The Old School Board Game Parlor

Join in virtual play of classic old school board games! Primitive by today’s standard’s, these rare oldies-but-goodies bring back memories and kindle that OSR feeling.

How it works: Play order determined. Roll the dice (roller) in turn. After each game piece move, a picture will show the board. Repeat, etc. Intra-game conversation welcome. Handling of more specific rules will be done within each game.

Up first: Warlocks and Warriors, the 1977 game by TSR. Great vintage art from TSR artist Dave Sutherland.

And Star Trek, the vintage 1974 game from Hasbro. Beam me up!

OTHERWORLD SAGA

After 240+ chapters, the epic OtherWorld Saga concluded.

Current Magic Items
Unless ownership is noted, the items are in the Bag of Holding.

scrollbook of Derro savant : affect normal fires, hypnotic pattern 2, blink, levitate, ventriloquism 2, spider climb, minor creation 4, wall of fog 1

scroll of protection from elementals
- Necklace of Prayer Beads (DMG p. 151) (Amarantos)
- Torc of Truth (detects alignment and lies. Works on charges. Unknown number left.) (Kalious)
- Ring of Growth (like the potion, DMG p.126) (Wex)
- Potion of Rainbow Hues (UA, p. 91) (Deuce)
- Dragon face bone mask. Speak any dragon language. +2 on Saves vs. dragon breath.) (El-Kern)

- Eye piece of temporal projection - See one round into the future
- 8 necklaces with continual light cast on them - with leather covers and straps to tie (one for each party member.)
- scroll case with coin with continual light cast on it was given to hermit by Kalious

- Buckler Wand (Kor)
- scroll case with:
clerical: stone tell (Amarantos)
magic-user: geas (El-Kern)
druid: repel insects (Amarantos)
- scroll of limited wish (El-Kern)

- 4 silver tipped arrows +2 with Elven runes, suspected to me magical but not used yet (Kalios)
- bracers of defense AC 5 (Kor)
- a +2, +3 vs Kith purple hard stone dagger: (El Kern)
- dragon face bone mask (El Kern)
- skull of demon (El Kern)
- Rings from the Last Man - said to invoke powers of the multiverse (Wex, Ludrig, Kalious used theirs. Kor, El Kern don't have. Deuce didn't use his before his disappearance.)

- very small 1” miniature flasks - filled with clear liquid. (Deuce)
One vial is the urine of an angel, said to be a valuable component in the creation of certain golems. It has a pleasant scent and taste, according to one overly inquisitive sage.

The second vial is the tears of a virgin daughter of a powerful wizard. It is magical after all. This is a potion of sorts, the effects depend on whether they are tears of joy or sadness. The sages don’t know which it is. If joy, it dispels fear, confusion, sadness, and gives +1 to all rolls. If sad, it makes one depressed, -1 on all rolls, and a fumble causes one to contemplate suicide (percentage = intelligence, if successful then make suicide attempt.) (Deuce)

- 3 books
lexicon of languages (El Kern)
books to the afterlife (El Kern)
how to create stuff (El Kern)

BAG DESTROYED BY FIRE BREATH OF THE FOUR-ARMED GARGOYLE UNDER THE PYRAMID ON THE PURPLE PLANET.


Unless Otherwise Noted, Item is in Bag of Holding. Items claimed by specific party members are on their lists.

Scrolls:
Monster Summoning III[
Polymorph Self
Blood of Bleeding Mistress
Goat Form
Protection from Petrification
Ray of Enfeeblement (Kalious) (used on green dragon)
Web
Shield

Potions:
Strength
Levitation
Spider Climb
Purple potion from witch-man's cabin

From “alchemists” lab off balcony of level three in Barrier Peak dungeon:
• Two vials of clear liquid. One is acid that Ludrig sampled.
• Ceramic vial with liquid, color can’t be seen.
• Three vials of powders: green, white, pink. (DM reminder: see p. 5 for reference.)

Coins:
5,030 sp
750 gp
Cubes of gold and silver (200 gp)
100 pp
Harpy treasure: 200 gp in coin and small gems

30,000 gp for Ludrig

Gems and Jewelry:
5,000 in rubies of various sizes
Golden dragon head bust (40 gp)
“Trinkets” (500 gp)

Other Magic Items:
Cobra Crown of Visions (Gives the wearer strange visions involving them, or their friends, family or loved ones. Experimentation by the elves was inconclusive as to whether the visions become reality, for the subjects in the vision were not on hand to ascertain if they experienced what the crown wearer saw in his mind.)

Enlarging bread (now stale, perhaps moldy)

The Helm of Multiversal Perspective enables the wearer to view what they see in different, alternative realities and times. By manipulation of the two dozen, multicolored lenses in different combinations, the wearer can see various “versions” of what they behold. It is suspected one lens combination enables the viewer to see the past and/or future of the scene in their own reality, essentially serving as a time travel vision. Longer term experimentation will be needed to find this combination.

Ring of Speak with Dead when used in conjunction with the Ruby Enchanters book
Map of Otherworld (3 starred locations: Port of King Volcano, Weird Woods, Oberon’s Palace)
