  • Spiders on a Boat Actual Play

    The Death of Alcion…second death of Alcion…in two weeks…
  • Spiders on a Boat (Snakes on a Plane #2)

    Another tough week for Alcion. Dropped by a swarm of spider and an Ettincap who hated fey creatures, I then failed three death saves–double whammy with a one on the final role with the dice Tina gave me at the start of the season.

    Alcion will return, but having already been a Lich Killer & a Lich Lord I am not sure what else there is for him to be…I will need to think of something–likely drow-y since he was killed by spiders…

    I am also currently fascentated by the D&D Beyond Magic School Logos–I am not sure which one I like best and/or what they are all supposed to represent…

    Rich was in the house–his assassin is now a swashbuckler & complete awesome!

    Brian has a druid / barbarian halfling and Cody is playing a min/maxed Grunge Ranger

    DM Richard appears to be having a blast!

    Alcion is still the weakest link…

    I lost a D20 and had to purchase a new set!

    Siler metal did not work that well, but they roll great–not great numbers, just a great feel–you understand….

  • Dragon Hunting

    This week at D&D Encounters at Alakazam Comics, I forgot my camera so this photo recap will be a little pastey…

    First a quick plug for Extra Life who have a Table Top Appreciation Day coming up–I am working on scheduling some events in Orange County & will post more information here when I have it…

    Here is a preview of what the adventure may entail!

    Here is my adventure log from the night–note that I use a variety of tools to track the adventure, but I am working to try to standardize this some–I have some ideas on how I can do this better mostly so I can remember what went down last week…Boxed Text is magic items we unlocked:

    Here the box text is villain name–I need to improve / standardize this note taking.

    I bought a new mini for Alcion this week which of course means that he died–40pts from dragon breath after already being down a few…

    Adventure League rules for Raise Dead are interesting up to level four, so I am able to come back! But if you have been following along with the CIS Male High-Elf (Eladrian) Wizard (3) / Cleric (1) dedicated to killing Liches you may be shocked to see that he has come back as an ACEF Male Human Wizard (3) / Cleric (1) Lich LORD!

    This is going to get great!

  • F’ing Drow

    Another Great week of D&D Adventures League at Alakazam Comics!

    Cody continues to dominate not just the Pencil Game, but also the Min/Max game with his Ghostwise Halfling Ranger.

    I am playing a CIS Male High Elf Wizard / Cleric obsessed with killing Liches.

    The other table came by with delicious chocolate treasure to start today’s game!

    I am still rocking my Q-Workshop Elvish Dice

    DM Richard is having a blast behind the screen

    My notes and adventure log needs a great deal of work–I think I am skating a little cause Lost Mines is not that “interesting” once you have played it a few times.

    This week there were four of us & we are in the Kill All Drow part of the adventure

    My Fog Cloud was good (and KUDOS to DM Richard for having the template) , but our Assassin critted like 4 times in a row to really steal the session MVP.

  • D&D Adventure League

    Cody & I went to Alakazam to play some D&D this Wednesday. Cody brought the amazing Dice Envy dice he purchased at Gamex.

    He is still rocking his amazing Mimic dice bag that he purchased a few seasons ago.

    I went with Black & Red Tube of Dice and the new Wizards of the Coast D&D Branded draw bag for my dice.

    The Adventure was fairly standard, but the table was wild and out of control–it was GREAT to be back at D&D on Wednesday nights–I feel like I have missed almost six months.
