Kids Campaign

With the completion of the Scourge of the Howling Horde module, it fell upon me to take the reins as the dungeon master for the kids campaign. I, too, selected a premade adventure, the Barrow of the Forgotten King. Using the standard adventure hooks, it linked up well, and offered the characters the opportunity to gain a couple more levels and the players the opportunity to gain more confidence in their gameplay.

I got to spend some extra time with Brianna today when I managed to take off work early to pick her up from the Girl Scout day camp she's attending. We got back to the city and finished with dinner early enough that we could make a run down to Game HQ. Way back when I introduced her to gaming, I told her that when she got her character up to level two, and showed that she was a committed player, I would buy her a miniature for that character. Chad, who gave me the idea, took his nephews down for their rewards after our session on Saturday, but I wanted to make sure Brianna and I had plenty of time for the search. After all, it took me well over an hour to find the right Randall. Fortunately, Chad had told me that I should look in the miniatures catalog Game HQ kept at the desk, choose from there, then go to the wall to find it. That would greatly speed things up, since they had them more or less in numerical order. So Brianna and I headed for the counter immediately, but paused there for more pressing concerns.

Yesterday we got together with Chad, Lizzi, and Chad's nephews for our second session in the Scourge of the Howling Horde adventure. Brianna and I, having come from the Watonga cheese outlet, were quite pleased to be providing cheese, buffalo summer sausage, and crackers for snacks. Once were were suitably supplied with snacks, drinks, and dice, it was time to pick up where we left off last time.

Brianna's First Dice

Yesterday was the big day for my daughter. Her first gaming session was back in November, and now that things are settled down from the holidays, we've scheduled things with Chad to start a real campaign with fresh characters. I had originally told her when she hit second level, we would celebrate by going down to Game HQ to buy her a set of her own dice and a miniature for her character. But when we received a gift certificate to the store from Liz and Matt for Christmas, I decided we'd take that down there before the campaign starts up and go ahead and get the dice.
