Um...we're crashing in one round and everyone is spending points to go before the dragon does so we've got a chance to kill it before we crash in Puget Sound.
Bill killed it with his monofilament whip just before we crashed. My character survived by jumping out into the ocean. Everyone else lived by burning Edge.
Yikes. TPK is a good session to miss. And this one doesn't make me feel guilty. Addition of a decker doesn't look like it would have helped prevent a TPK in this case.
Street cred raises the limit on social skills when the target would have heard of you. Your public awareness will also go up after this, which has no numerical effect on tests, as far as I know.
Originally shared by Jonathan Tweet Tonight, my "Lethal Damage" 13th Age campaign draws to a close. Meanwhile, the guys are work have talked me into running a couple D&D sessions for them. That was the day 13th Age was announced, and they're happy to play 13th Age instead. That will be my "Great Center" campaign, based in the imperial capital of Axis, the center of the world. It's my opportunity to explore the setting from yet another perspective.
Pre-gen from Frank Mentzer's module, The Needle , 1987. I knew this was insulting and gross when I was 14. At the time I didn't know who Frank was, since I only played AD&D. I found this module again when I was going through a box of old stuff and was surprised he wrote it, because I thought it was a pretty shitty adventure.
From Voyageurs National Park on FB: Called “Catamaran” by locals, Bert Upton is among the strangest of historical characters on area waters. He lived in a hut built over a dug-out at Squirrel Narrows. Found frozen to death in the 1930s by Kettle Falls pioneer Oliver Knox; Upton was perched lifeless in the snow just a half-mile from his home. Shunning civilization, Upton defined the word hermit. First spotted rowing his crude log raft on Namakan, no one knows how he got there. Upton’s accent implied an English heritage but any personal inquiries brought a stony silence. Some suspected him a man fleeing the law; others saw a bizarre outcast; everyone knew he was peculiar. Just five feet tall and wildly unkempt, Catamaran wore hacked-off pants and walked barefoot with a stick. Winter demanded shoes but no socks, a cast-off Mackinaw, and a trailing cap made from the leg of old underwear. He was oddly religious, and suspicious of being poisoned. Surviving on snared rabbits and fish, he ofte...
That looks pretty freaking awesome! Bravo Matt Nelson!

ReplyDeleteIf not for a guardian spirit (kept them from drowning in Puget Sound) and DocWagon, it would have been a tpk, even after burning edge.
ReplyDeleteYikes. TPK is a good session to miss. And this one doesn't make me feel guilty. Addition of a decker doesn't look like it would have helped prevent a TPK in this case.
ReplyDeleteNo, that was all me trying to dogfight a dragon.
ReplyDeleteWe're going to be famous, though. Once we get out of the hospital.
I saw fame on the character sheet. What does it do for you in this game?

ReplyDeleteIt also means that may be targets of guys who want to prove they are tougher than the crew that killed a Western Dragon.
