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
The streets of Menzoberranzan are bustling all day
But through the crowds, our heroes spot Jarlaxle Baenre
Dressed like a glamorous Pirate King, in his garb & his hat
Only makes Sir Turnip seethe & declare “I will bally well see about that!”

Wow
Today marks the fifth year since our Convergence of Whispers campaign began
We don’t have the original party
We don’t have the original players
Or even the original system 😳
But much like “Trigger’s broom”, it’s our favourite campaign to date
Happy Birthday to the Platinum Accords🎂

Disguised as Drow, Duergar & a Goblin slave
Our heroes must continue to keep brave
Seeking refuge & their original target
Who knows what they will find in this Underdark market

Quite a few “poo poo” 4th Edition rules, but I was encouraged to seek out some of the sourcebooks produced by a fellow player
The Underdark (picked up at a convention Bring & Buy stall for a steal) gives a deep dive on the environment, politics, travel & of course, No AI included 🤖

Menzoberranzan, the City of Spiders
With its unique bazaars & temples with spires
Seeking refuge from the Underdark & aid in their quest
The Platinum Accords need more than a Long Rest

The summoned Demogorgon wrecks its destruction
Losing our heroes the hope of another faction
A paladin rival steps up out of their past
Her intent only to regain her weapon of past

“You mean that there was an uncontrolled rift which tore apart the fabrics that holds the other dimensions apart causing the ungodly creatures to be able to traverse into the Prime Worlds?”
“Yes, it’s true”
“Errr… that was us, wasn’t it?”
“Turnip! Shush, the lady is speaking…”

Just spent a glorious afternoon playing a #dnd game with my kid brother, @claretnblue27.bsky.social
His Viking Ranger, Sven & supporting Halfling, Mouse battled zombies, tracked orcs & even outwitted a mischievous ice sprite named Boggles ❄️

From Baldur’s Gate to Winterhold
Our heroes take the well travelled road
Forward with clues, on the trail of a Drow
Where will their adventures take them now?

Okay, so it’s coming up to our 4-year anniversary of the Convergence of Whispers campaign
(How has Sir Turnip survived? 😳)
So we are all planning an antithetic story arc to steer the campaign towards
We came across these collection of books which look very intriguing & should help

Beneath the city streets that always sin
A battle between adversaries is about to begin
The Platinum Accords prepare to win the fight
In Baldur’s Gate’s sewers, that are full of sh…. stuff!

Today’s one-shot
“There’s Gnoll place like home”

The Platinum Accords have stumbled upon a Gnoll den, within the sewers, deep beneath the city of Baldur’s Gate during their Scavenger Hunt
Roll for initiative 🎲🎲

Ever wondered if the local tavern rumours random table is against your party?
The Great Baldur’s Gate Monster Scavenger Hunt could spell disaster for the Platinum Accords

“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

This is a super silly, chaotic fun evening oneshot adventure with plenty of drunken NPCs, all kinds of Baldruian cocktails, backstreet poisons, and ✨various contraband items✨

Been busy and hadn't much to show you guys yet, and November seems really busy too!

That said, I'm opening only a couple of commissions slots to be done in time for the Holidays!

👉👉Here are my offerings!

Feel free to DM me, and help me share if you can 🙌

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”

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!!
