Nothing like a bunch of deliveries at the same time! Waiting for the second haul. Really excited to run some games!

Slightly disappointed that I didn't realize the #dco version on lulu was not the remaster but oh well, still a cool book

Eager to make up for their sins, the party set the rest of the captains crew up with a nice pension, split the take evenly with the tribe of Reed Warriors and charged them with keeping watch over the entrance, after plugging it with stone to mud bombs and rubble.

The two remaining PCs got some nice epilogues - highlights included using the tear of time to undo a henchmans death and guiding the tox-men home to their plane. 3/3 #DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory #WhiteHack

Later, they found that once you crossed the threshold of murder and human sacrifice, it's easier to justify the next one. Unfortunately, 🐌 Zarathustra's crew didn't want to be sacrificed like their captain. Three more sailors died in the struggle. But in the end, most of the observatorys wondrous treasures were salvaged. 2/3 #DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory #WhiteHack

In the final episode of our #DeepCarbonObservatory campaign, the descent into darkness continues, but only figuratively. After marveling at the wonders of the Kyriarchs royal suites, the party managed to avoid tragedy after lying about their role in Captain Zarathustras death to lovable rascal Wit Tamdoun, who picked up the Kyriarchs Sceptre - which compels you to destroy liars. 1/3 #DCO #WhiteHack

Today, in our penultimate session of #DeepCarbonObservatory, the 'heroes' experimented with azimoths, rescued an ancient slave, and after failing to activate a stone to mud bomb, opted for human sacrifice. Their pesky sponsor Snailshell Zarathustra was fed to a giant adamtine snake, giving them access to the inner chambers of the Observatory - the Kyriachs Throneroom. #DCO

We finally returned to Deep Carbon Observatory this Sunday. The party defeated the horrid giant, cut their friends loose from his stomach and gave them a proper burial. Then they returned to loot the Observatory. #DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory

This week, the players continued their exploration of the Observatory. Met some nice but haughty salt dryads. Their opium addled companion, the cursed wizard Von der Linth, got eaten by a giant. They sought protection from the dryads in exchange for a promise to find a stolen heart, and were granted a night of rest. On their way up they were followed by the giant, and the Shadowdancer fell during their fighting retreat. #DCO, #DeepCarbonObservatory, #sessionReport #whitehack

I have been reading #DeepCarbonObservatory recently for the first time - yes I know it's been out for ages. I'll probably never run it as I don't run fantasy #ttrpg games generally.

However I can absolutely see myself pulling bits and using them. I could make a whole #Starfinder scenario out of just one of the underground rooms. (If I ran SF any more which I don't.) Dark tech fantasy was precisely my jam in SF - I actually don't like mixing tech & fantasy in games but SF is designed for that.

@florik my players picked up Dunekdib of the Reed People from a log, and sided with the villagers in an epic showdown. Pufferfish mines enhanced with wormomantic incantations where used to great effect. Interesting to see where your players come down in this age long conflict, I'm sure the kapeks have legitimate grievances too. 😁 🐸#DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory

Today in Deep Carbon Observatory, the PCs let loose three tox-men who turn everything they touch to deadly poison, set a flying caterpillar-carpet demon ablaze and found a opium addled wizardess hiding behind a rock sample from a creepy giant. All in a days work. I'm sure none of this will come back to haunt them. #SessionReports #DCO #DeepCarbonObservatory

Running DCO a second time, this time for bunch of lvl.1 - 5 PCs in one of my sandbox campaigns and I'm thinking.
I'm thinking that actually interesting parts of that adventure are actually just the rival adventuring party and the observatory itself, and that the area the adventure takes place is isn't even that great for getting maximum use out of the rivalling party.
