It was a big one today. Mammoth session, and an important story beat for the campaign. Let’s get into it. The session began with the party, plus Duck and minus Borfel, driving towards Castletown. They got unlucky again, and were caught in another storm, but aside from brief stints where strange, source-less music played, Monk […]

So this will be a brief one, I think, because it was dominated by a single, large combat. But we’ll get to that. The session began with the party beginning their pursuit of the convoy as it left Castletown, heading south. They kept their distance and managed to go undetected until the convoy stopped at […]
Beginning the session in the town of Castletown, an industrial hodgepodge of scrappers, smithies, burly, aggressive individuals, and markets, all built up around an old, stone keep surrounded by a wall, the party asked around and learned a little about the town and its unofficial warboss, Cousin Dirkolai. However, their research also brought upon them […]
To start off, a little housekeeping. The Blue Fern’s player has had to pull out of the campaign due to those annoying real life responsibilities that got in the way last week. It’s possible she’ll show up again down the line, but for the foreseeable future, the Blue Fern is MIA. In a similar vein, […]
Well. Wellity wellity wellity. I’m struggling to think of something to say other than well. So… well? Today, I DM’ed for my first ever D&D campaign session. I have DM’ed once before, for a one-shot, but it was a very different beast. For starters, one-shots, at least in my experience, are in an entirely different […]
This week’s video is the first in a new series I’ll be creating. The goal of this series is to explore D&D, from the basic fundamentals to the abstract and absurd. This first episode tries to explain the very basic question of ‘What is D&D?’ My hope is that, for someone that has never experienced […]
AKA the shortest session of D&D we’ve ever had. AKA I was right. So the session began exactly where we left off last time, with me standing in the room with the hench lady and the others outside, ready to rush in and help. Which is exactly what Korfel, with the highest initiative, did. Unfortunately, […]

Painting Critical Role Episode 1
This week’s video is something a little different to the last two. Still D&D related, and still Critical Role related, but this time it’s about miniature painting. I’m not sure if I’ve ever spoken about miniature painting on this blog, but it has been a hobby of mine for a long time. Far longer than […]
I made another one – this time, Critical Role related. I must have talked about Critical Role on this blog before, but if I haven’t, Critical Role was what got me interested in playing D&D. It’s a great show, by great people. Check them out. …I don’t really have any more to say about this […]
…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 […]
