NEW BLOG! - The Dead God’s Deliverance: Part 1

[Maya Coleman]

The Order of the Amber Die team has been waiting for years to play Erik Mona's The Dead God's Hand Adventure, and the time has finally come! Get highlights and details about this worth-the-wait adventure in today's blog!

Maybe it’s just me but the information on this blog page isn’t the easiest to grok. I suggest telling the story either narratively or find some other way to give the highlights. The structure seems kind of random, especially for those like myself unfamiliar with the Order of the Amber Die.

I, for one, always welcome the chance to see the Order of the Amber Die in action!!

The Aroden 5?

Is this a music band?

Or a sports score? Aroden 5 - Starstone 0

edit Just checked the lore, maybe aroden 5 - xulgaths 0 might be more numerical correct, and lore correct.

I confess that all I know of the Amber Die comes from this pair of blogs and a previous one detailing their dwarven diversion in the Sky King's Tomb. The pictures of their table and terrain are quite evocative, and it sounds like they have a blast! But as someone who's also been patiently waiting these years for the adventure, it excellently whetted my appetite for more Aroden lore and I loved the sneak peek at what awaits :D

For those who are new to Order of the Amber Die and their great work, definitely take a look at our previous blogs from them! They're a great group of players, and we appreciate the feedback here as well!

Fair! We feel the same way sometimes, word count is an elusive and challenging enemy to face! Our main job is to play (a lot), and so we end up trying to condense dozens of hours of play into a consumable size as a light report, which can be hard to do. In the 2010s, we tried various narrative formats and received feedback that it was sometimes too linear/narrative. Eventually we settled on something in the middle, with highlights and a general idea of what is happening. We've heard people say that it's important to have already read the intro blog for our projects, so there is always that too -- but most importantly we'll show up here or on these post-blog threads to answer any and all questions about the playthrough!

Thanks for these words of encouragement, they keep us inspired to play more Pathfinder and take the game to new heights! If we whetted your appetite for more Aroden lore and The Dead God's Hand, then we achieved our goal -- this has been one of our favorite playthroughs!
