Recap 2, Group Photo

Did I mention that one of my players is an incredible artist? Over the course of a few sessions, he hand-drew all the characters!

In this session, they are joined by another adventurer, who plays a dragonborn fighter. That rounds out the party as a high elf Great Old One Warlock, half-elf Circle of the Land Druid, half-orc Totem Barbarian, wood elf Thief Rogue, and copper dragonborn Battlemaster Fighter. Since everyone else has darkvision, I just decided that it was a recessive racial trait that the dragonborn managed to inherit, too.
In this session, they try to track down some missing townsfolk, and end up in some serious doo-doo. Also, they decided about halfway through to just start calling this cult "Catholics." I ran with it.

Homebrew Campaign Recap 1

I have been running a homebrew DnD campaign for about a year now. The players are, with one exception, guys I would never have expected to be into the game, and they are loving it. It's my first time DMing, and actually my first time playing Dungeons and Dragons (though I do play as a character in a different Dungeon World game)--so there are loads of pretty standardized encounters and settings as I moved along the learning curve for making things more intricate/exciting. I've also been making some custom monsters, with various degrees of success. It's been loads of fun.

As part of my game, I've been doing extended session recaps, since it is often a month or more between our marathon, 4-8 hour sessions. Here's a recap of our first session. I tried to get them to go to a tavern in a "Bog Standard" town. Most of them went to another thavern I had to make up on the spot. Etc.
