💭 What happened last week? 💭
Last Week in Game Jam!!!
We had a fantastic time with Game Design Society this week making One Page RPGs! There were some great creations from all, and some great games made and played. Look at all these happy creators!
Last Week in LARP!!!
Ziman Umeira, a Reeve, gathered the two people he trusts , Valerie the hunter and Sir Darion, knight, to help him track down a powerful spirit. Together, they ventured into the forest, encountering all manner of horrifying things, such as moving statues, an invisible spirit messing with their heads, making them fear and fight and run from each other, and cultists. As they trekked deeper, they began to see visions - what appeared to be wishes granted by this spirit. Deep, deep into the forest, ignoring a final warning to not proceed from an oddly friendly spirit, the party seemed to encounter two wilds dragons. The ensuing battle ended with the spirit they were hunting, Oath, appearing and destroying the dragons. It temporarily tore Valerie and Sir Darion's souls from their bodies, in order to talk privately with Ziman, who made his wish and was sent away, invigorated with the belief that he was now strong enough to kill Archbaron Winter.
Last Week in RPGs!!!
- Sector-C4N - The party return to the planets spaceport to collect their payment. However they found out the authorities are incompetent and haven't verified we completed the mission. Instead the PCs get to enjoy the local festival of Thankchristmas! Kalina (PC) buys a large rock (more of a small boulder really) with a smiley face on and Astra (PC) gets a bracelet (made of rocks, the locals like their rocks). The party meets up with one of the passengers and socialise at a bar. Upon heading back Astra, who'd drunk too much, runs into a reporter and manages to make it to national news (Seriously do they have nothing better to report on?). In the morning they get the payment verified and collect it (With a 50% tax taken off...)! Having finished up on this planet, the party is ready to move to new horizons!

Extra Bonus End Bit
Last week, our Pokemon friends were up and at 'em, and of course that letter scramble Pokemon was Magikarp! I love that dude! This week on 'Feldspar Buttons Firebreath III's Funky Beloved Fun (the obnoxiously named minigame)' it's time to unleash your inner rules lawyer. What is wrong about this D&D 5e (2014) Ruling?
'Every foot of movement in difficult terrain costs 1 extra foot. This rule is true even if multiple things in a space count as difficult terrain. Low furniture, rubble, undergrowth, steep stairs, snow, and shallow bogs are examples of difficult terrain. The space of a hostile creature, also counts as difficult terrain.'
Hydrate, don't diedrate, have a good week, and I'll see you next time! 💜
