ASE home Campaign Play Reports

ASE HOME CAMPAIGN

This page aggregates my home Campaign, played in my apartment around a table.  The player are a group of five professionals in their late 20's and early 30's in a major metropolitan area of the US.  None us had played any pen and paper games since the mid 90's.  We play approximately twice a month, usually Sunday nights using the Labyrinth Lord and Labyrinth Lord Companion rulesets. 

Characters Currently in the Campaign are as Follows:

Adventurers:
Huxley McTeeth (Male Fighter)
Drusilla (Female Elf)
Nell Hazenphaffler (Female Assassin)
Lemon Jackson (Male Magic-User)
 Henchman:
Graymol the Moktar (SESSION IX on)
Gurgur the Moktar (SESSION IX on)

The Noble Dead:
Mukals (Male Fighter) - slain by an android abomination
Hump the Dwarf (Male Dwarf) - slain by an android abomination and over zealous use of flaming oil.
Grimgrim (Male Cleric) - filled full of living serpent arrows, body left to rot/gestate serpents atop a burning Steel Leviathan.

  2. Agreed. Established wisdom is that play reports are not read as much as other content, but these and the various campaign reports by Beedo were the exceptions.

    1. Well the last game was played 6 years ago so my memory is spotty and my notes mediocre. They investigate ASE level one, massacring thier way along.

      They don't get enough to satisfy thier patrons/persecutors however so the party is tried and sentenced to service on the Certopsian front. They avoid a gorgon infested tower and then discover that the snakemen have a stash of 100,000 GP in plundered gold bars hidden in a ruined pleasure dome, guard by a posessed triceratops and an elite squad of snakemen. The party steals a dune buggy with a spike thrower on it and get some gaucho cavalry to join them. The band barely kills the triceratops and snakemen troops, but in the end Drusilla, Huxley, Lemon and Nell survive to ride off with 25,000 each in gold bars, and set themselves up a tower in the North working with Drusilla's man eating relatives.
