D & D Live Session #6

 In this session there are only 2 other players and we are locked in combat for over 40min against a band of goblins.  I begin to compare the combat to nethack and realize how different the game play is.  I'm told several times that this is not nethack.  If I was confronted with a similar situation I would run to another level, get better armor and a better weapon then return to kill them all.  

After killing most of the goblins I would like to loot, and am asked if I'm a "murder hobo." I actually think nethack may revolve around killing others and looting them.  That in addition to stealing items from ghosts.  

Finally I asks if we are going to take food from their kitchen? They laugh and ask why? I don't want to die of starvation. Well that's not going to happen in this game.  One of the most advanced players set it up so our party has unlimited food sources. 

So now I realize this is not nethack and I have to spend some time learning how to play.

D&D Live Session#4

 I attended my #4 session of D&D live.  This session we were recruited by "Steve" to retrieve a bird statue from the sunken city.  We were also looking for a bird lady corpse and other sunken treasure.  What's the saying 3 birds, 1 stone? It was an easy sell, everyone from the previous mission signed on with a plus one.  Kalina took a break from her newly found freedom (her rumspringa). She is busy bartering and making deals for her upcoming trip to the dooms day vault.  She has been busy gathering seeds, researching flowers, plants, trees, teaching herself botanical watercolor.  She also has taken a liking to fine jewelry and metal smithing. She is weary of her knowledge of the great celebrimbor and his part in the current state of the world.  Her jewelry must be kept secret, but that's how all great downfalls start with secrets that turn into lies.  I'm a little confused as to how last time it took us hours to travel to the sunken city ...

Solo Dungeon and Dragons

 I'm not sure why a female has so many issues finding a D&D group willing to let her play. In my experience I've been able to join the group but there is never an open spot for me. After a year of "trying" to join a campaign in 2019 unsuccessfully, I became determined to become a Dungeon Master (DM) and start running my own games. Unfortunately, 2020 rolled around and covid hit. I was able to play The Land, a RPG (Role Playing Game) created by a local New Jerseyan. I had to make my character twice since it was not saved over when moving to the new server. I played one campaign through a combination of discord and roll20. Somehow something was still missing, the virtual avenue was not for me. Although I realized I enjoyed character creation. Next in 2025 I spend a year running D&D through a women's sci-fi group I was already a member of. We started by playing the D&D card game Dungeon Mayhem. There was a lot of interest at first and the game is easy to ...

D&D Live Session #5

  Bringing water, red bulls, and snacks definitely helped me get through this session. Your in person rations are just as important as your in game rations. At least I wasn't falling asleep and dehydrated at the end of this session.  Our party decided to go back to visit a town we saw while traveling to the sunken city.  Our boss gave us gifts/ bribes to offer the local townspeople.  We were sidetracked even before reaching the town, we stop to look at a glimmer of a battle taking place between ghosts armies. Before we could decide what to do, a band of goblins descend upon us. The leader is holding a wild boar by a rope. Kalina decides to attack a goblin first since she believes the board is harmless.  I combine my longbow, hunters mark and dreadful strike to kill a goblin.  I'm learning how to combine attacks, referencing the player's handbook helps.  Unfortunately after a couple rounds of attacks, the boar breaks free and attacks Kalina.  My ar...
