[Goonalan]

Title: Dark Squad
Author: Goonalan
Number of Threads: Just the one.

Type: Fantasy with a bit of humor.
System: D&D 5e.
Setting: Faerun, the Sword Coast.

Started: 5th June 2020.
Status: Ongoing.
Average Installment Length: Medium to long, with pictures from the VTT.
Average Frequency of Installments: Weekly, we play every Tuesday evening, subject to the inequities of life.

Available for Download? No.
Style: The DM's POV as four ingrate players kick apart my plot, story, monsters, traps, et al.

Overview: This is the lockdown VTT game on Fantasy Grounds with four friends. We started off with the Sunless Citadel (and old 3e scenario from back in the day) and then on to the Forge of Fury (from the same era) and from there... well, the world's my bivalve mollusc (oyster), so I'm going to mess with them, a bit. I'll be dragging scenarios, maps and whatnot from a number of published modules/adventures, and just picking and choosing what I want to use a few weeks ahead of the sessions.

Reader Comment:

Excellent updates. I really like the idea of throwing the party's dead back at them - might have to steal that somewhen.

Stay safe and keep it coming.

Special: We're all very 'special', I myself used to take the 'special' bus to school everyday, go me.

Stay safe and well.

Cheers goonalan.
