4th Session

It was a short session tonight. Since the party isn't strong (or large) enough to go hexcrawling yet I had the adventure come to them. The old dwarven lady who acts as the wise woman for the town offered to hire them to reclaim the old copper mine that used to be the whole reason the town exists, while at the same time the head of the town council offered a lot of money for them to go into the town's abandoned keep and see what the hell is up with it.

The last group that went in there came back blinded and afraid of snakes. The chose the keep because it was closer. They cleared 5 rooms and while exploring the place they found some homebrew monsters; these pink mushrooms that shoot confusing spores. When they entered the keep's hospital they met a rogue modron (stats as a dwarf) who has been maintaining the place. He's a former monodrone only recently been cut off from the hive mind so he's still very robotic in his speech. He was a maintenance drone and is now maintaining the old keep, keeping it clean and in good shape. However, he avoids the monsters. He even warned the party against the prisoners (zombies) in the dungeon. Then he used is ring of pass-wall to pass through the wall and carry on his duties.

I love his name but I can't give it yet because at least one of my players reads this blog. The cleric fell in love with the little guy and wants to recruit him as a retainer. 

The zombie fight was simple enough. Due to the cleric and elf having good armor the zombies didn't score a single hit.

Also the dice were really rude to the thief today. He was missing against immobile fungus monsters with an ac of 5 (base 10 ascending).

We had a lot of fun, and I look forward to next time.

New Campaign

It's been quite some time since I've played BX with anyone but randies off of /tg/ or roll20. None of the players in my usual group have experience with BX and a few of them have bad impressions of the old school D&D in general. One even has an irrational hatred of descending AC. So this is gonna be a hard sell, but since we're using OSE for reh rules references and roll20 it should be easier. I'm super-glad that I get to introduce my usual group to classic D&D. Here's hoping I do a good job introducing them. Wish me luck!

Second Session

 It had been a month since the last session because one of my players got into a fight with a surgeon and won, but was down for the count for weeks and with such a small tightly knit group we decided to wait for her to get back to play.  On tonight's session the followed through with their ambush on the goblins and kobolds as they tried to use the cover of night to flee, then afterwards built some rapport with the townsfolks, meeting some NPCs. The ambush was really good, Crispin the magic-user used his sleep spell to take out most of the hobgoblin's personal guard. The elf, thief and cleric used missile weapons to pick off the goblins carrying the chest, then the hobgoblin rushed the cleric who whacked him right good in the had knocking him from full to 1 hp in a single hit. I had him check morale right away and he decided to run for it cursing in goblin "fuck this, its not worth it". The treasure was nice. All of the coin and gems they'd stolen over the last cou...

If you're wondering....

 The radio silence lately is because I'm not running a game, prepping a game, or (sadly) in a game as a player right now. I've had a few false starts trying to join games, mostly OSR or (natch) 5E, but all of them have either fizzled after a session or two or just never got out of the DM going "we'll be playing soon!" anyway, I have been doing a thing tho https://dungeonpunk.fandom.com/wiki/DungeonPunk_Wiki My homebrew system has its own wiki now For someone who loves classic D&D, the system I made is not classic D&D. It's a strange middle ground and I love it. Please take a look.
