Dungeons & Drogans 2: Sessions 3 and 4

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Tuesday, January 24, 2012, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

Session 3 and Session 4 of the Drogan's adventures in Thunderspire Labyrinth are now live on YouTube. Listen to how they deal with the Bloodreavers in the Chamber of Eyes.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield for these two sessions.

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Session 3 went swimmingly. Well, apart from the initial sour plan -- it did amuse me that they thought the Bloodreaver lair was a convenience store, a 7/11 for slaves. But once they kicked down the door and ent...

Dungeons & Drogans 2: Session 2

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Monday, December 5, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

Session 2 of the Drogan's adventures in Thunderspire Labyrinth is now live on YouTube. Listen to how they deal with prisoners of war.

SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

This session was surprisingly unproductive -- I'd planned for roughly half an hour of dialogue and planning before the Drogans headed to the Chamber of Eyes. Who would have predicted a full hour would have gone to dealing with that stupid hobgoblin? Well, the players seemed to enjoy making him crap his pants, so if it was...

Dungeons & Drogans 2: Session 1

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Monday, November 21, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

Strap yourselves in, folks -- the Drogans' new adventure has begun, and Session 1 is now live on YouTube.

Click here for a full-size view of this session's battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

It's been two months since I'd played any D&D -- which is a long hiatus after playing twice a week for a couple years -- so I was a little rusty going into tonight's session. I had a case of The Giggles and could barely get through two sentences without bursting into a fit of laug...

D&D Tournament: Coltaine vs. Rekoj

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Sunday, November 13, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

The final match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Coltaine vs. Rekoj.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Wow. What an exciting conclusion to this series.

Match one, Coltaine fought an uphill battle against sour luck, and Rekoj completely dominated the battle, hammering Coltaine into submission and setting up the warlord for an exciting comeback.

Match two, luck turned to Coltaine's side as the warlo...

D&D Tournament: Rekoj vs. Rhekd

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Sunday, November 6, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

The sixth match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Rekoj vs. Rhekd.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Well, that was exhausting.

Rhekd didn't have a snowball's chance in any of the Nine Hells of Baator. The only way Rhekd could win a match was by sending Rekoj down the pit -- and Dave fought tooth and nail to make that happen.

It's unfortunate that you guys couldn't see the notes Dave was sending m...

D&D Tournament: Coltaine vs. Sorrow (and Return From Vacation Notice)

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Sunday, October 30, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

The fifth match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Coltaine vs. Sorrow.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

I'm always happy when a match-up goes the full three games.

Both players brought their A-game; bother characters were evenly matched, but Coltaine squeezed out the win thanks to Nick's clever use of the battlefield. A win well-deserved.

There really isn't much more analysis to be had here -- Ni...

D&D Tournament: Autumn vs. Rekoj (and Vacation Notice)

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Wednesday, September 28, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

The fourth match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Autumn vs. Rekoj.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Rekoj won. Nothing to see here; move along.

Seriously, this match-up had a foregone conclusion. With different players controlling the characters, the battle may have been less one-sided, but anyone who knows Stephen's play style will not be surprised at the outcome.

I believe it would have been p...

D&D Tournament: Rhekd vs. Zook

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Tuesday, September 20, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

The third match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Rhekd vs. Zook.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

With regards to the bets that were placed, this was, by far, the closest match-up, but for the third time in a row, the majority of betters picked the winner.

Going into this match, I thought Zook would take it. I knew Rhekd would have a tremendous ability to heal, but I also knew his offensive capabi...

D&D Tournament: Morgan vs. Sorrow

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Sunday, August 28, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 

The second match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Morgan vs. Sorrow.

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

Once again, the majority of betters picked the winner -- no upset this week. Although the series went to three games, I wouldn't call this one close. Take away Morgan's lucky one-hit KO in the first round and this could have easily been a 2-0 win for Sorrow.

Morgan definitely had the right arsenal ...

D&D Tournament: Coltaine vs. Win'tyr

The first match-up for the Dungeons & Drogans PvP Tournament has been posted -- Win'tyr vs. Coltaine .

Click here for a full-size view of the battlefield.


SPOILERS BEYOND THIS POINT

I was surprised to see the overwhelming majority of people bet on Coltaine, because I honestly didn't feel the match-up had an obvious outcome. But I'm definitely happy that the tournament kicked off with so many viewers winning money.

The matches really were close -- in both cases, Coltaine was bro...

A Drogans fan who goes by the name of ZeeMastermind drew up a loving rendition of the original three Drogans. Rekoj, Jacques and Coltaine stand together, ready to embark on their first adventures in Winterhaven.

When I shared this piece of fan art with the rest of the gang, we were all amazed, impressed, and thrilled.

We may not have thousands of fans, but the fans we have are awesome. Thanks,

Dungeons & Drogans: Q&A Session

Posted by CJ Miozzi on Friday, August 5, 2011, In : Dungeons & Drogans 
The first adventure in our Dungeons & Drogans campaign came to an end a couple months ago, and we recently had a Q&A session in which we replied to questions asked by YouTube listeners.

During our round table discussion, I asked a question and had each player answer in turn, starting with Doug, then moving to Dave, Stephen, John, and Nick. You'll notice that halfway through I reverse that order, starting with Nick -- it wasn't because Doug was giving "bad" answers, but because his comical answ...
