Statistics are like a bikini. What they reveal is suggestive, but what they conceal is vital.

At the risk of being my nerdiest, most boring post ever (and there are some real contenders) I thought I’d share this with you all. I found this stat log of earlier games of Castle Ravenloft over the past couple of years – about 90 games’ worth (or approximately 4 days of solid gaming )! These are mostly before introducing our Complete Campaign Rules with event cards, etc and use 2 surges unless stated otherwise.

Lords of Waterdeep – NinjaDorg gets his arse kicked

Her irony loaded words filled me with a heady mixture of expectation management but also pride:“Okay then, let’s get this boring board game over with so we can watch another episode of The Walking Dead.”My wife is not a gamer.

Drizzt Vs Strahd – The Hunt For Strahd Part 2

Drizzt and Artemis and Vs Count Strahd – The Hunt For Strahd Part 2 We have played a LOT of the D&D Adventure System.  But I can’t tell you the number of times we’ve lost to this scenario.  Actually I can: every time we’ve played it.  But this time we were determined to defeat the evil Count.  So much so, in fact, that we also agreed to follow the adventure book’s advice for when you’re feeling down and take three healing surges with us instead of two.  Two surges is just never enough for this high level scenario.  Especially when...
