Well, this is a nightmare. I put off writing this as, frankly, I hoped Wizards of the Coast was going to release a statement saying "yeah, this isn't the case at all" but their continued silence is deafening. It looks like the leaks are accurate. They are trying to bury their head in the sand,... Continue Reading →
A new campaign means a new character! I mentioned in my last ramble about the new Out of the Abyss game my group are starting tomorrow that I would introduce you to my newest character. Well, here she is in all her glory! Hecate by the talented Mimmikko Hecate Iriosal is a water genasi druid. Like Daphne... Continue Reading →
When one campaign ends, another one will begin. After about a year or so of playing Curse of Strahd, we are swapping Barovia for the Underdark. Both are frankly dark and depressing places, with potential death a constant companion. My group really needs to play a more light-hearted campaign soon, as this is a worrying pattern. I...

After over a year's worth of suffering, angst and all-around bad times for our characters, our Curse of Strahd campaign had its season finale last Sunday. In short, we decided to move on to another campaign for a while, leaving Curse of Strahd on a cliffhanger we will return to at a later date. Oh man, it's been a... Continue Reading →
Today's ramble is just a bit on the short side, as I wanted to share a little milestone with you guys. Last Sunday, my D&D group celebrated our "Strahdaversary". We have been playing our Curse of Strahd campaign for a year now. Time flies when you are fighting for survival in brutal Barovia. So far, our kill... Continue Reading →
Last Monday's session was intense. The session started with Gunner, the only confirmed survivor, waking up after the battle. He got pulled away from the fray by an NPC. Realising the situation, he was keen to run back down to where he last saw his friends and get them to safety. Provided, of course, that... Continue Reading →
The inevitable has happened. Zyn Zoland by the talented @Zombie_octopus I'm somewhat surprised it has taken this long to be honest with you. I've been playing Dungeons and Dragons for about four years now, so going this long without suffering death is lucky. Unfortunately, said luck as run out as my Drow Wizard, Zyn Zoland,...

I might have found my new favourite fantasy series. As an avid Dungeons and Dragons player, I like playing video game adaptations of the beloved TTRPG. My current favourite is Dungeons & Dragons: Dark Alliance. From the second I hit play, I fell in love with the playable characters, but in particular a certain Drow Rogue by the... Continue Reading →
Today marks the fourth consecutive session of D&D that I have missed. While this doesn't sound like much, I am having severe withdrawal. It is almost funny how much this is affecting me. Me, almost every day I know that it sounds like I am overdramatic. In fairness, from a certain point of view, I... Continue Reading →
In a previous ramble, I mentioned my newest character, Zyn Zoland for our Curse of Strahd campaign. Well, I thought it would be fun to tell you guys a bit more about my Drow Necromancer. When I first envisioned him, he was a nervous wreck and an edgelord. I mean, it's Curse of Strahd, it's a gothic horror... Continue Reading →
