DCO, Knock# 2 and Making an RPG?


Deep Carbon Observatory


My group and I have been playing through Deep Carbon Observatory Remastered by Patrick Stuart and Scrap Princess. We have all been big fans of it so far, and have about half of the dungeon left to explore before we finish up.

I plan to do a write up once we've finished as I'd like to speak to the group about the adventure overall and get more of their take on it as well.

The party are especially loving the isometric maps by Dirk Detweiler Leichty, which is lucky for them as we are going into Silent Titans next.

I created a token to track travel location on roll20 as they ventured through the DROWNED LANDS. Feel free to use it for your own ends.


Knock #2

I'm going to be in Knock #2! Which just finished up the campaign on Kickstarter. I am very excited to be a part of this project and hopefully look forward to working with The Merry Mushmen  more in the future, or actually getting some time together to do my own thing.

Making an RPG?

I am going to be attending webinar with Chris McDowall of Into the Odd and Electric Bastionland fame. It's all about designing your own RPG and I'm excited to be part of it. I plan to write more on this after the event.

Updates to this blog have been sparse due to work and life issues. Nothing overly concerning but my attention is unfortunately diverted elsewhere for the next month or so.

Monsters from Ravenloft I6 converted for use in OSE

Barovian Villagers The Barovians and their ancestors have lived in this valley for as long as anyone can remember. Their lives are deeply imbedded in their homes and their traditions .

Fortunes of Ravenloft

I am running I6 Ravenloft in OSE soon, I wanted to use the Tarokka deck but the original adventure doesn't actually use it at all so I have transplanted some of the Tarokka deck onto the playing cards so I can still use them as a handout in the game rather than just using playing cards. Fortunes of Ravenloft Location of the Holy Symbol - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card is a symbol of great power. It tells of a powerful force for good and protection against the forces of darkness. Location of the Tome of Strahd - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card tells of history. Knowledge of the ancient may help you understand a foe. Location of the Strahd von Zarovich - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This is the object of your search! I see darkness and evil behind this card! It is a powerful man whose enemy is light, and whose powers are beyond mortality! Location of the Sunsword hilt - Draw one card from Places and Modifiers This card is good for you. ...

Session 1: Tomb of the Serpent Kings

 My group and I played through the first section of 'Tomb of the Serpent Kings' by Skerples this evening. My players and I are typically used to playing 5e and this is our attempt of moving away from that and trying something different. We had a session zero last week where we discussed what we want to do, what books I have that I can run and what I think would be good to start with. As it's billed as a dungeon for beginners to the OSR style of play we opted for Tomb of the Serpent Kings. The 3 players, Fighter, Magic-User and Thief respectively took a very cautious trek through the upper section of the tomb. We had our first (and so far only) death in one of the very first rooms! A lack of caution when breaking a clay statue, from the Thief caused the poor PC to die from asphyxiation as he choked to death on poison gas. (northerly room 2) As we are still getting to grips with this style of play, and dungeon. I allowed the player to either stick Jr. at the end of the name o...
