Pathfinder – Pokey Darkstrike Jr, Dwarf Fighter
The second of our merry band is a rebuild of the season 2 character, though now a descendant. Pokey Darkstrike is a Dwarf Fighter, played by my son, who has only recently started playing roleplaying games with us.

Ages of Ashes has begun
Our first session of Age of Ashes for Pathfinder second edition started on Sunday, and was a mixed success.

Fantasy Grounds
As part of our upcoming Age of Ashes campaign, we are going to try to add some virtual tabletop options, specifically the Fantasy Grounds tool. For those players with a laptop available, I will be asking them to install the client version, to be able to (hopefully) connect reliably to a GM session on my…
