116 – re:play Hot Springs Island 1/

April 19, 2018April 20, 2018 / gg no re / Leave a comment

We start our actual play of Hot Springs Island, using a hacked up version of 5e to be more like the upcoming Pathfinder 2e playtest. This one explains the procedures of the book from the GM and player sides and gives some insight into what actually running the thing is like.

113 – Hexcrawls, Tomb of Annihilation, and Hot Springs Island

March 1, 2018March 2, 2018 / gg no re / Leave a comment

We discuss how hexcrawls can be compelling and how they can fail, exemplified in Tomb of Annihilation and Hot Springs Island.

Correction: Jacob contacted us to clarify that, while he did do all the layout himself, the art was done by Gabriel Hernandez, Eric Quigley, Cecil Howe, Billy Longino, Jason Thompson, Juan Ochoa, and Ron Guyett. And two others helped with the writing: Donnie Garcia and Evan Peterson.

108 (ggnoRE:PLAY) Tomb of Annihilation – Part 1

January 1, 2018January 2, 2018 / gg no re / Leave a comment

We start up a side-game of WotC’s newest module, Tomb of Annihilation. It’s a remix of Tomb of Horrors and Dwellers of the Forbidden City. Daniel’s running this because he knows it’ll be easy to run and not take a ton of time to prep because he doesn’t particularly care about getting everything right!

So listen in and see what it’s like to run this with very little prep off a laptop opened up to DnDBeyond.

John takes the GM reins for the first time and runs a session north of Alabamia.

Daniel cut in a bunch of memes in post. There’s an example of a pathcrawl being run in there too.

And we actually have an ending that wraps everything up.

Pics of John’s notes and player handout after the jump.

John apparently ran the whole thing from this
