Elves are different in Pathfinder. I don't know how we missed it last week but our elven companion is over six-feet tall, which I would say is uncharacteristically taller than the humans but apparently it isn't. Elves are tall now. It's possible that we didn't notice the elf looming over us because they are modelled […]
I'm jotting down a few notes, conscious that doing so could slow the game down and trying to keep circumstances moving as I scribble. 'Are you thinking about questions to ask', I say to the players, referring to the mercenaries they've just captured, 'or are you staring in to space?' 'Huh, we could be thinking […]
'I won't be able to make the session tonight. I have my character sheet here for you to take along, so you can decide whether to continue with him along or not.' 'Yeah, we'll carry on with him. At least, to start with, probably until the first encounter.' 'This is what I'm afraid of.' '...then […]
The acolytes investigating possible heretical surgical modifications have been equipped with a bio-sensor that when in the presence of anomalous tissue 'whines with increasing volume'. We have a similar sensor that whines with increasing volume when it detects the Lord of the Rings films being mentioned around the table.
'What do you get?' 'Hang on, I'll roll it again and actually look at the result this time.' <rolls dice> 'I get a critical failure. That'll teach me to pay more attention.'
We have been accused of theft. This is news to us but being assaulted in the market gets our attention. We head up to the house where the master of our accuser lives. 'You approach the house and see that the door... is open!' 'Is that unusual?' 'Not especially. You enter and quickly realise that […]
We are mingling around the market square when a rather angry looking gentleman storms up to us and starts accusing us of stealing something from him. 'I know you've taken these things from me', he says, almost yelling in our faces, as a small gang of his followers looks on, 'and I want them back!' […]
'Your journey takes you to the river where you pilot a boat downstream, before crossing the pass to finally get to the village.' 'How long did it take?' 'A week.' 'So, 21 days.' 'Um, what?' '...since I last smoked opium. It was 14 days before we started, so now it has been 21 days. Did […]
'Can I fire my bow from prone?' 'You can do almost anything from prone, except move your normal speed.' 'Okay, it's just that you couldn't fire a bow from prone in 3.5e, which seems somewhat more realistic.' 'I think it says a lot about 4e that it has taken away the 'realism' of 3.5e.'
Our fight with Baldran the demon continues, and it looks like it will last even longer when 'the brute on the floor lets out a wail'. It seems we have another monster to fight. And the brute hasn't finished, as it 'explodes in a burst of necrotic damage. The other brute, as part of the […]
