This past weekend, we managed to assemble the group again to work on the Barrow of the Forgotten King. Chris wasn’t with us, so Chad ran his character as well as the one I had used for the first adventure. While the party didn’t make all that much progress through the crypts, I […]

After far too long a delay, we finally managed to get all the kids together to continue our foray into the Barrow of the Forgotten King. It was good to get back in the DM chair and delve back into the module. I started with a brief The Story So Far segment, then […]

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 […]

When Brianna hit level two with her wizard, Angel Moonwhisper, I took her down to Game HQ to select her miniature. Sadly, the one she had her heart set on was out of stock. Although it was listed as discontinued, the man behind the counter said he could put in an order […]

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 […]

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, […]

This past Saturday, following up on the resounding success of her first gaming session, Brianna and I joined Chad, Lizzi, and Chad’s nephews for another one. While the first session was the one-off adventure included in the D&D Basic Game, complete with pre-made characters, this time we were going to all roll up new […]

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 […]

For most gamers, there is one memory more precious than any other: their first gaming session. It’s been well over two decades, but I definitely still remember mine. My father bought the game Dungeons & Dragons for me when I was around seven, helped my brother and me create characters, and acted as […]
