OSR, D&D and the BroOSR

This was a great debate/discussion on inappropriate characters – though I felt the audience/Pundit were a bit harsh on Jeffro at some points. Though I dont agree with Jeffro he made some good points. My observations as someone who has been playing since 79/80 and went from B/X, BECMI to 1e AD&D in the mid […]

Clash of the Titans – APOKALYPSIS

PCs won but I am […]

Broodmother Skyfortress (5e)

For those that are not familiar with Dragonlords, the campaign is split into two parts. Part 1 is level 1 to 14 and part two […]

With the […]

My PCs did what they could to avoid combat with Quetzal and after she possessed a character, knocked that character out before fleeing back to their homeward – The Ninth World. Here are her 5e stats. I changed Quetzal to […]

Invader: Little Green (Wo)men from Outer-space – (mostly) 5e Compliant, 1-20

My daughter’s Amazon died at the hands of a Rat-Leopard at level 1. As she is in the maze I gave her the option to be a class/race that isn’t normally available in my world or campaign setting – as the Maze has a lot of strange creatures in it. Her requirements amounted to “I […]
