Better than epic!

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

“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

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 […]

Enter the Druid: Good Food

Kaius knelt down next to Lluc, whispered a prayer to his god, then touched Lluc’s slumped body. A light glow settled over him, and he groaned as he rolled onto his back. He tried to sit up, but ultimately collapsed back down to the ground. His armor clanged against the […]

Enter the Druid: On the Mend

The hallway spilled out into a large antechamber. Greg’s torch made shadows dance across the rough stone walls. They teased my eyes and made me see things moving just out of the range of our light that weren’t really there. There were doors leading from the left and right side of […]

Enter the Druid: Catacombs

June 27, 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

So, OSRIC is still going well, even now, five sessions in. Combat is still quick and exciting while it seems that the players are enjoying the world and story. Well, enjoying the parts they’ve seen, at least. There’s plenty more world out there and, if I’m doing my job properly, […]

Tough times for the uninitiated

I woke up in bed, sharing a room with a half-dozen other injured people. The priests charged with my care worshiped a god named Sundara, whom I’d never heard of before. Kaius was there when I woke up and told me that some of the red-robed priests came across them after […]

Enter the Druid: Troubeck

Introductions Hi guys! I’m Rob, but you’ll more than likely see me referred to as Kiokri around these parts. I’ve been gaming since I was five, when my father introduced me to Super Mario Bros. on the NES. My favorite genres tend to be strategy and RPG, but I’ve got a soft […]

Enter the Druid: First Light

June 1, 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

Well, two weeks in, and OSRIC is going great. Okay, I suppose anything can go great for just two weeks, but it has thus far gone much better than our previous early campaigns. OSRIC is meant to be played quickly, if the afterword at the back of the rules is […]

And just a dash of dankness…

June 1, 2015 in OSRIC / RPG / Tabletop tagged Dungeons & Dragons / Dungeons and Dragons / Janko / OSRIC by Stanford

So, we started playing OSRIC last Tuesday (see the pertaining post), and it went pretty well, as starts go. There’s always a bit of confusion when a new system is tried, however I can say that we had far less confusion with OSRIC’s rules than we have with any other […]

And they’re off!
