Let’s Play ATOM RPG Early Access #2 – Otradnoye

Exploring Otradnoye (the starting village in the game) while picking up rookie quests and a nice drunken hallucination along the way. First look at the barter system and combat. Mushrooms seem a popular theme. Rubles rule, bottle caps drool.

ATOM RPG is a post-apocalyptic indie game, inspired by classic CRPGs: Fallout, Wasteland, Deus Ex, Baldur’s Gate and many others.

Pathfinder Kingmaker Beta thumbnail

Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #8 – Old Sycamore

Kobolds like to trap stuff and Linzi, frankly, may be perky but she kinda sucks at disarming them. Plummeting to the Old Sycamore Depths for fun and profit. Giant spiders. Skeletons. More giant spiders. Shedding weight isn’t easy. Why are we getting our butts kicked so much? Oh yeah, we’re level 2.

Pathfinder: Kingmaker – an isometric CRPG inspired by the gameplay experience of classics like Baldur’s Gate and Neverwinter Nights!

Have you got what it takes to rule a kingdom? With the help of your advisors you take care of the affairs of your subjects and communicate with delegates of the neighboring kingdoms. But it’s not just all politics! Trolls, bandits, and other dangerous beasts are threatening the lands and it is up to you to end their threat. Explore, engage in real-time strategic combat, discover treasure and ancient artifacts, and become the ruler of the Stolen Lands!

But you won’t be undertaking this adventure alone – many companions will join you on your journey, lending their strength to yours. Together, you can conquer any foe and overcome the greatest challenges. And they’re not just soulless puppets – like you, they have their own story, goals, and motivations! Talk to them, get to know them by the campfire during your adventures. Watch them become your loyal friends – or turn on you if you betray their trust.

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes Title

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #76 – The Labyrinth / Gallery of Angels / Maze Engine

What’s the angle on these angels and why are they stonewalling us, anyway? That demon’s pretty ugly, but he sure is polite. Big clockwork shinies and the players that love them. Rate of falling rules. Figurines of Wondrous Power aren’t familiars. When can a summoned creature first take an action? “Overly enthusiastic, underly wise” players wanting to chase a demon lord and how to save them with Robert Frost.

This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.

Each video follows the most recent session with his group.

Let’s Play Pathfinder: Kingmaker Beta #7 – Old Sycamore

Turns out Tartuccio isn’t just a big fat jerko, he’s also a spy actively working against our mission. The mites and kobolds in the Old Sycamore area are a might testy. Nightmare wisps are a bit of a nightmare. Frog legs for dinner. Falling off of a log hurts. Bandits tend to trap the area around their camps, which can be a hot mess. More clarification in the UI on encumbrance.

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes Title

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #75 – The Labyrinth / Yeenoghu’s Hunt / The Filthriddens

The terrible tableau of Yeenoghu’s Hunt and his bullheaded opponent! There may be gnoll escape for our heroes… Demon lord’s blood and goristro hearts. Quick look at the Filthriddens. Should taking a level in a different class ever prompt a request for in-game reasoning? Viewer feedback: The Maze engine throws a DM for a (time) loop, the short and long rest discussuin continues with variants and house rules, more thoughts on pushing/knockback damage.

This is an ongoing series of Shane’s notes, thoughts and tips for running the D&D adventure Out of the Abyss, which is the tabletop portion of the Rage of Demons story line.
