I have to admit, at first I wrote this adventure off. I was looking for something set a bit more southern Empire, and this adventure takes place near Marienburg. I slipped it back into the box and promptly ignored it until a couple months later when I was looking for something to read. It wouldn’t have hurt my game to pick this up and read it earlier. I also thought the small village setting might not have enough challenges for…

I’m thinking about a rogue as my next D&D character. It seems something always happens to my rogues, and I never get to play through the entire storyline I want. So I’m going to keep trying. My ideal rogue is of the assassin type. I wanted to get some cool ideas from others, so I sourced a couple social networks. Any subclass/kit/multi or dual class/etc. counts.

Our guide says we’re about 3 days out from the Duergar stronghold. Soon we’ll have to stop focusing on surviving obstacles and start thinking seriously about the dwarves. For tonight’s precautions, Darian cast spells to increase our strength before he went to sleep. It seems a waste that we didn’t need them, but I’m happy regardless. Now that we’re only a couple days from the stronghold, and due to the fact that Braden keeps himself invisible as much as possible,…
After another full day, we headed back toward The Templar’s Arms. A gathering around a puppet show caught our attention. The stage was dark, but we could clearly see a puppet Sparsom arguing with a puppet Goebbels. Many of the people watching wore red hats. They were trying to get the rest of the crowd agitated. I managed to get in good with the crowd with a simple statement that I didn’t like to pay taxes. The random guy I…
I was looking for a starter adventure to run before The Gathering Storm and this practically fell in my lap. It’s billed as an adventure, but there are a number of suggestions on how to turn it into a campaign. It has the same prerequisite as The Gathering Storm, so I won’t be using it as a starter adventure. Also, it’s far more socially driven than I’m currently comfortable GMing. The party’s sole goal is to be invited to a masquerade ball,…
