Adventures

Intro I am looking into Mothership to play, either with friends if we manage to set a date to get together for this, or as some kind of solo game. it seems very non-mechanic, which is great to exercise our role-playing muscles, and the characters seem highly disposable (they are easy to create and the systems is not very forgiving). in order to try it a bit, first it is time to see how the creation process works, and the amount of variability we can get from that. Without further a do, let’s take a look at our crew. I could have created it via the Companion App, but it is always a pleasure rolling some dice, and it also gives me the chance to see how to structure that information in this kind of chronicles. ...

The Second Four go at it again some time later, in a nearby village… “well, that was a bit of a waste of time. sure, we now we have a bit more experience with this exploring thing, but we didn’t find any indication of where Pettic’s party could be, what happened to them and… well, there are no two ways about it, we got our asses handed to us by some magical beings, or invisible ones, whatever it was that happened there. we were very lucky by being immediately by the entrance, otherwise I doubt we would have survived without weapons or potions”, says Julienne [you can read more in the previous adventure ]. ...

The Second Four first, a look back after the previous adventure I got some time to think about what I learned (or could have learned). there are some rules that I definitely didn’t follow (and knew about, but decided to continue ignoring for consistency) both in the RAW (rule as written) and RAI (rule as intended) sense. at least as far as I know. one of those was using the Protect spell for save checks, and another was regarding considering a Boss as outnumbered to apply benefits to the rogue (Pettic). in the end it didn’t matter because the fight ended horribly, from a win/loss point of view (I was actually very pleased with the outcome). ...

The First Four intro I’ve been wanting to play some solo RPGs for a while now, and I’ve been doing it in some fashion by playing around with game books, fantasy based 1 player tabletop (or traytop) games, and some scripted solo adventures (like Obvious Mimic or Archmage Press 5e solo adventures). some of those plays are more thorough than others, while some are more paused, depending on the time I have. ...

an ongoing diminutive report of a tiny adventure in the world of *haven the past this Summer, as I was going to spend a couple of days in a Spanish village, I wanted to restart the campaign again (let’s call it Campaing #1). there is not much more to do and the game is easy to carry and set up. I was already playing in May 2024 (last year), but Scenario #5 became very challenging. also, a bunch of other things started happening, so it ended slipping my mind (well, mostly my schedule). ...

Langston This is my attempt to chronicle the adventures of Blovo during his brief time in Langston (“The wolves of Langston”), based on some notes taken at that time. this chronicle contains a combination of short notes with names, impressions and actions, as well as portions of a bit more elaborate retelling which I, as chronicler, put together trying to compose some sort of narrative. in time, everything might be rearranged in this last format, but for now some parts would appear as written by Blovo (his thoughts or what he said), while some might be written by me, the chronicler. ...

Blovo Allow me to introduce you to Blovo, and all that is known about his past. this is just part of the story, put together after some investigation and time spent talking to Blovo and the Ephenbald, his adopted human family, during my travels around the realms. the Ephenbald “Blovo” is a Hill Dwarf. he has been raised by a farming human couple (Krogg and Portclia Ephenbald), living quite far away from other towns or settlements. the couple lived in a long and narrow glen, a dead-end valley surrounded by tall mountains, about a 4 hour walk through hard terrain from the end of the valley. life was hard there and the weather extreme at times, but for some reason they decided to settle there and were usually left alone. they were not unfriendly but were mostly self-sufficient and didn’t visit the closest village (really just a sparse group of farmhouses) often, perhaps 4 times a year. the visits where mostly just Krogg meeting other farmers to barter and keep in touch. ...
