Memories of Greyhawk Campaigns Past: Tsojcanth

Following the completion of the Temple of Elemental campaign, our characters were considered heroes. The players? We were transitioning. In my case, I was becoming a student at Melbourne University. (Our DM was already there). This puts an actual date on this campaign: I began my first year in 1990. It’s worth mentioning that this was an incredibly erratically scheduled campaign. And my memory is … Continue reading Memories of Greyhawk Campaigns Past: Tsojcanth

The Shattered Obelisk, session 8

Our eighth session of The Shattered Obelisk took place on Monday, November 20, 2023. We’d had another week break as a player was moving. At the time I thought we were back for an extended run. Little did I know! A reminder of the party members at this point: With the Lost Mine and the Spider dealt with, the party returned to Phandalin to deal … Continue reading The Shattered Obelisk, session 8

Adventures in Greyhawk: The Staff of Xan-Yae

Our second session of the Greyhawk campaign in 2024 took place on Friday, January 19. The characters are all about tenth level at this point. I was using an adventure by Troll Lord Games, The Ebon Staff, as my basis for the session. The ideas behind the adventure are fantastic, even if I have a few issues with its implementation. The characters are investigating a … Continue reading Adventures in Greyhawk: The Staff of Xan-Yae

The Shattered Obelisk, session 7

We played our seventh session of The Shattered Obelisk on Monday, November 6, 2023. You may notice that this is three weeks after the last; we were about to go through an erratic patch of play. The party had obviously had a very long rest! Nothing disturbed them during their rest, and the party returned to where they left off – the cavern with the … Continue reading The Shattered Obelisk, session 7

The Shattered Obelisk, session 6

We ran our sixth session of The Shattered Obelisk on Monday, October 16, 2023 The party had finally reached Wave Echo Mine! Hooray! Entering the Mine, they quickly discovered a pit and the corpse of one of Gundren’s brothers. Moving quickly, they looted his cloak. Because it looked magical. And they’re adventurers! The pit led to tunnels leading east and west. Using the ropes that … Continue reading The Shattered Obelisk, session 6

Shadow of the Dragon Queen, session 13

We played our final session of Shadow of the Dragon Queen on Monday, August 28, 2023. The four characters had penetrated the heart of the Flying Citadel and needed to take it down before it could wreak havoc on Kalaman. Present for this session were the following characters: In their previous session, the party had retrieved the mirror of erised reflected paths and were now … Continue reading Shadow of the Dragon Queen, session 13

Adventures in Greyhawk: Under the Tower

Our first D&D session of 2024 took up the campaign when the last session left off: exploring the mysterious tower in the ruined city on the borders of Ket. Two factions were interested in the contents of the ruins: the refugees from the Plains of the Paynims, and a goblin force known as the Red Caps. The basic plan for the adventure came from the … Continue reading Adventures in Greyhawk: Under the Tower

The Shattered Obelisk, session 5

We played our fifth session of Phandelver and Below: The Shattered Obelisk on Monday, October 9th, 2023. After our previous session, the group was now aware of where Cragmaw Castle was and were keen to find and explore the location where Gundren was meant to be held captive. I have a very inconsistent approach to random encounters these days. Typically, when there’s story-based adventuring to … Continue reading The Shattered Obelisk, session 5

Shadow of the Dragon Queen, session 12

We played the penultimate session of Shadow of the Dragon Queen on Monday, August 21, 2023. The characters had entered the Flying Citadel, and were making their way through the tunnels that combed its base, looking for a way to disable the blasted thing. Honestly, I’m pretty happy with most of this section. But the one thing that obviously no-one at Wizards considered is the … Continue reading Shadow of the Dragon Queen, session 12

Cyberpunk RED Session – Retrieve the Asset!

With the advent of the Christmas season, my groups splintered into Those Who Go on Holiday and Those Who Do Not. (Also, a special mention to my Monday group who found Christmas occurring on Monday, then New Year’s Day, then the birthday of a player’s wife…) So, in the spirit of holiday cheer for those still around and wanting a game, I ran a session … Continue reading Cyberpunk RED Session – Retrieve the Asset!
