…which is becoming my mantra for the campaign, apparently. However, Orgonbrand surviving this session does make him my longest-lived starting character since I started telling D&D stories on this blog. Pretty big deal. However however, last time such a milestone was broken, I immediately died in the next session (RIP Jack) and the way this […]

Interesting news for the blog: asininedave has gone multimedia! What does that mean? Well, it means asininedave now refers to himself in the third person. Just kidding. I’m just excited. What it means is, I have finally taken the plunge and created a youtube video telling one of many D&D anecdotes. If you’ve been reading […]
First of all, I didn’t die! Orgonbrand has made it through his fifth session. I am not at all confident for his sixth session, but we’ll get to that later. For now, all that matters is he made it through this one. Not without a couple of extremely close calls, but we’ll get to that […]
First thing first, we did not have any extra party members this week. We are actually due to be gaining two players – the new person from last week’s one-shot and an old member of the group who had to leave before I started writing about D&D on this blog – but due to scheduling […]
For this one-shot, the basic premise was that we were a party of tomb raiders delving into an Egyptian-themed tomb in search of treasure. We were on the clock, because some mysterious opposition was only a few hours behind us, so were unable to rest too often. And our characters were at level 10. That […]
Talk about teetering on the brink of death. No one died this session, but for reference, I started with 15 hit points, and up until the long rest we ended on I never had more than that. In fact, mostly I was sitting on less. The others, too, were somewhat hit point light for the […]
The investigation continues. We began the session by speaking to the Guild contact we met just at the end of the last one. She told us that she couldn’t help us herself, but she had an associate who could, and that associate owed her a favour. With her blessing, since it would help her own […]
Here we go again. We began this campaign just inside one of the gates of Baldur’s Gate, which is currently sealed to keep anyone from getting in or out due to a massive recent influx of refugees. The three new player characters happened to be nearby when a fight broke out between civilians and guards, […]
I was going to begin this recount with the surprising and hopeful note – that I forgot to mention last time – that, by surviving last week’s session, Jack became my longest-lived character since I started to recount my D&D adventures (ten sessions alive) . I would have ended that recount, as, indeed, I ‘wittily’ […]
We began the session with our preparations for my solo scouting missions. These were brief. They mostly involved me handing most of my possessions to Cassius, just in case I didn’t make it back, before he turned me invisible. Then I went a-swimming. However, overall, my scouting went much better than I was anticipating. Despite […]
