Ho-To DM: DMing Young People

Sorry for the late post…it’s been a busy day. I had a number of doctor’s appointments today, so please forgive me. Tonight, Dear Readers, was an awesome game. I’m not going to do a summary, although it would be great, but I will let you know that I am running Waterdeep: Dragon Heist. But thisContinue reading “Ho-To DM: DMing Young People”

Miniature Painting Update: Knocking Out Some of My Projects!

Just a quick update on two of my projects: Today I worked with the aasimar paladin. The only reason she has flesh tone on her face is that I had, a while back, accidentally poured out too much of the flesh color and pulled out a bunch of minis and started painting faces. Then IContinue reading “Miniature Painting Update: Knocking Out Some of My Projects!”

[Insert Fill-In Post] Explanation to Follow

So my Sunday group has finished Rime of the Frostmaiden, and I looked up something for them to play, and settled on running Dragon Heist. Due to the rather…prestigiously large number of times I’ve run this, as well as the fact that they are still in chapter 1, I won’t be recounting their adventures asContinue reading “[Insert Fill-In Post] Explanation to Follow”

Miniature Painting Update: Acererak + New Project

Dear Readers, I’m back! I’m sorry for the hiatus. I really needed to take a mental health break. As all of you or some of you may know, I deal with MS as well as chronic depression and I really needed some time to get my head back in a good place. That said, hereContinue reading “Miniature Painting Update: Acererak + New Project”

Rime of the Frostmaiden: The Finale

Dear Readers, due to the…decisions of the party, the campaign ended rather…abruptly. And no, it wasn’t a TPK…Also, the ranger/rogue and the fighter/rogue were gone and we had two substitute players: a halfling and a goliath barbarian. The battle against the demilich continued, with two new allies joining the fight! Upon joining, the goliath barbarianContinue reading “Rime of the Frostmaiden: The Finale”

This Was Supposed to Be a Different Post..

The original plan was to write a post about running a game for young children who are brand new to dungeons & dragons. Originally, I was supposed to be doing just that tonight. That did not happen. When the organizer and I, for this particular event, had arrived, the store event organizer advised us thatContinue reading “This Was Supposed to Be a Different Post..”

Rime of the Frostmaiden: The Central Spire

Dear Readers, thank you for your understanding while I took some time with my family in my absence. You all are great. When last we left our heroes, they had just driven off Auril, and had taken a long rest. Seeing that the force field around the central spire was still down, the party decidedContinue reading “Rime of the Frostmaiden: The Central Spire”

TGAPP: Battle of Borest

We find the majority of the Inglorious Ingrates cradling and licking their wounds after their improvised assault on the goblin barracks in Borest. After it was all said and done, they realized they had killed over 8 goblins and a warg that spoke common, and the corpses were arranged to give the other goblins theContinue reading “TGAPP: Battle of Borest”

TGAPP: The Plight of Borest

We find our merry band of former slaves sailing freely away from the doomed island on a burial ship containing the pirate king’s deceased son and a large amount of sacrificial treasure. While badly wounded and traumitized by their experience on the island, the group still sought to return to their homes, so they setContinue reading “TGAPP: The Plight of Borest”

How to DM: DMing Kids

As many of you may have read, I have an affinity for kids. I, myself, have a number of them. I love kids. When I began Adventures League where I used to live, it was really just to get my kids out of the house to give my wife a break (we didn’t have anyContinue reading “How to DM: DMing Kids”

Rime of the Frostmaiden: Someone is Coming to Get Us…

Dear Readers, it has come to my attention that I apparently cut my notes off short last time, and missed them going to the Tower of Transmutation, as well as the beginning of a fight. I will begin this post by correcting that mistake… We pick up our tale with the party entering into theContinue reading “Rime of the Frostmaiden: Someone is Coming to Get Us…”

How-To DM: Game Extras

Pretty much everyone knows the basics of playing D&D. You need your books, dice, character sheets, an adventure/module to run, players and a DM. That’s the basics of what one needs to be able to play. But that’s just the basics. What else can enhance your game above and beyond the basics? Electronic Campaign TrackingContinue reading “How-To DM: Game Extras”
