Note from Adam: The following post was written by Connor, who’s running what I called “Acid-Trip D&D.” He asked if he could post an after-action report of the game on my blog, and I said sure, why the hell not. Everything after this note was written by him. Session 01 Friday, June 24-2011 Session name: […] Read more
First draft of Gutterpunk combat rules. Since a lot of the stats and whatnot are based on this, I figured I’d do it first. Still not entirely sure how I’ll handle actually figuring out if you hit someone or not–I’m going to either have one d20 roll against a static AC or a roll for […] Read more
SCP Game (GMing) Konrad packing caviar and crackers (and not much else, really) in watertight containers to feed himself and Lord Howser in the jungles while they were searching for a crashed airship actually may have saved the lives of the entire party, though not in the way you might expect. Even if it’s just […] Read more
Before I get into the meat of this post, there’s a couple things I need to say first. 1) I’ve updated my SCP Game Report with the rest of it. It’s not much, admittedly, but I don’t recall the exact conversations that took place so I decided to just skim over them. I didn’t have […] Read more
I had planned for my next post to be a continuation of the play report for the first SCP game. But I just spent an hour and a half talking about D&D over Skype–an epic conversation that ended only when both me and the guy on the other end of the line realized “Shit, it’s […] Read more
Mission 01 Society Retrieval Cell 6 Subject of Adventure: [REDACTED] Players: Bov as Lord Howser; Colin as Howser’s manservant, Konrad; Nathan as Magnus the Axman; Dorf as Rudiger the bounty hunter; and Jake as the fanatically religious Blacksteve. The briefing was simple. Everyone knew, generally at least, why they were there. The man called Anders […] Read more
Things I learned about the SCP campaign world while playing in it earlier tonight, that I did not know before playing: There is a place (name hasn’t quite been pinned down yet) where lives a people who everyone is racist against. Wherever that place is, Jake’s character is from there. The player characters’ party is […] Read more
We’ve decided what we’re playing over the summer. Dorf is running a Spirit of the Century game that we started last night–and might I say, that system is damn awesome. We have a master-of-disguise art thief, a ninja, an ex-Bolshevik ex-soldier Russian, and a scientist with a jetpack and a tommygun working together in the […] Read more
“We need to play an RPG or something over the summer,” I said. “Shadowrun,” Dorf said, without hesitating. So I’ll be running some Shadowrun over the summer. Which is going to be interesting, because I’ve only ever run D&D before. I don’t know how to run a decent sci-fi campaign. I don’t even know where […] Read more
More memorable quotes from my D&D game, courtesy of a few people who reminded me of some I’d forgotten: ________________________ Sh’vass: “Wait, guys, I got this–owlbear.” ________________________ Verrick: “Hold on a second, I need to feed the shoulder-fish.” ________________________ Dragoon: “Who’s in there?” Sh’vass: “Bill.” Dragoon: “…Who?” Sh’vass: “…Frank?” ________________________ Atlas: “So I’m hoping they […] Read more
