Tokyo DnD notes

Session 3 recap - Calendar dates - 5th of Springwane, left Voltaine. 15th - Arrived at the Mountains of Peril. 19th - Arrived at Grizdak. Downtime - Moradin and Ousk - Went and did some crimes. They were mildly successful and also saw that there is quite the rival, to the point of animosity, between …

Prep for a game can be better than the game itself.

While I hope the title doesn't ring true, the main point is that a new DnD 5e game is upcoming with my old North American Burning Wheel mates. We will set the game on the other side of the world to our 2 year long Burning Wheel game and have some loose connections to that …

First map in ages, gosh it’s fun.

Just a couple of photos of my most recent map. A bit of a desert island, though some trees might be in order somewhere. A desert island to which adventure calls! Our Humblewood characters need a piece of minotaur horn. My first compass rose. I was pretty happy with how it turned out, pops right …

Hexcrawl Incoming?

So I have been reading extensively about Hexcrawling recently. It seems like a method of play which you can still find aspects of in the DMG (watches, overland travel) but is not fleshed out at all. I have read up on the Alexandrian, watched Web DM, Matt Colville and Bardic College YouTube vids, read various …

The Castellan Case

UPDATE: Lia and Elkus saved Balda from the Boromar controlled dreamily den. They did manage to kill Thomas, the proprietor of the establishment. With the help of the juice lady, Glenda, they detoxed Balda. Now their options have been cut short. They have made enemies of the Boromar clan. Perhaps they can see what the …

Session 1 down in Eberron: Some thoughts.

So we had our first session tonight. It was predominately role play, which both of my players enjoyed. I want to briefly talk about setting the scene, how important NPC's are and some thoughts on starting a new story with new characters. In character creation, we were a little rushed. I tried to ask my …

And we begin anew, on a train in Khorvaire. A continent of Eberron.

Elkus and Kentavious sat in the Lightning Rail as they returned from Aundair. The pair had enjoyed a middling level of hospitality in the magically advanced state, and had not seen the best results. "The master will have to seriously think about appointing a new head artisan in Aundair," said Elkus. "Too true, at least …

Precursory campaign building for my players.

Instead of jamming up our Messenger thread with my random musings about a potential new campaign world, I thought I'd add them here. The world is Elaria, you have been born into x city state. Each city state is run by Plutocrats. The wealthy families run the city states and control is kept strictly. The …

A new map (work in progress)

So it has been a while. I have been busily playing DnD, Burning Wheel and Star Wars D6 via Roll20 and loving it. There has been many things happening which have meant that adding content to this site, a labour of love just for myself really, has stalled. But, I am working on a new …

Tom’s Mum’s House #4 Nightstone is awash with bodies and destruction.

So the orcs were killed and Nightstone FINALLY is free from immediate threats. Some forest elves of the Ardeep forest, led by Rond Arrowhome, infiltrated the beleaguered town in the night. Taruk followed them and came upon a furious fight in the town square. Arrows flew and great axes swung. The Orchish leader, Gurrash, was …
