Session 3 delivered exactly the kind of mystery I wanted. The sandbox was opened and the players chased what interested them. They immediately circled back to the Hero’s Feast Inn and interrogated… a knitting wizard… CG Session Three: When a Feather isn’t a Feather
The players are free. I’m prepped. I’m also slightly terrified, because I don’t really know what direction they’ll go. I have a lot of things ready, but certainly not the direction they’ll choose. I want… Pre Session Chronomancer’s Gambit: Fog of War
The session was solid. Some good fights, a little dungeon crawl creepiness, and a great use of corridor tactics and warlock tanking. Vic abused 2024 Fiendish vigor. The party used Oil utilize. The 2024 rule… DiA Session Three: Beans
