D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #37

Leave a reply

This episode: Cleansing the temple in Blingdenstone’s Rockblight is elementary. The “enthusiasm” of brand new players. Sometimes metagaming is just gonna happen. Smartphones at the table aren’t always a bad thing.

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 Star Wars The Old Republic Trooper #14

Leave a reply

NEXT WEEK: MODIPHIUS ENTERTAINMENT

The upcoming Star Trek Adventures RPG from Modiphius Entertainment!

http://www.modiphius.com/star-trek.html

Let’s Play Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear #12

Leave a reply

This episode: We solve the mystery of the menhirs, play spectral matchmaker, and decide to help out some dwarves with a pesky undead problem.

From developer Beamdog‘s marketing copy:

A major new expansion to Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition adds areas, action, and adventure to the original!

“Fate leads him who follows it, and drags him who resist.” -Plutarch

Though Sarevok is dead and his plan for war averted, peace eludes the citizens of Baldur’s Gate. A crusade marches from the north, seizing supplies, forcing locals into military service, and disrupting trade along the Sword Coast. A charismatic warrior known as the Shining Lady leads this army, her background shrouded in mystery. Can the rumors be true—is she, like you, the child of a god?

The closer you get to the Shining Lady, the more you realize your father, the dead Lord of Murder still casts a long shadow upon your path. Baldur’s Gate has put its faith in you, but you must determine whose interests you truly serve before you face the Shining Lady among the ruins of Dragonspear Castle…

Baldur’s Gate: Siege of Dragonspear adds a new chapter to the Bhaalspawn saga. The events occurring between Baldur’s Gate and Baldur’s Gate II are at last revealed in this 25-hour expansion pack for Baldur’s Gate: Enhanced Edition.

D&D Out of the Abyss Notes #36

Leave a reply

This episode: The Rockblight in Blingdenstone continues with the finer points of a medusa’s petrifying gaze. Did Clash of the Titans get it wrong? Greater Restoration ain’t cheap. Tell your DM your marching order! Black puddings… rock?

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.
