I told you to be FRIDAY

Dodging missiles.  Fleeing the hordes of filthy capitalist pig-dog fighters of the Blue Team.

Good luck SDR!

Knights of Honor has a soft spot in my cold dead heart because it is one of the few games that allows players to take the throne of Wallachia without modding 😎

I will shockingly be playing The Witcher 3 this weekend. I think it has surpassed Skyrim for me and could be my favorite RPG. Looking at Grim Dawn or Doom too, to switch it up a little.

[Toonces]

Sticking with the old standbys:  Scourge of War:Gettysburg, Mount and Blade multiplayer, and maybe some CK2 or a Total War if I get drunk.

I'm too lazy to learn anything new.  These guys scratch most of my itches anymore.  Some RO2 or ARMA3 if I need a shooty shooty FPS hookup.

[MetalDog]

Good luck, SDR.  I'm with Greybriar, hope everything comes out ok.

The big game this weekend is going to pnp D&D with real live people.  5, at least.  They are approaching an abandoned town, looking for Reidoth, the Druid.  They will find him.  Along with Dragon Cultists.  And a young Green Dragon.  The characters are all third level.  Hoping this ends well ;)

'If' you get drunk?

I'm currently having a bit of fun in Zulu Response, much more fun in Day of Infamy, and end up my night with either World of Tanks or World of Warships. I haven't been doing any hardcore wargaming lately.

Was preparing to batten down the hatches for a series of major storms passing through the PNW this weekend. Fortunately for me, unlucky for others, its looking like the really bad parts of it are going to hit north of me. Still going to rain and have some wind but its WA state, we have that all the time.

Since I'll probably have power this weekend its going to be a mix of Elite, World of Warcraft, and Crusader Kings 2 for me. Might play a few matches of World of Warships as well. Should probably do some CMANO beta testing but not sure where that will fit in.

So, the 3rd level adventurers didn't get eaten by the dragon.  They even talked it in to going away, which is what Reidoth asked them to do in exchange for him leading the way to Cragmaw Castle.  They are much the poorer for it as Venomfang shook them down for all their treasure.  Down to the last copper.

[Moreb]

Why, Dominions 4 of course.

Finally got a chance to configure Voice Attack for Elite. Was much much easier then I was expecting. Didn't have to change any of my HOTAS bindings like I was afraid I was going to have to. VA is working great, so far no major issues other then me needing to learn to speak better. Closing in on the Orion and Running Man nebulas.

In my Ackdarian campaign in Distant Worlds, I've already discovered 3 independent worlds inhabited by aliens -- 2 of which were "lost colonies" of my own race, meaning they happily accepted my governance when I colonized them.  Decent start so far.  8)

Hahahaha!!  Those poor schmucks!  ;D  Out of curiosity, was there any way they could've gotten rid of the dragon without losing all their money, or was choosing poverty pretty much their only option?

I was using it as a roleplaying opportunity.  I would have taken a coherent argument over an ability roll.  I didn't get one.  So instead of poisoning and rending them apart, I chose to relieve them of their accumulated treasure.  Which was fairly substantial.  It keeps them hungry for more adventure (read: coin) and gives them a reason to see Venomfang again in the future.

I played Dungeons and Dragons before it was cool.  ;D

I was fortunate enough to have a great group of players for several years and boy did we play a lot of D&D. Then when I moved up to St.Louis I found an even better group that would have regular sessions. The DM at the time spun the best tales and ran the tightest games Ive ever played. So much fun.

Metal, have you ever played the old Against The Cult of the Reptile Gods? If not, you should try to find it for your players because it is a fantastic module with a ton of role playing opportunity, discovery, twists etc. I ran a group through many years ago, about the last time I played. Boy I miss it.

Here is one on Amazon

Something you may add to your campaign. Maybe Venomfang put a curse on one of your party so that they are tied to him somehow and will indeed see him again in the future? Good roleplaying always led to plot advancements and side quests. Anything you can dream of.

I have been running the new 5th Edition rules.  Including the adventure provided in the introductory set.  Everyone in the group is a n00b.  Including the DM (which is me (although, I have been playing so long that Keep On the Borderlands was the introductory module with the purple Basic rules, I have never DM'd an entire campaign)).  I basically fly by the seat of my pants.  I read far enough ahead in the module, due some bookkeeping and storytelling and we call it a night.  I have it set on a map of my own design with some basic background, cultures and what not.  but everyone is really enjoying themselves.
