The Phour Phandeleers – Session 08 – Side B

Posted on by gmcolin

Hello Listeners!

This week is Session 08 Side B of The Phour Phandeleers, a continuation of our Lost Mines of Phandelver Campaign with some special tweaks. We’re using the Storm Kings Thunder adventure module from Wizards of the Coast with heavy modifications as our campaign framework and using is a slightly modified version of Realms of Terrinoth, a version of the Genesys Roleplaying System by Fantasy Flight Games.

In this series, you’ll hear Alex play Hal, a Firbolg Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton plays Krask, a Lizardfolk Paladin. Matt plays Rwrarp (pronounced like the frog sound), a Grung Necromancer. And Colin was running this chaos… I mean game. All of the characters had been given 150 xp to spend which may have been roughly equivalent to a 2nd tier adventurer in D&D. Since this was a conversion, we were willing to be wrong about that.

This is our final episode.

Way back in February or March of 2020, we recorded this episode the week before the pandemic began and we stopped meeting up in person (for obvious reasons). We, like everyone else, figured we could “wait out” the Covid conditions so we started playing a pickup game online to tide us over.

Now it’s more than a year later, we’ve played a few games since that little pick-up we started in March 2020, we completely exhausted our backlog for the podcast, we’re still not sure when we can get back to recording the way we like to, and we’ve all sortof moved on from this game series in our hearts and minds. In spite of how hilarious and wonderful it was to play.

We discussed our options as a group and the Wednesday Night Crew has decided that we’re going to put the podcast on hiatus.

The delay until new episodes will last until we can get back on track with recording and develop a few episodes of backlog.

Thank you all so much for coming along on our hobby journey with us! It’s been a pretty awesome few years letting you guys have a peak into our gaming lives.

Without further adieu, here’s this week’s episode in which we finish up the second round of combat and the players end up getting back into the hot water right at the end of the session.

Please, enjoy the show!

Hello Listeners!

This week is Session 08 Side A of The Phour Phandeleers, a continuation of our Lost Mines of Phandelver Campaign with some special tweaks. We’re using the Storm Kings Thunder adventure module from Wizards of the Coast with heavy modifications as our campaign framework and using is a slightly modified version of Realms of Terrinoth, a version of the Genesys Roleplaying System by Fantasy Flight Games.

In this series, you’ll hear Alex play Hal, a Firbolg Bard. Kaetlyn plays Uitzash, a Warlock in service to Dendar. Kolton plays Krask, a Lizardfolk Paladin.

All of the characters had been given 150 xp to spend which may have been roughly equivalent to a 2nd tier adventurer in D&D. Since this was a conversion, we were willing to be wrong about that.

In today’s episode we get through round 1 of our first combat session of Genesys RPG, Realms of D&D.

Hal attempts subterfuge to get his way, the rest of the NPCs and Krask take the brute force route, and the casters attempt, with varying levels of success, to do some magic! Meanwhile, the players crack some pretty good jokes.

This is our penultimate episode.

We’ll make a full announcement about what that means and what the plan is for the future next week during the episode.

In this week’s episode shopping continues! The party bought pastries including a magnificent cake. Hal bought a large portion of meat, reportedly as owlbear food, and a cart to drag it around in. He also bought a live chicken for Krask. Rwrarp freaked out a haberdasher when he had Greg retrieve his shiny new wizard hat. And they convinced a snake to show them to a place to stay.

A good time RPing was had by all.

Finally getting some puns back into the rotation!

Please, enjoy the show!

Actual ending of the episode is at 31:30. For some reason there’s about 23 minutes of silence that compiled at the end of this episode. Please ignore this technical difficulty.
