Session 44 of #Glimmermark, they decided to deal with the necromancers in the caves, unfortunately (fortunately?) they had instigated the doom of those last month, when they opened a bolted door and just left it open without investigating that much further. The wight that had been locked in that crypt used the chance to make the rest of the cultists into wights as well.
The lack of magic/silver weapons made them turn back before challenging the former high priest.

#glimmermark session 30. I updated the map to reflect their wilderness expeditions, and of course the group decided to investigate the closest dungeon instead: The Tomb of the Serpent Kings. On the way there they decided to walk around a pack of wolves, surprised a group of bandits, then investigated the false tomb, where one of them before had been. A group of zombified rival adventurers was fought, then they got bogged down with a black pudding in the lower level.

#glimmermark session 29 today. They investigated the wilderness in the north further, got freaked out by a spooky mountain that turned day into night on approach, encountered weird albino creatures, crocodiles, got snuck upon by hobgoblins, failed to sneak on elves, and successfully surprised some human brigands (or maybe cultists, they weren't really sure), investigated weird ruined settlements in pastel colors, and made it back to Castle Aberwacht in one piece.
busy two days

Players Wanted: Glimmermark Open Table Labyrinth Lord Game
I currently am running a Labyrinth Lord Open Table every Tuesday at 8.15pm CET for 2 hours on the Grenzland Discord Server. Sign-ups are via the Norn bot in channel #glimmermark. A wiki page for the game exists.
The Glimmermark is a is a border march of the Kingdom of Brillon, once a core province of the old Empire, but now a landscape of ruins, wilderness, and strange creatures. Here around the remote border fortress Aberwacht are located many strange places like the rather ‘chaotic’ Stygian Caves, or the ruins of Castle Dyson. Treasure can be found by enterprising adventurers…
The time constraints necessitate a very focused approach to the game.
The game so far is in German, but the Discord server we are on normally switches to English as soon as a non-German speaker is present.
Rules are stock Labyrinth Lord Revised, but characters created with equivalent (DnD B/X) systems are welcome.
Goblins are available as an additional class.

[Glimmermark] …but what about helmets?
As we all know Shields Shall be Splintered!
Shields
For our Glimmermark game we agreed that shields are a necessity for the aspiring adventurer, as they allow you to soak one damage roll by sacrificing the shield.
- I would argue that technically that is not limited to only shields but could also involve any other handy thing you could use to soak the attacks of an opponent with, like a chair you picked up, or a nearby NPC (although those wouldn’t give you +1 to your AC).
- In case it’s a magic shield it loses a +1 for any damage roll soaked. (this damage is repairable though, at least until it’s broken completely).
- characters have to announce if they want to sacrifice their shield before the damage roll takes place, unless they are fighters. Fighters can choose to sacrifice a shield AFTER the damage roll, as they have much better experience to gauge if an attack in actually dangerous or just bothersome.
Critical Fails and Critical Hits
The whole idea of a crit on a natural 1 or 20 was not originally part of the game. This was one of those house rules that came from fanzines, but became so ubiquitous that everyone was using it. Dungeons and Dragons only acknowledged their existence in 3rd edition, and even then only as an optional rule.
And there’s a reason for that, they mess up the nice maths of the rest of the combat system and make it work less well than they would otherwise.
But still crits are kinda part of the fun, so we have them in our game as well. Unlike the more elaborate Crit tables going around our ideas are rather simplistic.
- A natural 1 on a roll is a critical failure, which means the attacker loses this attack for next round. This is implying something happened that made them e.g. lose their balance, have their weapon get stuck in a tree, etc. Something like that.
- If the attacker has multiple attacks it only loses this one attack and can still use the others. Maybe he/she/it dropped the weapon, got their tentacles twisted, etc.
- A natural 20 on a roll is a critical hit, which means the attacker does automatic full damage with this hit.
…but what about helmets then?
Helmets let you ignore a critical hit and have a normal damage roll instead. They break when that happens, but hey, at least it’s not your head that breaks, huh?
- Same rules as shields: helmets are destroyed, unless they are magic, in which case they lose one +1.
- This also applies to large hats, although these generally do no give you the +1 armor a helmet normally give.

Session 9 of Dysons Delve in Labyrinth Lord.
What the players learned today
* graverobbing can be quite profitable
* goblins are more scared of manticores than adventurers
* carrion crawlers don't do direct damage, but 8 paralyzing attacks at once -
Had a nice session in my #glimmermark campaign. The players were quite careful but did not encounter much, mostly owing to the fact that they cleared out the most active inhabitants last time. They did find a wealth of copper coins though (nearly worthless), a bit of silver, and they made friends with an exiled goblin who joined them for further adventures.
So now we need a goblin class.

Another session in my #Glimmermark campaign today, bringing riches and undead and only the second random encounter in the dungeon in 4 sessions so far.
And then it turns out to be... giant rats. Which they already fought oodles off.
