    The party spent a lot of money for this and knights from all over the viscounty, and even further away, from Veluna and Furyondy arrived! Among them an old friend, the paladin known as Jean-Pierre from Veluna city who helped them fight of a band of thieves two years ago.

    Jean-Pierre managed to prevail in the jousting competition, Korin won the melee so the party was joined by the second man standing, a fighter named Pykus and the thieves' competition was won by a thief called Gorovosok.

THOUGHTS AFTER THE SESSION:

    This was a different session than the rest obviously. We decided to have some fun and use the jousting rules of chainmail for the tournament. In every round one of us was picking one fighter and someone else the other. We were typing in the chat the defensive and attack choice and in the count of 3 we posted it.

    It was very fun! After a while we had all picked up a strategy and were lancing it out! The rules of jousting are really cleverly made. You must try them at least one, it's a really funny minigame.

    For the meele we decided to have each one of us pick and control 4 fighters and have them all in a pit. To speed it up we were using the chainmail rules to see if a fighter hits his opponent using the combat table, even though out minis were representing one man and not 10. Fighters of higher level had more "lives" equal to their hd. 

    After a while Mia's player had one level 1 character win by staying out of every confrontation and having the rest of knocking each other out! Korin easily defeated by he made it in the team! That of course might not me good for the party, since they now gained a level 1 fighter but it was fun nevertheless!

    Finally, for the thieves' competition, Mia's player picked up a small module of a dungeon full of traps. The rest of us used thieves to bypass the traps and the thief who had deactivated the most traps joined the expedition! 

    These mini games were a nice break from our usual gaming! Now, the party is ready to fight some dragons! Wish them luck!

Campaign Report: OSR, Quickly (A West Marches Campaign using Whitehack 3e)

  WHAT IS THIS?     In my OSRIC campaign we have a small break of two weeks and since I am up to date with the session reports of that campaign, I will say a few things about other games that I participated in. This one in particular is one that I hold dear in my heart because it was my first OSR campaign that I' ve played and the first OSR sessions that I was a part in! I joined this games discord server on 2021 and played in this game for more than a year! So, I will describe what we did and how it went! THE RULESET     As you can see from the title (and the image at the top of the post), we used Whitehack 3e for this campaign. I have already said that my ruleset of choice is OSRIC/ ADnD 1e but I am open to try other games, just like I like playing games other than DnD from time to time. What I want is to have rules that are consistent, help you understand the spirit of the game and provide you a specific goal.     Whitehack does that amazingly well!...

Cauldron OSR Eurocon 2024 Day I

             Wonderfull news! Me and two players from the OSRIC campaign attended the European OSR convention known as Cauldron in Germany! I will cover on this post how I experienced this truly amazing convention! Bare in mind that some details might have be mistaken because I didn't expect to write a report about it but I am so fired up by the con that I really want to share as much as I can! Also there will be major spoilers for every module I was involved in so be warned that if you want to play them in the future, skip carefully that part! Let's go then! THE TRIP     I began the journey to Germany from Athens where I live. I met Nico, my only compatriot in this adventure, at the airport on Thursday morning, the first day of the convention. I must admit that in the beggining I was a little sceptical about this whole expedition. I didn't know any of the guys involved in person besides Nico, I hadn't been in Germany before so we were really...

Session 50: Battle Of The Iron Wood

  PCs: sir Korin Clubfoot, dwarf, F6 Dame Mia the elf, T5/MU4 sir Norbor the half-orc, F5 PARTY'S HENCHMEN: Cleon, F4 Falhed, R1 Gravoldel, R1 Briu, T1 Vailbezal, I1 Larth, P1 Rhadum, R2 Jared, C1 Bierduth, C1 Zasti, MU1 Rotoris the elf, MU1 10 light horsemen 2 mounted crossbowmen SESSION RECAP:     The party starts preparing for the attack. The fact that a powerful magic user was part of the group that they were about to face was very worrisome. So they decide to use Mia's stealthiness as well as a potion of invisibility and a potion of undetectable poison that they had from previous adventures to take him out. The plan is to have an invisible Mia approach them when they prepare the meal of the day and poison the food that is intented for the magic user. Their prisoners informed them for the time that they usually eat and also for the fact that the wizard eats alone at his tower and one of his servants brings him his food.     However, the group knew that some ...
