We also had a fun callback to another character's backstory, where his old enemy -- a corrupted fey were-crocodile -- showed up to ambush the group during another fight, springing out the rain and darkness with jaws snapping.
A timely team-up and crit drove off the enemy just before it would have dragged its target into the water, and was so violently successful that it cost Old Ironjaw an eye! He'll be angrier and more cunning next time.

The #Daggerheart game I'm running monthly-ish began spooky season a little early. They went to the cursed ruins of one character's hometown (thanks, tragic backstory) and the souls of the unquiet dead are calling their names....
On the down side, they burned down the building where they were going to get a lot of information about what is going on here (abyssal cultists making things worse). So I need to figure out another way to feed them the information next game.

The main #ttrpg group where I'm a player wrapped up a #Shadowrun 4e campaign after 38 sessions. We're going on hiatus as the GM is about to have his first child. I'm hoping we will pick up in the new year... but making plans to fill the time until then.
I also have a boardgame-night group that has converted to 2-hour sessions of RPGs. Currently playing #SavageWorlds Deadlands: Hell on Earth, and my buddy is doing a great job given the short sessions!

#ThisWeekAtMyTable we skipped ttrpg night and broke out a boardgame instead.
This week it was Thunder Road Vendetta. Big goofy post-apocalyptic death race fun.
We broke out some expansions we hadn't used before and had a War Rig and a motorcycle team interspersed with our mad-max style vehicle teams.
A good clobberin' was had by all, and the War Rig took the finish by a hair, sputtering and smoking the whole way.

#ThisWeekAtMyTable I ran the seventh session of my monthly-ish #Daggerheart game, and it was an absolute delight.
We picked up with the party forging into a buried, ancient, abandoned city of a destroyed demon empire, in search of the Archmage seeking to tap its magical nexus for power - which would destroy the very nice city the druids had planted on top of the ruins.

I played in a one-shot of Savage Worlds Rifts. I absolutely love the bonkers kitchen-sink mega power level that Rifts brings to SW. I played an Atlantean Ley Line Walker and with a Glitter Boy (mech pilot) and Mind-Melter at my side, we stopped an avatar of Surtur from burning down the entire province out of a brand-new rift.

Last weekend I got to run #Daggerheart for the first time. This is an in-person game that's meant to be monthly. We had an absolutely stellar Session Zero back in November, then illness and holiday responsibilities delayed our start.
The good news, that left me lots of time to prep.
On the other hand, I had to learn entirely new ways of GM-prepping. All the encounter-building knowhow from previous fantasy #TTRPG lives doesn't apply here.

#ThisWeekAtMyTable it's the Grand Conjunction of #ttrpg joy!
Tonight I ran my #dnd5e Ptolus game, more rampaging through a haunted castle - ended on a cliffhanger, coming face to face with a demon!
Tomorrow I'm a player in a #Shadowrun 4e game, we're trying to extract our technomancer friend (NPC) before Aztechnology captures her.
Sunday I'm running Session Zero of #Daggerheart and it's going to be great!

#ThisWeekAtMyTable my dnd game was cancelled again, so Wife, Kid, and I finished up the #IronswornStarforged adventure we started last week.
We ended up having to rescue our smuggler contacts from the fortified bunker of a gang who had turned on them.
My Weapon Master / Ace got into a firefight with a patrol on speeder bikes, and ended up hanging from his fingertips over a crevasse of boiling acid before managing to turn the tables and rescue the smuggler captain.

The #dnd5e game I usually run on Fridays was cancelled, so I broke out #IronswornStarforged with Wife and Kid.
I had originally planned to play solo - since it's designed for that - but they both got interested when I started fiddling with sector/campaign creation.
We got contacted by rebels fighting against a corrupt Authority to smuggle in medical supplies, so off to space we went, tangling with raiders and discovering a forbidden research complex.

I was a player in a #Shadowrun 4e game that has been going for almost a year. We had a big story event that ended with 3 of the 4 of us players switching to new characters (1 dead, 1 off to corporate stardom, 1 willingly lost in the metaplanes forever).
So we had a nice RP session and got started on an extraction, trying to get our favorite NPC technomancer out of the city alive.
Anyway, I'm playing a dwarf raven shaman, street name Nevermore of course.

The DnD group I started to show my teen son how it is done has been a strange animal. I'm doing a lot more work to push the plot as a DM. I am used to more proactive tables.
Anyway we stalled pretty hard between adventures, so I shoved them into kicking off The Night of Dissolution. Now they are delving a haunted castle on a rainy night. Perfect for spooky October.

#ThisWeekAtMyTable my Ptolus #5e group cleared out a haunted house in North Market, finding the "ghosts" were cunning goblins instead.
I used the goblins from Flee Mortals by MCDM and it really spiced things up. Minion rules and a few spicy goblins in the backline made for some fun combats.
The group hit 3rd level, too. It's time to run the Halls of Cordaris and start nudging toward the Night of Dissolution adventure. #ttrpg

#ThisWeekAtMyTable I'm playing in a #Shadowrun group who has been tasked with getting a corpo feathered serpent to Aztechnology HQ, alive.
He's WAY above our pay grade to kidnap. So instead we're spinning up a full movie production and inviting the dragon to be a producer and attend our kickoff meeting in Tenochtitlan....
Never deal with a dragon, they say

#ThisWeekAtMyTable I finally got to run the #AlienRpg for a group of friends i hadn't seen in a while.
We played the first part of Destroyer of Worlds, and these Colonial Marines have found out they are in way over their heads!
Already had the first inter party violence, too....

#ThisWeekAtMyTable my brand new Edge of the Empire group decided to attack a group of thugs who were trying to bully a poor mining community into giving up their land.
They ambushed a convoy of construction vehicles and blew them to pieces with improvised mining charges and frag grenades, a complete massacre.
The adventure I'm running (Long Arm of the Hutt) changes gears to a heavy RP fancy dress party next, we will see how my murderhoboes do!

#ThisWeekAtMyTable I ran the Edge of the Empire starter box for something like the sixth time.
As #ttrpg adventures go, i may have my best hours to dollars ratio! Great introductory scenario.
Even better, the group liked it enough to ask me to run more sessions, so it looks like I have a regular game once more.

#ThisWeekAtMyTable I ran an in-person one-shot of #Wildsea.
This game's system is somewhat similar to Blades in the Dark - but maybe a bit more gentle?
And the group I ran for was mostly made up of my old buddies that I quit running games for five years ago, because they couldn't wrap their brains around narrative, non-crunchy, non-battlefest games.
Surprisingly, we had a really good time and delved into some solid RP in addition to kicking the crap out of pirates. #ttrpg
