Sunday Gaming

Superbowl this Sunday!

I will not be watching, I will be play a pleasant game of D&D with a few Friends.
Session 5 of are 5e game of Rise of the Runelords campaign. 

Nick DM of Book one of Rise of the Runelords
Ryan- level 3 Drunk Master Monk
Adrien- level 3 Barbarian
Andrew- level 3 Necromancer Wizard
Adam- level 3 Nature Cleric
Chris- (Me) level 3 Bard & DM of book 2

We have entered Thistle top and had to retreat from the main gates as we took far to much damage from guards, we are also down a player as Andrew could not attend this session.

Need to black out the window for the projector to have a brighter picture. The image is bright enough in game play but want more.

This Sunday we will continue where we left off ready to find out who is behind the goblin uprising and who the long shanks are?

Prophecy card #Four

Meaning,
Giants will attack to overthrow the world, something Approaches.

Game Play,
The fabled cloud castle approaches, within are the mighty Titans armed with the ability to control dragons, the leaders have organized Giant kind lay waste to the realms, in the name of the new Giant gods and forsaken the old ones.

This was already happening as I did not place the Prophecy in order.  

Prophecy card # three

Meaning,
The gods will have a cataclysm brought on by destruction.



Game play,
In the end game of the campaign the group would have teleported to the moon after finding out that Cthulhu was going to destroy it to wreck havoc on Golarion.  
This is where the Warlock would betray the group or his god? the choice was his.

Prophecy card # two

Meaning,
The gods will leave for an undetermined time.
Game play,
The gods would have left the Forgotten Realms, leaving all in peril.
The gods of light and dark would have blamed the party for different issues (good and bad)
In the end they would have banished the party to Windsor (earth) and punished the group with godlyhood so they could see the burden of managing mortals.
This of course was the end of the campaign at 18th or 20th level.
The next campaign would be set in modern time with the old PC's as the gods.

Fresh on the chopping block

13th Age.

This is the newest book that I shall read, it is a hybrid between D&D 3rd (Pathfinder) and 4th edition.

Will I play it? mmmmm....? maybe?

I enjoy both Jonathan Tweet, Rob Heinsoo work but also I'm trying to get away from sword and sorcery,  that said I will pick up Castles & Crusades one day ;)

I do like the concept of Icons for the game as a story engine, but I can not say much until I finish reading it.
Started Fool Moon book 2 of the Dresden files as well. I will purchase the new Genesys RPG to try and retrofit this to a Dresden files rip of game.

Prophecy cards

Prophecy card number one

What it means.
One shall betray the group or/& a god shall die.
The gods will lash out on the group.

Game play, I was giving the Warlock dreams of betrayal and his dark lord. Which if he betrayed the group that was covered.
Secondly the Pathfinder giant gods were bleeding over into the Forgotten realms world in a bid to overtake that Pantheon.
Giant gods would cease to exist and the party was unknowingly releasing them and would be blamed.
I stole much from giantslayer AP books 1,2 and 3.

Change

With the Change of giving up Miniatures games it has left me with much free time and I will focus that towards RPGing more.
I have gone from gaming every 3 weeks to every other week and have now will take the time to purchase other RPG games to read and play.

So far Dungeon Crawl Classics has been read and played, we have now gone back to 5e after are short and devastating TPK. :)
Nick will be running book one of rise of the runelords converted to 5e and I will take the command helm with book 2. We should be starting book 2 in one or two sessions?

Fate Core and the toolkit books were purchased and will be read and the other systems I read over the holidays are Merp, Dungeon Fantasy (Gurps) & Harp. My current want is Genesys RPG to convert a game for The Dresden files. Once I read this and Fate I will decided which system to use for a Dresden files rip off game?
