Last Friday’s D&D session saw Martin run the best session of the campaign so far… all three sessions of it. The most glorious moment was when my character declared that he was arresting an NPC for war crimes (who we’d been chasing for most of the previous session), and the NPC exclaimed “it’s a fair cop, guv!” and surrendered. Well, perhaps he didn’t use those … Continue reading My ardent is 2nd level!
GenCon is on this weekend, and by some strange co-incidence, the Call of Cthulhu game I had planned for this weekend won’t be going ahead. So, it looks like a no-roleplaying weekend for me, while a lot happens over in the States. As DaveTheGame said to me on twitter: “There’s only a finite amount of roleplaying in the world, and it’s all being used elsewhere.” … Continue reading No roleplaying, but some BattleLore
I managed to get in one or two boardgames and CCGs over the weekend, but not – alas – any RPGs. My D&D group was missing someone (again) for the final session of this particular threat, so we chose to miss it. Unfortunately, we couldn’t get three people together for a one-shot D&D game either… So, I played a couple of games of Memoir ’44 … Continue reading Weekend of gaming: Magic, Republic of Rome, and other games

My roleplaying over the weekend – this was meant to be the big weekend, with three separate sessions – ended up being quite disrupted. Martin is still ill, so we had to cancel the Friday evening session. Whatever illness he has is lingering; it’s now been 3 weeks. We’re concerned for you, Martin: get better soon! Sunday evening’s session got cancelled because of Valentine’s day. … Continue reading Weekend roleplaying
My Greyhawk heroes will be stepping into the Shadowwood on Friday evening (assuming the session doesn’t get cancelled again), where they will attempt to find the evil necromancers and corrupt druids that have been causing trouble for the good folk of Greyhawk. They’ll be accompanied by the High Priest of Pelor – one of my old PCs – and we should see a session that … Continue reading Into the Forest of Shadows
This weekend, once again (alas), was a roleplaying-free zone. To fill in the time, I played a lot of boardgames. Then, come Monday (which I don’t work on), I’ve spent the day writing session reports – both for this week and last week. A lot of session reports. I’ve just written fourteen this afternoon. A good range of games, as well. In the past fortnight, … Continue reading A lot of boardgaming
I’ve been typing up a bunch of recent session reports and posting them on RPG Geek. Occasionally I include a few notes as to what I’m planning as a DM or otherwise explaining the plot (which might actually help a few of my players). None of it is really top secret information. Playing once per fortnight and also having three separate role-playing campaigns does make … Continue reading D&D session reports
