Lost Mine of Phandelver – Saturday session 4

As it turns out, running two groups through Lost Mine of Phandelver, each fortnightly and each offset from the other by a week is not entirely conducive to me remembering everything that happened in a session. These reports, therefore, are terribly important for reminding myself of what occurred in the previous session! We had five players at this session of the Saturday group: Jesse, Tait, … Continue reading Lost Mine of Phandelver – Saturday session 4

ASL Session Report: S25 Early Battles

I’ve fallen behind quite significantly in my ASL reports and in my ASL play, as both Michael and I have been busy and unable to set aside afternoons for two-player gaming as frequently. I’ve also been just a little distracted by the release of D&D 5E! Michael and I played this game back on July 7th, 2014. Michael took charge of the Russian forces; meanwhile, … Continue reading ASL Session Report: S25 Early Battles

D&D Encounters: Hoard of the Dragon Queen session 2

The second session of Hoard of the Dragon Queen saw another seven players turn up, which gave us a group of 42 people. This was somewhat challenging, both in terms of space and finding enough Dungeon Master’s, and was complicated further with a few late arrivals. Eventually, we moved Ben onto a table of new players while Sarah took over the DMing at her table. … Continue reading D&D Encounters: Hoard of the Dragon Queen session 2

Lost Mine of Phandelver – Friday session 3

My fortnightly campaign of Lost Mine of Phandelver continued for my Friday group last week. We took up the adventure with the group resting in a room with a number of sarcophaguses – and not checking the nearby door which actually led to a prison where a couple of Redbrand Ruffians were standing guard, having heard the fight the group had had with the skeletons … Continue reading Lost Mine of Phandelver – Friday session 3

Ruffians of the Lost Mine – (Friday session 2)

I’m a bit late on writing this, so the details of the session are a bit fuzzy in my mind. However, I’ve now run two sessions of Lost Mine of Phandelver for my experienced Friday-night group. In the first session, they rescued Sildar and dealt with the goblins. This session, they ran into the Redbrand Ruffians. They didn’t like the Ruffians, and the Ruffians didn’t … Continue reading Ruffians of the Lost Mine – (Friday session 2)

The Lost Mine of Phandelver – Session 3

I was joined by seven players for this session of the Starter Set adventure. Djoran, Ben and Brian joined Tait, Jesse, Josh and Josh to make up the group for the adventure. This gave the group a combination of level 1 and 2 characters as they spent the majority of the session further investigating and fighting the Redbrand Ruffians. The last session had ended with … Continue reading The Lost Mine of Phandelver – Session 3

Sneaking through the Lost Mine (Friday session 1)

I’m currently running two groups through Lost Mine of Phandelver, the adventure included in the D&D Starter Set. The first group are people from my FLGS who play D&D Encounters with me every Saturday evening. I’m running it as an Adventurers League adventure, so characters are keeping track of their XP and treasure on the log sheets, using point-buy for creating their characters, and working … Continue reading Sneaking through the Lost Mine (Friday session 1)

The Lost Mine of Phandelver – Session 2

Seven players were at the table for our second session of Lost Mine: Rich (wizard), Josh (fighter), Jesse (thief), Tait (thief), Dave (cleric), Josh (fighter) and Sam (wizard). In their last session, they’d failed to pursue the goblins and instead ended up with a little Redbrand Ruffian trouble in town, after Milo (Tait) the thief had made them believe the ruffians had beat him up … Continue reading The Lost Mine of Phandelver – Session 2

D&D Encounters – Dead in Thay finale

The final session of this season of D&D Encounters attracted 27 participants to Goodgames Ballarat, the equal highest (with the penultimate session) attendance we’ve had in the history of the Encounters program at our store. A few of our regulars were missing, but they were made up for by a number of new players. Admittedly, fighting a demi-lich would probably not be my choice of … Continue reading D&D Encounters – Dead in Thay finale

D&D Encounters: Dead in Thay sessions 9 & 10

This season of D&D Encounters is now hurrying towards its conclusion: the next session we run will be the last! Session 9 saw us somewhat down on numbers, with only(!) 20 people turning up, but Session 10, which coincided with the release of the D&D Starter Set saw us reach a high of 27 people. As this session also had one of our DMs absent … Continue reading D&D Encounters: Dead in Thay sessions 9 & 10
