DM Chronicles 17: This is the end, Fiend

May 11, 2008 by The Chatty DM

It’s done, our D&D campaign is over and so is my playing D&D 3.5. Sigh*… The game went exceedingly well, better than I had hoped.The players were clever enough to navigate the minefield that was a hall full of Demon Lord avatars and ambassadors and live! It went so well that we actually managed to […]

DM Chronicles 16: Are we there yet?

April 30, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Having been playfully accused of doing some heavy comment baiting this week, here’s a more mundane campaign log! ๐Ÿ™‚ The RPG season is winding down. Like some of my blogging buddies, we’re slowly getting ready to call it quits and it shows in our games. Still we managed to have a good time last Friday. […]

DM Chronicles 15: Weathering the Apocalyspe with your Poker Buddies

April 13, 2008 by The Chatty DM

In the game session 2 weeks ago, I concluded the party’s foray in the Demonwebs layer of the Abyss with the wretching of Ptolus (the campaign’s home base) out of the material world and plopping it up in another layer of the Abyss ruled by the Demon Prince Gratzz. Last Friday’s game wasn’t stellar nor […]

DM Chronicles, Session 14: You Wanted Planescape? You Got It!

April 1, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This is part of a long running series that chronicles my current D&D campaign set in an adapted version of Ptolus. Oh yeah… I’m not actually quitting.. While it is a lot of work, I’m still having fun here. Last game I played a rather badly designed plot exposition scene that left our enjoyment of […]

DM Chronicles, Session 13: Of Moons and Xanathos Railroads, Part 2

March 20, 2008 by The Chatty DM

See part 1 here. After the fight and Eric’s Bare-assed performance we moved on the evening’s 3rd scene. Now I won’t get into details of the scene, because there’s no way I could describe it without spending hundreds of words in backstory. Let’s just say that this time I really managed to surpass my tendency […]

DM Chronicles, Session 13: Of Moons and Xanathos Railroads, Part 1

March 18, 2008 by The Chatty DM

This post is part of a series that chronicles our current D&D 3.5 campaign. To say that last Friday’s game wasn’t intense would be a bald faced lie… it just wasn’t intense for the reasons I planned for. This time around I won’t go into details of our actual story. First because it get so […]

DM Chronicles, Session 12: The Great Game! Part 2

March 5, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Life goes on… See part 1 here. So when I left off in part 1, Nogard had been accosted in his Dragon Temple by Plantagonox, the Juvenile Bronze Dragon errand boy of House Dallimothan (i.e. The Dragon-friendly Noble House of Ptolus). When ‘Gonox asked Nogard if he know about Xorvindaal, Nogard responded that he did […]

DM Chronicles, Session 12: The Great Game! Part 1

March 3, 2008 by The Chatty DM

I guess I had to complain about attendance in order to get a full house last Friday as everyone showed up! Yay! Franky and Stef showed up first and I got to clean the floor with them in a few Magic game with my rebel and Elf decks. Then Yan showed up and we teamed […]

DM Chronicles: The legend of the Broken Dice, Session 2, Part 2

February 20, 2008 by The Chatty DM

See part 1 here. Before getting into the actual dungeon crawl, as pointed out by Yan in the comments yesterday, I realized that PM was the only PC moving at a speed of 4 squares (20′). He was wearing Scale Mail, which has the same AC bonus as a Chain Shirt, only cheaper and bulkier. […]

DM Chronicles: The legend of the Broken Dice, Session 2, Part 1

February 19, 2008 by The Chatty DM

Way back in October, I played a one shot adventure using Paizo’s Pathfinder #1, Burnt Offering. I wrote the session’s log here. We reconvened last Sunday for another session in a day long geekfest of Dim Sum, Anime and D&D. So on Sunday Morning we arrived at PM’s palace of Cats (he has 2) in […]
