Finally back

By

Hello,
I don't know if anybody is still out there but I am finally clear of law school, bar study, and my trip to Viet Nam. I am settled in at a regular 9 to 5 (actually 7 to 4) job again as a lawyer for the U.S. Government in MD. Working for the Federal Government was my goal entering law school, so it is Mission Accomplished over here. I enjoy law, but money is a horrible motivator for me, knowing I am helping my fellow citizens makes me eager to get in every day.

From a blogging standpoint this is also good news. I know my postings have been pretty slim around here for the last year or so, but I have built up a good backlog of posts so you should be seeing a lot more, even if I have busy periods.

While things have been bleak on the blogging front, they have been great on the gaming front. For a period of time over the last year I had three regular games going at once: an OSRIC game in Stonehell (DM), a Pathfinder game (Player), and a Castle and Crusades game set in the City State of the Invincible Overlord (CK). The Stonehell game continues and we will be playing a session this weekend. The Castles and Crusades group carries on without me with Drance from Once More Unto the Breach at the helm.

I will be checking out my FLGS here in southern MD on Wed. for D&D encounters, to try to meet some local gamers. While my ultimate goal is to get players for some old school gaming, I am also excited to try out the Encounters format. I ran a 4th Ed. game through most of the heroic tier when the game was released and enjoyed it. I admit that I have not paid much attention to 4th Ed since then, so I will basically be a noob.

I went to GenCon again this summer, and I will have some (very late) things to say about that. I also acquired Hexographer/Dungeonographer and I have been making maps and write-ups of some very, very old adventures I wrote using those programs. I hope to post some of those soon.

As a sign of good faith, you will be getting another post from me.... Now

    Congrats on all fronts!

    And here's to being both in Maryland and employed by the government! Which FLGS do you frequent?

    Big Larry's Comics in Leonardtown. By the way, I just finished reading through your 4e actual plays and really enjoyed them. I ran Keep on the Shadowfell when it came out, it looks like a lot of the changes you made improved it greatly.

    Wow, seriously southern MD. I'm up near Baltimore, sadly.

    Glad you enjoyed them. The changes made a big difference, and still are for Thunderspire.

Wilderlands: Session 32

By
  This session was run on February 13, 2023. Determined to find Uggmar, the party, now accompanied by Rasaz, headed back into the dungeon beneath the barrow mounds using the northeast entrance. They decided that they were unlikely to find him on the first level and, rather than risk getting swarmed by skeletons again,they headed directly down the stairs they found on their last expedition. After a hundred foot descent, they found themselves in a large cavern that contained what appeared to be an underground city. The architecture of the buildings they could see seemed to be from an earlier era, perhaps before man learned to work iron. As they began searching the streets, they noticed a woman standing very still in a doorway. They approched her to find that she seemed to be frozen in time, surrounded by a strange red glow. Nothing they did seemed to affect her. She could not be moved, nor could her clothes or body be disturbed. As they were examining the woman, Strange...

Traveller: Session 33

By
  This session was run on June 15, 2023.   130-2108   They confronted Reverend Kavanaugh about the wrench and the explosive bolts and he changed his story again. He now claimed that, even in his revised story, he had still tried to protect Dieter and his memory. Dieter had not just surrendered to fate and drawn straws after his failed attempt to poison Kavanaugh at breakfast. As soon as it was clear that the paralytic was not working, he attempted to choke Kavanaugh. As the two wrestled, Kavanaugh grabbed a wrench from the toolbox, left in the common room during their repair efforts, and bashed Dieter over the head. He had then flushed Dieter’s body, along with the wrench, out of the airlock. He claimed not to have known about the explosive bolts and said that, because there were only two of them aboard, there were sixteen hours each day where only one of them was awake.   Unable to determine if this latest story was true, they informed...

Traveller : Session 53

By
    This session was run on January 18, 2024.   220-1118   In the morning, they decided to take the Gerald Masters interview job. Marvin was still too hung over from the night before and had to beg off for the day. They spread out through the station looking for prospective interviewees. Simmi was fairly successful, finding three people willing to be interviewed. She was surprised to learn that most of them were worried that having the fleet there would attract violent attention from the Solomoni instead of providing protection. Aryanna found two people willing to be interviewed, both of which seemed resentful of the large numbers of Navy personnel wandering around the station. M'han was unable to find anyone who would let him interview them.   Zarf attempted to interview a few men in a bar and almost caused a fight because he was asking too many questions. Another patron stepped in at the last minute and started talking about the ...
