In the Bloody Bunch campaign which is soon wrapping up (they’re at 19th-level now), Tella is probably the best–and most interesting–of all the NPCs the characters travel with. Originally the doppelganger servant of Nezznar (yes, the one from Phandelver), Tella has mostly turned good over the years. Now, she aims to take down the villainous […]
These monsters recently appeared in a Bloody Bunch adventure (my Saturday campaign). Kruthik Horde Kruthiks are chitin-covered reptiles that hunt in packs and nest in sprawling subterranean warrens. Githyanki Unit The bellicose githyanki terrorize the Astral Plane, raiding into other worlds to plunder the multiverse of its magic and riches. Gith that train together form […]
My Saturday group is about to head (again) into Limbo. There, they will come across all manner of chaos. So I’m not rewriting the entirety of the 2nd Edition Planes of Chaos supplement, I’ve included the major notes on how the plane works. For more details on how Limbo works, its inhabitants and major locations, […]
Just last week, I wrote up a massive, 48-page (11,000 words) document on the Gatetown of Torch in the Outlands. My Saturday group, the Bloody Bunch, is currently “having a ball” in this wretched town, searching for a mysterious item known as the Soulbox. Supposedly, the Soulbox contains the mental facilities of the long-dead beholder […]
Currently, my players are in the town of Torch in the Outlands of the Forgotten Realms’ Great Wheel Cosmology. Next session, I plan on running them through the town and thought I might flesh it out a bit more. In this article: I’ll look at all the information that’s come before for Torch. This includes […]
Welcome back to another recap of the Bloody Bunch. Exciting one this week as the Bloody Bunch discovered a purple worm nest, fought some mind flayers, and finally came face-to-face with the BBEG, Vahrek. Also, Clint (Vaston’s player) recorded the entire session. I should have the recording available soon. Dramatis Personae Here are the most […]
Warning: this post contains spoilers for the Saturday Bloody Bunch campaign. If you are invested in the story as a player, I recommend you don’t read beyond this point. You’ve been warned. “Mother, can you hear me? It’s your greatest son, Nezznar. I am here, mother. I am warmed by your embrace. You dance in […]
If you’re a member of the Bloody Bunch, you probably shouldn’t read this. You’ve been warned. One of the main villains of the Bloody Bunch campaign is a doppelgänger named Vahrek who has assumed the identity of a long-dead drow slave named Nezznar. To some, he’s known as Nezznar Prime. None who respect him would […]
So tonight is a big showdown between the characters and an adventurer-hunter named Umgru the Slayer. The characters are all 9th-level, which means they can handle most challenges I throw at them. But tonight I want to change things up a bit. I want to hit them with some of the toughest things that they’ve […]
I’ve been running the same campaign since March 17, 2018. And while I’ve seen a few folks go, the core group has stayed strong. I’m happy to say that I’ve had the same 5 players now for about 4 months. And that doesn’t look to change any time soon. But who are these poor souls […]
