First session of Adventurer Conqueror King tonight.


First session of Adventurer Conqueror King tonight. First random encounter was with a warband of 15 hobgoblins. They passed the PC's camp in the night while they were stopped just a few miles from the Moathouse. So of course they ambush the hobgoblins instead of letting them pass.

Result: 3 PC's rolling on the Mortal Wounds chart. The wizard lost a hand, the assassin has a limp, and the Nightblade got her face scarred. But with the gold they made, they went back to town, hired a healer, bought horses and are now pretty well equipped.

Except that in fighting the fire beetles in the courtyard the assassin went down again. This time the Mortal Wounds result was 2 lost fingers. He of course dual wields...for now.

    It's maybe the best $10 I've ever spent on a game. (Not including the $30 I paid to print and bind the rules).

    Tabletop Forge tonight. We use Fantasy Grounds for 4e, but it makes me tired just thinking about setting all that up now. Also, Fantasy Grounds ate my Spelljammer campaign.

    Curt Thompson, I should say the other best $10 in gaming is the Savage Worlds Explorer's Edition. Can't forget to plug that every chance I get.

    Yeah... I'm partial to rules lite systems for online play after creating and scripting a framework for D&D 4e in MapTool macroscript. Ugh.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players.

This is my gaming circle minus my ACKS players. I am such an asshole. Since they're in the big city now, the players really wanted to know if there were any magic weapons for sale. ACKS ain't 3e or 4e though. There is exactly one magic weapon for sale. I rolled randomly to see what it was and... ...it's a cursed -2 sword. So I told the players there's a weapons dealer/fence who's looking to get rid of a magic sword he's gotten ahold of...cheap. Only 6,000gp when usually a +1 item would be 10,000gp. So far they are not suspicious. They're going to be so pissed at me. I can barely contain my excitement.
