This week's post is about a new game! (at least for me) A few days ago me and my partner, while planning what to do next in our GMless 5e campaign Peace and Redemption (here's the links to the recaps of session 1 and sessions 2 & 3 ) we were talking about the fact that our characters had just reached the "wild" half of the continent, Utrad, and so far the only thing we knew about said continent was that it was big and populated by wandering tribes of various kinds of humanoids, and a couple of landmarks that came up when we first made the map, and that was it. We could've let the dice and the fate chart decide stuff on the spot during the sessions, but my partner espressed the wish to flesh the area a bit more a bit before diving into it, and that's when I had the idea. Recently I started planning (although I have not started it yet) an idea about playing a series of solo games where I would first create a world, then put some landmarks in it, then create...

This week I'm bringing you the recap of the second and third session of the GMless 5e game me and my partner play every now and then (we don't have a dedicated day at the moment). While the system we chose is 5e and we use Mythic as our GM emulator, I decided to sprinkle some old-school rules here and there to make the game more interesting without it getting too crunchy or cumbersome: for example, during the travel scenes I roll to see if there's a random encounter about 3 times per day, and when an encounter does happen, reaction rolls help us decide whether said encounter is going to end up in a combat or not (as you'll see below). Like the first part, this recap is written by Tancaliel, my partner, and does not include the dice rolls like I do in my solo sessions, but nonetheless it should not be difficult to catch the spots where rolls happened. Enjoy! Caezora and Einar meet with Father Paric to discuss the practical details of the mission. A teleportation network ...

 Hello everyone, and welcome back to Delving Wolf! Today I will post the recap of the first session of the 5e GMless campaign me and my partner played on the first evening of the year, but before getting to that, a few notes about the campaign. We decided to start it a few months ago, I had the idea because our IRL group was imploding (then it didn't, then it did again...it's a story for another post), and we had a session 0. We decided 5e as the system because at the time we both had only experience in that, starting at level 3 to not be too frail (looking back at it now that I'm more into OSR, this is ironic) with Mythic GME for the fate chart and random events; I chose a Ranger and my partner chose a Cleric.  We made the world map that you can see in the picture with the ageless method of pouring rice on the paper and marking the edges of the world, then throwing dice on it to mark mountains, towns, lakes and the like. Then we didn't touch it for a while, because bei...
