Halloween game

"Somewhere under a lost and lonely hill of grim and foreboding aspect lies a labyrinthine crypt. It is filled with terrible traps and not afewstrongeandferocious monsters to slay the unwary. It is filled with rich treasures both precious and magical, but in addition to the aforementioned guardians, there is said to be a demi-lich who stillwords his final haunt."

Since this year Halloween falls on a Friday, the day we have our regular AD&D 1e game, I decided to run the classic "S1-Tomb of Horrors" for my group. We will be using the pre-generated characters that come with the module so they don't have to use their current characters.

I have 4 players so they will be running 2 characters each rolled randomly from the list.

Player 1 - Human Cleric 8 (#14) y Elf Fighter 5/Magic-User 11 (#5)
Player 2 - Halfling Fighter 4/Thief 5 (#20) y Dwarf Fighter 7/Thief 8 (#8)
Player 3 - Half-Elf Cleric 5/Ranger 7/Magic-User 6 (#10) y Human Fighter 8 (#13)
Player 4 - Human Ranger 13 (#4) y Elf Magic-User 7/Thief 9 (#11)

I know it's not any of the suggested combinations for a better success, but the idea is to have fun... and die horribly.

Gygax memorial fundraiser

There is a fundraiser going on for a Gygax memorial in Lake Geneva, WI. At the time of this post it is more than 75% funded and it will end on October 31st. Don't miss the chance to be part of history and contribute with whatever you can. I already did.

Follow the Kickstarter link: https://www.kickstarter.com/projects/617053430/gary-gygax-memorial-game-table-for-dungeons-and-dragons-fans

Had the chance to visit Lake Geneva on 2024 for Gary Con XVI and the 50th anniversary of Dungeons & Dragons, and I encourage every D&D fan to make that pilgrimage if you can.

Bite the Bullet

This is the latest creation of Jason Hobbs and Brian Tacle, art by James Richards, and it is based on the "Into the Odd" rules system. 

"Every town is a candle against a vast dark. 

Every ride into the wilderness is a wager with death.

The world didn’t end with a bang. It just…dried up. Crops failed. Governments and towns crumbled. That left gun smoke, a sharp word, and faith. Now it’s generations later. People live in worn-out settlements, carry old-world iron, and cling to whatever beliefs that kept them breathing. Some say miracles still happen out here in the Wastes—but they’refueled by something deeper, more internal, than bullets.

You’ve got grit, ghosts, and something you believe in that’s worth dying for. That's enough."

You can get it here from DriveThruRPG as a PWYW.

There is also a fan-made app to generate characters for the game. You can also print your character sheet or download it in PDF, TXT or JSON format. 

Amyntor Wicke

This character was created to play Anthony Huso's "Castle of the Silver Prince" run by Aron Clark.

A scoundrel steeped in dishonor, Amyntor, only 23, now walks the path of a fledgling paladin. A level 0 character, he is a man plagued by excess—gambling, drinking, and indulgence—yet beneath his facade lies a burning ambition to reclaim his family's lost honor. 

His audacious claim of being the chosen champion of Hale, the god of the Stand, sparked divine intervention turning bluff into reality. Now, he must reconcile this incredible power with his past of deception as he strives to rise from the ashes of his family's disgrace.

Old Henry

Old Henry is a character for the playtest of the Weird West game "Bite the Bullet" by Jason Hobbs.  

He is a skilled and experienced scout with a reputation of being one of the lasts of his kind. With his faith put in the Great Spirit, he tries to live by the code of the ancient Native People but is haunted in his dreams after taking the help of that who he shouldn't have.
