Cybermancer

Request from one of my players – a new player – who, after realising my world wasn’t a typical “forgotten realm kitchen sink” setting but more a “dying earth, crossed with shadowrunner by way of the 80s” he requested to switch from a wizard to something more cybery. Here you go. CYBERMANCER Technomancers are metahumans […]

Clash of the Titans (Session X)

Game log for session 6 one of my players (my daughter) wrote – part of the Clash of the Titans campaign. For context, the party is meant to meet the oracle and have to be there within 7 days but it takes 6 days by Golden Barge, longer by normal ship. However, Rodrig the Blue Medusae […]

The Jabberwocky (CR 9)

Converted to 5e for my own reference to play The Gardens of Ynn (and/or The Land Beyond the Magic Mirror). Since I ended up geasing my party to fight the Jabberwocky I felt throwing a CR 15 version at a party of level 3 characters was over the top. This is a reduced threat version. […]

“THE” “Vorpal” Blade aka, the Dragonbone Smasher

The Court of White gifted my PCs with this rock-shaped-as-a-sword. Its power is only unlocked when it tastes the blood of the Jabberwocky. The court refers to it as “THE” “Vorpal” Blade (and they pronounce the quotes as well) it is not a Vorpal Blade, it is nevertheless a deadly anti-dragon weapon. Dragonbone Smasher “A […]

Gardens of Ynn Chess Set

Converted here for my own reference, statblock light. Built of earth elementals for the Court of the White Queen who is eternally at war with the Black Mountain King. My PCs decided to actually play chess and the Court of the White Queen won. As a reward, they received a wand of wonder, a bag […]

The Prismatic Trident

Stolen from Remixes and Revelations and updated for 5e. One of my players found this, but, due to a magical mishap, the trident was turend to pure-lead and lost its magical nature. Here it is in its original 5e converted form. The Prismatic Trident This is a trident with a handle made of solid iron […]

Clash of the Titans (Session VIII)

Game log for session 6 one of my players (my daughter) wrote – part of the Clash of the Titans campaign. For context, the party discovered the Golden Barge and is now traveling back to the capital of Crete to save the king with an antidote to the medusa poison. They are waylaid along the way […]

Clash of the Titans (Session VII)

Game log for session 6 one of my players (my daughter) wrote – part of the Clash of the Titans campaign. For context, the party discovered the Golden Barge and decided to take it, surprisingly, they succeeded. Never underestimate stubborn players. Soon the party discovered, The golden barge along the coast, As tall as the sky […]
