Just played a new D&D oneshot… maybe campaign… with some from our old D&D gang in London. It made me think about the parties we have had so far: The A-Team (name came after we started a second party called “The Nightshift”) Nightshift Hellbenders Double Trouble Dawnstar team (not named yet)
I thought it would be fun to create an evolution timeline of our heroes from the now ended campaign War of the Triplets. Starting party: Feather – Tabaxi Cleric B.J – Blue Dragonborn Sorcerer Grimshaw Elffucker – Hill Dwarf Barbarian Alfein – Drow Rogue Alaris Hiddenlore – Highelf Ranger Alaris’ wolf “Argento” Not quite an […]
When I introduced 5 friends, who all but one had little to no experience with any roleplaying game, to Dungeons & Dragons early 2018, almost 2 years ago, I did not expect the oneshot would turn into an almost 2 year long campaign spanning 18 games. And it has been the best of what RPG […]
This was a fun game. Essentially last time we played, these two players had to back out last minute. While we can’t always get everybody together, it is unusual for people to cancel last minute and two did for same game, both with very good reasons. So last minute, I whipped up a spin […]
This article was actually originally about how to create a D&D encounter from a different angle, and it still is, but it also became a life saver i our latest campaign game as 2 out of 5 players had to cancel the very last minute. The thing is, we are in the endgame of our […]
I won’t lie, the previous game did not go in any shape or form the way I planned and the result was 2 KO’d characters, 1 dead wolf and 1 dead character (first in our so far 18 months long campaign) as a result of fighting a young blue dragon named Electrax Stormwing. However, it […]
February last year, I introduced D&D to a bunch of people who almost all had no prior experience with the game or very little from when they were in school. Now, a year and a half later, we are still playing the same campaign, but in the last chapter of our campaign, we had the […]
Having retrieved the soul of the evil bandit captain Larsen Qu from Avernus, the party arrived knackered back in Lyrayara late at night. Exhausted the party withdrew to their chambers and fell asleep. A few days later they woke up in unknown surroundings in The Masquerade and was taken before the Shadow Queen as her […]
Having failed to exchange the captured evil souls for that of Larsen Qu, The party set out to investigate the strange news of chunks of cows bring thrown at the nearby village of Silkenheim. As the heroes arrived at the village, the villagers turned into a frightened and angry mob when they saw the Dragonborn […]
Having started 2019 with a sand box style open game based around information gathering, I wanted the follow up game to be equally open-ended but much more action oriented. The adventure started action heavy with a unit of “Trueborn” (a clan of xenophobic, paranoid and highly informed Dragonborn) who wanted the party to hand over […]
At the end of 2018 I wrote a summary deck capturing the core highlights of our 2018 games. This has worked a lot better as a tool for players than my diary entries, which I guess is mostly for myself and other DMs looking for inspiration. So I am going to keep this up in […]
Having ended 2018 with the closure of the first story arc of the War of The Triplet, we started 2019 with the party finding out where to go from here in a sandbox style game. The games I ran in 2018 were, not railroads, but they were linear to keep a single focus. But starting […]
