Scarlet Citadel Session 3 – Owlbear Trouble

We’ve played two sessions of my Scarlet Citadel campaign since I posted my last write up, so here’s what happened in the 3rd session. I’ll post the 4th session later this week. Hopefully they’ll prove useful to others running the adventure. You can read earlier posts here. This post contains spoilers for Scarlet Citadel.

Tyranny of Dragons Session 7 – Wagons Roll

Tyranny of Dragons was the first full D&D 5e campaign I ran, starting back in 2015. Here’s the write up from the seventh session. Murder in Baldur’s Gate, originally published for D&D Next, came in very handy for fleshing out the city as the characters had some downtime and pursued personal goals. Begin here with Session 1 –Continue reading “Tyranny of Dragons Session 7 – Wagons Roll”

Scarlet Citadel Session 2 – A Daring Rescue

Last week, we continued with my Scarlet Citadel campaign with the second full session. Instead of writing up what happened in a “story hour” format, these posts are going to be my reflections on the game as a DM. Hopefully they’ll prove useful to others running the adventure. You can read earlier posts here. ThisContinue reading “Scarlet Citadel Session 2 – A Daring Rescue”

Empire of the Ghouls Session 26 – The Ghul King’s Catacomb

In our 26th session, we were back around the gaming table in person for the first time since February 2020! Online gaming has been good, but I’ve really missed playing together with all our friends 🙂 We continued with Chapter 4: Catacombs of the Ghul King as the characters entered the catacombs beneath the Elia family mausoleum. Here’sContinue reading “Empire of the Ghouls Session 26 – The Ghul King’s Catacomb”

Scarlet Citadel Session 1 – Into the Ruins

This week, we continued with my Scarlet Citadel campaign with the first full session. I’m doing these write ups a bit differently to the ones I’ve been posting on here for Empire of the Ghouls, Tyranny of Dragons, and Wrath of the River King. Instead of writing up what happened in a “story hour” format,Continue reading “Scarlet Citadel Session 1 – Into the Ruins”

Where is Redtower?

The Scarlet Citadel is located not far from the small town of Redtower, which serves as a handy home base for the adventurers as they explore the deadly dungeon. But unlike the Scarlet Citadel itself, this settlement is not yet on the amazing online Midgard map. So where exactly is the village located? Redtower isContinue reading “Where is Redtower?”

Tyranny of Dragons Session 5 – Elturgard

Tyranny of Dragons was the first full D&D 5e campaign I ran, starting back in 2015. Here’s the write up from the fifth session. I always like to adapt published adventures to my group and to add in cool things I’ve found in other supplements. The harpy lair is from The Book of Lairs byContinue reading “Tyranny of Dragons Session 5 – Elturgard”
