At Least We're Safe From Zombie Attack

Thursday, May 7th, 2009

It has been many months since the adventuring party prevented the opening of the rift in the Keep on Shadowfell. Only Gruknal the dwarf fighter with clerical powers and elven ranger Adran remain of the original party, now in the paragon tier at 14th level. During their continued adventures they have met up with Krafft, […]

Place Your Bets!

Considering that it has been 10 weeks since we last managed a full session, will everyone be available for the main D&D campaign this evening? It's looking hopeful!

'I would quite like to see Frost/Nixon.' 'What's it about?' '...the Frost/Nixon interviews.' 'Oh, like I couldn't have guessed that.' 'Apparently you couldn't.'

The D20 is an Icosahedron

Thursday, December 4th, 2008

In Dungeons and Dragons, as it is with D20 games, a single combat round is six seconds long.

When the conversation shifts to […]

This is an Outrage!

Following our instincts we push through a door that has 'STAY OUT' scrawled in the moss covering it, only to be surprised by a blue slime monster surfacing in a pool of rancid water. Who knew? Our warlock gets attacked and hit by the monster, which provokes an incredulous response from the spellcaster. 'My turn. […]

Hannibal, Mr T, Murdoch, and BRAAAANES

Thursday, October 16th, 2008

We were attacked by eighteen zombies! 'A-Team zombies?' Yes. They were shut inside a crypt with only discarded spears, broken scythes and mismatched bones with which they created a working arbalest, but it was okay. We took quite a pounding, thrown all over the place by the arbalest, but got up only feeling a bit […]

Chicken Simian

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Our goblin guide we rescued, his corpse being dragged along behind us, whispers to the warlock that a door ahead supposedly leads to a treasure room. We must investigate! The battle map we use is wiped clean of the previous combat zone and the party waits expectantly in limbo. Under his breath, whilst reading the […]

Rolling for 'play

Thursday, August 21st, 2008

If dealing with a sarcastic prescient isn't bad enough, the elf in our party, Adran, tries to hit on every other elf in the inn. Thankfully, for all our sakes, there are only two of them, but it is still painful. 'You want to hit on her? What are you going to say?' 'Shall I […]
