Curse of Strahd--D&D Encounters S22 S13

I had missed the last two weeks of D&D Encounters at Kingslayer Comics because of family stuff, so it was great to get back into the game this week!


Several of the regular players were not there, so I ran a small table through a mostly RP heavy session of the Bone Grinder, Encounter with Strahd, Vallaki return, Von Richter's Tower, & a trip back to Krezk to talk to the Abby of St Markovich.

A small table lead to some wonderful game play.

I had a new D20

 

The players had plenty of space & healthy snacks


The Saber Tooth Tiger is now a carrot with orange skittles pressed onto it.


There were also free D&D Stickers handed out to the two tables.

No Ravenloft This Week


Barrel Rolling, Bar Delivery, & Blood Tracks


Once a month on Thursdays, we are playing 5E at Andrew's house.


I am playing a Gnome obsessed with Logic, but it is not really going any where yet... We are still very much simply investigating a town with a blood cult, but I sense it will get better soon.


The set up is Amazing, Andrew has like the perfect room! I do not think I have ever had more space at a table--total gold!


Zendikar Episode 4


I run a game of Zendikar 5E D&D for 7 year olds










As you can imagine it is a bit off the rails at all times



The players are organized



And there is plenty of room at the table




The party is currently on a mission from the king to rescue his daughter from the Kobold Queen.





They killed a Hill Giant.  Then the party tracked the hill giant back to its lair, which they explored  & found full of Kobolds.




They know that Kobolds love dragons & hate giants so this is all very weird. But of course they would rather be killing Eldarizi Titans at first level!

Free RPG Day 2016 -- We B4 Goblins!

This year looks like another banner year for Free RPG Day!





I am likely going to run at Comic Quest again this year. And, once again, Paizo is releasing a Goblin themed adventure--We B4 Goblins.

This one has yet another amazing cover!




The adventure was written by Crystal Frasier--which is awesome, she has been doing a ton of great work lately & I am glad that her design will be seen outside of the Pathfinder Society stuff she seems to focus on.


The blurb has:

All goblins have to start somewhere!
As whelps of the Licktoad tribe just out of their swaddling cages, the goblins Chuffy, Mogmurch, Poog, and Reta must prove themselves by undergoing a series of challenges, from tying a string to a large spider and shouting insults with hot rocks in their mouths to facing off against a goblin bully and his dimwitted minions. As a final test of their mettle, they must make a dangerous (and smelly) trek to claim a toad from the nearby swamp and present it to the terrifying presence that lurks within the Cave of Darkfear, only after which can they truly call themselves goblins!
But as the goblins return to the Licktoad village, they come across a brightly colored, jingling human carrying a map to a small farm up the river where a family of halflings are celebrating a wedding—the perfect setup for a goblin raid! Will the heroes acquit themselves in the finest goblin fashion by wreaking havoc upon the nuptials? Or will they be bitten by ferocious dogs and smashed by frying pans?
We B4 Goblins is an adventure for four goblin characters just beginning their careers of mischief and mayhem, written for the award-winning Pathfinder Roleplaying Game. The adventure takes place in Brinestump Marsh and the surrounding areas of Varisia in the Pathfinder campaign setting, and serves as a prequel to We Be Goblins!We Be Goblins Too!, and We Be Goblins Free!, Paizo's popular 2011, 2013, and 2015 Free RPG Day adventures!
