Brightwind – Episode 29 “The Final Battle for Brightwind AKA Beware Excessive Goodberry Consumption”

So this is it. The final session of this campaign. Let’s jump straight in. The session began where we left off last week, with the party passing through the portal and entering the city alongside the Resistance army, ready to face Oldfather and end things once and for all. Immediately upon stepping through, they were […]

Brightwind – Episode 28 “The Power of the Primordial”

Well, well, well. This one was a biggie. Let’s jump straight in. We jumped into the session with the big fight against Ma-Ma. She was tough – in theory – but the party stepped up, focused on her and not on the several giant spiders she created throughout the fight, and absolutely mulched her. Kipth’s […]

Brightwind – Episode 27 “Closure”

We picked up the session right where we left off, at the end of the bigfight against the slaad and the beholders. Still reeling from their hard-foughtvictory, the party returned with Bov to the High Keeper. There, he explainedthat the wards had returned but there was still an enemy force besieging themand it was only […]

Brightwind – Episode 26 “Rumble in the Centre of the World”

Oh boy, was this one a slugfest. I’ll be honest, it blew up beyond even my expectations. But it’s good to get into a long, hard-fought battle every once in a while. Let’s get into it. The session began with Kipth – unconscious – back in that strange hallway. He could hear the wailing sounds […]

Brightwind – Episode 25 “Crystal Wastes and Crystal Monsters”

Before I get to this week’s recap, I just want to note that with this session, this has become the longest running campaign I have recorded on this blog. Further to that, in a couple of days it will be two years since I started recording D&D sessions on this blog. I’m mentioning that now […]

Brightwind – Episode 24 “New World, New Body, New Mission, New Friend”

The session began with Brakken and Monk floating in the Void, a black, seemingly empty space, with no proper laws of physics. They were floating, but there didn’t seem to be an up or down, and when Brakken threw a handaxe it just kept travelling into the distance before disappearing out of view, only to […]

Brightwind – Episode 23 “Oh Boy”

I’m gonna say it right here: this is the most important session of the campaign thus far. It had highs, it had lows, and it had some seriously key character and story developments. So, without further ado, let’s get into it. The session began the with the party deciding, in light of suddenly finding themselves […]

Brightwind – Episode 22 “Body Hunting and a Twist”

We began the session with a Dragon Fight! Auric Goldtooth, the golden dragon, pulled himself out from under his pile of gold (revealing that there were several seemingly electricity-filled tubes connected to his body) before referring to himself as the ‘Golden Storm’ and blasting Monk and Bull with concussive waves of Thunder. And then they […]

Brightwind – Episode 21 “Escalating Relations”

We began the session with the party waking in the morning to begin their preparations. They knew that the museum was due to open that evening, so had the day to do what they wanted/needed before they were going to meet there to scope things out and see if they could find the shard. But […]

Brightwind – Episode 20 “Auric Goldtooth’s Goldmine Hotel and Casino”

I finally did it. It only took twenty sessions, but I feel like I finally nailed what I’m going for as a DM. A session that was a little zany, rewarded creative thinking, and was more than a little infuriating for my players. Which makes me reflect on the type of person I am, if […]
