I’m continuously clapping my hands together for my belief in fairies & Tinkerbell
I play, write for, edit articles, DM (& occasionally roll Death Saves) with my tabletop crew & at conventions for D&D
Hubby to Liz & Dog Daddy to Loki J Pup
We ran The Wedding at Ravenloft last Halloween and at the reception, the DM said;
“The devil Strahd slowly rises majestically to face his collective guests. His taloned hand raises a goblet filled with the finest wine, cracking his mouth to reveal his fangs & sighs…
“Cake, anyone?”

“Tears are the memories which the heart refuses to give up. And that is not a terrible thing”
~ The gallant Pirate King, Sir Turnip Gladwell Mordecai P. Bafflebelch, the beloved Bard of Barovia & Duke of Whitburn

Strength, hope & hearts to you all 💜

“Well Turnip, you know what they say. Revenge is a dish that is best served cold”
“True Hunny Bunny. Much like Gazpacho Soup!”
“Why?”
“It’s bally awful, old bean!”

Nothing makes our players panic more than a time limit or deadline!

With only 12 hours on the clock, from dusk until dawn, the Great Baldur’s Gate Scavenger Hunt is on!

The competition from the other teams is almost as big a challenge as the hunt itself

Oh by the Holy Mayor McCheese
My limited collection Monster Vault 2 by @koboldpress.com Kickstarter just arrived
(And with a game session tomorrow that involves a monster hunt, the Platinum Accords are screwed 😱)
The collection is‘monstrous’

The rules are set, the entry waivers are signed
The Guild Hall leader has her list of scavenger prizes assigned
The teams are all waiting for the sound of the Guild bell
To race into the streets of Baldur’s Gate & raise Hell

Battling with Strahd, Sir Turnip has never used his Countercharm ability so often, in fact I would say he used it more in the BBEG battle than in any other time of the campaign

The Devil defeated, the battle was hard
But the Platinum Accords have bested Strahd
As the Mists swirl around them to take them home
A ballad is struck up by their faithful Gnome

Lord Strahd glared with distain at the Gnome Bard standing over the bloodied corpse of his manservant, Rahadin & hissed
“A man should fight with honour!”
Sir Turnip shrugged & replied
“Why? He did, old ducky, & now he without head & unlucky”

You complete & utter bloodsucking bar steward 🙄
Looks like Sir Turnip is going to make the situation even more “hairy”

Sorry to hear about the cancellation
Our DM has run one on one solo games previously on the rare occasion where we have low numbers but nothing that would disrupt the campaign story arc
I actually played this story last weekend which was really fun
November 2, 2025 at 2:09 AM
Well, stripe me purple & call me Grimace!
I had Sir Turnip do his ‘farty’ Stinking Cloud against some Vampire Spawn as a distraction BUT it turns out that they ARE affected by the Poisoned Condition???
I had assumed that all Undead were immune to Poison?
Blessed be the eggy whiff whiff!!

The vows are now sealed, the deed is done
Under Barovia’s silvery moon, far from the Sun
The reception is to start, our heroes invited
As Strahd toasts his bride, with his love unrequited

“And so the battle is about to start,
So who smelt it, dealt it,
And here’s my fart!”

“Turnip really has got this Hag curse rhyme thing wrapped up, doesn’t he?”

Stinking Cloud, ok, it’s Poisoned Condition but a great way to disable minions, plus the Heavily Obscured effect is handy too

A dinner with the Devil, a meeting with Strahd
He sits & mocks our heroes & then taunts the Bard
A toast he proposes, to his future wife
To stop the ceremony, he must lose his life

A carriage draws close from within the Mists
“The groom requires you” a voice insists
And as the Platinum Accords mount the spectral ride
They know they must stop Strahd before he takes his bride

The chimes of midnight, the town square rings
A breath of darkness, Mists of Barovia brings
Unholy binding, a timed legacy fulfilled
The devil Strahd must be stopped or killed

As Hallows Eve rises like a full Moon
A raven flies down out of the gloom
Within its beak an invite held
Beckoning our heroes to another World
To Ravenloft they must depart
To drive a stake through evil’s heart 💜
