Glass, Shadows, and Pulp

June 12, 2018

Spectral Stalkers… still In my last update, I had found my way to the Ziggurat World and watched a silica serpent eat somebody alive, and befriended some sea creatures who think I can save their queen. I have climbed the cliff to the second level of this world. I see some towers in the distance […]

Elf Sacrifices, Sea Monsters, and Glass Castles

June 11, 2018

Is this my fifth day of Spectral Stalkers? My sixth? I was excited to see Peter Darvill-Evans’ name on this, but the clip-show channel-flipping thing is really becoming tedious. So when the Aleph offered me the opportunity to just hurry up and move on with the quest, I took it. This is likely a mistake, […]

Drow and Davros

June 10, 2018

We continue being Spectrally Stalked as we travel the cosmos in a series of vignettes, courtesy of the Aleph. I have so far seen a giant library outside of the universe, a crappy version of my home world where I was almost robbed, a chess game in which I was a pawn, a clay golem, […]

A Deadly Game and Pottery Gone Awry

June 8, 2018

We are still playing Spectral Stalkers, in which I was given the entire universe inside a sphere, by Lucifer. Long story, don’t ask. By looking into it, I was transported randomly and now find myself standing on a chessboard… a living pawn! The description here is quite vivid: the other pawns are either worn out […]

Stalked by Spectres

June 5, 2018

I am taking a brief break from the Caverns of the Snow Witch, because frankly it’s ticking me off. I grab a book at random off the shelf, and… Spectral Stalkers I have played this one before, and already have it on the website. It’s written by Peter Darvill-Evans, and illustrated by Tony Hough – […]

It’s a Long Way to Stonebridge

May 31, 2018

In our last adventure, The Snow Witch went down without a fight, and I killed some critter guarding her loot, and the locals engaged in some lovely interpretive dance to express their joy of being freed from the witch. But now we need to keep moving forward, to find our way out of the Caverns […]

Escape and Death in a Far Away Land

December 29, 2017

Shadow in the Sand was so much fun, and I saw so little of the book last time, that we should do it again. This time I have 14 combat, and am loaded out as a tank: mindblast and healing, sword skill and a shield. Rawr! We arrive in Barrakeesh to find the king dead, […]

Finding the Tomb of the Zakhan

December 22, 2017

In our last segment, Lone Wolf was in Vassagonia trying to find the Tomb of the Zakhan, in which the fabled Book of the Magnakai is said to lie. The Darklord Haakon is also looking for it, so as to destroy it and prevent other people from becoming Lone Wolf. After a really surprisingly fortunate […]

Treachery in the Desert

December 20, 2017

We’re still continuing through Shadow On The Sand, book 5. Lone Wolf traveled to the land of Vassagonia, only to find that there was no peace treaty at all but a new king making a deal with a Darklord. The Darklord wants Lone Wolf dead of course, but also knows the whereabouts of the fabled […]

Arrested in Vassagonia!

December 19, 2017

In my last posting, Lone Wolf had arrived as a peace envoy to sign a treaty. As we arrived in Vassagonia, we learn that the Zakhan (king) has died and that the new one is not at all well liked. He’s off my Christmas list on page 1, when he has me arrested. I don’t […]

Far Away to Vassagonia

December 16, 2017

After a hiatus for other studies and duties, I don my green cloak and re-enter the world of Magnamund. In our last Lone Wolf adventure, The Chasm of Doom, an army from Vassagonia was in Sommerlund fighting for Lord Vashna. The Zakhan (king) of Vassagonia was horrified to discover that a rogue warlord had done […]

Still Mapping the Chasm of Doom

October 22, 2017

After nearly a month, I picked up the book to get back to mapping the rest of it. This is four times in a row, out of four books, that I’ve been surprised and impressed with the amount of detail and the complexity of pathways which Joe managed to cram into each of these books. […]

Rescued From The Chasm of Doom

September 28, 2017

In last night’s episode, our party was overwhelmed by a small army of bandits and driven into a mine. My companions were wiped out by some vicious attack cats, and I eventually found my way out of the mine and to the surface. The city of Ruanon is destroyed. Some soldiers are defending the last […]

Ambushes and Mines

September 27, 2017

Another run through Chasm Of Doom.  I reused my character from previously: 17 combat, 24 endurance, the usual ranger skills, short sword and mind blast. Again, the strange man with the poem, but this time we decide to skip out on the performers and just stay on mission. Same for the tavern that gets rated […]

Chasm of Doom, searching for the search party

September 26, 2017

Tonight I start The Chasm Of Doom, the fourth of the Lone Wolf series. I’ll be using the character which survived the Caverns of Kalte. I have a full backpack of food left from my journey to Kalte, 17 combat, and 20 for endurance. This character is your classic ranger: sixth sense and tracking, camouflage, […]

Mapping the Caverns of Kalte

September 22, 2017

I have played through this one many more times over the last few days, in the process of mapping it all out for the website. As with the first two, Joe and Gary managed to put a lot of complexity into this book. There are four distinct entrances to the Cavern. The glacier path really […]

Victory in the Caverns of Kalte

September 20, 2017

I rolled up a new character… again. The last two, one highly competent and accomplished and the other mediocre, ran afoul of some truly unfortunate dice rolls in combat, dying on their first few steps into the Caverns of Kalte. This fella though, made it largely through a combination of dumb luck. Starting off: a […]

A Warrior’s Death in the Caverns of Kalte

September 18, 2017

My brave Kai warrior has survived the first two books now, in the meantime having met the king, liberated the Sommerswerd, and been given land and title. With a 19 combat and a +8 sword, he’s destined to go far. As far as the north freakin’ pole, it would seem. A wizard I’ve never heard […]

Starving in the Caverns of Kalte

September 17, 2017

I missed my old character. A 19 combat goes a long way. But seriously bad luck went far as well, and he is now a Kai-sicle floating in in an underground river. I started by rolling up a new character for Caverns of Kalte. A 14 combat is mediocre, but after the last play where […]

Fire On The Water… Extinguished

September 8, 2017

Finally, after many tries, I completed Fire On The Water, book number 2 of the Lone Wolf series. I rolled up a new character who had a combat skill of 19, which really improves the odds during combat! This time, I knew right where to go. Pack extra food instead of a shield (having a […]

Two Deaths in One Hour

September 7, 2017

Fire on the Water (Lone Wolf, book 2) is just tearing me up. Two playthroughs in the last hour, both very doomed to near-immediate failure.   Play One I rolled a combat skill of 10, and 27 endurance. This means that when I encountered the ruffian on page 1, I got ripped all the way […]
