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 […]
With two of their comrades dead, the Paladin Damon and the Warlock Alyanys was on the look out for new recruits. Fortunately an unknown (kinda) mysterious benefactor (Jean-Jacques in disguise) had found two candidates and invited all four to a team building exercise in a haunted tower (damdamdaaaaam) at the edge of Twilight Forest. The […]
in our campaign Daisygate, we have the local cityguard called “The Daisy Guard“, who the party has run into several times. They are trained, but polite city guards maintaining the order of the town. They serve the town. However, I also needed a unit of Royal Guardians who are tasked with protecting the royals. These […]
DM note, this game was inspired by Matt Colville’s recent video on running a One-on-One D&D game. I’ve never run any RPG for only one player so I was curious as to how this would be. So instead of informing one of my players of a background story for our next game, I decided to play […]
These are my notes as a player as this Chapter was DMed by first-time Dungeon Master Tony, who did a great job despite having the handicap of having to run the game remotely due to the current pandemic. This was my second game as a player. Our heroes were hanging out in the Unnamed Tavern when […]
In our previous game, Our Warlock, Alynanys the half-elf, had suddenly been summoned away by her patron, the Pit Fiend general, Xinphalaxal The Angel Charmer. (Sean, her player, was Dungeon Master in last game). However, Alyanys did not returned as planned so the rest of our heroes went through her stuff and found a letter […]
DM notes …eh… actually, it is my notes as a player as this Chapter was DMed by Sean, one of our regular players. He did a fantastic job even with the handicap of having to run the game remotely due to the current pandemic. Last time I was a player was in High School, back […]
Having found the strange and alien Mind Controlling Device, our heroes realised they had no idea how to use it. But they were certain the device, the Black Sapphire, the Mind Flayer, the tentacles, the cultists all of it were linked so they reviewed what they had learned so far about the Deep Planes and […]
This Chapter was back to old-school dungeon crawl, but I have to say most of our characters’ personalities and motives grew a lot in this game. Several times I had the pleasure of sitting back and watch the story unfold between the characters. Really enjoyed this game! Saving the Half-Fey The Nightshift have had a […]
We pick up the story after our heroes fled the Mindflayer and its army of mindless minions. This was second game running D&D remote. See my guide to how we run remote D&D with terrain and miniatures here. In the abandoned warehouse, the party discussed what to do with the Black Sapphire and decided to […]
I’ve mentioned this before, but Darksword Miniature’s Game of Thrones range is perfect for townsfolk and these two ladies are no different.
This is the second Daisy Guard team following the crossbow armed unit. When I saw these I thought they were perfect, but frankly if I had known how long they would take to arrive, I would have found an alternative. Having said that, the minis definitely didn’t disappoint. They are very cool, very diverse and […]
