Hexplore24 Day 26/366

 


Another brutal TPK...


Team Gamma began exploring the first underground level of the weird crystalline structure. Unfortunately, Agrl was attacked and killed by a slug-like Sistsniss. The rest of the party continued through the rooms, nearly falling into a pit trap before gaining entrance to a hallway that lead to another door. This door was also trapped and dropped them all through a chute to the second level. They made it as far as the second room, then promptly were killed by a Mangore as they were trying to exit it.


I will note that the Mangore was down to a single hit point and multiple morale checks kept it in the fight. Crazy how that can happen.

#hexplore24

The viral #dungeon23 challenge put forth by Sean McCoy https://seanmccoy.substack.com/p/dungeon23 is coming to an end as of December 31st. For myself and many others it has been apart of our daily lives, one room at a time. It’s gonna feel a little weird on the 1st when that aspect of my morning ritual goes away.  Like I’ve forgotten something, but can’t put a finger on what it was. So, I’ve decided to cobble together a few ideas for a project that will replace #dungeon23. I’m calling it #hexplore24 and I’ll give a “brief" outline of what that’ll entail.  The gist: 1) Exploration of an unknown territory. Grab your favorite hexcrawl generator!! 2) 1:1 time. One actual day = one game day. In other words, there are 366 days and you play one day per day. 3) No mindless “plot following”. There is no regular pre-scripted story. It is a sandbox game. There is no mysterious old man sending the characters on quests. No overarching plot, just an overarching environment. If this sounds

Hexplore24: Day 1/366

In the embrace of Barsoom’s arid expanse, the rugged mountains rose like ancient titans, their peaks piercing the cerulean skies. Hrul Marak, Ptormed, Haj Uljat, and the enigmatic Khem journeyed through this formidable terrain, their every step resonating with the echoes of a dying world lost to time. From the walled town of Emtor, their sanctuary amidst the hills, the intrepid party ventured forth, guided by the relentless pursuit of discovery that defines this perilous expedition. With each passing hour, the jagged mountains loomed ever larger, their rocky visages a testament to the unforgiving nature of Barsoom’s landscape. For relentless hours, they traversed the unforgiving terrain, their footsteps echoing through the rugged mountains as the sun cast its golden embrace upon jagged peaks. Yet, as the day waned and the shadows grew longer, the encroaching darkness heralded the onset of night, casting an ethereal glow upon our path.  With torches in hand, they pressed on, the flicker
