The High Road

Posted by in Dungeons and Dragons

Chapter 2: The Seven Suns Coster Market Located in the heart of Neverwinter’s Protector’s Enclave, the Seven Suns Coster Market is an open-air market where merchants set up stalls daily to sell their wares. Great archways lead into the courtyard of a plaster building decorated in shades of ochre and mustard. Banners of red fabric stretched across the courtyard provide shade for the bustling market below, where crows of citizens browse the well-stocked stalls that line each wall. “This is definitely the place” explains Elivania, “I’d like to find a…read more

Our first Dungeons and Dragons campaign

Posted by in Dungeons and Dragons

A few months back my son said he wanted to play a campaign of D&D with the family, but he didn’t want to be the dungeon master. I volunteered to DM despite having no experience even playing D&D before. I buried myself in books and websites and learned some tricks of the trade. We started playing a few weeks ago, and I started to take notes, so I’m going to keep our session notes here from now on, as the textblock in dndbeyond.com was getting full. Enjoy!

Posted by in Travel

Dobrý večer, A few days after I arrived in Prague my friend Guy asked me if I had any plans to see an opera or classical music while I was here. To be honest the thought hadn’t crossed my mind. I had never thought of myself as an opera guy, and while I like classical music at times it was never anything I thought about seeing live. Perhaps in my old age I’ve learned to appreciate these things because after he mentioned it I starting looking up local performances. To…read more

Living in Prague – Week 1

Posted by in Travel

Dobrý den, I have been living in Prague, Czech Republic for one week now so I hope I have at least some sense now of how it is and how it will be while I’m here. The week started rocky, with my Sunday evening flight out of Toronto delayed just after boarding at 1800 due to ice on the parking area. The plane was unable to taxi out to the runway because it couldn’t get any grip on the ice. We waited 2 hours for them to spread sand around…read more
