Okay my friends, it’s like my first blog update ever on Streets & Spores I think. Been writing this blog for 9 years (that’s crazy) and well, I’m not much of a dedicated blogger really. Always thought of this as my ttrpg personal journal first and foremost but y’know, some people read this and I’m happy about that.

So here we go, vacation near a end, which means I’ll get back to write more frequently. Perfectly logical I tell you. I also have a bit of a backlog to get through, with several sessions of Gunderholfen to write about. Campaign is progessing well & fast. It’s really fun too but I’m still experimenting with how I want to proceed, not the exploring part mind you that’s up to the players but the surrounding gameplay part if that make sense, and I have the sinking feeling that everything will click in my head only when we’ll be near the end of it. I’ll have to do some post-mortem for sure but we have a long way to go still.

Nothing for Frosthaven for the moment for those interested on that front, but we’ll get back to play soon enough I think. We’re more than halfway through and we intend to finish the game.

Also, as long as I’m updating, I’ve decided recently that my Gunderholfen campaign will be exclusively for my kids. My sister and nephew missed too many sessions by now. The last time they played, a few weeks ago, was for a 5E session that they kept pestering me to have until I gave in and did a truly abysmal, halfassed effort that still somehow seemed to make them happy, sigh. I mean, I had good hopes for my nephew to convert him to a more hmm, humble playstyle, after all he truly loved our Castle Xyntillan campaign, that much was obvious. But no, still wanted to play 5E and have an entire session seeking to fish a crit with a maxed-Ki Air Punch or some such so he could do the most damage for his monk character on a single attack… Man, I love him, and he’s only 16 yo, but thats’a bit heartbreaking.

But moving on, another thing that should happen in the coming months hopefully is a new campaign with my older son and some of his teenager friends (and his younger brother too, as always) with me as the DM. Another published osr megadungeon, can’t get enough of those, this time it’ll be The Forgotten Caverns of Archaia by Greg Gillepsie. For once with the intended system, Dragonslayer, That should be interesting.

What else? I’m slowly working on my own megadungeon, I’ll try to pick up a better pace if I can.

My younger son is still improving and is immensely creative with his dungeon-craft and I’ll try to write about this too.

I also have several non-play reports drafts to complete, probaly will get to it this autumn.

Lastly, prompted by 52 Monsters and its excellent author Brian Garthwaite, I’m thinking of being a bit more active on sharing some other blogs content. Could add a blogroll too, I read a lot of interesting stuff from other people after all. We’ll see.

Heh, that’s it for this update, oher post coming soon!
