  • Pathfinder 2nd Edition Playtest

    During the recent Gencon convention, my son and I had the opportunity to do a short playtest of the new mechanics being rolled out for Pathfinder 2nd Edition.  Nothing super fancy, just a basic combat scenario with low level characters, to see what the differences were.  We were teamed up with 3 other players, two…

  • Gencon 2018

    Had a fun mini-vacation with the family over the weekend, attending Gencon this year.  We only went for the Sunday “family day”, mainly to save a bit on cost, but realized after the fact that that may just not be enough time any longer.  It used to be that a single day was enough to…

  • Pathfinder – Rise of the Runelords – Pride

    In our latest session, the group wrapped up the Shimmering Veils of Pride, deep in the Runeforge.  By the end of the session, they had solved several challenges, including a detailed process to create their Dominating weapons, and had clues as to how to eventually escape Runeforge.  In the process, they first had to deal…

  • Upcoming Pathfinder

    Our next session of Pathfinder is this weekend, with the group continuing into the Veils of Pride, within Runeforge.  Having defeated their images previously, they now need to solve the rest of the traps and encounters, and then hopefully sort out how to craft the Dominating weapons they will need to eventually face Karzoug. In…

  • Shadowrun – Shadows of Seattle

    Starting our Shadowrun campaign this weekend, now that we have sorted out the basic training.  Schedule is for the game to start at 2 PM EST on Sunday, and we will play likely until about 7 PM.  This will continue to be thru the Roll20 virtual tabletop, and I continue to plan to broadcast the…

  • Rise of the Runelords – Mirrors

    Our latest session of Pathfinder found the group facing off with the old traditional staple of fighting themselves with mirror doppelgangers.  Having wrapped up the Iron Cages of Lust, they opted to stay focused on the mission, and after a rest to recover and heal, they moved on to the Shimmering Veils of Pride.  As…

  • Pathfinder – Rise of the Runelords

    Continuing our Pathfinder campaign this weekend, and hopefully making some progress after wrapping up the Runeforge Halls of Lust section.  The group has to at least tackle the Halls of Pride section, to obtain the mystical items they need, plus they need to figure out how to combine the pieces into the magical items they…
