Message Board for your D&D Game

I am running my PCs through Hommlet and ToEE using the Castle & Crusades rules and running the adventures as (mostly) originally written. One thing that became a hit with my PCs was a message board I setup in the tavern of the Welcome Wench and updated week to week. Many of these items were […]

C&C Warlock

A C&C/OSR Warlock for my players – inspired by both the DCC warlock and the optional Basic Fantasy Warlock. This completes my attempt to mechanically differentiate arcane spellcasters from the base magic-user/wizard. The sorcerer can be found here. Not play tested. WARLOCK All warlock share the following base class abilities, otherwise, the patron determines the specific benefits […]

Clash of the Titans – APOKALYPSIS

After 63 sessions over 17 months, the Clash of the Titans campaign finished up yesterday. I am running the Odyssey of the Dragonlords as the basic campaign ticking in the background so my PCs confronted Lutheria (renamed to Nyx) and the 8 Forgotten Gods (Sunken City Empyreans) in their palace. PCs won but I am […]

LEVEL 0 CHARACTER CREATION FUNNEL You start as level 0 characters (nobodies) and must survive the adventure to get to level 1, at which point you can then pick a class.

Adimarchus/Phaeros (Boss Fight for 5e)

During the early days of 3.5e I ran the Shackled City Adventure Path. I and my players really enjoyed this first Adventure Path, however, one thing I never liked was the final boss fight with Admiarchus. The way the battle was designed and the way 3.5e combat rules work it ended up just being a […]

MERRY XMAS!

I bring you good news of great joy! —Luke 2:10 (ESV) …and Happy New Year for 2022… let’s hope 2022 isn’t part three of a terrible trilogy of years and more like an Ewok Party.

YOU ARE DEAD (or Hardcore/AD&D for D&D 5e House Rules)

Collected rules for my 5e game. To keep the game feeling sword and sorcery (and challenging the whole campaign) the following AD&D inspired rules will be in play. Everyone starts at level 0 as a nobody. Character stats and races are determined randomly via a character funnel. Though there is no restriction on class, your […]

The Golden Apple Incident

One of my players drew this which was a chaotic moment triggered by a random encounter. The comic will need some context. My players are traversing the Plangent Wizard’s maze – converted for 5e, modified for my campaign. The random encounter rolled was “thieving crabs”. The party has no one proficient in Perception so they […]

Vampire King Boss Fight (5e)

I built this for Curse of Strahd some time back but never got to use it as my PCs voted not to play Curse. I dug this up as my PCs as part of my Clash of the Titans campaign when they went to visit the Blood King as a Halloween adventure, and, of course, ended […]
