Return of the DM

As the undead corps raises to attack a player, i too must get up and start blogging again

December 19th, 117 days ago wow i can't belive that was my last post

Sometimes life gets busy and prevents us from playing the game we enjoy. With Busy work and a new kid life does indeed get busy.

What's been going on!

D&D Encounters

Can you belive we are half done season one already. Next week will be session 6. Over all the Encounters have been great.


There is something about the magic of undermountain that forces my players to roll like crap. Undermountain was for some of us our first true introductions to D&D some 15 years ago. (holy crap im old). Every one of my normal crew who played in those games were looking forward to playing in the #dndenc

The game started off rather good, with the players realy owning the first encounter. But then as things started to pickup and they entered into undermountain the trouble begain. They worked their way through the skill challenge with was possibly the most memorible one ive seen and found the entrance to the lost halls.

Now the players are searching through the halls to discover more information, find treasure, and perhaps discover secrets of undermountain.

Overall the game was well designed and so far loved by players.

Its Hammerfast Time!

If you've had the kind of weather i had these last few days youll know there has been some enjoyable days. A little known fact about us canucks, is that we like to BBQ any chance we can.

Last weekend was no exception, bright sun, cold breeze, we fired up the bbq and had a impromtu #dnd game. Everyone made dwarves and we decided to run in Hammerfast since i picked up the booklet.


What a great little book, if your a dwarf fan it is a must have. Lots of great NPC's, adventure ideas, storylines, and leaves everything open to the DM.

I used some old maps from some previous game day events to run the encounters on, those maps sure do come in handy. And we played well into the night. The game was so enjoyable the players decided to play again the next day. Promptly running into a 14th level mind flayer (Party level 2)

In anycase D&D for me is on the upswing again, and i shall do my best to at least post once a week on news and other geek items.

Tip for Organizers: Need more players comming out to your events? Offer a bonus action point for 1st time people.

  1. 'Roll like crap' he says! lol

    Some say the dice are all statistics - I have learned to appreciate the unseen forces that flow through our unpredictable dice rolls!

    Encounters is a lot of fun! I look forward to continuing on deeper into Undermountain!
