He had it coming

Was the writing on the wall for Cragstrum?
Being stung in the face twice by giant killer bees was bad enough but then he fell foul of a poison needle trap. So long old friend, you fought well, we'll miss you. We'll just take his possessions and stuff his body into the chest that proved to be his his undoing. Our adventurers have completed their quest, levelled up and learned a thing or two about bragging too much in sordid inns. Will the group stay together long enough to take the map to someone who can decipher it? Where will it lead? Are they perhaps 'In  search of  the Unknown'....

How?

Astonishing as it may seem, five first level characters have all just survived their first push into a new dungeon! How is this possible? I don't know. Its never happened before. Sheer luck?, skill? dodgy character sheets? I think it was all down to the bulldog clip monsters and a black d6. Our new band of wastrels are resting up whilst trying to forget the sight of zombie flesh dripping from the walls and ceiling. Sweet dreams. Sweet exploding zombie dreams..


Some of the recently departed......

Lost in the mists of a misty place

A Halfling and a Cleric stumble through the door of a wretched tavern at the edge of a small and very bleak settlement. Meriaboc and Wiffo are looking for other adventurers to join them on a quest but it seems none will be found in this desperate place. The small dark room is frequented by two grumbling old men and a flee-bitten dog. Feeling down hearted Meriaboc orders two ales from the inkeep. Reaching for his purse to pay,  he discovers that its missing. A shadow flits across the room and dissapears near a twisted old bookshelf located in the corner of the room....

Session Comic - Second Edition

We finally finished the adventure Seobeq was running! Much has changed, much has stayed the same.
The ever-present death around every corner stayed the same.

The Adventure! Continues

There was such a good reaction to the session-recap-comic last time that I just had to do another one, and make it a bit fancier, so this one's longer and has a bit of colour on it too. The Moldvay Basic D&D colours of red and yellow, y'know. The very same colours used on the cover of the first printing of Labyrinth Lord from fun benefactor Goblinoid Games.

Enjoy!

(Oh, and there's a full-size version of the comic right here, for the keen.)

Lets get out of here..

At long last Fortress of the Mountain King has been completed. More brave player characters perished. Only Wiffo the Cleric and Meriaboc the Halfling survived. Given the large amount of treasure they have accumulated, (not to mention the monsters inexpertly dispatched), those chaps are about to go up a level. The Mountain King Escaped and was last seen heading North. The fallen heroes now lie mouldering in a dung heap inhabited by an Okyuck. Our weary adventurers drag their battle worn bodies back to the village where toasted crumpets and guady waistcoats bring comfort to their sadened hearts. Will they continue adventuring?.................Of course they will!.

Bring it..

At long last, the time for adventure doth approacheth thh thu. Ready yourselves, do some yoga, eat organically certified vegatables, get a shiatsu, sharpen your swords. Hmm, being locked in a library for six months must surely have some effect on intellegence modifiers....

Itchy dice..

Blimey, it's tough getting folks together for a game. But then again, it makes it all the more worthwhile when it happens.
