New Crew, Kraken Boneyard, & Zombie Pirates--Skull & Shackles Session 9




Another great week of Pathfinder's Skull & Shackles adventure path at Scotts!
The full write up is over on epic words

As always, I had a ton of space at the table for my notebook

My Game Science & Q-Workshop dice and dice tower




and even my camera--which Chase was running for this session--he is tired of being on camera all of the time.



Scott has very classic dice.
 


Chase is running a pile of mostly randomly assembled dice
 


David has a collection of hard to read mostly random dice as well.


The maps for this Adventure Path are amazing.


David is wearing his Captain hat, which spent a lot of time on the floor this session!



Chase was having a very good time.


Scott was on fire for this session--really a total blast!



There was mostly role play until the big final show down with the Zombie Pirate Boat



Which was a huge epic battle


During which just about everyone was completely awesome!


There was a lot of team work & strategy going on.
 

And several great charges & retreats


Without the healing we would have lost very quickly, I think.


The Skull & Shackle mini's are fantastic! This out of focus photo does not begin to do this figure justice.


Here is a better image from the web




I was able to get Jet, my octopus familiar who used to be Taiko into the act this evening.



Unfortunately, it was too little to late--DM Scott hit Kryptonite with a ruthless Severed Tendon Crit




and then critted the scar table so I lost my leg!



Very good time was had by all.

Jesse's Cards

Jesse dragged a box of cards out of his garage & I sorted them out by color.




Filed them back into the box & will let Jack take a look to see if there is any value.



Should be a good history lesson.

King of Tokyo Cup


Cody & I sat down last night for a King of Tokyo at the top of the stairs.



Cody played the King and once again focused on getting the Shrink Ray. I was playing the Kraken and looked to win just by smashing the King in the face.



Cody got off to a great start--doing lots of damage & earning a lot of energy cubes. I was in trouble after round three.


And dead by round six--with the last three rounds only rolling three dice.


And Cody took home the Cup!

Scourge of the Sword Coast--D&D Encounters S17 S1

Another fun week one of D&D Encounters at Mercenary Market.

There is a great overview of the material over at DungeonMaster.com

Jack is still playing mostly magic & not that into D&D Next.


Brian is bored of starting every season as a caravan guard.



Scott was stoked--he is playing an interesting character and having a great time.



Richard and Alex are completely the rock stars of this season. 



Thor actually missed this week--which is amazing for a min/maxer of his caliber. 



We had a huge table.

I mean really huge--like ten players.



I did have plenty of space and I am stoked with my new pencil.


There was only one critical hit this week--it was a fantastic game changing attack to disable a guard and get us into Daggerford unharmed.


These Character cards are always an awesome adventure aid.








The map this season is one of the greatest maps ever created.





I need new dice for my ninja.
