…a story of magic and comfort
Gaming News From The House Of Hounds
Last Sunday, my group got together for the first time in at least a month. More importantly, we were back up to 5 players again. In light of this, I scrapped the “Antropomorphic Otter Secret Agents” fantasy series and, as is the ongoing long term plan, moved things ahead about 250 years in the game world history.
Now, Our Heroes are playing dual classed characters in a pretty standard D&D style dungeon looting series. The rules (which I pretty much pulled outta my ass on the fly) are a highly modified bastard child of Basic D&D and several other systems. Base rolls are on a D10 with me rolling various types of dice in opposition. It seems to be working.
Anyway, we have a fighter/ranger, ranger/fighter, healer/mage, fighter/mage and a thief/fighter. Pretty much all bases covered to some degree.
We established that these folks (three human males, an elf female and a halfling female) grew up together and now want to go out and seek fortune and glory. Mostly fortune.
Where have I heard that character goal before? :)
Since we know that they have been working for an old mage/herbalist/healer/alchemist since they were kids (he’d send them out to gether roots, berries and other plant materials), I had the guy hire them to go off to the ruins of an old fort/town to look for rare spell components and such. He gave them a long list. They also have an even longer list made up of requests from other mages and such who live in the Big City to the southwest.
In the first session, they met a gnome, avoided hill goblins and a bear, pissed off and then attempted to fight a Cape Buffalo and saved one of the party from being parasytized by a giant amoeba thing.
Next session, they should get to the ruins. Then the real fun will begin:)
