Time to Ragnarock

Last night we started the Greypocalypse Arc of my campaign. Fimbulwinter has come to the Flanaess and frost giant vikings roam the land. The players totally beat the crap out of my giants. Their 21st level gestalt PCs pretty much slapped them around as if these guys were just another pile of 1 hit die orcs. Then the blizzard came, and with it the five Old Feral White Dragons. "Feral" is an old template from Mike Mearls's Monster's Handbook for 3E. It basically shuts off a dragon's more fiddly spell power and ramps up the killing machinery. 3.x dragons as written drive me nuts. Too many crunchy bits to manage. At the end of the session I put my Galactus action figure on the board, to stand in for this guy. Once the heroes put down the Glacier That Walks Like A Man then we can get to the meat of Ragnarok: god-killin'.

  7. Also: Winter War website.

    When coeli says its a small con, she ain't kidding. Attendance is like 300 people. It gives the con a very homey feel, like you're attended the Game Nerd Family Reunion.

    Winter War? Great--I have GOT to get judges forms out THIS week.

    Jeff: You probably already know about this one, but checkout http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/osric for an interesting take on OGL Fantasy.
