This last weekend's game was a dismal mess of fail. Only one player that was awake and functioning showed up, along with two zombie players that between them had maybe four hours of sleep in the previous day and a half. So not a hell of a lot got done. It was not however a … Continue reading So That Was a Bust

The Gopher King: Chapter 3
As predicted there was a knock on the door. The Viceroy could communicate with the ghoul through sheer force of will, as could any of the liches in the Diosian Lodge. This reduced the amount of spoken words significantly, but the result was that when any of the liches did utilize the gift of speech … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 3
Oh, What Fresh Forkanzan Hell is This?
Everyone that lives in Partum has a vague understanding that the people living in the Forkanzan Peninsula are a lot of wealthy, somewhat ambitious, and rather disorganized people. They love a fine wine, have a penchant for pasta, and thrive on feuds. What outsiders rarely hear about though are reports of war and conquest in … Continue reading Oh, What Fresh Forkanzan Hell is This?
“What Exactly is a Pantheon, and Why Does it Want to Kill Me?”
One of the more challenging aspects of any Dungeons & Dragons campaign is keeping things challenging for the players as they continue going up in levels. They will invariably find things easier to slay and overcome as their skills grow and their problem-solving abilities get better. The longer that players go under the same Game … Continue reading “What Exactly is a Pantheon, and Why Does it Want to Kill Me?”
Oh Honey… the time to object to the Marriage was before he asked her to be his Bride
Slothjemian weddings are wonderfully chaotic events filled with strong drink, strong emotions, and plenty of chances to get yourself punched in the throat for making some smartass comment. These are also perfectly good opportunities to stab a rival just so long as they aren't the bride or the groom. Because if there is one thing … Continue reading Oh Honey… the time to object to the Marriage was before he asked her to be his Bride
The Gopher King: Chapter 2
Passage of time meant nothing to the Viceroy when he was waiting. He spent a lot of time on stand-by. He waited on the other lich lords of the Diosian Lodge mostly. Uncounted days and even years would pass before they would call upon him and send him off on some foolish crusade. The Viceroy … Continue reading The Gopher King: Chapter 2
Elves Without Whimsy
The most elusive and difficult to interact with of the elves has long been thought to be the drow (also known as dark elves). In Domum however there is a race of elves that are even more aloof and suspicious of outsiders. Already mentioned as some of the most dangerous natives of Slothjemia's swampy coreland, … Continue reading Elves Without Whimsy
Feeling Gassy and Going Places
Long ago, and nobody except certain dwarven clans would be able to pinpoint exactly when, the deep mining dwarves encountered a curious phenomena. One of the side effects to specific ore refining techniques is a highly flammable substance that is a terrific lifting gas. Early on the first dwarven scholars to analyze the substance gave … Continue reading Feeling Gassy and Going Places
Suddenly Real Life Attacks! Roll for Initiative…
My last job as a furniture delivery man dried up thanks to the COVID-19 pandemic so I decided to find work in an industry where I could be considered "essential." I've never been considered "essential" by anyone at any time so this sounded like it would be a nice change of pace. So I put … Continue reading Suddenly Real Life Attacks! Roll for Initiative…
That Went Surprisingly Well
Each and every new innovation in battlefield technology has to prove its worth sooner or later. For the Romillians they proved that their air cruisers, caravel-sized ships held aloft in the sky by enormous dirigible-style gas bags, were an effective way to surprise an enemy and transport commando units deep behind enemy lines during the … Continue reading That Went Surprisingly Well
