    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!

Cauldron OSR Eurocon 2026

  INTRODUCTION     One more October arrived, one more Cauldron is about to happen! Having closed our tickets as early as possible, the Greek Phalanx made the journey to Germany once again! The Greek Trio     The journey there gets easier and easier. We are starting to gain enough XP in delving the DB dungeons to avoid the majority of its traps. For example we avoided getting tickets for the ICE train because we 've learned that there is a big chance to lose it due to it arriving ultra late and end up using the normal train, just 4 times its price. We also realised that we can take a daily pass for 5 people for a little more than 50 euros, allowing us to use all the trains from the Airport to Malburg, so we will be using that from now on. Even if we are just three, that's still a better price than everything we 've tried so far.     We reached and met all the usual suspects that delve this con, alongside some new ones and got ready for battle!!!

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...
