Hey I was wondering if anyone has any examples of times that compendium classes have came into their game..

I really like the “Flux” one but it seems like the sort of thing a gm and a player would have to agree on before band to set up the chance?

Anyone use airships in your game before. I’m considering setting the seeds for them to be introduced later

Anyone have any good name generators for NPC’s?

Or even full NPC generators would be awesome

Not quite sure where to put this?

I had a (mostly) awesome second session

The guy playing the the if never showed and we still don’t know why( I made a short scene of him drinking some very expensive brandy and passing out to explain why he wasn’t present)

So after delivering the news of Kanye of the West dieing to the town of rivers edge they went to the inn to rest.

Our berserker got in a small argument with the in keeper and left to go find some women . He found them in a tailors where he commissioned a very fancy silk lion cloth and a furry one . He is now the only berserker with formal wear in all the land. He terrified all the young ladies in there…. The elderly owner was very happy with him though.

He selected his clothed in an 80’s style montage complete with backing music.

Meanwhile the others talked to the innkeeper who’s daughter was shamelessly flirting with them. Being a paladin and a cleric they both rejected her advances.

A wake was organised for Kanye which I treated as a carouse roll . they met a wizard who co gratulated them on taking out a necromancer and gave them an amulet to communicate with him if necessary. And a very drunk man told them about missing lumberjacks before stumbling off

Here’s where it got fun. The berserker woke up next to the in keepers daughter. He was woken by an angry innkeeper. The following brawl ended up taking off the wall of the inn!

Our paladin serves the god of law and calmed the situation with the “help” of the town guard. They then tracked down the drunk man that had told them about the lumberjacks who begged them to help find them as one of them was his brother. So they headed off.

At the lumberjack camp our paladin detected evil from one of the cabins. they found a wolf in the cabin trying to get at a small bespectacled man in a suit. Justicar Miles Cyrus then used his new favourite ability ” I am the Law” to demand that who he was.

He then spilled the beans that he was a servant of the dead king. The justicar was going to note down his name in his book of sins and let him off with a warning of they led them to the dead king but he betrayed them and tried to escape in a part of the Forrest where all the tree’s are dead. The paladin caught up with him and dispensed justice. In the middle of the cultists speech about how we would serve his king in death as he had in life ,the paladin player yelled “double tap” and caved in the guy’s skull. It was brilliant

They found their way to a gigantic dead tree with chanting emanating from it.

The found an entrances and then ended up face to face with 40 cultists and a cult leader perming some ritual over some bodies causing them to merge.

The cultists held off our heroes for longer enough as the corpses forces a gigantic scorpion with 2 tails made of the dead and armoured in bony plates

It was immediately nicknamed the Scorpseion by my players 😀

During the fight the lead cultist escaped through a portal that was opened by some of the lesser cultists .

The cleric got I’m a brawl with several cultists while the paladin and the berserker fought the scorpsion. It destroyed the paladins shield however it got wedged on one of the tails making it less dangerous. Both of them lost their weapons in the monster at one point. The paladin ran to help the cleric and punched all 3 cultists to death. The paladin managed to reclaim his mace by being a badass and luckily an arcane missile from the cleric knocked a sword free from thr monster which the berserker used to bisect it and then stab it in the face…. Killing it.

They looted a chest which contained a surprisingly light wooden shield that gave of feelings of power. And a gemstone on a chain worth 1600 coins. The journey back was uneventful.

At the town they reported they were too late to save the brother. The guy asked for time to grieve. At this point our cleric announced loudly “should we tell him that his brother became part of a scorpseion. Sobbing ensued. I had the end of session there.

Had tonnes of funnels playing the various townsfolk!

If the names Ragnor the Bloody, Miles Cyrus or Pastor ring a bell. Stop reading this now please

So . I’m gaming a game and I’m the first session they fought a necromancer who is an inky cloud that can possess his undead and has shadow magic. Also his undead were mostly modified with metal plates and weapons grafted in and can make themselves smarter and more agile by eating a corpse.

I’m trying to think of a front for him and what his endgame might be. I have a niggling idea about him trying to create life with his necromancy. OR that he was an ancient king and is going to retake his throne and use some sort of ritual to convert everyone in the countries borders into a zombie.

I’m new to this and could use some help with (a) making a front and (b) figuring out his end game and some cool things for him to be scheming

So I had my first session today. I started them off ina  room with something trying to break in and anotehr door that was caved in. They decided they were there to investigate strange noises and locals dissapearing.

The thing trying to get them turned out to be a troll. So

So they cleared the rubble but ended up fighting the troll anyway ( the thief devastated it with a well timed backstab)

They then healed a peasant they found and continued down the path that had been caved in. Then they split up…. So the bard and the berserker went one way. and the thief and the cleric went the other.

So the beserker went went into a mad blood rage and ended up diving through some tunnels to murder goblins. He ended up fighting some undead with cleaver arms (which he absolutely wrecked. Twas awesome)…. then he acidentley killed the peasant in his rage. while the bard was on his own a swarm of zombies started slowly chasing him. and one enhanced itself with the corpse of the peasant. It became intelligent and badass.  Unfortunaly the necromancer that was ocntrolling them possessed one and managed to kill the bard. The bard declined his deal with death and made a paladin.

Together the Beserker, cleric and theif defeated the possessed zombie but the necormancer’s conciousness fled.

They met the paladin (who is hunting said necromancer and is immune to the shadow magic that killed the bard and can sense necromancy at a great distance) who felt a tingle in his mind. They went back to the starting room where they then fought the Necro-troll… A troll possessed with by the necromancer. the paladin took a massive shadow lance to the face using his immunity and then hit the troll so hard it fell down…. nearly onto the thief ( who got a hard bargain of drop your rapier and get away…. or get your leg caught underneath its bulk and take some damage. he chose to drop the rapier.) The beserker then flat out murdered the troll by stabbing it in the face .

We ended up with the town giving them 25 coins each for their bravery, the beserker mourning his bard friend and not telling anyone about how he killed the peasant (he only remembers fragments due to the rage)

All in all it went ok. Got some good feeback from my mate about gming afterwards as well. really looking forward to next time 😀

Hey there. Do I need to have a front prepared for the first session or is it something that I do AFTER the first session when I know some more about the world and the characters
