Strange  World of Random Doom write ups

Episode 3

I will be redoing this as I have I think made rather a mess of it mostly by writing it whilst very tired and not at all coherent, however owing to the kind work of  Paul "Zarni" Roberts of the Big Bang Burger Bar who has set up an RSS freed I have all the different versions of it I have posted recently so I will be able to sort the mess out into a better narrative and add the bits I have missed out. However I will likely have to wait to do that till after tomorrows session. Which I will be taking notes of during the game as well as more and defiantly more systematic screen shots of the game to go with it.

It is there fore almost certain that the write up for Strange World of Random Doom 4 will be done before the revised version of the write up of the  Strange World of Random Doom 3 appologies for any confusion this might cause but I have been rather over doing it and It has caught up with me 

However I will recover and be back on at it soon enough.

Getting on with it

Getting on with it

This will be limited as I will be working this morning as always  and Episode 4 for A Strange World of Random Doom is on this evening so that will put an end to doing any useful work  other than making notes about that game & Screen shots.

I will however try to get something published to day from Thursday's session for whilst I did some work in that direction yesterday off line I am not entirety sure on reading it I was actually as recovered form the recent bout of over work now I read it back again.

Things to expect if not today then soon
  • Write up of episode Nineteen - with Than's Maps and diagrams
  • Master Spread sheet for Episode Ninteen
  • Experience honour and fame awards for Episode Nineteen 
  • Updating of the Story So far, Experience, Honour and Fame  pages
  • Some play mats for the encounters in Episode Nineteen
  •  Finishing off Coradwin's of line character  sheet

Episode Twenty Preview

Episode Twenty Preview 

For this Episode  we switch back to a few days earlier and the poor rat  beset trapped souls under the new and see if they can win free, which if they do will be just in time as we now know to discover that there town is besieged by hordes of foul goblins and no doubt worse. For surely stupid lazy creatures like goblins could never besiege a town and much less do so with any prospect of success, unless some greater power motivated them......

Watch this space for further developments and mean while a full write up of Episode Nineteen and a veritable raft supporting posts in the mean time.

A Strange world of Random Doom 4

All right so the live write up idea was a flop because I got engrossed in the game and forgot to do the bullet points as we went along so its going to be a normal bullet point write up with lots of screen shots taken during the game

A Strange world of Random Doom 4 - write up

A Strange world of Random Doom 4

All right so the live write up idea was a flop because I got engrossed in the game and forgot to do the bullet points as we went along so its going to be a normal bullet point write up with lots of screen shots taken during the game

Fame update for recent Episodes

Update 

not done this fro a while as there have been relatively little to note on this front but have done this update largely to remind my self that I need to keep track of this 

Episode XVI
Again no real change  though the fame of the company is fading it has not actually done so  yet, only amongst the Goblins is their reputation holding up as  associates of the wielder of the dreaded Groin Seeker & Ogre Bane continue to attempt to spread fear of themselves amongst their foes

Urban Interlude Part IV&V
No  change to the situation with regard to fame for this one as the  majority of the company are still trapped in the unexpected sewers and  not enough time has passed for Quirrel’s recently acquired fame to begin to fade
