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)
We left our heroes after they had routed the Empress Eternal in her own home. Damon the Paladin had cast Haste on Grimshaw the Dwarven Barebarian, who was now in hot pursuit of the fleeing vampire. Grimshaw ran into the second floor of the Crimson Spire facing a hallway of doors and the wounded and […]
As planned, our heroes mounted the horse cart previously used to ferry Fey victims into the Crimson Spire. The plan was to pretend to be bringing a cage full of fey to whatever unholy end they face in the Spire. Tense and alert, the party made it into the eerie silence that foreshadowed the strong […]
DM note: Since this game had to be heavy on finding information, I took inspiration from “Return of the Lazy Dungeon Master” and rather than try to second-guess what our heroes would do, I instead wrote: A list of secrets and truths to be discovered A list of likely places A list of likely NPCs […]
Stuck in the future where all the gods and godlike powers have been displaced by a furious Fey attack using the forest itself, our heroes are working to bring their patrons back. Braxton Silvereyes, an elderly man who helped the players when they first arrived in this future, asked the heroes for help as a […]
This is the first time since we left London in July last year that we play with miniatures. Photos by my lovely wife. The party, having had to come to terms with the fact they are 300 years in the future (and have lost their patron given powers), had decided to follow a rumour about […]
The party, having found themselves back in the material plan, but in the future, were trying to convince the wall guards to let them into what was left of Daisygate following a century long war with the Fey. While negotiating with the guards to get in, a platinum haired man riding a donkey carrying a […]
DM Note, I was so caught up in this game that I didn’t realise we just concluded the two major storyline of our campaign. It wasn’t until Sean, the player playing Alyanys the Warlock pointed it out that I realised that it had happened. Having “acquired” a rope of fairyhair capable of holding anything, […]
While the Mountain King turned out to be Somiumanax, the Dream Dragon,Damon the Paladin had vowed to slay, the party decided on discretion in order to secure the Mountain King’s support in slaying the Winter Queen. the Mountain King was confident in his Frost Giants abilities to best the Winter Queen’s army. But frustratingly, the […]
When we left our heroes, they had made it up under the Frost Giant elevator that would (hopefully) take them up to the Castle in the Sky, the home of the Mountain King, who they intended to enlist as an ally in the fight against the Winter Queen. While we are playing online, my wife […]
The heroes jumped through the icy portal in pursuit of the Winter Queen, the alleged killer of the Dwarven Barbarian Grimshaw’s Aunt. As they looked up in the blizzard, they saw a clothed rabbit and an old friend, Feather the Tabaxi Cleric, who sacrificed himself by activating a magical item that rewound time to give […]
this was a great game. First of all as we reintroduced a player who has been away from the game for a while. Second, because we haven’t played since May and third because I found it fun trying to make a game based on the classic drug exchange scenario from cop shows and movies. It […]
