G’day, folks! I’ve finally updated my Rage of Demons page with the complete list of D&D Expeditions being held this season. I hope it’s all correct – some of the values seem to have moved about. I’ve also uploaded a set of unofficial pregenerated characters designed for this season of D&D Expeditions. I’d appreciate it if you could cast an eye over them and check … Continue reading Updated Rage of Demons page
Dellmon Ranch. The Dessarin Valley. 9th Flamerule. 591 DR. A small ranch. About thirty or forty people to defend. And a warband of 40 orcs is on their way. It’s time for the adventurers to be heroes! It’s fascinating watching a group of adventurers at work, especially when you’ve got seven of them all there at the same time. There’s a lot of damage they … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, sessions 14-15
The third season of the D&D Adventurers League is just starting. The D&D Expeditions games this year are set around the city-state of Hillsfar, a port city on the Moonsea. The official DDAL page has a great article about the State of Hillsfar, but I thought I’d go into a little more detail about the gods that are worshipped in the city and the nearby … Continue reading An Introduction to the Forgotten Realms: Gods of Hillsfar and Elventree
It’s time for the next season of the D&D Adventurers League to begin. So, it’s a good time to review the guidelines for creating a legal character to play in the program. This character will be able to be played in any adventure of the D&D Epics, D&D Encounters or D&D Expeditions lines. All of these guidelines can be found in the D&D Adventurers League … Continue reading Creating a Rage of Demons character
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 24th Kythorn. 591 DR. The adventures had found a number of prisoners, one whom they recognised as the dwarf Bruldenthar. He was the delegate that the monks had demonstrated as being there of his own free will – he’d insisted that he was seeking enlightenment in the mines. This was certainly no longer the case, as he pleaded with … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 13
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 24th Kythorn. 591 DR. The adventurers had been charged by the Feathergale Knights to discover the evil lurking in the Stoneheart Monastery, and so they delved once more into its depths, first making sure they’d explored all of the upper level before going into the dungeons. The kitchens, dining hall and guest chambers proved deserted with nothing of value … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 12
These characters are certainly a bit late – for most of you, we’re moving out of Elemental Evil and into the Rage of Demons storyline, but we’re running a few 1st-level games set in Mulmaster at our local D&D Adventurers League games, and I wanted to make up a few characters that took advantage of the Mulmaster backgrounds for the potential use of the players. … Continue reading D&D Adventurers League “Elemental Evil” – unofficial Pregenerated Characters
It’s an interesting tactic to announce to your host that you were sent to kill him, but that’s what Thumbalina did upon meeting the head of the Feathergale Knights. She followed this up with the pronouncements that she’d changed her mind, they were all really cool, and could she ride a griffon please. Yes, you’ve got to enjoy the antics of the dwarf who thinks … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 11
Goblins are fun to role-play. Numerous players have discovered this as they’ve interrogated the goblins in my campaigns. Goblins know that they’re almost at the bottom of the humanoid pecking order (with only kobolds lower), and so they’re used to being bullied. They almost enjoy it. Every so often, one of the goblins decides that turning traitor is a good career move, and so starts … Continue reading All Hail the Almighty Splig!
The Stoneheart Monastery. The Sumber Hills. 11th Kythorn. 591 DR. Once again, the adventurers entered the monastery; this time with Krovis pre-emptively charging at the door on his newly acquired paladin’s mount and smashing it down. The minotaurs and monk behind the door were quite surprised by this and fell after a short combat, although – once again – Krovis was hurt rather severely by … Continue reading Princes of the Apocalypse, session 10
