I’ve only played in a handful of campaigns that you could call long-term; most end up being a handful of sessions, if that. While I’ve had somewhat better luck with Dungeon World, my longest campaigns have always randomly, rarely occurred with Dungeons & Dragons. The first was one that we started waaay back in 2nd Edition […]
The compiled and organized notes for the first adventure from my home campaign, The Heirs of Ruin, can be found here. The belgoi commands it.
After burying the dead, the caravan continued on its way to South Ledopolos. Rather than “Indiana Jones” the trip, I asked them what their characters would be doing for the day. Beth (aka Maximus) decided to strike up some conversation with the caravan leader, a man named Canth. I played Canth as a similar personality […]
With all the guards and jhakaars slain, the characters were now free to scope out Hakaar’s house. It was night so they could clearly see that there were no lights on, and they could not hear anything from outside, so they concluded that either Hakaar was either a heavy sleeper or that no one was […]
After looting the necromancer’s lair they returned to Barunus’s ghost, gathered up his bones, and made their way to the surface. Almost immediately there were spotted by a patrol, which could have easily overwhelmed them had a pair of newfound friends not shown up; a dwarf named Braynor Stoneblood that knew Maximus from awhile back […]
After the party destroyed all the undead, the ghost of a dwarf appeared and asked them to avenge his death (as well as the deaths of all the other victims in the pile of bones). He explained that a dragonborn defiler had killed him, bound his soul, and questioned him about a lost city. After […]
I really dislike drawing maps, so often I try to play out the events of the adventure in my head to get a feel for what might happen (as opposed to what I would like to happen), usually resigning myself to the task of mapping a day or two before game night. The campaign started out with […]
Characters Randy’s character, a genasi swordmage/warlock hybrid who is named something like Sars I think Maximus, human warlord (Beth) Jiga, elf rogue (Liz) Kevek, goliath shaman (Kamon) On day three of their less then luxurious stay at the Criterion, the characters were able to escape after a silk wyrm escaped from its cage while being […]
I’ve been rather slow and/or late updating over the past few weeks due to planning out an adventure path for Dark Sun, titled The Heirs of Ruin. My group has been clamoring for it since the books were released last year, and I’ve finally got a chance to put them to use. By popular demand the group […]
For some reason, blogger kept timing out after my last post, so I had to delete it. Again, you can download the pdf and associated stat blocks for At the Mines of Madness here. It’s been reformatted and updated from the original. I couldn’t get it to properly format with the monster stat blocks and […]
