Sunday Game Cancelled
This does not happen to often but it does, canceled games get cancelled.
This Sunday's session will be moved due to an illness.
Life sucks once in awhile but you move on and deal with problems as they arise.
Currently the group is level 7 and in the middle of a giant dam that a group of Ogres where trying to destroy.
The next session the party will dive deeper into the skull crossing dam and try to find out what was going on within it.
The session will begin first with the remaining rangers from fort Rannick taking on the rescue of villagers from Turtleback Ferry, should not take longer then two hours of real time.
Need to set up more sons of Dank Vapour backstory.

StarFinder
Began reading the rulebook, once again and listening to Androids and Aliens podcast from the glass cannon network.
I do miss listening to podcasts at work. Now I can no longer listen while I work due to a position change three years ago. I do have to say I miss that element.
I think to much and have been doing so with my current campaign ending on 36 sessions, what to play next?
I have to say, I would prefer to play starfinder to pathfinder 1e. Pathfinder 2e would make me reconsider starfinder?
I need a little more crunch in my games then D&D 5e allows and I do get tired of house ruling, rules in my game that are well pathfinder versions.
I do enjoy the easy of D&D 5e to pathfinder 1e, and starfinder seems to be a go between for pathfinder 1e and D&D 5e rules wise.
Time will tell what I do next but by the time this happens Pathfinder 2e will be out almost a year and starfinder, I'm sure will have a second book of classes to add to the core rulebook, I currently have all the books and pawns for that game the is released.

Session 15 in Rise of the Runelords in 5e
The road to Turtleback Ferry from Magnimar would take close to 2 weeks to complete, once they raided the Mayors personnel warehouse, some equipment and a little magic was obtained they geared up were met by Shalelu Andosana, Female Elf, Rogue/Ranger, the parties scout was a formidable in all aspects.
She explained the journey a head and help make sure they are prepared for all the issue to come in the wilds.
45 years ago The Order of the Black Arrows have been charged with keeping the lands around Turtleback Ferry safe from, mainly the Kreegs a group of Ogres that have been slaughtering humankind for over a hundred years in that area.
On the way in Ilsurian, a skirmish between a tribe of Orcs known as the Bloody Skulls and the local militia had ended with a defense tower lost to the Orcs and they were looking for adventures to clear it out as the militia was to bust keeping the rest of the tribe at bay. Charles wanted to attack the Orcs as this was his old tribe, the bloody skulls had dome many things to him and his mother, but the past was pushed away for the greater good of the original quest. He walked away with all the old thoughts swimming in his head of what had transpired so many years ago.
Upon crossing one of two rivers that meet at claybottom lake sits Turtleback Ferry, they crossed the river by paying the toll from a ferry crossing, not any boat will do but a upside down gigantic turtle shell, hence the villages name, Turtleback Ferry.
Tamar immediatelywent to the local tempel to introduce himself, Ulgar accompanied him as well.
There they met Maelin Shreed, mayor and Cleric of Erastil, with friendly greetings they got information about the fort,village and surrounding area.
Toucan and Charles went straight to the Bottoms up the local tavern to worship Cayden Cailean and find out as much as they can about the Sihedron Runes, fort, village and what ever else they can turn up.
In time they find out that many of the locals have Runes tattooed on ankles,the shoulder or the small of the back and through interrogation of one local find out that it was a mark that would give you a discount if shown at the local casino. Unfortunately this casino, Paradise, is now at the bottom of the clay bottom lake, sunk weeks ago.
The people had no idea how sinister this mark real was.
Getting what they thought they needed for the next part of the journey together, the group set out for Fort Rannick on Lamashan (October) 1st, time to see what had happened to the Fort.
Shalelu was dressed and ready before dawn to guide the group to the fort after asking locals how to get to the fort.
After crossing skull river miles from town yowls of pain in the near by woods sends the group investigating the sounds, soon after the sounds intensify to sounds of combat, they emerge from a clearing to see a cougar, a fire pelt cougar to e exact fighting a hound, the cat is trapped in bear trap.
Across from them baying of many hounds and someone signing a children song that sounds made up, the group decides to help the cat after Ulfgar the groups druid senses that it is a pet of someones, the first of many hounds are killed.
From across the clearing a Ogre bursts from the woods surrounded by 9 or 10 hounds as he release the hounds he gives the attack command and begins roaring at the group
" I's huntin' kitty cat! No concern o'you's less you's wanna be hunted too!"
Rukus and his hounds engage the group,
The fight is bloody and short with little problems for the players as they mop up this Ogre and the dogs.
After freeing and healing the cougar, she tugs on Ulfgars cloak to follower her, a brief ritual late and Charles communicates with her finding out her name is Kibb and her master has been captured by Ogre-kin and locked up with other friends.
The party moves towards the farmstead. The farm is over grown and in bad need of repairs everything including crops is suffering from neglect.
A enormousness Ogre and a smaller friend ambush the group pn the road to the homestead.
They move towards the home on the farm entering it slowly but are immediately set upon by a few traps, going through the house room by room fighting half-oger kin, they were doing well till a sorceress, mama as the others called her.
This obese women and her zombies began killing the party one by one, if they did not flee they would have all died, 2 party members did in fact die.
running back to the road to Turtleback Ferry they ran with Toucan and Shalelu dead.
They only had enough diamonds to revivify one, so Toucan the half Tengu half Aarakocra was brought back from the dead.
Intense negotiation with the Maelin Shreed the mayor and priest of Erastil secured more diamonds to be used on Shalelu, she was back among the living again, time to make Mama pay for crimes against the party!

What is my favorite class in D&D 5e?
What is my favorite class in D&D 5e?
That is easy, it has to have religious applications. My first two choices are cleric or paladin, I could play other classes that have a strict religious code or conduct but I would fantasize about a world where gods are real and people would be zealots in faith towards said gods.
Imagine are real world that a priest of what ever religion you currently follow or know about would grant magical powers to you if you followed their code/conduct.
Remarkable.
My old campaign was going to end with the players banished to a far realm, it was going to be Earth 1972 and with it, it would herald a new age. I would have combined the 5e rules with modern age of 1985.
Gods would be real, once that campaign ended I was going to do a second campaign of only 18 months of evil characters and do the exact same ending.
Still on my radar, hopefully one day?
