#D&D5E night - session 4 of #AgeofWorms

It's been awhile since I check in on my home TTRPG game. Our #AgeOfWorms game has officially died. Campaign fatigue, and a change in players got it.

Good news is we started 5E #SavageTide (in #Eberron) with a 5 hour session. Everyone is excited about the new campaign. I might shorten it though.

I can’t decide whether to run #AgeofWorms in #5e2024 or #Empireoftheghouls in #Talesofthevaliant for my next campaign. Has anybody got any experience of either campaign in any system?

Age of Worms Session 52: Curios and Curses Editor's Note: I wanted to ensure that this was posted. I've been slacking lately. I'm writing these summaries for my players so they have something to reference. We play twice a month, so it's good to have something to jog the memory. I post the session summaries on our World Anvil campaign page for them. I post them on my blog here on the off-chance that someone, someday, might Google "Age of Worms Pathfinder" and stumble across these posts. Maybe, just maybe, they'll gain a touch of inspiration for their own campaign.

A cursed medallion, a prince's ultimatum, and a cathedral consumed by hellfire. The Age of Worms tightens its grip. #Pathfinder #AgeOfWorms #DarkFantasy

Age of Worms Session 51: Investments and Interrogations Previously… Battered from Tymon’s fall and ambushed on the Sellen, the Ruinlords reached Salisgrad carrying the skull of a fallen High Councilor and the shattered Amulet of the Worldbreaker. The Black Gauntlet took notice. Inside the warded halls of iron and crystal, the party faced more than questioning—they faced the dead. Through the Vox Eidolon, Damaris channeled the bitter voice of Voragon Drakon, revealing grim truths: unfulfilled prophecy, cursed relics, and the Faceless One still pulling strings. Then the room cracked. A rift tore open. An Emberwrought Shade of Dahak surged forth.

Prince Voronov summons the Ruinlords. Gifts are given. Lies unravel. And in the depths of Salisgrad, a worm speaks with the Faceless One’s voice. Read now. #Pathfinder #TTRPG #DarkFantasy #DnD5e #RPGCampaign #ActualPlay #TabletopGaming #AgeOfWorms #EpicFantasy #HorrorRPG

Age of Worms Session 50: The Vox Eidolon Previously… Battered from Tymon’s fall and haunted by sacrifice, the Ruinlords fled down the Sellen aboard the Sandfly. Captain Lorune, desperate and indebted, planned to sell his prized iron golem armor in Salisgrad to keep his ship afloat. Wounds festered, both old and new—Tike's soul still scarred, Alfie’s healing stretched thin. At dusk beneath a ruined bridge, shadows struck. Ebon Triad cultists ambushed the ship, joined by a worm-ridden Seer and the devil Arnyx—now branded with the Triad’s mark. He demanded Voragon Drakon’s head. He got steel and fire instead.

A dead cultist speaks. A shade of Dahak rises. And Prince Voronov makes his move. The Ruinlords face prophecy, power, and politics in Salisgrad. Read now. #Pathfinder #TTRPG #AgeOfWorms #DnD5e #FantasyRPG #DarkFantasy #ActualPlay #RPGCampaign #TabletopGaming #Storytelling

Age of Worms Session 49: Heads Will Roll Previously… Midday in Tymon meant nothing under a sky strangled by green lightning. The Ruinlords pushed deeper into the city’s corpse, past broken gods and worm-ridden corpses, toward the Iron Baptistery—a shattered temple pulsing with defiance. Inside, they found Ebon Triad cultists twisting dead heroes into living weapons. Dunner fell, buying his friends a heartbeat. Alfie carved worms from his own flesh with a bloody arrow. Tike dove into sacred flame, rose reborn, and shattered the traitors with his fists—until Voragon Drakon arrived. The High Councilor wielded Dahak’s fire and the Medallion of the Worldbreaker, but not even his death curse could claim the city.

A bearded devil, Ebon Triad cultists, and a mystic Seer writhed with worms walked onto a bridge. The Ruinlords answered with blade and flame. One devil fell. One secret survived. The storm isn’t over—it’s evolving. #AgeOfWorms #Pathfinder1e

Age of Worms Session 48: Where Heroes Bleed Previously… Tymon fell. The Ruinlords ran—not from fear, but from finality. The Arena of Aroden drowned in silence as the Apostle of Kyuss was born in blood and prophecy. A thousand undead gladiators poured into the streets. Citizens became corpses. Corpses became wights. The Ruinlords fled through a collapsing city, hunted by death and haunted by everything they couldn’t save. Only magic kept them ahead of the tide—just barely. Vaz’non and Cal vanished through a tear in space. Tike, Alfie and Dunner braved the shattered Basilica of Desna, while Ekalim led the way toward one last flicker of hope.

Tymon burns. The Ruinlords fight through the wreckage of gods and gladiators, hunted by the dead and betrayed by prophecy. But Death can only be avoided for so long...

Age of Worms Session 46 – Last Breath of Tymon Previously… Chaos engulfed the Arena of Aroden as the Ruinlords faced Lorien Thalorin, whose body became a vessel for the monstrous titan, Xaathuun. Lorien barely contained the creature, collapsing from the strain. Saint Alduin mockingly questioned the heroes about Lorien’s fate, as unsettling truths emerged about Lahana’s past defiance of Loris Raknian. During their championship bout against Vixus and Khellek, disaster struck—the ground shattered, unleashing a horrific wormlike apostle summoned by Raknian himself. Panic erupted, leaving the Ruinlords caught between deadly enemies and the awakening nightmare beneath Tymon.

When the skies darken and prophecy awakens, even heroes fall—and tonight, Tymon pays the price.

Age of Worms Session 45 Recap: Worms Gone Wild Previously... The Champion’s Games erupted into chaos as the Ruinlords faced an unthinkable terror—the cursed arcanist Lorien Thalorin, transformed into a colossal titan that nearly destroyed the Arena of Aroden. Only Lorien’s desperate sacrifice prevented annihilation, leaving him broken on the bloodied sands. Saint Alduin mocked the Ruinlords with cryptic delight while Loris Raknian watched from above, fury simmering behind his composed façade. Not sure how we got here?

Age of Worms Session Recap: The Monster Within Previously… The Ruinlords faced their toughest battle yet in the Champion’s Games, pitted against stone giants corrupted by Theyrium. Before the dust settled, the Sapphire Squad attempted to strike…

The arena shook. The crowd screamed. The Ruinlords faced Xaathuun, the Unchained Maw—a legend of destruction made real.

Survival wasn’t guaranteed. But Saint Alduin’s twisted game isn’t over yet…

GM’d a big campaign session yesterday. The PCs were in Beast Mode, but I made them sweat with my five chromatic dragon knights. For me, running five “unique” characters against five PCs and not getting bogged down was a moral victory.
