Crimson Nib

Season 3: Embers from a Chimney II is a D&D5e podcast that will journey with 4 wayward adventurers into the heart of the Southlands; a land of mystery and adventure, where riches and dangers await those brave enough to cross the wild expanses. Season 2: The Player’s Perspective is a bitesize podcast that is created in conjunction with The DMs Perspective podcast (found on all podcasting platforms), hosted by my own GM ... Nulky (@iNulky). I will review my role playing within D&D campaigns where I

Hello good people of the interwebs, This is our last episode for 2018, and let me say that it’s been a blast creating these podcasts! Sitting down with Mick each Saturday, for coffee and chatter about our campaign ... but damn I do enjoy these conversations and I really hope that you have as well! So join Mick and I as we wrap up our conversation from last week. The Grey Company part ways to explore; a little free time before needing to meet with the Pallid Court later that evening. What does a

2018/11/24

Join Mick and I as we chat about whether a GM should retcon a scene when they make a mistake? Will healing potions keep a person from getting drunk? If there are 5 players in a party, then doesn’t that mean there are 5 sets of eyes searching a room, and so nothing will remain hidden? Will the players realise that the most valuable loot in the hideout are the barrels of salt? How does one answer the question “How did they fit those barrels through the manholes”? Mick starts to see how the pieces

2018/11/17

Join Mick and I as we continue our review of the overall narrative since we started the Embers from a Chimney campaign. We take a look at how the main plot has developed, as the individual characters flush out their own personal stories. What, how, why has SS entered Per-Bastet? How does a wizard convert a water breathing spell to sand breathing? When a new player joins the campaign, do you hand them 100 pages of player notes to get them up-to-speed? Should a campaign do periodic OOC player

Join Mick and I as we review the overall narrative since we started the Embers from a Chimney campaign. We take a look at how the main plot has developed, as the individual characters flush out their own personal stories. The one bit of non-story conversation is about how critically important it is to take notes, take notes, take notes; which is very evident while we do this review.

2018/11/05

Join Mick and I as we chat about using a dagger to cut a bowstring. What happens when an invisible wizard gets smoked with an arrow, does the arrow disappear? Does the blood appear? Hey I’m invisible, they can’t hear me ... not! Should melee attacks with a swinging weapon be at disadvantage in a narrow passage? What is the wingspan of your tiefling? Should that span be on the character sheet, and if it's not, it defaults to wee tiny Puff the Magic Dragon size? A secret Dogs of Bastet sewer hideout

Join Mick and I as we chat about lessons learned from swimming through sewage water, what checks should be done for sight, and to keep from vomiting. Can you have a sewer session without a giant crocodiles fight? Fantasy Grounds Unity release and its dynamic lighting can’t arrive soon enough so that this GM doesn’t have to remember rules around dim light, dark, darkvision, blindsight, etc. When you shoot an invisible wizard with an arrow, should the arrow turn invisible, or remain visible?

2018/10/20

Join Mick and I as we chat about accents, new players, first time at D&D, starting at level 1 to learn the Fantasy Grounds interface, stealing “good stuff” RP elements and making them your own, to better your own role play. How quickly, immersive role playing can make a three hour session fly by, and nothing is accomplished. “Fly-By” ... a Crimson Nib Flying Carpet is just what every would-be, serious, adventuring group needs! The Grey Company is seeking their missing benefactor, should they

2018/10/13

Join Mick and I as we chat about an interesting role playing scenario when the Grey Company decides to make a quick stop at the house of Hakaan. Elbrim and Callidus are keen to B&E the house, and maybe find Daryl. Whereas the new party members have no idea what the older 2 members are about. Elbrim and Callidus’ uncomfort was palpable as they are barraged with questions. Cold-blooded murder and slavery! The GM loves every moment listening to such unexpected and delightful role playing gems

2018/10/07

Join Mick and I as we chat about the voyage back to the city of Per-Bastet with the evidence from the Pool of Blood, and visions that cause Elbrim’s heart to ache. Now that the party has reached level 5, how do they prioritise their next move? Notes, usually just from the last session, don’t often look at the big picture, so what’s a good decision? How can listening to CriticalRole provide insight on keeping track of the plot? How do NPC motivations guide their emotional reactions when player’s say

Join Mick and I as we chat about GM’s using player theories to craft and mold the campaign ... wait ... is that legal, can you do that? How does one integrate a seamless skill challenge to replace travel, and not be deemed trivial? What should a GM do when the player’s wanna hire more players to do their dirty work? How can a famous show like Critical Role guide and help keep the group dynamic together when there is conflict and dice rolls against each other? And of course, whatever has the Grey

2018/09/23

Join Mick and I as we chat about trapdoors; do you check for traps when there’s no rogue in the party? How old players take for granted that all backstory lore is known and the new players must act accordingly; whereas the new players are like WTF mate, why the hell are we gonna do that?! What IC secrets should you reveal, and how do you role play it, when the GM whispers information in your ear? Does IRL culture affect role playing, and should IC boundaries be softened when an obvious story element

Join Mick and I as we conclude our Pool of Blood encounter chat with Mick’s concoctions of plot hypothesis’; that the flying Tosculi was actually the shepherd boy Cade, that the Nebr mayor killed Cade for learning about the secret pool of blood, or that Cade was actually 1 of “The 12” ... Killing Eve anyone? Perhaps everything is tied to an overthrow of the government and there’s a secret alliance with the Corporation of the Tosculi?! The GM takes notes madly and wonders how to implement such

Join Mick and I as we chat about blindsiding players to come up with meaningful tidbits for their character’s backstory. Is backstory important? What should an intelligent creature do when firing from a large distance? How bad tactics can easily turn the tide of a battle. Effective storytelling for travel in a campaign; West Marches style versus interactive narrative skill challenges (thanks for the advice Matt Colville!). What are good consequences if the party fails their travel skill challenge

2018/09/01

Join Mick and I as we chat about entering a village for the first time and meeting the locals. What should a person say when the mayor ponders the banner of the sandship you arrived on? Is it wise to share a room in the local Inn, or get your own? What’s the right amount of Dwarven Stiffmace whiskey to drink? When your comrade asks a question about your history, should you tell them, or remain tight-lipped and hold those precious memories close? That first night out in the desert with just a

Join Mick and I as we chat about exploring from the deck of a sandship and experiencing the soaring and freezing temperatures of the Sarklan Desert! How the Grey Company convinces the captain, against her better judgement, to make haste and sail through the night; and how such persuasions can result in giant scorpions attacking the ship. What questions should you ask the strange Nkosi that just saved your bacon from a TPK? Should you believe gossip and rumours when your party is named? Do you start

They move quickly and are scolded once again by a harbour master that is shocked at adventurers without backpacks! Kalen’s hands are slapped for not having proper travel papers, nor Southlands Identification papers! In the moment between breaths, a dire sending stone call is received.

The legal gymnastics finish as the mysterious vampire Ahit Nem-ur enters the conference room and scolds the participants. The Grey Company is reminded that they’ve promised to help the Pallid Court, and a sandship has been held at the ready for days. Kalen catches a strange sight as Ahit folds down into the earth and disappears, the others are oblivious as Cero discusses hiring their services to deal with the corrupt Hazi Sucineri. Back at their studio, they are mystified at how the owner had

A day later and after a strongly worded letter from Ranjeet, that threatens prosecution, the party arrives to the Pallid Court. Will they be forced to hand over Cobal’s Withered Hand artifact?

Join Mick and I as we chat about taking a moment to recover from a battle within the tomb’s inner chamber, only to discover that your new potential companion, has been cursed. Should the Grey Company abandon this fellow? I mean, they don’t really know him! What of Rakim and Nakwa? Will they finally put their clothes on? Outside the pyramid Lugo and Hazi are arguing, but they quickly shore up the conversation and the GFA greet the wayward ambassadors for the Pallid Court. How sharp are the Grey

Wander the ancient halls of a tomb, stare at hieroglyphs until your eyes bleed, and then discover that there can be power in strange symbols. Finally, solve the ancient riddles and gain access to the epicentre of the pyramid, only to discover that the nasty ancient mummy is nothing like what had been expected! What
