I hadn't gamed with my fellow players for months - two of them now had new characters and another one had none. She retired her old character which didn't do much for her and didn't have time to prepare a new one. I had a scenario ready to introduce the…

Summervale. The village is rather small. A few farms, a few shops - not sure there's even 100 people living there. Everything in the village has been razed. Mary buildings are burned sometimes by fire, sometimes by acid - the other buildings have been trampled. Bodies everywhere - burnt, frozen,…

The heroes caught up with the caravan in the town of Windby, where the townspeople were eagerly awaiting their arrival. Upon seeing them, they bombarded our heroes with questions - so eager they were to learn of their adventure. The heroes rapidly found Lady Adelinde, who silently wept for her…

Every-two-weeks-Friday-night games are gone in favor of weekend-game-whenever-we-can-make-it-fit-night game. We met up early, had supper. Theoretically discharged social energies, sent the kids to bed and got ready to play. More on that later on. After their encounter with the group of kruthiks and zombies, the "heroes" rested up and... nearly…

The Setup Here's what I was planning on running on our last game: While escorting the caravan, our heroes met with Lady Adelinde, a widowed noblewoman in search of valiant heroes to help her find the body of her deceased husband. Lady Adelinde's husband has been missing and she has…

I hadn't butchered the next map yet - I only had my set of dungeon tiles to build it... which also allowed my to hide unseen details from the players. They were quite happy with this hiding - as they were no longer tempted to plan using what they should…

By this room, I was starting to get the hang of the kobolds. I was familiar enough with their particularities and the traps in the room. I felt I could give the players a proper challenge here. This room is the skull-skull room. And I had something extra planned here.…

This one went well, but was far too easy. I messed up the power level by failing to properly raise the difficulty. Tired of unoriginally boosting a room by adding a critter, I wanted to add a trap instead. So my 6 players were facing 3 kobolds... and 2 traps,…

I tackled this room twice before and did the same mistake twice and basically ruined the encounter. See I redid the maps they gave for the first three room and shrunk them a bit to fit my print paper. Doing this, I deformed the rooms a bit and, not understanding…
