Our latest session of Pathfinder found the group facing off with the old traditional staple of fighting themselves with mirror doppelgangers. Having wrapped up the Iron Cages of Lust, they opted to stay focused on the mission, and after a rest to recover and heal, they moved on to the Shimmering Veils of Pride. As they moved down the entrance hallway, the walls became progressively more mirrored, until the walls, floor, and ceiling was one reflective surface. As the group rounded a corner, they encountered a pair of identical parties (to their left and right), which emerged from the mirrors…

As I posted previously, I spent the last week at summer camp with my older son, George, at Boy Scout summer camp. Not being overly physical myself, this tends to take a lot out of me, especially with the hot days. Most of the week averaged in the 90s, with high humidity, although late in the week it cooled off nicely and was very comfortable. The late nights, early mornings, and constant hiking however wears you out either way. By the end of the week, George had advanced nicely, he is now only one remaining requirement away from Life Scout,…

Continuing our Pathfinder campaign this weekend, and hopefully making some progress after wrapping up the Runeforge Halls of Lust section. The group has to at least tackle the Halls of Pride section, to obtain the mystical items they need, plus they need to figure out how to combine the pieces into the magical items they eventually need to face Karzoug. Plus, at some point, they will need to sort out how to get out of Runeforge, and return to their plane of existence. In theory, we might be done with this chapter during this session, but more likely it will…

Enjoying some time away from work and the computer this week, at Boy Scout Summer Camp with my son. As a result, my posts this week will be relevant, but not necessarily timely, since I scheduled them last weekend. At this point, I am likely tired, dirty, and sore, but having a lot of fun with my son doing Merit Badges and other activities. My wife has sent a large supply of cookies, intended to be a week’s supply for the crew of 30 scouts and parents, but those may be gone at this point. I have also brought along…

Victor Ivanov was recruited into the Soviet military services at an early age, and trained to fight and kill in service of the corporations. Eventually, beaten, broken, and a bit unbalanced, he was discarded as “waste”, sent on a desperate mission which resulted in the death of his companions. As the only survivor, thanks to a faulty cranial bomb, he is on the run now from the old corporation, due to the information and background that he has. Victor uses the street name of “Angel”, and serves the downtrodden and forgotten of Seattle as a street doc and medic. His…

Norsca is our Troll “meat-shield” character, for our new/upcoming Shadowrun campaign. He is designed to be a melee brawler and main target, thus his general role as shield. Typically, such a character would be termed a street-samurai, but that implies far more skill, style, and training than Norsca actually has. Instead, the troll prefers very straightforward muscle and brawn attacks, swinging a sledgehammer in most combats. He has some basic training in explosives, and carries a pistol just in case. A couple of basic cybernetics round out his overall package, making him able to better find targets, and absorb damage…

Our Shadowrun campaign started off a bit rough on Friday. As expected, we of course had a number of technical issues, but we also had several unavailable players, and unfinished characters. The intent to stream worked well enough, though it had it own problems as well. The biggest issue we ran into seemed to be more on my side – the audio just wasn’t very clear. As we added more players, the group video call on Discord progressively worsened, to the point that it was a lot of static and noise, but still (barely) able to understand the players. I…

Today starts our Shadowrun campaign, for which my intent is to stream live thru YouTube Live. If you are interested, I invite you to connect, and if entertained, click the subscribe and/or notify buttons. This being our first session, I expect there will be technical difficulties, and most of the session will likely be explaining the game, explaining the software and tools, and generally finishing up characters. I do have the first mini-adventure ready to go, and most of the first main adventure, so if we actually play, I am prepared. Schedule is for tonight, 7 PM to 10 PM…
