One-Hour Wargames: Ancient Campaign - Battle 2 December 10, 2024 One-Hour Wargames & Wargame After a break for the holiday, I have returned to my little wargame. As previously noted, this is a small campaign in a fictional “ancient era” One-Hour Wargames: Ancient Campaign - Battle 1 November 30, 2024 One-Hour Wargames & Wargame While I have been playing role-playing games a bit on the side, I have been interested in getting back to narrative wargaming. To start, I set up a What I Want To Be Playing November 26, 2024 Meta Honestly, I’ve been playing a lot less (though not as little as this blog might seem to reflect). Some of that is because of big public events, Numenera: Jade Colossus - Session 6 September 8, 2024 Numenera & Mythic GME & Jade Colossus The explorers have found the entrance to the chambers containing the Eye of Transcendence, a terrible and powerful relic from a prior world. Game: Numenera: Jade Colossus - Session 5 September 7, 2024 Numenera & Mythic GME & Jade Colossus We’re getting close to the end of a solo Numenera arc, exploring the Jade Colossus in search of the Eye of Transcendence. Game: Numenera (Monte Numenera: Jade Colossus - Session 4 September 5, 2024 Numenera & Mythic GME & Jade Colossus I’m going to put a bit more effort this time into explaining what I’m doing, both with Mythic GM Emulator and with the Numenera rules. A billion Numenera: Jade Colossus - Session 3 September 2, 2024 Numenera & Mythic GME & Jade Colossus With the completion of the heavy emotional task of recovering and handing over the corpse of a young woman found within the Jade Colossus Numenera: Jade Colossus - Session 2 September 1, 2024 Numenera & Mythic GME & Jade Colossus From last session, Draven picked up a new follower, and he potentially has an additional quest related to the discovery of the remains of a missing Numenera: Jade Colossus - Session 1 August 30, 2024 Numenera & Mythic GME & Jade Colossus Numenera from Monte Cook Games is a science fantasy game and one of my absolute favorite settings. Called the Ninth World, it’s technically one Heryngard - Session 4 August 27, 2024 Swords & Wizardry & OD&D & Domain of Heryngard & D30 Sandbox Companion & Tome of Adventure Design I’ve finished the Uldra Cthon; now it’s time to head out into the world. Goals for this session: Finish recovery for Hraegosh (injured in the Uldra Heryngard - Session 3 August 18, 2024 Swords & Wizardry & OD&D & Domain of Heryngard & D30 Sandbox Companion Let’s flesh out the village of Caer Morag and the surrounding area while the group spends a few more days here. Then they’ll head back to the Uldra Heryngard - Session 2 August 17, 2024 Swords & Wizardry & OD&D & Domain of Heryngard & D30 Sandbox Companion Last session was very long; in fact, I think it was one of the longest I’ve done on this blog. This session is much shorter, but represents a very Heryngard - Session 1 August 14, 2024 Swords & Wizardry & OD&D & Domain of Heryngard & D30 Sandbox Companion & Tome of Adventure Design I enjoyed my last campaign of Swords & Wizardry Complete (S&W) with Dyson’s Delve, but I wanted to try something based on the lessons I learned then Dyson’s Delve and Swords & Wizardry - Retrospective August 9, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry Having now wrapped up an entire solo playthrough of Dyson’s Delve with Swords & Wizardry, I wanted to think a little about how the dungeon felt, the Dyson’s Delve - Session 21 August 8, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry & Downtime in Zyan This should be the final session of Dyson’s Delve, one way or another. Like in the previous session, I am keeping downtime fast and loose, because Dyson’s Delve - Session 20 August 7, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry & Downtime in Zyan I suspect this is the penultimate session in this Dyson’s Delve campaign, unless they all die horribly today. My to-do list (again, not necessarily Dyson’s Delve - Session 19 August 5, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry & Downtime in Zyan & D30 Sandbox Companion The campaign is definitely in its last stages; we’ve cleared 8 of the 11 levels of Dyson’s Delve. So I have a to-do list for this session to keep Dyson’s Delve - Session 18 August 4, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry & Downtime in Zyan & Tome of Adventure Design & The Monster Overhaul The last session was a tremendous success, if a real nail-biter. The party not only regained some of its honor by bringing back the petrified Dyson’s Delve - Session 17 August 3, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry & Downtime in Zyan & The Monster Overhaul & D30 Sandbox Companion Every time I play this game, I get a better sense of how much it differs from modern editions of D&D. The game has a different focus in many ways, Dyson’s Delve: Session 16 August 1, 2024 OD&D & Dyson's Delve & Swords & Wizardry & Downtime in Zyan & The Monster Overhaul Making a slightly shorter delve and taking less risk paid off last time for the new adventurers. Let’s see how that approach works again. Last time,
