The only games that I write up are the ones that I am running, but we are running others as well. We are very fortunate to have a group of skilled and dedicated players and referees, enough to run 4 games over 2 weeks, each in a different campaign.
Matt is running a campaign he calls “The Outlaws Doom” in 3rd Age Mirkwood, before the great war. We’re using Navah rules but with Middle Earth modifications. Our characters are Flori Darkblade (dwarvish fighter), Rumrammr (drunken minstrel of Dimriff Dale, and possible Beorning), Airabar (priest of Varda Yavanna), Zhân-Zhur-Zhân (Drúedain hunter and companion of Airabar), and Zhân”s hunting thorn. We are escorting a caravan from Buhr Algra to Buhr Widufiras and have repelled one ambush so far.
David is running “Idylls of the Rat King” using AD&D 1e in Aerath. The party is operating out of Silverton and has delved into the abandoned silver mines several times. Our characters are Kurghal (half-orc fighter/thief), Liota Willowroot (human cleric of Meelkor), Wurkdurk (orcish thief/cleric of Crypticus), Duncan Marshal (human ranger), and Fear Runda (human druid). Kurghal is as bloodthirsty as one might imagine, and collects goblin ears which he wears as a necklace (currently made up of 68 ears). With a CHA of 3, he has somehow maintained a relationship with Thalki, a dwarf lady in Archbridge. Liota finally proved herself to her high priestess by establishing a shrine in Silverton, and was rewarded by a festival run by the visiting heavy-handed delegation from Archbridge. Wurkdurk was recently nearly killed by a horde of feral goblin children, and is seriously considering an early retirement from the adventuring biz. Duncan was always mentally unstable and considered himself a revenant, even before his recent death and subsequent restoration to life. There’s no telling what is going on in his head now. Fear is the newest member, and is even nuttier than Duncan. Fear likes to take off his socks and use them for impromptu puppet shows. He also likes to be at the front of the party, so we may not have to suffer his antics for too long.
Possible upcoming campaigns are a more dangerous version of “The Caverns of Tsojanth,” which Jack is considering, and a Traveller style game using Navah rules, which the other Matt is developing.
