D&D Out of the Abyss Notes Title

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #63 – The Wormwrithings

Leave a reply

Finishing up the troglodyte lair. A fearsome voice in the dark and then into the worm nursery. A player discovers unexpected consequences for rash behavior. Can you cast two spells in one turn with a spell gem? Dealing with “power creep” and players who don’t always show up. Happy New Year!

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.

This was a YouTube Live Stream video. Resting mechanics, the Spider Cave and the Ancient Tomb. Linzi the bard is recruited.

(Alpha means incomplete. Not all content and features are fully implemented, not all in-game copy is perfect, there will be bugs – this game is still a work in progress.)

For more information on Pathfinder: Kingmaker please visit https://goo.gl/SwTxgo

Thanks to Owlcat Games for the invitation to the Closed Alpha.

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.
