Scrolls of the PlatinumWarlock. Thoughts on game philosophy, general geekdom, plot design, and the Dayton area gaming scene. Updating weekly! Wednesday, December 04, 2013. In Which The Warlock Rattles Off Reviews. With the massive "30 Days of Gamemastering" behind us, I feel like I've somewhat fallen behind on my geekly duty of reviewing the assorted nerdity that's come out in the last few weeks. It's time we remedied that! Better than the first one, but not flawless. Thor: The Dark World. But I left the...

Roll 'Em: August 2010

Sunday, August 15, 2010. My version of D&D (but why? The purpose of my authoring this game was to write a fantasy game that gets back to the "feel" of Dungeons and Dragons. The Original Edition, while playable in its own right, had too little of what I wanted, so I wasn't too interested in playing something that limited my options. The Supplements added complications I wasn't keen on dealing with either. Experience points reward actually doing things during the adventure. Treasure allows for a wide v...

As always, plenty of spoilers for the Pathfinder Adventure Path: Rise of the Runelords follow. Pathfinder #2: The Skinsaw Murders. The Skinsaw Man portion of the adventure was my favorite part, likely because it built on events in. And was set around Sandpoint. After all the work making Sandpoint feel like a real community in. Has pretty much an automatic hit with her melee attack ( 20? We're on a break right now, as sailing schedules and re-life intrudes, but will pick up the game in November with the.

Rolled a One: Wow, someone read this
http://rolledaone.blogspot.com/2009/06/wow-someone-read-this.html
Wow, someone read this. I've been poked out of silence by the discovery (thanks to a comment) that someone actually read my posts. Not surprisingly, the realization that I have an audience greater than one (me) is a motivator to continue where I left off. Just a quick update – I did finally get the Rise of the Runelords. Campaign underway and we have finished #1. Usually this would just be the section of the adventure where the PCs level up to face the climactic encounter. In. This is some really great s...

We found signs of a battle, but more scarily, two scaley finned humanoids who smelled bad and seemed unhappy to see us. After a short, running fight through the dark woods, we managed to kill one of the creatures and the other ran off. Not finding any sign of any buried treasure, we returned to the hamlet and took the taxes back to my PC's uncle. Fun stuff, and we'll see where it goes from here. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

Reflections on Burnt Offerings. It took us a long time to get through Burnt Offerings, for the usual reasons. Scheduling issues, mostly, with some long breaks as players were sent out of town for various reasons. I found the adventure ran very smoothly, with minimal railroading. The actual structure of the adventure helped a lot. The first half has the PCs in reaction mode, and the second half does a good job helping to transition them into being active without being too obvious about it. Mustered out of...
