When playing a #TTRPG, I love it when the dice tell a story.

Sunday, during our #Pathfinder game, the party espied a demon in an adjoining room, lurking in the dark. The language for the module said that the first thing the demon would do was to cast a spell to summon another to the temple, so I said it was starting to cast a spell.

Immediately, the cleric said she wanted to try and cancel the spell. The player flipped through her spell list and the core book, trying to figure out how to stop the demon. I decided to have an initiative roll-off to see if the creature could get the spell off before the cleric could stop it.

The player won the initiative roll by 1. 19 vs 20. The players were stoked, to say the least.

Then she had to roll against the spell going off, which was no guarantee. I think she needed a 14 or better and she rolled an 18, I think.

The cleric had just stopped the summoning of another huge demon. I believe they killed it in a round and a half. It was epic. I was thrilled for them. They had a good strategy and great luck. I live for those moments in game.

If you don't have the money to spend on WotC products, but still want to provide quality content for your players, "Dragon" and "Dungeon" magazine are freely available online (around 550 issues).

The adventures, classes, spells, races etc are from older D&D editions. But if you're a halfway decent DM, you should be able to adapt the contents into 5e (or whatever other system you're using) with little effort. They should last you multiple lifetimes.

Lashunta Inspirational Pic of the Week

When we talk about trans-dimensional portals, worldgates, or the Elven aiudara, everyone assumes they're arches, but are they?

Of the known elfgates scattered over Castrovel (and Golarion), how many are workable, and how many have fallen into disrepair? How many have been forgotten?

In my homebrew history of Castrovel, during the Formian Conquest of the Colonies, the Lashunta and Elves destroyed that continent's elfgates, lest they fall into enemy hands. Or did they?

Tomorrow, we're starting module 5 of 6 of my #Pathfinder #RiseOfTheRunelords campaign. I never imagined I'd get this far through it when we started.

It's got me thinking about my gaming white whales.

I'd love to get to play #VampireTheMasquerade again at some point, but more likely, I'll be running #VampireTheRequiem

I'd love to go back and run some #AdvancedDungeonsAndDragons modules like the #Dragonlance #WarOfTheLance or the original #Ravenloft or things like that using #ADD2e or #CastlesAndCrusades.
