Dungeon Bingo with Old School Hack

Last night's game of Old School Hack was especially awesome. Oddyssey has a very generous write-up over at How to Start a Revolution in 21 Days or Less and I thank her and Gaptooth for joining the regular crew for the longest running one-shot in our campaign rotation. ;)

Thanks to Oddyssey for These!

Drawing inspiration from Christian, I decided to make my first hosted session in what seemed like ages into a sausage-grilling, alcohol swilling, cookie munching, and chocolate throwing spectacular. And true to the OSH ethos, I ran the entire adventure off the cuff based on the player character goals. And a first for the OSH sessions that I've run: every player character achieved their goas! These included:

• Guy-Ho the Patriarch of Great Hakuna found and sustained more followers for his lonely god. Indeed, he convinced the lovely ladies of the Gilded Lily bordello to open a franchise after a certain psychotic goblin set fire to a couch.
• Drak the Wizard took possession of "that jerkwad's" library of necromantic tomes after they raided his mountain stronghold and found him absent.
• In the same stronghold, Fiona the Swashbuckler was the first the win the affections of the baron's daughter. A fearless foe of all thing foul, she would have vanquished monsters for any old princess. This one, however, was well worth winning.   
• And speaking of monsters, Corey the Hunter and boomerang specialist managed to mount an only slightly-charred specimen of Slarg in his trophy room. Well, maybe it was a little more charred than he would have liked. A keg of gunpowder will do that...
• And then there was Gaptooth the Delusional Goblin. He won the Master Sword. Too bad it was inflatable and looked like something you'd buy a sex-toy shop.

Tried a new technique last night. I wrote down 10 WilderWords and 10 DungeonWords and tried to use as many of them as I could. A player noticed this and called in Dungeon Bingo. It worked quite well, I thought, even if several words were became ammunition for the giant Slarg throwing crap at the party from afar.

WilderWords: Beacon, Mist, Shelter, Mutagenic, Fangs, Purple, Stirges, Stench, Apes, Ferryman
DungeonWords: Mold, Viscous, Ceremony, Shattered, Boon, Diseased, Eyeballs, Possessed, Scorched, Ashes, Whispers
