Better than epic!

Editor’s note: This post contains a pretty hefty spoiler for Enter the Druid. We purposefully have ETD running several weeks behind the actual gaming group’s adventure, so the contents of this Verb-age will reveal a pretty big plot point for a future ETD. If you’re on the edge of your […]

The Word of Greg

“Wake up!” urged Barry in a hushed voice. A small boot dug into my shoulder when I didn’t respond fast enough. “There are torches coming our way. I can hear voices.” Kaius shook Lluc and Greg awake. Max stretched his front paws out in front of him, arching his back. […]

Enter the Druid: I Hate Little Girls

For the first time, I found a MOBA that I like. Not League of Legends, nor Defense of the Ancients, but Heroes of the Storm. But why do I like it? I found myself asking this reflexive question between matches recently. Is it the whole ‘Closet Blizzard Fanboy’ in me, […]

Lluc spoke up as we left the clearing and druids behind us. “Kaius and I talked with some of the druids who remained behind after the rest of you went gallivanting off into the woods last night. They said they’ve had a few goblin incursions over the last few weeks.” […]

Enter the Druid: Max

I awoke the next day with a profound pain centered just above my eyes. I was in a small building made entirely of oak. A few beds laid in rows in the center of the floor and clay jars filled shelves along the walls. Light came in through the only […]

Enter the Druid: Hospitality

July 31, 2015 in Enter the Druid / OSRIC / RPG / Tabletop tagged Dungeons & Dragons / Dungeons and Dragons / Enter the Druid / Janko / OSRIC / Pen and Paper / RPG / Tabletop by Rob Beach

Stories always make heroes seem so well compensated. They get land or are granted titles. The only resident of the small village that seemed eager to thank us was the young girl Kaius had stepped in front of to shield her from the goblins. She had her arms firmly wrapped […]

Enter the Druid: The Grove

Since I began playing Counter Strike somewhat seriously in 1.3 and continue on-and-off to this day, I enjoy the game in a genuine sense. It is a constant challenge to yourself to work with your teammates, remember your crosshair placement, perfect your smokes and flashes and bomb plants and lots […]

Counter-Strike Global Offensive: Skins, Style and Swag

“Kiokri,” Greg called, pointing to a mark on his map, east-northeast of Troubeck. “Headmaster Fabijan told me that there is a druids’ grove here.” That was surprising, although when I thought about it later I realized it shouldn’t have been. This world was similar to mine in so many ways. […]

Enter the Druid: Little Green Men

Well, work is progressing on OSRIC/2050, and it’s actually quite a bit of fun! Hey, Stanford here, and I’ll briefly introduce my old man. Shawn currently makes his living as a COBOL programmer, and has been since he started doing it in the Marine Corps in the early 80’s. Yeah, […]

Hashing the Hacker

Nostalgia is a funny thing. I’ve traveled a lot during my life and never had a real home, so I was surprised when the feeling started to creep up on me when we first caught sight of Troubeck. It was diminished somewhat when I saw the heads decorating pikes by […]
