Playing Dice with the Universe

  Our Heroes Morgan (David F.) - Fire Wizard Ragnar (Oliver) - Human Bodyguard Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Cook Chapter 59  Having collected the money we were owed from the Tavern we decided to combine our plans and get a second barrel as well as look to trade some Spells for Morgan.  Our journey through the pass was easy.  On the way we saw Hernan who paid us 30 gold to bring him tobacco. Having reached the Orcs Maruge, the Shaman, was not keen to trade more wine.  She was wanting Elf bows.  Then she asked for almost as much money as we were going to sell the barrel for! With some persuasion Tayy was able to convince here to sell for a more reasonable price giving a promise that next time we would return with Elven bows when we wanted wine. Morgan and Maruge talked about magic and showed off spells to each other.  Maruge tried three times to get a fear spell to work on Ragnar and Tayy before they finally ran away.  It did not seem like a...

    Once again we have a beautifully produced full colour book that is slightly marred by the lack of proof reading.  Almost everything in the book is a reprint of the 2016 content updated to use the new team special rules.  There are little things such as Ranulf the Ref still having to "roll higher than the AV of the player" even though the main rule book changes AV 7 to be AV 8+ being everyone else is having to roll equal to AV.  Then we have the new Mercenary rules where the Elf starts with AG 2+ but can increase this by 2 to AG 0+ when AG 1+ is the max allowed!!? New Inducements This section takes all the inducements printed in the old Death Zone and Spike journals and updates them to use the new team special rules.  Instead of being taken by an Orc or Dwarf team they are now Badlands Brawl or Worlds Edge.  This expands which teams can take them.  Some of the inducements have had minor alterations and there are a couple I have not seen before....

  Background: Exploring the 'Old World' of Warhammer where the renaissance meets magic.  In Wissenland, where the Grey and Black mountains meet, sits the sleepy trading town of Kreutzhofen but nearby the minions of Chaos plot disruption. Our Heroes Rubinifa (Rob) - Human Thief Morgan (David F.) - Fire Wizard Flendac (Kris) - Human Swords-master Faefiel (Elliot) - Elven Outlaw Ragnar (Oliver) - Human Bodyguard Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Cook Chapter 57 Having spent an hour at the Black Eagle discussing options the party split into two groups.  Rubinifa and Flendac stayed in town planning to plant the warp stone on watch commander Lothar Matheus.  Having met up with Magnus and given him the information about the outlaws Morgan, Ragnar and Faefiel were sent with Sanna and a group of Watchmen in to the Winters Teeth Pass to deal with Gabriel Martinelli outlaw gang.   As expected the party were accosted by Gabriel Martinelli and his outlaw gang....

  Background A nostalgic dungeon delving game using the Moldvay Basic D&D rules which we have now been playing for over three years. It is an open table format game with who ever turns up heading into the dungeon making progress somewhat difficult as we keep going through the same rooms.  With death are retirement the regular party has changed somewhat since last I had enough time for blogging the game sessions.  The game is currently socially distanced being playing using Discord. We found a treasure map and have been exploring a ruined fortress looking for loot and monsters to slay. "In the Rift there is the Fortress of Skile, two towers with a gatehouse between. Beneath the eastern tower, a stair leads down to a crypt where lies the Fabled Hoard of Riha the Bejeweled. Gems without count and fabulous jewellery are there, adorning the bones of the last of the Sorcerer-Queens. From the tower, take the staircase, and at the landing, turn west. Foul things lurk in t...

Our Heroes Rubinifa (Rob) - Human Thief Morgan (David F.) - Fire Wizard Faefiel (Elliot) - Elven Outlaw Ragnar (Oliver) - Human Bodyguard Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Cook Chapter 56 Tayy was out buying flour to finish the morning baking when a gentleman asked if he knew where to find Morgan and Rubinifa.  Tayy directed him to the Black Eagle and was tipped a crown for doing so.  He had never met the gentleman before and therefore did not recognise Thomas Lamar (chaos cultist). Meanwhile Silavan was at the Black Eagle berating Morgan for not having  convinced Greeg to sell property.  Silavan was also upset about the recent death of watchman.  He is from Wusterberg, the same location as the guards, and seemed...

Our Heroes Rubinifa (Rob) - Human Thief Faefiel (Elliot) - Elven Outlaw Ragnar (Oliver) - Human Bodyguard Tayy Whitethorn (Michael) - Halfling Cook Chapter 55 Listening to the rumors around the bar Tayy heard that three members of the watch had their throats slit the other night while they had been collecting protection money from ships.  There was a reward of 50 crowns for information or 100 crowns for the heads of the perpetrators! Gathering his friends they all went to the watch house to find out more information.  Captain Lotar mentioned the men has been killed out on the east road but seemed to be holding back about telling all he knew. Taking a morning stroll along the river bank the group eventually found an ambush site on ...
