D&D: Adventures in Eberron - Heroes (We Could Be)

I waited until after my trip to Washington DC to do it, but I've joined another D&D group. This one meets every other Wednesday at The Gaming Warehouse in Grandville. That's the same place I was playing the Delta Green game and is in fact how I was exposed to this group. They run short sessions, 2.5 hours, and they've got a standing invitation for new players, so the number of players varries by session. I saw it running 8-players on the night we were playing Delta Green next to them. So, it could get interesting. Short sessions, lots of players, probably going to end up being a single set-up, combat, and cliff-hanger sort of session plan. But it gets me out of the house and playing games, so I'm down with that.

Which means, I have a new character to introduce you to...

For this game I wanted to play a cleric, a class that I've never played and since this is Eberron, he'll exist on a campaign world I've never played with. Also, let's just jump into the deep end of the pool and start this guy at 8th level.

Carsten Brich

Agent of House Orien | Cleric of the Sovereign of World and Wealth | Merchant Explorer

Wanderer of Paths Unknown, Finder of Opportunities Undreamed 

He is a Brelish human with the Dragonmark of Passage and strong ties to House Orien. I imagine he is something more akin to a merchant explorer than a priest. Say that he is an agent of his house, with all the connections that implies. He is a merchant and transporter of goods, a spy, and a diplomat of sorts. Always a follower of the Sovereign Host and their teachings, he has found favor, purpose, and enlightenment in serving Kol Korran (God of Trade, God of Travel). Some would say he is more rogue than priest, but he is simply an agent of his house, a traveler on fates road, and a man looking always for his next opportunity.

I'm still figuring it all out, but that's a good start. This ain't going to be your mace-wielding, healer-type cleric. 😎

This week our fantastic DM will be continuing an adventure set in Eberron with level 8 characters. Deep in the jungle of Xen’drik, as we search for a giant hand we have been sought out by elven druids. They have beseeched us to cleanse their city of an ancient unread horticultural menace. The menace does not take kindly to our cleansing… join us as heroes do what heroes gotta do!

Location: The Gaming Warehouse, Grandville, MI 49418, USA

Part 1: Probably an Owlbear

Just got back from The Gamer's Wharf  where I ran the first of two D&D adventures to cover the game slots usually occupied by Brett and Mike. They're both at GenCon and this seemed like a good time to show the group what my style of DMing looks like. I overpacked and under prepared, couldn't find half my notes, and just ran things the way I thought would be most enjoyable. I had fun. The players seemed to have fun. I think it went well and I feel like I set things in place for more adventure tomorrow. It wasn't really certain how many folks were going to make it to the game today. At minimum there was going to be three players, but attendance could have been as high as seven players. That would be a big, hard to manage group, but I prepared accordingly. We ended up with a very reasonable four players; Bob, Brent, Caroline, and Joshua. I made adjustments and things went well. No characters died.  So what happened and how did it go? For starters, that title " Pr...

Loke Books of Battle Mats

We use the Cyberpunk themed version of these Loke books in our game and they work really nicely. So I was inspired to buy myself some and of course I went overboard and bought three two-book sets. These aren't quite as large as the Cyberpunk maps, the giant books are 12x16 inches and these are 12x12 inches, but that still makes for a good size map. 12x24 if you use the two page spread or 24x24 if you combine two books as Loke intends them to be used. The quality is good. The art is fair. The usefulness... well, time will tell. I'm excited to use them and can envision a whole bunch of possibilities. Besides, each one of them comes with a blank grid map to increase their versatility.  I picked up three of the 2 book sets; The Dungeon, Castles, Crypts & Caverns, and Towns & Taverns. Like I just mentioned, each is a 2 book set of paired map sets. Meaning they can combined or used alone, depending on your needs and wants. You get 40 maps in each book, one per page or half th...

Enhance Game Bag

I heard the dog barking up a storm earlier, probably at a delivery driver, that's usually what gets him excited. I wasn't expecting a package so I just kept working on my thing and did not get up to see what he was barking at.  And then I received a text from my buddy, who is also one of my Adventure 3DP players. " My phone tells me you just received a package. Let me know if it's cool. " Sure enough, there was an unexpected box on my porch. Interesting. Whatever could it be? I get so few gifts at this time of year. Well, there was quite a fancy bit of kit in that box. " It's just a thank you for all your hard DM work and to maybe help offset the cost of the vast quantities of gasoline to come out here. 😀" This was quite unexpected. Gifts aren't really a thing I do with my friends. But it is very cool and will be super handy as I travel about spreading the good word of Gygax. Let's take a look. For starters, it has a 3-year Asurian Protectio...
