For those interested, I’ve started selling my old collection of RPG books, about 50 at a time since that’s the number of free listings ebay will allow me in a month. It’s a bit painful because I took a long time to build up this collection but they’re currently not doing anything in the States while I’m in Japan and life demands money.

If I get a go ahead from the staff in response to this post, I’ll post a link in the comments.

So, we conclude the pirate attack on the shard and the Sol Suna with a good counter attack by the players that came close to harm in a few places but has left them mostly safe for now.

With this last session we had a few problems in the game,

My character was still a little bit jittery from her first taste of blood and almost started a fight with someone I suspect is an Avatar. Our EMT tried some rush self-surgery and accidentally made his problems worse, and Patricia’s tendency to talk to the narrator when under stress caused her to walk into an ambush.

Very exciting session…and next case is my turn to run.

Well, the next session of this campaign is in about 5 hours and I’ve finally gotten the report finished. There wasn’t much in the way of a fight at all this time, nor really any need to use social skills. We spent sometime in the cells and then were released.

I’m a little suspicious about how easily Azu was woken up, but it might just have been that easy once we got to Nakatari.

The deva of the Crossroads campaign leave the Center after rescuing Medi from the Ellyion revolutionaries (and then recruiting said revolutionaries). We come to Opali, a world mostly filled with small races like goblins, gnomes, halflings, and kobolds. The continent we are heading too had apparently discovered bureaucracy. This did result in a bit of Monty Python style humor but then we moved on to investigate the problem…and neatly destroyed all of my brother’s preparation by preventing a fight he thought we’d only find in the middle of happening.

My third session in Celtic Wolf’s campaign with some other people at the Loading Ready Run community discord.

In this session, my yuan-ti warlock got unmasked as not human (not that she was doing that great a job beforehand):

—————————————————————

“I think everyone in this party has darkvision.

Oh! wait! I didn’t say that. I am a perfectly average human person who can’t see in the dark. Someone please light a torch so I can see please.”

“Smooth.”

—————————————————————–

I also got to summon my flying snake familiar (And I really should add the image the GM found of a cute winged snake to her character sheet) and make use of her abilities in a fight.

Aside from that we had a rather painful encounter with a daemon and picked up some hints of bad things going on.

Two reports today going over four different game sessions.

In the unnamed campaign I play with some fans from the Loading Ready Run discord, we went to go negotiate with some goblins. The first group were nomadic and fine to move on, but first the chief wanted us to rescue his daughter who had been kidnapped by another clan further to the north.

One thing I’ve found about the format of Zihu’s hymns is that it’s harder to interject humor into those than it was the ballads in the Princes of the Apocalypse story. My party is a bit disturbed by the results of death by radiant damage (think Raiders of the Lost Ark) and are also inordinately concerned with the Create Bonfire cantrip. Though as it currently stands, I am the primary healer of the team.

I will note that the ballistae and troll were both legit scary to run into as 2nd level characters.

We’ve hit third level now, the barbarian chose to go with Storm Herald, Zihu is going pact of the chain so she can get a flying snek that can convey her heals via a boop on the snoot. The bard and rogue I don’t think have chosen their archetypes yet.

Meanwhile, we’ve had three sessions of the crossroads campaign but two of those were short sessions focused mostly on our team doing basic set-up of her stronghold and figuring out how to look for and recruit people as well as take on jobs for the center. My brother really likes to do management style games so he’s quite good at setting up this sort of thing. It does mean a bit of time getting set up though.

We’ve rescheduled our meeting time so that I’m more conscious for game and the most recent game went much better going 5 hours in total. Though we still spent most of that investigating and hanging out an open air cafe waiting for the cavalier we want to recruit before trying her house and having to go rescue her.

In any case, given Kanti is a bit more wordy in her journal than Zihu it’s easier to show the exact events, though I tend to have her skim over them a little bit.

Okay, well I got the report for session 4 done before session 5 started (just barely though). This concludes what my brother terms the prologue and it seems like our next task will be to recruit some help in this quest to prove the innocence of our client, Istryx, now former goddess of secrets.

I’ve started playing in a D&D campaign in my Sunday mornings a bit. Playing a celestial warlock with some people that are on the Loading Ready Run discord server.

For the character I decided to go with a bit of an Aztec feel, partially because I’m trying to expand on the cultures I draw from for my characters, and so went looking for some Aztec poetic forms. The only one I could find was hymnals. On the one hand this is apropos because the character is a celestial warlock. But on the other, you don’t write hymns about your day to day life events.

That said, she happened upon the discovery of her patron, an opposite to the evil serpent deity of most yuan-ti, and is now on the run due to her family and people considering her a dangerous heretic. So maybe she is trying to make up hymns on the fly. She’s young and alone, who knows.

In any case, I’ll link the journal page, character sheet, and first set of hymns (while I looked at some of the way the poems structured themselves, the structure I went with is ultimately one I just made up, not authentic in any regard)

I am now slightly less behind on all my game reports.

I need to do the Divine Blood report before it flees my mind still. Though I’ll likely be doing some transcription tonight instead.

In this case we’re back to the adventures of my German Changeling bard (currently disguised as a half-elf) investigating The Catacombs in search of the goddess of secrets, Iystrx.
