Chadwick began suspended in mid-air beneath the bridge of the Observatory, spending about half an hour casting ritual spells. By the end of this preparation, he had made himself invisible, gained the ability to fly, and could see in the dark. With these advantages, he descended the vast distance toward the dark sea below. There, he observed a small island of crushed buildin…

Saturday the 13th am The session opened with the Magpies poised on the metal bridge deep within the Observatory. From somewhere above—near the Armoury and the Chiaroscuro stairs—came distant screams, followed by the faint glow of falling light. It didn’t take long to realise what had happened: the trap they had left behind had found victims among the sailors of the Laputa. Moments later, they heard an argument erupting above and then a body dropped from the darkness and struck the bridge with a sickening impact. It was Rex, once …

Petra (Thief, level 2) follows Clement. Ella (Bard, level 2) follows Clement. The Giant is Death, Death to the Giant! The session opened with the party scattered across the Observatory. Clement and Tomkin stood at the base of the Weighing Station. Xiaverine lingered below with the Salt Dryads. The rest—Melysee, Chadwick, and their companions—remained in the Mirror Cell, still carrying the unease of what they had glimpsed there. Those in the Mirror Cell chose caution and began retracing their steps toward the Nightingale Hall. Hea…

Questa era facile vero? strano che nessuno ci avesse ancora pensato. I giardini di marzo si vestono di nuovi colori, diceva uno. Aprile è il più crudele dei mesi, diceva un altro, perch...

Between them and the entrance to the Deep Carbon Observatory stretched the profundal zone: the dried basin of Reed Lake, where the Kapeks and the Reed People were beginning a war. The kapeks army The Magpies were steadfast allies with the Kapeks and committed themselves to the conflict. To determine the outcome, we resolved the battle using a one-off wargame. The result would decide who controlled Reed Lake—and, crucially, whether the territory immediately out…

amo con Nerdoledì di Shalafi: https://www.nerdcoledi.it/2025/10/15/quando-il-cattivo-non-e-malvagio-vecchio-carnevale-blogghereccio/ In questo post il problema della bontà o meno del "cattivo" di turno viene impostato bene, raccogliendo spunti molto vari e fornendo una buona cornice per il resto del discorso. Un lavore molto simile qui https://dietroschermo.wordpress.com/2025/11/03/buoni-o-cattivi-e-la-fine/ lo fa anche Bille, addentrandosi anche nei menadri filosofici della definizione di male (con particolare riferimento al sistema di allineamento, -non perdetevi i suoi contributi anche su questo tema, sono preziosissimi). Filippo nel sul Blog Bellicoso sceglie una via opposta, ma non per questo meno interessante. In questo post: https://ilblogbelli...

Eccoci nel 2025! Un altro anno di Dungeon Keys. Cominciamolo subito con carico d’avventura. Così, pam. A Novembre ho partecipato alla TPK! Total Party Kon a Milano1. Nonostante l’aria satura di raggi Mediaset, di quelli che bruciano i polmoni e prendono il controllo delle sinapsi materializzandoti l’ombra del Gabibbo nella visione periferica, devo dire che la con è stata davvero una figata. Ho...
