This session was a lot of fun and the players are getting into it! This game is going very well and teaches me – and the players – a lot.I was waiting to edit the videos of the next sessions, but HD crashed and I’ve lost them, but here’ the account, far from my anxieties…

I’ve had a lot of experience playing the game, but this was my first successful attempt of actually running it (there were two “didn’t make it past character creation” episodes in my past).

Session 1: Northern Rolke, a traveling Merchant's endeavors. Next component, an enchanted Amboriyon sword in the cliffside crypts, tended to by a priest losing his grip on reality. We begin with Wulf (Fisherman Wizard), Bern (L. Entertainer), Lutz (Priest), and another who regrettably had to leave the session early. They travel a bit north of the…
