So, due to our might, sensational (and completely unexpected) magical abilities, the thieves bursting into Hieron Lawgiver's office were defeated! We captured, their leader, Jezrene, and managed to search most of the bodies whilst we questioned her. Loge pocketed some nice components from her pouch. She'd been sent by the Shadow Council to collect Hieron's … Continue reading Loge Lost in the Lady’s Ward

Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan III
So, the party had found itself on Baba Yaga's front porch. (For reasons of group flexibility, the Tabaxi Bard has always been there, and suddenly is a Gnome...) Baba Yaga invites the group inside because she likes distractions and she's in a good mood. The inside of the hut is bigger than the outside. There … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan III
Loge in Automata
So, we spent the "night" recuperating in the Githzerai monastery. Loge had a dream about a white-furred fox running across a still warm lava field. Probably nothing to worry about there... We agreed to escort our Githzerai expert back to Sigil, along with a bodyguard. They were going to work out their own deal with … Continue reading Loge in Automata
Loge barely survives Limbo
Ok, so I'm actually writing this a lot later than I normally would, so it's entirely possible that my details are wrong. So, a blue Slaad had just attacked the party and managed to skewer us all pretty handily. Then he called out and summoned a couple of red Slaadi... great! The fight was a … Continue reading Loge barely survives Limbo
Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan II
So where were we? The Tiefling Cleric and the Gnome Fighter left the shops and headed to the pub, meeting up with the rest of the party. The Tabaxi Fighter was trying to cheat people at a game of Liar's Dice and failing, the Human Ranger and the Kobold Warlock were busy drinking, and then … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan II
Loge lost in Limbo
So, on with the adventure! After a series of traumatic rounds of combat (Loge almost died very quickly, despite setting the boar on fire twice), we managed to beat the thing, and carry on our way to the Githzerai monastery. Part of the way there, a Dao slave ship (they're earth-aligned Djinn, and Loge grew … Continue reading Loge lost in Limbo
Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan I
Well, things got off to a shaky start as we had to move play location, and the new place was a little noisy and slow to start. I got the gang leveled up, and added a couple of new players. The full party (and I really don't have enough space for anyone new!) is: Tiefling … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan I
Come Hell or High Water – the fall of Ys
So, session one of my new game. How did that go? Well, we ended up with a pretty mixed party. I thought having the only PHB races available as Human, Gnome and Tiefling would give us a pretty mixed bag - but instead I have a party of five and one of each! A Human … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water – the fall of Ys
In which Loge goes shopping
So, level 3. Time to hit the Grand Bazaar! The party was already in the Market Ward, so it seemed silly to leave before shopping around a bit. But they wanted to go do some other stuff. No problem, I can meet them at the edge of the Hive! During the wander around, Loge bought … Continue reading In which Loge goes shopping
Further Adventures of Loge and the Antmen part 2
Ok, second session down. Here's what happened - At the end of the last game, most people had fled leaving myself and the druid, and the druid was down. We redrew the map on the board edge and it turned out people hadn't quite fled off the new one yet, so maybe there was some … Continue reading Further Adventures of Loge and the Antmen part 2
Further Adventures of Loge and the Antmen part 1
This will be a two parter since I've played one more game as I write these words, but will have played two before the end of the week. So, the first game since the last post about Loge was mostly focused on combat - resolving the Formians heading up the tunnel towards us and then … Continue reading Further Adventures of Loge and the Antmen part 1
Loge and the Ants’ Nest
So when last I left Loge, he was sat atop the entrance chimney to a Formian nest/city on the Plane of Arcadia. The Lilend of the Infinite Staircase had asked the group to investigate some sort of curse on the Formians, which had made the workers lazy. Well, we'd just found a witness to the … Continue reading Loge and the Ants’ Nest
Finally playing Planescape
I finally found a game of Planescape. And, quite honestly, it is awesome! Now, I might still just be a clueless berk when it comes to Sigil and the Outlands, but I'm hoping to bash my way through some portals and become a real cutter. Yay, Sigilian slang! So, I'm playing a genasi called … Continue reading Finally playing Planescape
Retiring Dima the Crow early
So this is kind of a sad one. I had to move for a job and decided to retire Dima. I didn't want to feel like I had to Skype every fortnight to join the game or for the DM to have to work out a way to shoehorn me in every time I could make … Continue reading Retiring Dima the Crow early
Social Contracts
I recently got to play Vampire: the Masquerade for the first time since 2011/12 and, at the end of the first session, I wasn't sure whether I wanted to continue playing or not. It was a fun game, and I enjoyed playing a Nosferatu for the first time, but I spent time over a few … Continue reading Social Contracts
Dima the Crow after play
Curiosity killed the cat. I think Dima needs to learn this. So, the first session went fine. Standard wander along a road, get to know the other players and their characters. All went well really, and we ended up in a big town and levelled up. Great. So I looked at my options and realised … Continue reading Dima the Crow after play
The Samurai Wedding adventure recap, part 1
So, ignore the Topaz Championship that I ran a while ago. I'll throw up a proper outcome of that later (none of the PCs won, though they did all come pretty high up in the rankings). After the Topaz Championship, the three Crab PCs were given honour guard duty - the niece of Hida Kisada … Continue reading The Samurai Wedding adventure recap, part 1
L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 2
For part one, see here. We started the session a little late, owing to using the gang to move some boxes over to my new house before we began. Also, pizza. It might be very apparent that I've made the tournament a lot bigger. The players all decided they wanted to play as Crab, so … Continue reading L5R 4E Topaz Championship session 2
More ideas clamouring for attention
So here's a little overview of what's currently bubbling in my head:A game set in a world where the Roswell Incident was the site of Earth's first extraterrestrial encounter, not a crash. Ship landed, aliens surveyed and encountered locals, contacted mothership and decided to stay. It is now the 70s or 80s (or now, not … Continue reading More ideas clamouring for attention
Kingsmead update and a new system!
Well, since I haven't managed to post anything here since January, and since ignoring those two short posts, since October, I suppose it's only right I update here again.Especially since I've run another bit of a playtest, this time with a new rules system that I've been working on. One which emphasises the roleplaying aspect … Continue reading Kingsmead update and a new system!
