Our party had to endure a long sandstorm, zombies, and a bunch of evil guards and their cohorts. Thankfully, we all became large and beat the shit out of them and I blessed their tar monster out of existence. Someone also tried to teleport the drow priestess away during the sandstorm, only for a god to interfere and leave them both out in the sandstorm, forcing them to endure a sandstorm that is the equivalent of a 500 PSI sand blaster. Needless to say, the drow priestess was stripped down to bones and banging on the door repeatedly. Said drow bones were then quickly turned into ash, stuffed in a jar, and then sealed with 6 seals (three from an archpriestess, two from elves, and one from myself). Needless to say, no one's reviving the priestess anytime soon. After the whole sandstorm business, we left and traveled to a cave oasis, where we found a werewolf chained to a post. Found out he was evil and a giant was using it for combat practice. I blessed the club and told him to go for another swing.

Needless to say, that werewolf wants to rip me a new anus and there's more werewolves. Good thing I have force shapechange!
 
@Techpriest Are you guys still doing the World of Darkness games anymore? The whole Halloween season sort of got me thinking about that again.

I'm sorry for having to drop that back when it started. Real life sort of got in the way for a bit, and I sort of forgot about it after a while.
 
Speaking of World of Darkness, we finally got together again to shit on Beast the Primordial for Halloween:

Videos were kind of delayed because my ass is still pretty sick and I do the recording.

I'm working full time now so that game is dead.

Just as a note, this is the first part of what's likely to be several episodes on Beast: The Primordial. And holy shit, it's even worse than I remember. It's terrible. And we've got another two books to go through.

God have mercy on our souls.

So I'm running a Mutants and Masterminds campaign, and I had decided to lighten things up by introducing a group of supervillain geeks who model their powers and group after the D&D gods. Most of them have been pretty easy to stat out, like Kord is your super strong Hulk kind of character, Nerull can summon undead and drain your Constitution score, Hextor is a weapons master and strategist ect... Players seem to enjoy it so far.

I'm drawing a blank on how to stat out the villain that would take on the role of Moradin. I kinda see giving him powers that would make him practically impervious to physical harm, being the god of the dwarves and mountains maybe giving him a body hard as a mountain itself...but I dunno. Anyone feel like throwing their opinion into the ring on how to make a neckbeard supervillain mirror Moradin?

He uses the earth to bolster his physical attributes, which allows him to hit harder and take more hits. Maybe he even wields a war hammer that can also be bolstered by the earth.
 
Ok guys, I’m going to Gen Con next summer, it looks horribly expensive and every hotel I’ve called is already booked solid. So I gotta ask, is it worth it?

In the Olden Days(tm) I'd have said absolutely (especially when it was actually GenCon, in Lake Geneva, but the Milwaukee era was worthy, too). Now it's a maybe. Do you have a decent sized con nearby that has a good variety of games? That takes the shine off a little. If you want to experience the spectacle of the thing, or have obscure systems you want to try out? It's probably worth it. You pay for the history more than the current convention, though. There are awesome things about GenCon , but it's not necessarily accessible the first time because it's so sprawling. It's still GenCon, though.

Edit: this was probably more negative than I intended. When you get old you get a rose-tinted view of the past. I've been plying these stupid games waaay too long. It's worth it, just go with an open mind for the types of game you want. There are some gems.

Kinfucker necrophilia springs to mind...

I have a friend who played a Gio cuz he thinks they're awesome argue till he was blue in the face his character didn't do any of that gay incest stuff with his Sire when we all knew he probably did lore wise. Hell, his Granddaddy was guaranteed slobbering all over gross Uncle Auggie's undead knob for vitae as a boy. If you play a Gio just resign yourself to the weird incest stuff and lean hard into it. Because it's creepy and fucked up and that's kinda the best part of them.

I embraced it as a Dunsirn. No incest but plenty of Cannabilism. Personally Giovanni have always been one of the more NPC clans with the total lack of redeeming qualities. It really does show how the organic development of the game often created quirks and things which would never make it into a calculated design. Otherwise the Cappadocians would have been the primary clan with the Giovanni as a strict antagonist clan.
 
So in my campaign, our group decided to walk around our town, and then a band of mercenaries came in, with some as werewolves, and then everything went to Hell in a handbasket. The chained up werewolf broke free from his bonds and we were fighting with the guards, only for all of them to turn into vampires by really dark divine magic. I nearly died from a vampire chewing into me, but I got up and with the reluctant help of the monk (who's a real xenophobic asshole with an ego) getting our comrades, we're slowly turning the tide. Hell, I managed to disintegrate 22 of the vampires and four ghouls in a single turn.
