The View From Drew

 So, we gathered online last night and not only was it the first time playing in some time, it was also the first time the whole gang played together in some time.  Skype was a little futzy, but I think that had to do with both myself and themadadmin  being on wireless connections.  There weren't that many encounters, one in fact, but it proved difficult as the party was already injured.  Five giant ants and four aspis drones from the Slave Lords series made them retreat back to a nearby town.  I'm moving the plot along by drugging them and having them wake up in the Slave Lords' dungeons where they'll have to fight their way out.

I hit highs and lows when it comes to my enthusiasm with the campaign.  Moving this along has got me motivated again. 

 So, the past two nights have been fun with Skype.

Thursday night was spent with my D&D campaign, sending them off on a new adventure.  It's actually not a new adventure; in fact, it's quite old, but they don't realize it yet as they kind of stumbled into it.  It was fun though and I'm looking forward to playing in two weeks time.

Last night was another recording of The Chronic Rift.  We played Match Game with two of our listeners and I think we managed to live up to the old show and then some.  You can determine it for yourself by listening to the episode when we release it this Monday.

Sue will be glad to see me tonight as I've been hooked into a headset for the last two nights.  ;)

It was one year ago today that four adventurers became embroiled in the affairs of the citizens of Caldor Major in the realm_of_correu .  We played our 19th session last night which saw the death of O'Van Hauk as he was consumed by a Bag of Devouring after the party battled and nearly lost to a vampire.  It's been a lot of fun and I'm looking forward to another year as the players move to new levels and the inhabitants of the realm must unite to battle for their survival. 

We played tonight, the first time in quite a while.  I was worried that perhaps this was losing steam, but tonight's session put those fears on the back burner.  The group had to help a village of people who worshiped Silvanus, the god of the druid in the party.  The village was being subjugated by lizard men who were trying to capture a little boy who is destined to be the druid king.  They need to get the boy away from danger, but at the same time take out a nest of the lizards who appear to worship a dragon beneath their cave system.

The game ended with the characters chasing after the noble ranger who decided to just follow after the lizard men's high priest after he had fallen through a trap door that appeared to have a fifty foot drop.  No ropes, no ladders, nothing.  He just jumped after him and all but popfiend , playing a thief, followed after him.

I'll be posting the full details in the realm_of_correu  shortly.  I'm really looking forward to two weeks time.

Played D&D for the first time in well over a month.  Staying up late has been difficult for me since I had the virus.  I finally have my mojo back and just in time as I did my ripoff Primeval adventure with the crew of the realm_of_correu .  I've trapped them in the prehistoric past at the moment where magic and gods do not exist.  They have one of their crew down and they need to find another portal to make their way home.  The thing is, the whole reason for this is all Eddie's fault from his actions in his D&D game, which they will get the details about in the next session.

Much fun.

The characters are basically trapped in their own version of Night of the Living Dead.  Fortunately, they have a cleric with them who is able to curb some of the attacks by turning the zombies.  But a fog has rolled in and it looks like night is falling.


He.  He.  He.   He.

The first half of Eddie's first successful adventure as Elfie the Elf, Version 2.0, is now available for your perusal at realm_of_correu.
