So, the servant's head arrived in a box. And then the group called in the police... The Hardheads are an interesting bunch, like most of the factions in Sigil. They're big on the justice but not necessarily great on the details. Loge and the druid arrive back just after the Hardheads leave and are filled … Continue reading Loge meets an Abjurer and has a Bad Time

New Idea – Out West
So I was thinking about another new idea, and sadly I think it might just be a mess of one. Basically - Dungeons and Dragons and Cowboys So, we steal a bit from Deadlands and have Ghostrock or something like it for the guns and gold rush and stuff. And probably some kind of terrible … Continue reading New Idea – Out West
Return to the Hollow World
OK, I was thinking a bit more about this and what people might populate the Hollow World. Pretty much the same as 3e's Oriental Adventures but with a couple more - Korobokuro, Rakshasa, Vanara, Spirit Folk, Nezumi, Hengeyokai, Yakfolk/Minotaur, Loxodon. I want to come up with a multi-armed human variant too. That's in the works now.Luckily … Continue reading Return to the Hollow World
Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan IV
After resting, the party headed back to town with surprising speed. Baba Yaga's hut had disappeared but the tracks went upstream. Arriving at the edge of the forest caused a stir in the hands in the field. When the party got closer, they saw the foreman run off towards the gate and have a conversation - … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water – Bouyan IV
Loge Lost in the Lady’s Ward
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
Ideas for Loge’s Warlock Patron
So I've been mulling this over recently, I never really settled on a patron for Loge. I figured he had no idea he was a warlock yet, made a pact he didn't remember to get out of the City of Brass or something, or was somehow tricked into it for the same reason. But then … Continue reading Ideas for Loge’s Warlock Patron
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
Another New Idea – Hollow World
Ok, another one. That's a pretty bad title, and this is definitely going to be straying into the area of Mahasarpa and other old alternate settings for D&D. So I was thinking again about the idea of alternate Asian-inspired settings and thought of one inside a hollow world, with a sort of Monkey-esque feel to … Continue reading Another New Idea – Hollow World
New Idea – Twixt Flower and Thorn
OK, so here's another D&D idea I've got brewing - yes, there's always too many. I suppose this links up a bit with my Beyond the Pale idea, but whatever. So this game would centre around the Feywild, but be more about the creatures native to it, and the various different courts of the Seelie … Continue reading New Idea – Twixt Flower and Thorn
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
New Idea – The Other Guys
So I was reading the Dungeon Master's Guide whilst writing an adventure and I stumbled on the hireling rules again, and then I had a thought about how AD&D used to play, where once players reached a certain level, they started to attract followers. And then I thought 'wouldn't it be interesting if the action … Continue reading New Idea – The Other Guys
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
Does the Old Crown work in D&D 5e?
Well, I've rounded out 250 posts already. Yay! In celebration, let's go back to the start, and consider some ideas for converting my years-long-rpg-baby the Old Crown setting to 5e D&D. This is a question I've been mulling over for a few years. The Old Crown began as a D&D setting, and sort of evolved … Continue reading Does the Old Crown work in D&D 5e?
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
What I want to play as next – D&D 5E
A completely unhelpful list of D&D characters I want to play - A Firbolg Druid - not thought much about this one yet, but since I saw Firbolgs, it's what I wanted to do with one A Cleric of a pantheon - pick a pantheon of gods and try and shoehorn in a way to … Continue reading What I want to play as next – D&D 5E
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
Come Hell or High Water
Well, a shortage of DMs means I've agreed to stick my oar in - time to run a game of the Endless Sea and see where it goes. So far, I know I'm running a session 0 / 1, so going to do some character creation and run the escape from Ys as it sinks … Continue reading Come Hell or High Water
