  • Age of Ashes – The Cast

    Characters are created, and the adventure has begun. The overall mix of options has been interesting – my initial concern was a bit of repetition the character process, but all characters are unique and different. Additional adventures may have challenges, but for now, there are more than enough choices. I will provide more detail, once…

  • Ages of Ashes has begun

    Our first session of Age of Ashes for Pathfinder second edition started on Sunday, and was a mixed success. The game itself was good – everyone seems to have adapted to the new rules and mechanics fairly well, and the story thus far has everyone engaged. The challenge was mainly with my juggling of the…

  • Fantasy Grounds

    As part of our upcoming Age of Ashes campaign, we are going to try to add some virtual tabletop options, specifically the Fantasy Grounds tool. For those players with a laptop available, I will be asking them to install the client version, to be able to (hopefully) connect reliably to a GM session on my…

  • Pathfinder Season 3

    The books are in hand, the characters are (mostly) completed, and we are just about ready to launch our 3rd major campaign with the Age of Ashes, using the new Pathfinder version 2. This Sunday will be our first game, though it will likely be a short session since we still have a couple of…

  • Gencon 2019

    Another Gencon is done, and our group managed to survive without casualties. Only major challenge was the loss of my credit card after the first night, which fortunately was only missing, and not stolen. Caused a bit of a disruption, but we were able to adapt. Unfortunately, what I was interested in sold rather quickly.…

  • Camping supplies

    Been working with the 3d printer and creating some scatter terrain for the upcoming campaign (and general RPGs). One thing I have always been lacking is a set of camp pieces to represent the group whenever they are ambushed or attacked (or attack someone else) at night. To this end, I located a set of…

  • Kingmaker campaign finale

    This last Sunday, we wrapped up Chapter 1 of the Kingmaker campaign, and brought to close the storyline. With our group, it was rather successful as a story, although we glossed over a bit of the ending to make it to the final battle – basically the group jumped ahead to the assault on the…

  • Gencon 2019

    Gencon 2019 convention is starting tomorrow, and for the first time, my son and I are attending the entire 4 day event. In previous years, we have gone on the Sunday Family Day, but last year there was simply no way to see and experience everything. With some planning since December, we decided to do…
