MORE FUNGI FOR THE UNDERDARK

I am prepping for my next campaign – Out of the Abyss – and the adventure path clearly has a touch of whimsy with more than a passing resemblance to Lewis Carroll’s Wonderland. They even say as much in the preface. So I went back and read the two 1e adventures that are much more directly […]

Gamifying Stealth in D&D

It occurred to me last night at a D&D game that stealth gameplay is uninteresting for everyone who isn’t involved. It is nearly always a solo activity. I was thinking of ways around this and plan on using this for my game. Get a deck of cards. Have two matching monsters in the deck. In […]

CHARACTER RACE: KOROBOKURU (NOPON)

After playing both Xenoblade games back-to-back I have a soft spot for Nopon’s, in particular the Heropon Riki. I wanted to introduce them into my game as inter-planar traders. After reading Dead Gods I think these would make perfect replacements fro the ratatosk – but a much more amiable and intelligent race than those […]

Monstrous Compendium: Visage

I am taking a DM’ing break after the Iron Gods Adventure Path while a friend runs Horde of the Dragon Queen. Nice to be a player again. However I am thinking about my next campaign which I want to be set in Planescape. One of the contenders is Dead Gods as the core of the Planescape game. One of the […]

IRON GODS DM RETROSPECTIVE

From the Paizo thread of the same name. Will just paraphrase myself : So we finished the campaign last night. It took us 18 months to get through and here is my opinion of the whole thing as the DM. I bit off more than I could chew taking this Pathfinder game and converting it to […]

IRON GODS: CHARACTER EPILOGUE

First, an epilogue for my PCs, The Crimson Lotus, with links to their final character sheets. My opinion as the DM to follow tomorrow : Sylvanus, after her noble sacrifice protecting Charisma “The Living Bomb” il Xafra, refuses to return when Tufast calls her back with a True Resurrection spell. To the chagrin of the Thorite […]

UNITY Dialogue

Idea is to use them when appropriate though I do have keyed ones as well. KEYED Voice is female, there is always noise in the background and a static-transmission when UNITY starts and stops. Entrance – “You have thrived and become unruly. And now you seek to destroy me… I will not allow that.” […]

From the Diary of Rikku the Thief: Iron Gods Session 36

DM’s Note: The last game log entry for the campaign! The Crimson Lotus Gang: Charisma, a “human” -mutant- sorceress whose power source is Gamma Radiation which she was exposed to as a child. As a child of the Atom her hair goes green in the presence of radiation and she progressively gets greener the […]

XENOS: THE WATCHFUL

I essentially created a cut-down version of Paajget with some extra abilities inspired by the monster entry in the adventure. In reality, they would have just been road-humps to the party. THE WATCHFUL Dark Eldar Witch Medium fey (dark eldar), lawful evil Armour Class 17 (natural plus shield) Hit Points 145 (17d8 + 68) Speed […]

From the Diary of Sylvanus the Monk: Iron Gods Session 35

The Crimson Lotus Gang: Charisma, a “human” -mutant- sorceress whose power source is Gamma Radiation which she was exposed to as a child. As a child of the Atom her hair goes green in the presence of radiation and she progressively gets greener the more powerful spells she casts (and as she gets angry). She has […]
