Adventures In The Forgotten Realms - Part V

From Cyan Depths is the finale to the five part Forgotten Realms/MtG crossover. It is the culmination of Tyreus' plan for power and domination. Using the artifact once belonging to his grandmother he has constructed a strange castle on the shore of Highstart Lake and seeks to recruits mercenaries to his side. The party must infiltrate the castle, deal with the elementals and mercenaries within, and stop Tyreus before he can solidify his power.

Two new stats blocks are included in this adventure. The first is a mercenary envoy. They are capable mercenaries that understand the value of tactics and formations, but aren't in leadership positions. The other stat block is for the series' villain, Tyreus. This Ravnican wizard is a powerful illusionist and has some strong spells. If given time to prepare, he can sow chaos and despair among the party. The appendices also include spells and artifacts from previous adventures, reprinted for convenience sake.

I am really impressed with these adventures. There is a great story to be told and some cool ramifications from the adventure. For example, what if the party decides to keep the stone, take over the castle, and gather their own forces?

Gonna Get My Cob On?

After some discussion and contemplation, I've decided that my first convention since the onset of the global bastard will be Con on the Cob 2021. I'm a bit hesitant because of the rise in Covid rates. We probably wouldn't be seeing said rates if (medically able) people would just get the vaccine. I may reconsider my attendance once the con gets closer, but as of now, I'm going.

I love Con on the Cob. It's a weird gaming party full of freaks, geeks, and some of the most welcoming and accepting people I've ever met.

I'm really excited to hang out with my friends at Bloat Games. Eric, Josh, and newly appointed official BG GM, Matt will all be in attendance. I definitely want to sign up for some of Matt's games when they get on the schedule. I might also run some DCC.

Music Monday - Heart Of A Champion

Another Music Monday post, another video featuring Spenser from Ice Nine Kills. I really like this track and the video game beat-em-up music video. Also, like last week's video, this one features Jacoby from Papa Roach too.
