Thane paused a moment from his work at the forge. Arden was approaching and Thane could see the young warrior was wearing his chain and greatsword strapped to his back. Thane knew every link of that armor, almost as much as his own. He had repaired the…

I continued my solo game I started during my vacation as a dungeon crawl game. I came to like the character and I want to explore the setting some more. So I didn’t return to the halls of Undermountain just yet but took a job as caravan guard. After some cinematic town action we are underway and I am looking forward to the next sessions.

On a sidenote: I really like Microlite20 and I think it will become my go to solo system. I have tried a fair share of systems but something about d20 just clicks with me. And Microlite20 for me strikes the perfect balance between rules light and crunchy, it is easily adaptable and expandable, so I will stick with it for now.

Also, I just love my all-rolled-up gaming roll. I can roll a small gridded vinyl map up with it and with the generic tokens and a wet erase marker I am able to run tactical encounters if I want.

Session 9 of my Undercity Labyrinth Lord solo game. The party begins its hex crawl. A short-ish session this time.

I’m playing a loose hack of The Black Hack with a sci-fi skin, set in a universe that a friend and I developed during a game of Microscope. (I’ll write up my oracle system in greater detail in another post, but it’s essentially a system of questions with YES/NO and BUT/AND attached to it.)

This was the second session of a short SF dungeon bash, where Appollyon Wave was sent as a Creed enforcer to a warehouse where the overseers have willingly let the site be compromised by somebody unknowingly influenced by the symbiotic Breath (a symbiosis the Creed turned its back on thousands of years ago).

– Previously, Appollyon had failed to sneak in, but had taken out two sentries after she’s failed to bluff her way past, though not before one of the sentries brought the (HD5!) autocannons online.

– This time, Appollyon managed to slowly creep her way into the guardhouse and took some time to turn off the autocannons, though she couldn’t permanently disable them. She did have a bit of time to catch her breath and also found a vibro-shield she could use.

– She took a bit of time making sure she had a defensible spot, but a troupe of three sentries approached from a vulnerable direction. Appollyon was unable to land any shots from her pulse-SMG, but similarly the sentries couldn’t land any shots on her, but when they managed to close in Appollyon fell under some particularly heavy blows from stiff truncheons.

– Appollyon woke up badly shackled in a simple cell, with none of her equipment and with a heavy ache across the whole of her body.

SESSION ENDS

The next installment of my Other Dust / Scarlet Heroes campaign is up. Ewa and her new friend meet the mysterious Coast Guardians, and are sent on a dangerous reconnaissance mission across the cliffs of Dover.

Keep on the Shadowfell Solo – Session 12

I returned to my Shadowfell solo game and again I survived a very close call. Actually I enjoy it more running only two characters solo. Everything else is too much bookkeeping for my taste as you know I prefer to run only one char. So far I have not adjusted the encounters but I probably need to going forward.

TDE Guildless – Session 2. My guildless mage meets with the captain in charge of the soldiers in Eldham until a surprising event upends things.
