Game #8 - Impressions
Well, another “late night game” so to speak is behind us - everyone was a bit more tired than usual, so the game progressed only for one day in game time.
Someone had burned off every freshman’s eyebrows, except the Player Characters’, who had been sleeping inside a protective barrier.
The lecturer explained in the morning lecture […]

Game #7 - Impressions
Go squirrels!
Well, more like, talk about the bad luck continuing. Mauge’s character, Roland, has had an awful time with his magic studies - I mentioned earlier how he managed to get Detect Magic wrong, detecting something else altogether.

Some highlights […]

Game #6 - Impressions
Whoa.
I mean, games sometimes surprise even the hardened GM. Tonight was one of those sessions. Game 6 might be a nice spot to call a “turning point”, as all of the characters’ Dark Secrets have been revealed to the “audience.” The group consists of a oathbound Imperan officer, an assassin, an amnesiac and a heretic.

Game #5 - Impressions
Too damn short game session.
In quick rundown - Characters got to study, in D&D terms, Detect Magic. Some got it (Marcus, Larsa’s Character, is an expert now), some didn’t. One even managed to get it wrong. Marcus’ past as a vowed officer of the Imperan army was briefly mentioned in the flashbacks. The fact that […]
