Playing Dice with the Universe

  Chapter 1 Reunion Tanis and Tasselhoff were the first of the travellers to return to Solace and be reunited with Flint. A week later Tanis heard a strange tale about a woman with healing powers only a days journey away on the other side of the lake. Taking Flint's cart he and Tass headed off to investigate. They were overjoyed to encounter Caramon and Raislin on the road coming towards town. As the four friends caught up on what had happened over the last five years two plainsmen came running out of the woods being chased by Hobgoblins and an Ogre. A short battle ensured during which the companions saw one of the two woman, who carried a glowing blue staff, calling up Mishakal and the wounds inflicted on the other women closed. After the battle the two strangers introduced themselves as Goldmoon and Riverwind. Everyone returned to Flint's house in Solace to discuss what they had seen. Goldmoon explained they had been driven out from their tribe and were looking for a pl...

  The Aliens RPG starter set contains the "Chariot of the Gods" prewritten adventure.  The adventure is in three acts and each of the five player characters get personal agenda cards for each act.  They can earn story points for completing their objectives.  I ran the adventure with three players as a one off session between our D&D campaigns. Initially we were going to have more but a few people could not make it on the day.  I actually think it worked better with less players at it gave me more NPC's that could get killed without having to hand out new characters to the rest of the players. Overall we liked the system with the option to push rolls and gain stress dice that could make bad things happen.  It certainly works well for a one off adventure. Adventure Summary. The crew of the USCSS Montero were woken from cryo-sleep and found a derelict ship the USCSS Cronus that was lost 77 years ago.  Will had to put some work in to get the airlock br...

  The World of Krynn The Age of Might The Age of Might was the golden age of Krynn. It lasted nearly a thousand years, and was a time of power, glory, and achievement.  Eventually The Empire of Istar created the first government to rule all the continent of Ansalon.  Silvanesti joined the Empire of Istar in the Treaty of Elfmeld. Under heavy pressure from neighbouring states, the dwarven kingdom of Kal-thax agreed to join.  Finally, Solamnia and Ergoth submitted to the Greatmeld.  The glory of Istar had now triumphed. An unlimited future of peace was at hand. The forces of evil seemed to have been completely vanished, dragons were no more, and the ogres had been broken.  In the 959th year of the Age of Might the High Kingpriest of Istar decided to rid the land of even the vestiges of evil by summoning one of the Gods to do his bidding... The Cataclysm was the result. The Cataclysm The Gods were angered at the pride of the High Kingpriest, as a parent is ang...

 Shadowdark House Rules These are the seven house rules I have been using for Shadowdark games during 2025.  I could see making changes to the death timer for the second campaign but I am really happy with how the other six performed. 1 Character Creation - Stats After rolling your six stats in order you may swap one pair of numbers. As normal if none of your stats are 14 or higher, you may roll a new set of six numbers. Rational: This is an old rule from our Basic D&D Game to allow players to play their preferred Class. Given Stats are random anyway it is not really changing much while giving Players more choice (always a good thing). 2 COMBAT INITIATIVE! Simultaneous Initiative. All Players announce what their Character is going to do and then roll any dice for their actions. All Monsters then perform their actions. At the end of the combat round any Character or Monster who has gone to 0 HP or less falls unconscious and is dying. Rational: Initiative tend...
