So it looks like May 12 is the finish time.
I have started putting the Magic Items on my title cards so people do not have to look them up.
I did a count and 15 magic items are in the season. I going have to buy a lot of props. Any suggestions, gripes, or heads up I need to know about.

Make that 18 magic items. I am stuck on an idea for the following props. Ioun stone. Half plate (current thinking of a $1 ninja outfit and stapling 1/2 paper plate to it), bracers of archery (no clue), Robe of stars( too many ideas that break the prop budget).

 

[RulesJD]

The Half-plate is made of Stone (thus usable by Druids). Not sure what to run with that, maybe sandpaper to staple to it?

You actually make up full-size props of all this stuff for players? Wow.

Ioun stone could be an actual crystal from a new-agy shop, or simply a plastic gem from childrens toy jewelry- dollar store or Walmart. Bracers can be fashioned from cardboard or craftfoam sheets and lacing.

No full size. the last sets of armor were the kids armor stuff from the $1 store. The staff of swarming insects cost $2. $1 butterfly net, $1 of plastic insets rubber banded to the net. Thanks for the bracers idea.

I think it's a good idea.

 

[jasper]

Okay, I got every thing except for the lute/guitar. The bracers of archery is either going two small arrow charms sewed to a cat collar, or made into bookmarks if I can find ribbon. The robe of stars is going to an American flag looking bandanna.
I think 3-2 Shackles of Blood is going to tick people off with the capture story.

I have change my dm cheat sheet dropping alignment and replacing it with Spell DC. This will be blank if not a finger twirler. I also copy and pasted The madness chart and Faerzress write up into a word document and taped to a screen. I will need to copy the two madness charts out of dmg to the screen too. This keep me from flipping pages when a Mad roll is needed.

I'm intrigued by what you're doing here. Plus, I'd love to see what you build for the item in 3-13 Writhing in the Dark.

Not gonna lie, I'm actually stealing this idea for my table.
