Great Forest Welfare Society – Session 3

Our heroes hurried back to the town of Forest Lilly to warn against the actions of the evil Koopa Kompany. They brought a vial of the slime that had polluted the stream and one of the robotic insectoids that had been spraying pesticides. I previewed with 5 year old and 8 year old that this…

Starfinder Second Edition

Fantastic news from Paizo this week – at least for those of us who love Science Fantasy and Pathfinder Second Edition. Starfinder Second Edition is inbound and it will be fully compatible with Pathfinder Second Edition. Today we’re ecstatic to officially announce that Starfinder Second Edition is happening. Back in 2017 we released Starfinder, a…

Diaspora Session 6: Searching for an Elf in Sinister Ruins

Overnight Julie spends time healing wounded refugees while Grimolf steals several bludgeoning weapons so he can handle undead like those in the tunnel. More and more refugees leave the waterfall settlement, heading for the Ice Hold. Farmers are trying to harvest everything they can – ready or not – while pack animals and carts are…

Great Forest Welfare Society – Session 2

Following the pollution upstream our heroes eventually come to a stretch of forest that’s being eaten by a hoard of insects. The insects do live in the forest but no one in the group has ever seen them in such numbers! The insects also usually eat unhealthy trees but here they are eating all trees…

Diaspora Session 5: Arrival on Koh Island

The group emerges from the coral passage and find themselves on the main island. Behind them the passage exit is in a rectangular “Block” that stands upright out from the coral. Julie, alone, recognizes the Block as an advanced form of concrete. Note: This session was all theater of the mind and there was no…

Great Forest Welfare Society – Session 1

5 year old and 8 year old were ready for a new adventure after successfully completing the Pathfinder Second Edition Beginner Box. Both expressed interest in an adventure where they defended nature and rescued animals. It was also important to them that their Beginner Box characters – Luna and Meowmena – were active in the…

Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box with Kids: Sessions 5 & 6

The further adventures of Luna, Meowmena, and Khaltooie in which they reach the finale of the Beginner Box. Last time we ended with a ranged standoff that was slowly whittling both sides down in a battle of attrition. Recognizing that they were not going to win the day, at least not then, the group decided…

Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box with Kids: Sessions 3 & 4

The further adventures of Luna, Meowmena, and Khaltooie. Last time we ended things with a cliffhanger. Our heroes had come into a new chamber and found a bunch of mischievous Kobolds who were so engaged in trying to breaking and entering that they didn’t notice the newcomers. 5 year old and 8 year old were…

Pathfinder 2e Beginner Box with Kids: Sessions 1 & 2

It’s been three long years since I wrapped up my last in-person tabletop roleplay, put my miniatures into storage, and moved to another country. I did get some virtual tabletop and play-by-post in during that time, but for the most part there was very little roleplaying going on for me. This summer we were able…

Mapmaking in Fantasy Grounds Unity

In addition to The Absalom Initiation, I’m running a second group through a test run of Pathfinder Second Edition and Fantasy Grounds Unity using the Fall of Plaguestone published adventure. We had our Session Zero on Saturday and, as they finished up characters, I quickly put together a map for them to practice the basics…
