96 – Mortality is a Big Deal for Me (ggnoRE:CAP Alabamia 5)

An intimate session. John/Evenstar and Tim/Cleophus pick up some hirelings and explore the dragon shrine again.

Henchmen

Jeff Rients made a lovely table/mechanic for acquiring hirelings and henchmen. You can grab the pdf that Daniel made of Jeff’s rules here. It looks a little something like this.

Skerples

Skerples made a fantastic post taking snippets about historical rulers and turning them into random tables. Plus we’re continuing to play this session in the Tomb of the Serpent Kings.
