Chapter art for Level 11 Troglodyte Warrens I recently ran Level 11, "Troglodyte Warrens", from Dungeon of the Mad Mage for Variant Roles. You can watch the first of the two sessions below (I will add in the second when it's posted). Spoilers follow, obviously, at least for that level of DotMM. https://youtu.be/8XA2JN8DunM?t=673 In this … Continue reading Using DW style prep in D&D
As a session, this mostly consisted of connective tissue. Were this campaign a trilogy, we would have just concluded Act II and enjoyed a relatively low-intensity segue before starting Act III in the next session. Narrative As the party had just eliminated an Elder Evil cult, they went back to the clock tower where their … Continue reading Krevborna – Session 12 review

I know this follows my previous write-up a bit … Continue reading Krevborna – Session 9 review
I'm falling behind on these! This session took place on 23 January, and here it is the following Friday that I'm writing it up. But I find the review posts useful in organizing my thinking and, occasionally, for the players when they don't take notes... Narrative At the conclusion of the previous session, three of … Continue reading Krevborna – Session 8 review
I freed myself from one technical entanglement (Twitch) only to run into another one (Discord via hotel wi-fi).

Narrative At the conclusion of the prior session, the Fighter and the Paladin intended to … Continue reading Krevborna – Session 7 review
