OwlConners: Your one chance to play RPGs this year has arrived! Savor it!

For the Anthology game on Friday we kicked-off what will be a few sessions of Dungeon World. Our heroes were: Sinafel, the elven druid; Petrov, the human templar; Kwan-Yu, the elven initiate; and Karxen the Wanderer, the human barbarian. They are members of the mercenary company, the Blue Brotherhood, sent on a mission to find the legendary Armory of Light, which contains weapons that will help the Brotherhood purge the hordes of undead from the land.

Their mission was slightly detoured by the need to rescue a former lover of Sinafel’s from bandits. They infiltrated the caves the bandits were hiding out in, only to discover their leader was the beholder Shebelogoyle, now old and decrepit, though still incredibly dangerous. They defeated Shebelogoyle, only to find out the caves were filling up with zombies. They’ll need to fight their way out next session.

It was great fun (DW always is). Thanks to Derek Grimm Rob Ferguson Ferrell Riley and Russell Benner!

The Anthology folder is updated. I have added Sects, Clans, & Organizations. I have also updated the Deities and Timeline docs.

We’re playing Dungeon World tonight for the Anthology session. If you have ever wanted to give DW a try, tonight would be a great time do so!

If anyone wants to come out to Wednesday One-Shots, I’ll be running a session of Pathfinder. For those of you who don’t know what Pathfinder is, it’s about groups of people with poor impulse control. The characters are usually small-time criminals with a shady past, but sometimes they’re just normal folks caught-up in tragic circumstances. A good comparison are the films of Joel and Ethan Coen – but with an RPG twist!

I love Pathfinder. The emphasis on fast character creation, free-flowing narrative play, and relationships between PCs are what make it really stand out in the crowd. To me, the best RPGs are when you rarely touch the dice. Well, in Pathfinder, you are guaranteed to never roll the dice more than three times per session. 

So come play Pathfinder! We’ll begin searching for all the paths tonight at 7:00 pm at Jax Grill!

Pathfinder.
