My MU is attacked by multiple mini fire breathing dragons and is killed in round 3. In round 4 three more breathe fire on my corpse and I only make 2 of 3 saves (that Allan made me roll). Currently at -32 HP and still under attack...

The rest of the party managed a strategic rearwards advance back out of the underground, licked our wounds, and recruited two new adventurers that were amazingly similar to our two fallen comrades.

Now let's see if our second expedition lasts longer than seven turns.

I have a great idea. Let's pixel-bitch each unusual feature encountered.

3.5 hours of play; 2 rooms

And we just had a snuffleupagus fart a noxious cloud of evil musk all over us.

Described by Allan as Chainsaw musk.

I got elected mapper. Good thing there was a booth nearby that was selling mapping supplies that I could just steal a pad from.

That's it. Allan's name's added to the back of the Number of the Beast paper in the Phylactery of Evil.

Playing in Dennis Sustare's Oxford Tarot game. My bard seduced Anne Boleyn while the rest of the party was fighting her executioner.

It's a cool puzzle game with lots of obscure trivia in play.

Does NTRPG con mostly take place in a single room? I've see that vendors share the space with the gaming tables.

Tony, there's a big main room and several smaller board rooms. Currently, we take over the whole place.
