Skull & Shackles Session 10

 
Another fun Sunday of Pathfinder at Scott's House playing Skull & Shackles.
 
 
We had Pizza brought in. I think it was from Domino's & it did not suck.
 
 
DM Scott was once again in amazing form--he was running people around for a wedding all day so this session was a little short--plus I had stuff all day--but we still got a major milestone of the Adventure Path completed & got along well as a party.
 

 


 
Bree & David were on the wall side--Bree is playing a cleric & David is our Captain and a Gunslinger.
 
 
Chase's Sorcerer had a fantastic moment today when he was in safely inside a pill box look out station blasting enemies with electricity.
 
 
Here is a close up on Chase's amazing Big Gulp container.
 
I still need to get our mini's painted.
 
 
The table was again totally awesome--with an amazing poster map down most of the session.

Gaurdians of Meletis Super Win

Holy Cow! 

I got a package in the mail from France...


It was from Magali Villeneuve

The great artist of the greatest Magic: The Gathering card of all time!



There was this great print which I am going to get signed and hang in my office.


Which Magali had signed and dated.


There was also a card


with a blank back that had also been signed


She sent me all of this simply because I had sent her a message thanking her for the card. I let her know how much this card meant to the Magic Community. 

I am overwhelmed with gratitude.

Kindergarten Tsuro


Cody is very stoked with Tsuro.


He takes it very seriously & has invented some very sophisticated rules to ensure his survival. 

Running two boats is his favorite tactic.



But he also uses a very non approved underwater dragon move as well as a flying boat move that completely rules, even though it is no where in the rules.

Scourge of the Sword Coast--D&D Encounters S17 S6

Another fun night of D&D Encounters at Mercenary Market in Costa Mesa.

Jack has a job taking out the trash at his Grandma's house. The key is to have the cans properly spaced so that she does not receive a note and, at the same time, not block Les's mailbox on the left or the driveway on the right. 

Waiting for feedback on this setup.



We hit Chipotle & got to the store with plenty of time to set up--but Brian was needed to DM!

Good Lord!



Jack has a Dwarf Fighter.

Richard was sitting pole position playing a Drow Rogue.



Thor was playing a Wood Elf Fighter Ranger.



Jeff had a High Elf Mage.



Brandon had a cleric that he built during the game.



I was using my white dice.



Brian bought a giant mat for use in the game.





I had the old character sheet, for Don Buri which I plan to rewrite this week and share my amazing D&DNext Ninja build.



The fight this night was an amazing battle--I think DM Brian had set us up for a TPK.



But luckily we brought a lot of Sunkist and were able to win the day.



DM Brian was shocked.


How the am I loosing to Brian?

New Quarter--No Quarter!



Another fun morning of Magic with Tuesday!

It is the start of the Spring Quarter for the Team so they were lazy--Andrew & Alexander slept in and missed it.

Jack however was up and playing new decks for the first time in a while.


Preston was on time with his deck



And Dylan continues to dominate with his Slivers.




I had a fun game with Liam--he Pacified my Vorel of the Hull Clade, but I was still able to tap him to double the tokens on Myscutter Hydra.





The look when I swing for 16!



Cassidy & Evan were in the house. Evan is a very fun player.



Jack and Cassidy went 2-1 in a very good match.


 I rolled double ones multiple times today:




It actually started to get absurd.


Tuesday blamed the dice, but I realized I was just having that kind of day.

Icosahedrophilia Podcast, Episode 187: The Road to Madness, Episode 3


I feel like a missed a few episodes or for some reason I am not tracking the adventure of the crew of the Broken Promise as much as I once was.

The party is heading up a frozen river to continue their investigation--there is a lot of talk around crafting skills which do not really exist in 4E & surprisingly, Chris has not made up his own awesome rules--so the actual play I did not find that engaging.

I have a feeling we are a few episodes away from something awesome happening again on this one--may be time for another Dream Interlude!


KNOW DIRECTION 79 - ANALYSING APS



This is a great episode looking at Pathfinder Adventure Paths. Some good history, nice overview, and fantastic audience participation make this a really great place to jump on and start listening.

One of my frequent complaints about Know Direction is that it tends to go on a little long & this episode is no exception--I think it is close to two hours. 

But it is still very informative throughout & is clearly starting to build a fairly big following within the Pathfinder community.
