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'.
So jealous of Jeff, he gets to game.
ReplyDeleteWhere in Indiana do you live?
ReplyDeleteCome join us...
Yeah, seriously. The invite's always open. Come down to our con in February and I'll hook you up with some Encounter Critical.
ReplyDeleteAbsolutely! Winter War is a small con, but it's always fun.
ReplyDeleteWinter War, huh? Where? When?

ReplyDeleteWhen 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.
"you're attended"?! I gotta type slow enough for my brain to keep up.
ReplyDeleteBloomington isn't that far. I've driven there and back over a weekend.
ReplyDeleteWinter War? Great--I have GOT to get judges forms out THIS week.
ReplyDeleteJeff: You probably already know about this one, but checkout http://www.knights-n-knaves.com/osric for an interesting take on OGL Fantasy.
