I did some reassigning of points on the characters in our Underworld Vampire: The Masquerade campaign. I reduced the level of Fortitude for each character but reassigned the points into other disciplines, abilities and attributes.
More Dice Tales
Not long ago, the Wizards of the Coast website posted a number of legends, tales, and myths about gaming dice from various players. They have posted a few more at the bottom of this Tales of Summoning, Idols and Dice article. Remember, stealing the luck of babies is just wrong.
Game Results for October 19, 2006
Thursday’s Age of Worms game went well. The party continued its exploration of the temple of Myrkul, investigating the bedroom used by the slain acolytes of Myrkul. They also discovered a storage room filled with foodstuffs and other supplies. While most of the party was in the acolyte bedroom, Fruos pulled out his portable ram and charged through a door on the other side of the temple. Within, he found himself face-to-face with a huge centipede, two more acolytes, and the Faceless One himself! Fruos attempted to withdraw, but he was caught by a color spray effect, beaten on by a summoned fiendish ape and then stabbed to death with daggers.
Several party members tried to come to his rescue but found themselves grappled by the spirits trapped within the pillars of the main temple. The Faceless One and his cronies drove the party back with lightning bolt and summon monster spells. Eventually, the Faceless One caught them in the hallway trying to flee the temple and hit Thoril with another lightning bolt as he opened a door. The party moved into position and succeeded in flanking and killing the evil wizard and another acolyte.
A search of the Faceless One’s laboratory revealed several items of interest, including the key which allowed the group to read the cipher scroll. They also recovered a few items of magical power and some bit of treasure. Goodbyes were said to the fallen half-orc barbarian (i.e. they looted his corpse) and the party made camp in the store room after emptying some of its contents.

Gaming Events
The BG Gamers have had a series of Saturday gaming events recently, including PlemCon II and Halloween Hootenanny I. I’d like some feedback about them. Are they worth continuing? Are they coming too frequently? Infrequently? Do you like them being tied to the same night as UFC events? Are the door prizes worthwhile? What would you suggest for improvement?
World of Darkness Debut
The BG Gamers event, Halloween Hootenanny I, introduced the World of Darkness (specifically Vampire: The Masquerade) to a whole new group of players. It is quite a bit different from our normal Dungeons & Dragons game. I’m curious to see some feedback about the game. Specifically:
- What do you like about the Storyteller Game system?
- What do you dislike about the Storyteller Game system?
- If you could change anything about the game, what would it be?
