DnD Encounters - Storm over Neverwinter - Week 0

Greetings Dungeoneers,

     For this season, we've decided to go back to 4th edition while we wait for more work to be done on 5th edition. You'll need a 3rd-level character to start this season, and try to take advantage of the themes and backgrounds provided in the Neverwinter Campaign book for 4th edition. And of course, all books and magazines for 4th edition are fair game for character creation.
     For those in a hurry, Wizards has provided some nicely pre-generated characters HERE.
     Sign-up for the event HERE. We'll be starting Sunday (2013.04.14) at 1300 and hope to see you there.

DnD Weekly Adventure

Greetings Dungeoneers,

   Today our gaming group tried something new, no premade adventure, just the basic idea of an orc chef wanting rare ingredients. Pretty much every part of this adventure was made up on the spot, with collaborative feedback from the players. We also made characters that were deliberately broken or nonsensical.

The Characters:

• Justin Nichols as a Pixie Paladin, named Super Ego that wanted everyone to do good.
• +Josh W as a Pixie Blackguard, named Id, (and twin brother to Super Ego) that wanted everyone to do evil deeds.
• +Sean Hale as a Changeling Hybrid Assassin (Dragon Magazine) / Vampire, also a manifestation of a sun god (leading to humorous events of setting on fire when using sun god powers).
• +Unika Cole as a Warforged Monk, built like a Gundam.
• David as a Satyr Bard with erectile dysfunction leading to him only singing sad songs.
• +Adam Nelson as and a Dragonborn Warlord, our straight-man for the group, constantly berated by the pixies.

DnD Encounters - Against the Cult of Chaos - Week 1

Greetings Dungeoneers,

     This season had our players introduced to DnDNext mechanics, which seem to be going over well. The extra dice makes the game more random and the simplified check system based on ability scores makes for simpler game play. Combat also seems faster, so that's a nice improvement. From a DM point of view, the sandbox style of play for the town of Hommel Lane really allows me to keep the game flowing with what the players want to do.

     DnDNext Playtest
     Encounters Sign-Up

Adventurers:

• +Unika Cole as UnikaChar the Halfling Rogue
• +Sean Hale as Bob the Human Cleric
• Justin Nichols as Dorrin the Dwarf Fighter
• +Josh W as Sigfried the Human Fighter
• Adam Nelson as Rodrik the Human Fighter
• Adam Thompson as Richard the Elf Wizard

TL;DR:
     Our adventurers escort a paladin to a Hommel Lane, but are delayed when the paladin is possessed. Upon making it to town, half the party parties while the other half take the captured and possessed paladin to a temple to be purified. At the temple, they learn of a missing person last seen at nearby inn, while the others at the tavern learn of another missing person near some local caves. Meeting at the inn, our parties continue to follow up on some leads.

     And now for a full recap of this week's adventure The Village of Hommel Lane.
