We have begun a new D&D 5e campaign here at the TGG. Our first installment sees a group of friends leave their hometown, Thistledown, bound for the Reapers’ Faire at Tarrigan’s Landing.

As you would expect, there is a bit of difficulty encountered along the way.

The Players

Scott – Frago Proudfoot, Halfling Ranger

Dan – Rhaeghar, Dragonborn Cleric

Dave – Baldor Forkbeard, Dwarf Fighter

Nathan – Aradin Palladium, Human Wizard

Drew – Sszzyr, Drow Rogue

I’m using Obsidian Portal to track the game, please check out the link below…

Thanks for the recording, Hal & Thistledunians. 🙂

It was nice to hear more of the story behind the Thistledown name, even though it’s been mentioned in passing before. 🙂

You’re welcome and there’s more on the way. We’re playing session 10 tomorrow night.  🙂

We are using 3D terrain and miniatures for this game.  Here’s a picture of the combat at the ferry…

 

hmmm…can’t seem to get the link to work….

Are you counting in binary, or did you just stockpile the first 9 episodes before you started releasing them? 😉

Those are from a later session, but yes  🙂

 

I’ll get this thing figured out…keeps telling me I can use that extension (.jpg) on this community…any ideas?  🙂

[ThistledownJohn]

Maybe this will work…

 

Hurray!  So here it is.  The PCs are on the barge (represented by the cardboard rectangles) and the bandits are waiting on the far bank.

[Pencil-Monkey]

Neat! 🙂 Is that one of those cardboard houses that you can buy from Games Workshop in the background?

Yes, exactly.  I’ve had it since the WFRP 1st edition days.

In some parts of America that would qualify it to be listed as an historic monument 😀

In this part of America, and at my advanced age,  I think I qualify as a historic monument.  😀

Excellent to hear a home brew world.

Looking forward to more sessions.

Thank you!

 

We are recording session 10 tonight, so there is more to come.  My Highmarch setting is snowballing as we go along.  Luckily, the Obsidian Portal site is helping me to stay organized.  😀

There’s even a handful of handy maps, session summaries, and a plethora of character portraits, including several that appear to have been, ahem, “borrowed” from Baldur’s Gate II. 😉

Yes…”borrowed”.  I’ll give them back when I’m done. Really, I will.  😉
