Behind the Screen – Masks of Nyarlathotep – Prep

Posted on 2nd February 20192nd February 2019 Matt4 CommentsPosted in Call of Cthulhu

It’s been a very long time since I added anything to this blog (I spend a lot of time playing and not enough time writing about it perhaps…) – but I figured I would restart with series of  ‘Behind The Screen’ reports about the Masks of Nyarlathotep campaign I started at Contingency UK 2019 Convention […]

Grasp of the Emerald Claw. Part IX

Posted on 30th December 2015 MattLeave a commentPosted in Eberron, Eberron

For long moments we simply watched the glowing throne preparing ourselves for what came next but , as the seconds rolled by, it became apparent that that no new danger was going to reveal itself. We began to discuss our next move. We all felt that the throne was the key by which The Emerald […]

Grasp of the Emerald Claw. Part VIII

Posted on 30th December 2015 MattLeave a commentPosted in Eberron, Eberron

With the death of Scarlet in the last session.  We had to introduce a replacement PC.  So here is the Klara, who tells us her part of the tale… You say you wish to hear of my adventures? Let me begin by saying that I would not call them such. I have never been motivated […]

Grasp of the Emerald Claw. Part VII

Posted on 30th December 201530th December 2015 MattLeave a commentPosted in D&D, Eberron, Eberron

In a flash the flame had burnt itself out and we could see, and smell, the damage it had inflicted. The air was full of the smell of burnt flesh and burnt fur. All but three of the rampaging apes were dead and these three turned tail and fled as quickly as they could. Though […]

Grasp of the Emerald Claw. Part VI

Posted on 27th September 2015 MattLeave a commentPosted in D&D, Eberron, Eberron

I hate apes. Monkeys, apes, guerrillas; the whole dung-flinging bunch. Hate them. I’m also getting ahead of myself. So, after our run in with the Drowned we headed back down the stairs to regroup. Some of us were pretty done in. We could have burnt what little healing magic we had left seeing to our […]

Grasp of the Emerald Claw. Part V

Posted on 7th September 201527th September 2015 MattLeave a commentPosted in D&D, Eberron, Eberron

Before the scorpion could reach us Altera dashed forward and cast a spell. It was not till later that I discovered it was a spell of Animal Friendship and she intended to calm the beast and stop the fight before it started. What was plain to see was her magic did not have the slightest […]

Grasp of the Emerald Claw. Part IV

Posted on 6th September 20157th September 2015 MattLeave a commentPosted in D&D, Eberron, Eberron

It was on our fifth day out of Storm Reach when we spotted the hands and damned relieved I was to see them too. It is fair to say that, for me, the romance of river travel had long since worn off; what with the humidity, the bugs, the squawking birds and the crocodiles. The […]

GMing an Adventure Path – My Advice and tips

Posted on 9th August 201511th August 2015 Matt1 CommentPosted in Matt's Blog, Pathfinder

Note, this is an that originally appeared on another blog I used to maintain.  I’ve updated it and present it again… I think I did things around the wrong way.. When I first started GMing tabletop roleplaying games back in the 1980s I made up my own adventures first and foremost.  I enjoyed the writing process […]
