Gaming with Grief Podcast

After killing some stuff(manticores mostly) The group finds Wakenreth. They poke around outside and battle their way through the tower. Saying more would be giving it away at this point.

After the PC's kill the Black Oozes in the temple they exit with Ishvern and her sea-elf scouts tell her that their leader Yerkhal was taken by the Dragon Army to Camp Carrionclay. After camp for the night, the group decides to go to Wakenreth, because it's a straight shot before going to Camp Carrionclay. Then Adrick calls and says he needs help.

After a long rest, the PC's break camp and make their way to the Blue Phoenix Shrine. They meet Ishvern and fight some black puddings. How does this keep happening(this is the first time they've done this).

Sometimes it just gets a little tiring hearing all the negativity out there. Talk about what you love and leave the rest behind.

The Party fights some draconian on a patrol because Martok failed his perception check. There is no other way to say it, although the rest of the group rolled so many nat 20s it was kind of incredible.

The players tussle with the air elementals ends and the group meets Dalamar an exiled elf who is one of many scholars in the area. He trusts the players, and takes them to Exile's End. There they meet Zhelsuel, the leader of the exiles. And well, they have dinner. Don't worry it's fun.

Happy Halloween. All the normal players(Well, Todd, Jesse, and Feyd) join me in playing The Secret World. We used the Pre-gen characters that came with the Kickstarter backer kit. It was awesome. I love this game.

After the group sets off from the docks of Kalaman they brave the high seas and reach the shores of Wrecker's Edge. They find a recently abandoned camp along with some supplies and a destroyed ship. Someone has the misfortune of setting off an alarm.

The Final Prep begins for the journey to the Northern Wastes. The group has to talk to Tatina and then end up fighting her home security system. They also get some new "Rocky Talkies" and meet Darrett Highwater at the docks and they go over his plan for the Wastes. Fun Times.

I was out a town quite a bit this month, so the big review I was going to do will have to wait till next month. I talk to my wife about The Legend of Zelda: Echos of Wisdom and well as Kinfire Delve and Throne and Liberty. Short but sweet this week.

The time to leave the north is coming upon the group. O'Grady finally figures out who is following him and what they want. And the PC's only have a few loose ends to wrap up before they head begin their next big journey.

After you have breakfast and shake off the hangover you have to go to church, and then maybe go to church. They may not be related but you may have to get ready to go up North. And maybe get some questions answered by a god.

After the all the kids in town leave the market, the PC's stay and drink with the locals. They learn more about Mother Matron, the undead merchant they met at the market. They also learn a bit about The Northern Wastes and Lord Soth. Good Times.

So, after you hear about terrible information like maybe you have to spend time in the desert to stop the Dragon Queen, sometimes just sometimes, you have to hang out and have kabobs. You may spend money on magic crystals too. Just saying, some days go like that.

With it in the news and after the debate Avin and I had to talk about it. I think both of us were pretty mad about it.

The group was around for O'Grady to get a background from A Life Well Lived from Cubicle 7. I really love this book. This isn't sponsored, I just want to share the love.

It's time to put to bed my thoughts on Banishers: Ghosts of New Eden. A game, I can't stop playing. The team at Don't Nod deserves a lot more credit then I think their getting.

I've been out of town a bit so I bought a book called A Life Well Lived by Cubicle 7 to flesh out some of the backgrounds for the characters. It may be the middle of the module, but the players never really gave me a lot of info on where their characters came from. This isn't a sponsored video, but huge shout out to the Glass Cannon Network for showing this off. So enjoy me giving Swami a backgrou...

My wife and I played the new ttrpg The Secret World based on the video-game by Funcom. The 5e compatible role-playing game was made by Star Anvil Studios. The kickstarted funded and I was a backer, I got all the stuff and I really wanted to play it.

Sometimes you have to stop and smell the roses. For the PC's this means getting armor, and talking to their mentor, as well as trying to track down someone who left a letter asking for help. Also, there were some croissants in there somewhere. So at least some actual rest. Kind of.

Episodes hit on Monday 7am of every week. Sometimes just sometimes you have to check in with your players and make sure that they are actually having a good time. You know, the one reason everyone is doing this is the first place. It was pretty neat to hear feedback though especially from the new players like Christian and Feyd.

Avin and I talk about the third parties that are running for office in the 2024 election. Hopefully, you find of this info enlightening. Maybe you’ll go look some of these people up and make up your own mind.

We've moved the episodes to Mondays now. And once a week. After the PC's defeated King Sarlamir, they debriefed with King Bakaris and Trinity of The Knights of Solamnia. Trinity gives everyone two days of R&R for everything they have done.

After PC's check out all of The Raided Catacombs, which also includes Swami checking his corners as it were and the group finds more out about the City of Lost names. The best part of this episode hands down is the debrief at the end of the episode. Check it out.
