Early Sunday D&D: No Session

Early Sunday D&D is on hiatus while our illustrious Dungeon Master is out of town, possibly traveling the world in search of inspiration for our continuing adventures. The adventures of Thergale the Verdant on this strange foreign world will continue, but during this break lets hear from our hero and learn a bit more about this powerful warlock.

Thergale the Verdant
Human Male, Chaotic Good, Warlock/7
Thergale the Verdant is an adult human male, 32-years-old, 6 feet tall, and 175 lbs in weight. His hair is a warm honey red-brown and his eyes a bright verdant green. He wears his hair nearly to shoulder length and sports a full beard and mustache, both of which he keeps neat, trim, and clean. He is fond of the color green, warm brown leather, and the flash of gold. His lifestyle, dress, and manners are those of a man of wealth who aspires to gain title among the aristocracy.

"I came from nothing. I am the product of ale and opportunity. Children making children, conceived on dirty straw between the stalls of lowly beasts. Love or desperation, who can say. I am of impeccable lineage, born to a line that never rose above the like of serfs, peasants, villagers, and cottagers. When I left for other fields and farms that had need of strong backs and able hands, there were seven of us, my mother a ragged woman of 32 and my father a broken drunk just two years her senior."

"Pity and remorse, I don’t need the first and dismiss the latter. I was blessed with charm, resilience, and drive. I have made myself who I have become and done so through my own actions and decisions. I have taken fortunes from fools and lost them as foolishly. I have faced horrors you cannot imagine, traversed the forest paths of Fairyland, won a Fae Queen, and gathered about me such eldritch magics as guarantee I will never again face the plow and the cart. Call me warlock, adventurer, braggart, or opportunist, whatever you choose, I will not be the one forgotten in this company. I am sworn upon the Verdant Mother of the Dawn. Beloved of Lilliane. Wielder of the Verdant Blade. I am Thergale the Verdant. I am the immortal prince of the witchlight."

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

Image
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...
