For this session I wanted to try out the Pathfinder Flip Tiles I mentioned having bought recently. Prepping the map for this one involved playing with the tiles while nobody was around, and taking a photo of the layout I decided to go with. Then I opened the photo up in a paint program and […]

At the end of Part I, the players were asked to choose from among the three scenarios in part II they’d prefer to do first. It’s also the one requiring the most extensive planning and written up in the most detail. After working on it on and off for about a week, I stayed up

In contrast to previous sessions where some external event happens and players decide how to enter into the situation, this one started with the action already in progress – action which, it would very quickly become clear, was going to go badly for the D-Listers.

If characters get together quickly to investigate, they’ll get close enough to see

This one was thrown together quickly at the end of a busy week. I had tinkered a little with the Flower Child NPC because I liked the name in a cheesy/goofy kind of way, so I decided to throw him into the mix here to flesh out Caustic‘s little band a bit more. I did

The D-Listers have set up regular patrols through town. While Velocimancer and Aria are out making their rounds, they’re approached, surprisingly, by another Saurid – the first Velocimancer has met on our world. This Saurid has chosen “Natalie” as her human name, and says she’s heard all about the D-Listers and their famous leader, Velocimancer,

Two weeks after the events of chapter 4, all characters have received certified letters confirming their licenses have been approved. Another text message goes out to everyone, but this time from Vinny. “Meet @ Donut shop @ noon – important surprise”. When everyone arrives he seems very excited and asks them to stand in the
