The only have the one core rulebook now since it's a fairly new game. It came out last year. They were suppose to have a couple more like a starter kit but those were delayed because of COVID. They have a Gamemasters Kit which is just Character sheets, some maps and other things for the GM.

@Themagusx1 there is some serious Go Fish happening in my house as of late.

Does Dominion count? I just learned a new expansion dropped in March......how did I miss that?

Nothing new to report with the D&D campaign I'm in. We should resume this weekend after a hiatus due to:
1. One of the players needing a bit of time off since their mother passed away
2. The DM was finishing up a few college courses
3. Mother's Day craziness

@Tyranexx sorry to hear about the loss off family for one of your players. I do hope your game does get back flowing. I can understand how things get with dnd and scheduling at times.

@Themagusx1 YES! Allies is the new one.......gotta pick that up soon......I got Menagerie when it dropped during the pandemic but admittedly, I only got to play with it a couple times. I liked what I got to play with though.

I developed this Excel randomizer for picking cards because I found a lot of the ones you can buy aren't truly random and I also have several of the fan-made expansions which aren't included in the apps.

Got a fave expansion?

@Themagusx1 Thanks. Some of the group knew the mother fairly well, so that was a blow for several involved. That was what first kicked off the hiatus, but then the main thing was the DM's college classes. Scheduling gets crazy sometimes, but we usually manage lol. We should get in a few hours tomorrow, though it won't run as long as a Saturday game since a lot of us have to join the weekly grind come Monday morning.

@cordova94 I like what the intrigue expansion adds to the game. It’s one I like a lot.

@Tyranexx I hope the game goes well today, but understands that sometimes things like this happen. Well glad you guys are getting back to the rolling of it all.

@Themagusx1 Thanks! It went well, though we closed it a bit early since we were coming up to a section that could become hairy fast. One player had to join remotely since he unfortunately tested positive for Covid early last week and still wasn't feeling the best. We managed but thought it would be best for him to be present before proceeding.

We're currently being escorted by a member of the Lizardfolk we initially captured alive to an "abandoned" castle in the middle of a swamp since our goals (temporarily) align. It's a Cult of the Dragon base that we're very interested in disrupting, plus they're taking advantage of the Lizardfolk and working with Ballywogs as well, which the former canonically hate.

We only dealt with one true fight yesterday - a bunch of crocs - and most characters didn't take damage except unfortunately yours truly, our Lizardfolk escort (same canoe), and a friendly croc (I call it ninja croc since that player usually rolls well for it lol) owned by our party's Dragonborn sorcerer. We could have tangled with some Yuan-ti on the way, but one fight was an almost guaranteed TPK since there aren't many of us (Yuan-ti Anathema + 2 Broodguards = nope), and the other group would've been manageable but difficult since most of our party is composed of half and full casters at this point. No long rest since the last encounter either.

Anyway, we made it to the castle + encampment and decided to leave things off for there. For now the plan is to march in and pretend we're cultists lol; Ballywog guards aren't the smartest and only speak their own language. The good news is my ranger is a Drakewarden, so my winged drake companion + knowing Draconic + a bit of Thaumaturgy with my eyes should help sell the whole cultist thing lol. Along with the Dragonborn and a Kobold also in our party.

@Tyranexx you guys have a really good group and coordinated things well for the sick player. Sounds like an interesting game and such. The croc battle seemed good and it seems your dm has a good idea of where things can go. Can’t wait to hear more!!!!!

@Themagusx1 agreed, that expansion was a really strong one. I have a hard time choosing because they all bring a different flavour but I think I have a strong attachment to Hinterlands for some reason......as a Maritimer, I really liked Seaside as well.

@Themagusx1 Thanks! It's certainly an interesting game so far. For reference, our crazy party makeup currently is:

  • Human Drakewarden Ranger (Me!) (And my trusty blue winged drake, interesting story how I picked up the sub-class; my character was previously a Beast Master)
  • Half Elf Bard (unsure of subclass)
  • Dragonborn Sorceror (I think Storm subclass, but need to confirm)
  • Croc belonging to said Dragonborn (ninja croc!)
  • Tiefling Oathbreaker Paladin
  • Kobold Sorceror (In service to the paladin, said paladin is trying to form their own cult. The Kobold is under a contract and was rescued from his existence as a Cult of the Dragon underling)
  • NPC Gnome, with Arcane Trickster Rogue capabilities
  • Our somewhat-willing Lizardfolk escort

The bard replaced a Tiefling Arcane Trickster Rogue that died earlier in the campaign.

@cordova94 those are good expansions. How often do you play Dominion?

Themagusx1

@Tyranexx that’s an interesting group of characters. I wonder about that Paladin though and if there are any conflicts with them in the group?

Themagusx1

Tyranexx

@Themagusx1 No major conflicts, though the other playable characters are quick to warn those who listen not to sign anything lol. I'm not sure as to that character's motives, but she's already signed on a few Kobolds....She's also caused my character a bit of trouble a couple sessions ago as she was sneaking around invisible to try to learn anything of value regarding some Cult of the Dragon members in the same inn we're staying. One of the cultists was suspicious of my character from a previous instance (that also wasn't her fault, I might add), challenged me to a duel, then proceeded to have a VERY bad time lol. Unbeknownst to my character, the other party members were rigging the match in my favor. XD He went down pretty quickly, though I opted for a non-lethal take down.
