The Enemy Within: Death on the Reik (S2E7)

(originally posted 25 Nov 2018)

The Devil May Care was my keep for the several days spent in Kemperbad. Wealthy town, curiously situated high up on a cliff. Goods and gentlefolk were transported up towards it by using a system of lifts and winches. Very peculiar sight, seeing all those people asc…

The Enemy Within: Death on the Reik (S2E6)

(posted by the GM, not an in-character journal entry, on 6 Nov 2018) 

Session recap S2E6: The Devil May Care (or perhaps the Bloody Windfall) sails upriver from Castle Reikgard, five days of slow going against the current.

En route our crew encounter a nobles' party barge. The drunken aristo…

Captain's Log: Festag, 6th of Sigmarzeit, 2512.
Captain Johann Dasbuut speaking, Harbull is still wonderfully writing this log as our ship’s doctor and chronicler. I believe it is now early morning, so without further ado…

We stood inside…

The Enemy Within: Death on the Reik (S2E4)

(originally posted 25 Sep 2018) 

Captain's Log: Angest- no Festag... No, maybe? Sigmarzeit, 2512.

I know my uncle Gary would be very angry at my lack of time-keeping but that's not the most important thing right now. Werner is currently comforting the poor dwarf construction worker Thingrum …

The Enemy Within: Death on the Reik (S2E3)

(originally posted 15 Sep 2018) 

Captain's Log: Festag, the 31st of Pflugzeit, 2512.

The journey to through the Weissbruck Canal was strangely uneventful. I had become increasingly wary of mutants and their ambushes and, although I hide it, I'm still not relieved of this fear. We paid our tol…

The Enemy Within: Death on the Reik (S2E2)

(originally posted 11 Sep 2018)

Captain's Log: Bezahltag, the 4th of Pflugzeit, 2512.

The Devil May Care (great name, Werner suggested it) has proven herself to be a sturdy and reliable riverboat. It is not the largest vessel a captain could ask for, it's only middling in terms of size com…

The Enemy Within: Death on the Reik (S2E1)

(originally posted 5 Sep 2018)

We were well rested, and the horrors of the previous night were mostly exorcised. The plan was to get the coinage we had won for ourselves elsewhere, and to rarely if ever speak of the incident again. I cannot speak for certain if Chaos will stop hounding our travel…

The Enemy Within: Shadows Over Bogenhafen (S1E5)

(originally posted 5 Aug 2018)

We stopped the cart to collect our buried loot as well as get a bit of respite from the day's hardship. Werner was off unearthing the dirt coffers, one thousand fine gold crowns for journey ahead. Wanda was sitting by the fire and absorbed in reading those strange w…

The Enemy Within: Shadows Over Bogenhafen (S1E4)

(Johann's journal; Originally posted 23 Jul 2018) 

We were holed up in the Crossed Pikes, the really, erm, let's say suspicious inn. The first idea we had was to lay low and pass enough time so that we could walk the streets without notice. Time was of the essence, however, so Wanda went to a te…

Bootleggers (one-shot)

Today (6 Aug 2016) I ran a one-shot of Bootleggers by +John Harper, for two players. A grand time was had by all.

Rules stuff:
I reduced the level threshold to 4 scores in order to get to more of the good stuff in our single session (the episode concluded with a daring smuggling run to hit level…

Mutant Year Zero (session 1)

We rejoin the mutants on their expedition to the Science Place in sector F18 - after the spider fight; the fixer Enrique (a dandy fellow who wears a formal jacket over his hoodie) caught up with the group. 
Diego insisted on sleeping before moving on. Guillermo made a tent.  It started to get da…

The Enemy Within: Shadows Over Bogenhafen (S1E3)

GM notes (posted 9 July 2018) 

A quick GM-report from Saturday:
- The PCs arrived in Bogenhafen, met some people, bought stuff, got a drunk dwarf out of the stocks, saw a freak show.
- Wanda went to find a bookseller but got turfed out of the fancy jousting area
- A goblin escaped from …

The Enemy Within (S1E2)

Originally posted 30 June 2018

Werner here, I want to say my piece on what happened today.  Harbull is writing.  After defeating the Valentina guards, we moved towards their main hideout.  They were quickly trying to pack up their things and escape.  They assumed we were members and directed the …

The Enemy Within (S1E1)

(Posted 24 June 2018) 

Johann Dasbuut speaking. Wanda's writing, I'm telling it. Will try to make this brief, we need to get moving soon.

Got off boat to Nuln, a large city famed for its industry, and by the time we got through several officials on the port it had reached night. Couldn't fin…

Back in the little town of Wawatesan:

Kapuloan Kulon session 3: Beyond the Keep on the Borderlands

(an OSR-driven World of Dungeons game in an archipelagic Yoon-Suin)

Well, they found the Caves of Chaos. On the way:

- a visit to the Garden of Bao Yu, which might have been a dream (but if it was, how did Panya get that collection of useful leaves?)

- Adjo and Panya (and Cicak) split o…

Kapuloan Kulon session 1: Something Stinks in Sutil-Taun

The first session of the open-table, archipelagic Yoon-Suin campaign Kapuloan Kulon was on Tuesday 15 August 2017.

We played through a thinly reskinned "Something Stinks in Stilton" by Oli Palmer: the PCs (Adjo the ranger, Panya the wizard, Bennu the thief) were hired by a grumpy tea merchant to …
