Preparations for the Weekend

As we all prepare for this Sunday's adventure, there are a few things that I want you all to keep in mind:

• Think about your "wish list" in terms of items that you want to buy for the good of the party and items that you want to buy for yourself. You have quite a bit of money to spend.
• Be thinking about taking some time to update your character's background and history. Your characters have been through quite a bit thus far and it may alter how you decide to role play your character in sessions.
• I challenge you all (myself included) to role play more with your character. I think it will add an extra dimension to our gaming.

I working on fleshing out my characters for the Deathmaster and more Lac. I think you will notice a difference. Sunday's adventure should be fun and interesting. There shouldn't be as much fighting, but we'll see.

Lac's Musings: April 6, 2008 Adventure

The party continued to makes its way back to their fledgling town built around the recently rescued Pholtus temple. As they made their way closer, they noticed smoke...and that meant fire. As they got closer, they noticed undead creatures around the area: ghouls and shadows. The party made quick work of the undead utilizing and excellent mix of spellcraft and arms. The party noticed that the only survivors are a few peasants.

Torgrim agreed to stay behind and help rebuild the city. The party would send back replacement craftsmen as well as mercenaries to help fortify their stronghold. One day this small village will grow into a large city!

With rebuilding in progress, the party continued its way to Wintershiven. Along the way they encountered a group of cyclopskin and again they did not prove to be too much of a problem for the party. Indeed, they are truly growing in power and abilities. It will interesting to see what they can tackle next.

Finally reaching Wintershiven, the party settled into the city and traded in gems, jewelry and other items. They were last pooling their resources to look for ways to improve and strengthen the party.

Out of Character Notes:

• It is great to have John join us. He has brought Dendo back to life! We hope he will be able to join us for more adventures.
• Due to various circumstances, we have been down a few adventurers for the last few weeks. I hoping that we can add a few folks to swell our numbers a little bit.
  

Game On!

Unfortunately, we did not have the numbers to game on March 30. We only had three people. :( I am hopeful that for this coming Sunday we can get that number up. If you know anyone who might be interested, please let me know. Ryan, I know you have someone who might be interested.

I think this campaign could get really interesting with what I have in store for you. But to make it interesting, we need more folks to be there. Remember, we meet in the basement of Webster Hall at 1:00 PM this Sunday. I really hope to see you there!

March 30, 2008 Update

I wanted to let you know that the status for our March 30, 2008 session is up in the air. I failed to remember that Christa will be returning from her trip to Belize on the 30th. I will be picking her up from the airport that day, but I am not sure when they are getting in.

If we do game, I may need to modify the time...I will keep you posted. Stay tuned!

Lac's Musings: March 16, 2008

This post actually covers the last few sessions, but should keep everyone up to date. Since the DM honestly did not remember where the party ended in the Seer's Dungeon from last year, he thought it best to start over. Over the course of three adventures, the party did manage to traverse the majority of the dungeon. As a few highlights as the party went through for the second time:

• Zant was lit on fire from oil from above.
• Torgrim was turned into a barbarian balloon...thanks to a hold person spell and a levitate spell.
• Torgrim was touched by a crypt things and teleported to another portion of the dungeon. Later found with doppleganger.
• The paladin actually hits stuff now.
• Trego joined the party...you seem trustworthy!
  

After completing the dungeon and finding the seer, Abellius did translate the scroll that the party received from the council. It speaks of a crown, a scepter and a orb. They are located in the Cairn Hills, the Lordship of the Isles and Iuz. It should be three very interesting quests. The party decided to make its way back to their headquarters and see how things were going there.

On the trip pack, they were ambushed by four trolls. It was a tough battle with downed party members of both sides. The party of Pholtus was victorious and when we being next time, they will continue their journey back to the headquarters.

Please post any other highlights from the adventures thus far...I certainly don't remember them all.

We're Back!

Fellow Dorks,

This Sunday, February 17, 2008 at 1:00 PM in the Webster Basement will mark the rekindling of our AD&D campaign from last spring. When you enter the main entrance doors take the stairs in front of you to the basement. When you enter the basement, turn left. Follow the hallway to the end...you'll find me there. I'd like to begin on time at 1:00 PM. Bring snacks and beverages for yourself and more if you'd like to share.

I am hopeful that you will all be able to make it. We did lose at least one person, so if you know of someone who might me interested in playing, please let me know.


We will being our session with a review of the rules as well as a recap of the campaign up to where we left off. After the session, I would also like to look at the spring semester and finalize all gaming dates for the spring. Bring your calendar!

If you have any questions, let me know. Look forward to seeing you all!

Done For the Semester...the Future?

It is difficult for me to write this, but this past Sunday will be out last gaming session for the spring semester. Many members of the group will need to be at the Pre-Awards ceremony this Sunday which is right in the middle of our session. Next Sunday is the Nelson/Breese/Clemans Picnic, which your Dungeon Master needs to be at. Then, the semester is over and we go home for the summer. But, there are two ideas that I would like to throw out to the group:

Summer Gaming
Several of you have thrown out the idea of gaming a few times over the summer. Perhaps we might be able to put one session together a month that is larger than usual. Something in the area of 8-10 hours.

Fall Gaming
I realize that Packer and Badger games will make the fall weekends a little more complicated, but I was hoping to keep this going at least every other week during the fall semester.

Let me know what you think about each of these options and I'll see what I can work out.
