Session 3 is here, and what a doozy. Will what's left of the Company survive a clash with their deadliest foe yet?

Thanks all! This one was a nail-biter. If I had moved up further my party likely would have been wiped out. Next up I've got my first monster hunt. I'm having enough fun and work is winding down, so hopefully I'll be able to post a little more frequently than monthly very soon!

Bold and mighty deeds were done! I really enjoy the manner of telling, just wish the pics were bigger.   :-*

In the "leaves" or the actual post itself? I usually post on my pc and the pictures are gigantic so cut the size in half. If it's the "on the page" size, I do need to up my understanding of how to enlarge those without losing quality. My camera is already bad enough lol

My suggestions would be to take the photos out of the fancy scrollwork and have them be "full size." Have the decorated scroll for the text story, but intersperse photos with scroll sections. I know that your current way harkens back to an illuminated manuscript, but we like seeing pictures of minis here...  :D :-*

Just my suggestion. Either way, this is great stuff!

Trying our the "pictures outside the leaves" style to see what people think. This was a fun one, the first dungeon delve to hunt an aberration!











































Casualty rolls went very well, in spite of all the combat losses, with the exception of Fulke, who only survived thanks to the use of the Lucky Break! campaign card.

Great story! Wow -- that was some creature and hard to take down. I like the pictures outside the leaves, as you say. The little bit more in width makes a difference, I felt. Still -- it is your story, do as you like.  :)

Looking at it myself, I am inclined to agree that the extra width on the photos is a boon.
