Dragonkin

Icon Leave Comment
Like their ancient adversaries, the Giants, the Dragons are extinct. The last of their number perished at the hands of adventurers, paving the way for the new expansion. But they have many relatives that still walk the surface of Isterra.

Kobolds
The most noteworthy of the dragonkin, kobolds also consider themselves the only true inheritors of...

The Order of Fafl (or, 'How I learned to Dismiss extraplanar tax-collectors')

Icon Leave Comment
While preparing the current campaign I'm hosting (evil campaign), I jumbled in several ideas I had over the years, one of which was an order of "Realm Defenders". A religious order specifically dealing with extraplanar incidents and breaches into the native plane.

Consequentially, it was obvious I would (heavilly) use the...

In Swansea

Icon Leave Comment
I, Nagmar son of Kerrek, set down these words so all
may know of my great deeds.


We are in Swansea, the home of Mordreth and Cham. The
city is quite different then the others I’ve been to.
It seems to change people.

We are staying at Mordreth’s home across the lake from
the city. His family is welcoming and Mordreth is
laughing and smiling....

How to start a fight

Icon Leave Comment
It's not as simple or as easy as it seems. It can be really complicated and sort of [FLOPPED] up. Especially on the streets of Swansy. On the streets of Swansy there's sort of a honorable (if you want to use the word) guide to fighting. Let me give ya some examples.

Example 1: Your drinking a nice cool ale at your favorite watering hole....

The Death of d20 Final Horizon

Icon Leave Comment
Though three months old news in my heart and mind, I think I'm compelled to relate to those few that have examined my blog about the death of my experimental d20 Future setting.

My work on Final Horizon d20 taught me a number of things. Firstly, you can't alter the basic mechanics of d20 too much. Even balancing everything else against...

22nd Radiant Crown

I haven't written much lately but seem to have ample time now. Quite a bit has happened in the last week. We've made our way down to the city of Seraport; while the city is large and impressive it was nothing compared to my first look at the sea. It's almost incomprehensible that there can be that much water and it just goes on as...

Freedom's Paean -- Entry 11

Freedom's Paean
Danger mounts like fell beasts circling the eaves of a castle’s spires. Its been a while since I wrote. Time to myself has been rare and I have found few precious moments to pen my thoughts.

My heart twists, restless. I do not favor the sea. Mine is the waving and rolling plains and valleys. Place me within legions of...

Avataro Blog Cancelled

Icon Leave Comment
No, he didn't die... I just kinda decided it would be hard to keep up... I suck at taking notes and I was recently informed it was a "Freeplay" plot by the DM ... meaning Avataro could fly between Universees and games.... but if he died in an Alternate game... he died in the main, which sucks though making sense.

The Races

Well, I think I've just about hammered out all of the Races. The Humans remain the same as they are in the PHB. I've posted the Noxians, Kobolds, and Goblins...

The Tale of Sir Krestaln

Icon Leave Comment
The air was cool as the autumn winds swept through the burnt and bloodstained fields. The War of Summer Solstice had taken its toll and was drawing nearer to a conclusion with every battle. It began two years ago as a political feud between Lord Tristifar and Lord Beregrin over the Swallowdale Valley, and erupted into a full-scale war once allies...

DM advisory 1

Icon Leave Comment
Hello, and welcome to the first DM's advisory.
I would like to keep this blog short tonight as I will be busy.

Point: Preperation.

Though simple, it's an important point to make. Have a book with you at work or school, and make notes, develop backstory for NPCs, and if you have a math book, grid out some maps.

Idea: Reversed roles....

A Swarm and a Statue

Icon Leave Comment
We entered the Whispering Cairn with a trepidation born of the newness of the group and the local superstitions we learned of this foreboding location. I am not a superstitious dwarf, and I have forsaken the god that has forsaken me, still, I have to admit there is a presence here that I know we should not disturb. Although I should feel...

Natural 20s and 1s

Natural 20s and 1s

If a player rolls a natural 20 on a d20, the result is treated as if the player had rolled 30. The player then rolls another d20, and if the result produces yet another natural 20, then the result is automatic success.

If a player rolls a natural 1 on a d20, the result is treated as if the player have rolled -10. The...

Java Combat Tracker

I thought I'd use my Blog space to post helpful GM Tools to facilitate DnD play.

I got the idea for my first entry from reading some Blogs here and from forum posts here and on other forums. Help with tracking combat is always welcome and I've found a handy Java tool that has many features...

... the crowd goes crazy.

There was a dwarf that MC ed the presentation with a play by play. All attention was on him at this point. He calms the audience and then exclaims- "THE FESTIVITIES ARE NOT OVER!" and the crowd erupts. He teases the audience with what comes next while bets and wagers are called all over the arena stands.

The Expert Alternative

Icon 2 Comments
An idea I'm playing with at the moment is adapting the Expert NPC class (page 109, Dungeon Master's Guide) so that an Expert can access more abilities depending on what class skills he chooses for himself. Why? I see the ability to choose practically any skill as a class skill a very good ability for the class to have. Coupled with decent...

Characters of the Eberron AoWAP

Icon Leave Comment
As many of you know, Paizo Publishing has been putting out the Age of Worms Adventure Path in the Dungeon magazine. I'm adapting the campaign to be set in Eberron so there are quite a few diferrences to the original adventure path due to this, so please keep that in mind. The characters I'm running through it at the moment are at 2nd lvl...

10th day of the month of the Radiant Crown

I woke up this morning feeling rather well rested. I feet better than I have since we got to this ancient tomb. After a quick breakfast of rations we continued our investigation of the school. We had a quick tactical meeting and decided to try the door in the courtyard to enter the other building. When we got to the courtyard we discovered...
