Current Games

So, I figured a worthy piece of content for this sort of blog would be to give updates on my home role-playing campaigns. Currently there are two, both taking place in Dungeons and Dragons 5th edition. The primary campaign is the 'Rise of Tiamet', a follow-up to 'Hoard of the Dragon Queen' and a very long term campaign that I've been DMing for my group. The second is the brand new adventure from WotC, and a return to a classic setting that happens to be older than *I* am- The Curse of Strahd, which thankfully I can join as a player rather than game master.

Not that running through Barovia is going to be 'easy' by any means.

Rise of Tiamet Characters

Morty Bentear- Male urban-born Elven arcane trickster. Ambiguous in looks, romantic preference, and alignment. An occasional instigator (accidentally or otherwise) of all manner of nonsense.

Grizwal Shepard- Male Dwarven wizard. Best friend to Kal, and the closest the party can come to a common sense PC. Evoker by specialty, he likes nothing more than to fill a room with fire. Repeatedly.

Kaltheran Grey- Male Half-elf ranger/bard. Yet another member of a long line of legacy characters with the surname 'Grey', most of whom who also happen to be ranger/bards. Likes nothing more than to pine after his lady love and to defeat evil. Even if that evil happens to be in an egg, surrendering, or what have you.

Davikos the Mercenary- Male Human battlemaster. Know ever so artfully as 'Dave'. Started off as a no-nonsense mercenary, he's been traveling down a more bloodthirsty path ever since finding and wielding an evil sentient blade. Now treasure takes a backseat to the quest for ever greater kills!

Melisandre Weaver- Female Half-elf Cleric of Angharradh. The replacement cleric who was chosen by the group after their last cleric (A mute Half-orc named Turuk) was executed by the cult of the dragon. She's new, and is already a LITTLE appalled by the rest of the group.



Curse of Strahd Characters

Christoff Vonovich- Male Human Wizard. Haunted natural born Barovian, trained as Monster Hunter. Can hear spirits whispering secrets, and has recently found his specialization as a Diviner. Has the requisite distrust of strangers and penechant for dark humor that is necessary for all Barovians. My character.

Gillius Thunderhammer- Male Dwarven Cleric. Sturdy and dependable, doesn't worry nearly enough about vampires and other spooks. Known as 'Gil'. Worships the Dwarven God of Travel, peplexed my said God's sudden lack of communication.

Silvanis Thuleinn- Male Elven fighter working towards Eldritch Knight. Known as 'Stryker', uses a Glaive and has a very brash attitude. He is equally not nearly worried enough about vampires and spooks- the man just opens doors in a murder house willy nilly! Insanity.
