With a few new characters having been introduced recently, it’s probably a good idea to go through the gods they likely (or do) worship and what their goals are in the campaign. Just, in case, you have the urge to actually follow your god’s wishes or something. Pelor – God of the Sun, Strength, Light and Healing – worshipped by Chris’s character (Geran). Pelor has popped … Continue reading Gods in the Greyhawk campaign
After 67 sessions spread over 3 years and 5 months, Adam and Greg completed the H-P-E series of D&D 4E adventures, slaying Orcus in a titanic final battle, saving the Raven Queen and accomplishing their personal goals – Greg's dragonborn revealed her true majesty as Io, Ruler of all Dragonkind, and Adam's wizard went off to create his own plane – a land of endless … Continue reading It’s over! The Great D&D 4E campaign.
Splug, the goblin who the group encountered in Keep on the Shadowfell and has been adventuring with them from then on, has reached 28th level along with the rest of the party. I originally had him as a Goblin Rogue, but with the release of D&D Essentials, he became a Goblin Thief (as it was a lot easier to run). When we use him, we … Continue reading Splug the Hero
I’m currently running one of my groups through E2: Kingdom of the Ghouls, and our first session of the adventure was quite a lot of fun. It helped that some of the more egregious Warlock and Cleric powers have been nerfed just recently, and I’m also using the updated damage codes for monsters. So, combats have been enjoyable. Conceptually the HPE series from Wizards works … Continue reading Thoughts on Epic D&D
Well, the new version of the basic Cleric class is up on the wizards website, so we can now see how much Greg’s character for the epic campaign is affected… Of course, I don’t actually have a up-to-date version of the character. (Greg, could you e-mail me at merricb@yahoo.co.uk with the file of the most recent version?) However, looking at my out-of-date version, here’s what … Continue reading Greg gets hit by the nerfbat!
Mike Mearls just asked on twitter what panels we’d like to see at GenCon. My reply: I want to see apologies and mass resignations from the DDi team. I would add the resignation of the invisible D&D Brand Manager as well. What is going on at Wizards at the moment is a disaster. The last six months or more have seen them destroy … Continue reading Can Wizards turn around their support of 4E?
I notice with some interest that we’ve reached 40 sessions in our City of Greyhawk campaign. I spent a few hours last night going through my old blog posts and the calendar, combining all the details into a long, long post that summarised what’s happened so far in the campaign. The resulting post can be found here: From the Archives, 40 Sessions of Adventure It … Continue reading The City of Greyhawk campaign – all 40 sessions
I recently located an old page where I stored “news and rumours” inspired by my Greyhawk campaigns. The date attached to the file was December 2003, so there has been a *lot* of subsequent adventuring. Players in my games may remember some of the events; others were invented from whole cloth to flesh out the chronicle. The current date in our Greyhawk campaign is about Spring … Continue reading Once upon a time… News from my Greyhawk campaigns
Martin recently expressed an interest in his character becoming the “Druid of Greyhawk”, the term I use to describe the leader of the Druid’s Grove that services the Free City of Greyhawk and its wilderness. By the old AD&D tables, Martin’s 11th level character was one level away from gaining the “Druid” level (he was a “Initiate of the 1st Circle”). In the original AD&D, … Continue reading Becoming the Druid of Greyhawk
My Greyhawk campaign has recently been on hiatus whilst Nathaniel has been vacationing in Canada. Now that he’s back, I’m trying to get it running again. Assuming this occurs, here’s a few notes as to where the game was when we suspended it, some of the themes currently in the game, and what I expect to do in the first couple of sessions… Necromancers of … Continue reading Greyhawk Campaign – Initial Notes
