yesterday, my party finished book 3 of 4 of #SeasonOfGhosts ^^
we're now 36 sessions in and everyone is having a blast ^^
still got like half a year to play in this bi-weekly game and i'm excited ^^
so far, combat hasn't been too rough on them, due to my bad dice luck, but perhaps one day that'll change and i'll actually get to scare them for once, as a treat 😇
Ardrigail Campaign Journal
The party had boarded and taken a small ship from the big bad’s henchmen, but found it in pretty rough shape. Today’s session was about repairing the damage. I grabbed repair tasks from whatever websites and small adventure I could get my hands on and tried to cobble them together into something coherent, and then I planned my little trick: There was no sealant on board to waterproof the repairs with.
[...]#CampaignDiary, kinda?
just finished running session 30 in my #SeasonOfGhosts campaign and it was amazing!
we finished book 2! we're halfway through and i'm super excited! (actually a bit more than halfway, cuz we did some book 3 stuff already xD)
once again, my players surprised me with all kinds of stuff, including using the Call Spirit ritual to talk to an important villain they killed weeks ago, to get more secrets from!
i ran the dungeon i prepped yesterday and it worked out really well!
turned one enemy into a more passive person on the spot. that ended up working really well as the party got to understand the complexities of the place better!
in the end, all players gave me positive feedback for the session ^^
glad to see that i'm still kinda good at this whole gm thing 😌
the boat game had its first session in the new setup!
the party met... at a library! xD
there was a tinkerer who accidentally awakened an ancient evil dragon robot. said robot rolled really bad on all attacks tho and got destroyed before it could land a single hit xD
now the party looks really competent and that'll have positive and negative consequences later ^^
also, a bird made a bet with a ship's captain and won the whole ship xD
we finished the campaign! 23 sessions, played out over 10.5 months!
it was a good and open ending! everyone still has some stuff to do, and perhaps we could revisit that at some point in the future ^^
i'm real happy now, because despite running ttrpgs since 2018 this is only the second campaign i actually got to finish!
excited to run more for these players at some point ^^
didn't get to run a game this week, but i'm setting up 2 additional bi-weekly games! one for wardens of wildwood and the other for abomination vaults ^^
gonna be good!
expect a lot more #CampaignDiary from me in the future!
#CampaignDiary saturday #AvatarLegends GM edition
we're back after 5 weeks!
sometimes you just gotta kidnap your own (arranged marriage) husband in order to talk to his evil (incredibly powerful) earthbender aunt. and then you gotta run away because the plan somewhat backfired xD
i love playing 5000 years in the past! when i revealed that the name of the aunt is Beifong it had the right reaction 😊
super excited for next week! boat trip to the fire isles, what can go wrong? 😎
#CampaignDiary saturday #AvatarLegends GM edition
my players keep surprising me in the best ways. they keep improvising new story elements into the game that i simply can't pass up! their plot is so much better than mine xD
by now my prep is just a few key points and the rest is improv
works wonderfully 😌
and they make new powers too!
could a skilled lightningbender access electromagnetism and kinda become a magnetic metalbender?
best idea, i couldn't say no!
excited for more!
#CampaignDiary #MotW one-shot player edition
played in a game that a friend made and it was very fun ^^
i played a nice old lady who was secretly a robin hood-esque crooked burglar. the other players were a 500y/o vampire and a magic teen! very fun crew ^^
in session we had very obvious signs of werewolf attacks, but were unsure if it was a red herring until we actually saw a lady turn into one!
defeated her non-lethally and ended the session promising to help her with the curse 💚
