We all had trouble answering the check in question this session. This is a party full of musicians (none of which played a bard) with a wide variety of musical taste. We had an easier time answering for our characters than for ourselves. Check In Question: Your favorite type of music or band? Miranda: Green…

Session 12: So We’re Gonna Do This the Hard Way
When we last left the party they had found this weird dungeon, echoing the sounds of gears whirring and clicking. The stone walls feel man made and cold (the stones are made of wall – yes, we still messed with Justice about this). They had walked into a side room with the weird marionette dressed as a jester that came to life and bonked Professor on the head. When Professor hit it back it fell apart, revealing it was stuffed with gears and other mechanisms.
Session 11: Gobbles the Goblin
The day before this session Justice (DM/dad) and I participated in The Game to Grow Method of Therapeutically Applied Role-Playing Games, Educator Level 1 training. This was a 6 hour seminar that was both very educational and fun. We decided to apply some of what we learned to World of Corde right away, starting with…
Session 10 – Law & Order: D&D
Ian, Shannon, and Liz were unable to attend this session, so it’s just the Buras-clan playing today. The kids were in a particularly crazy mood, singing the Animaniacs theme while waiting for the session to start. Victor expressed interest in playing at first, but when he realized there was not going to be any combat…
Session 9: Another One Bites the Dust
This session the DM added the rule of Inspiration. The DM will grant the party members Inspiration if they roleplay exceptionally well. The Inspiration can be used to give advantage on any role. We haven’t done this yet because Cordelia wasn’t comfortable with role playing, but we hope by introducing the extra incentive she will…
Session 8: Curses!
The characters have leveled up to level 3! Cordelia gives Surina Oath of Vengeance, and Victor had Draggy take the Champion arc: he now crits on 19 and 20, and he can take an extra action once per encounter. At the end of the previous session the players had returned the stolen gems to the…
Session 7: This Isn’t a Temple, It’s a Tomb
This session will feature the entire party. The party has been reunited in the temple. There is a bell ringing alerting the town – they know the jewel is missing. The party decides they have enough time to take a long rest (we needed to heal!). Once rested, the party returns to the hallway filled…
Session 6: Riddles
This session took place the weekend after Hurricane Zeta. Our power had luckily returned after 23 hours, but Ian’s power didn’t come on until the evening before the session, so he had to take care of some things around his house. To make up for the lack of uncles we decided that K’un-Lun and Professor…
Session 5: Here Comes the BOOM
This is the first session with all party members participating. Victor did not participate for the majority of the game, but he is only 4 so it’s understandable. First thing, K’un-Lun and Professor needed to catch up to Surina and the rest of the party. The script Cordelia had written (see Session 4) included instructions…
Session 4: No Vacancy
After the previous session Justice told Cordelia to come up with some plot ideas she would like to play out in some of the sessions. She slightly misinterpreted what me mean and ended up writing an entire script for the beginning of the next session. Justice took some parts from her script and put them…
