In the process of developing the Campaign Pitch for the Para-Elemental Plane of Ice, Frostfell, we introduced our villain, the fifth wheel among the evil archmentals, Cryonax and his mad dreams of becoming the king of his own icy domain that encompasses the whole of the elemental plane. We also introduced the enigmatic Immoths; elementalContinue reading “The Legacy of the Immoths: Knowledge, Curse and Ice”

The Abyss has no fury like a Dragon Scorned!
The next bit of fun comes from the mad mind of BDC. In our big campaign pitch, this month, we layed out a great frame work for a great game or series of games. It is simply Xorvindaal, the game that dragons play in order to outsmart their peers and take their hoards. Sounds likeContinue reading “The Abyss has no fury like a Dragon Scorned!”
Warlock Patron: Dragons
This article is an extension of an article written earlier introducing (and reintroducing to some) the Game of Dragons: Xorvindaal. Expanded on in Monster Manual V back in 3.5, the game of Xorvindaal was the sport of Dragons outsmarting each other in a massive game of ‘find the hoard’; pitting their hoard against the hoardsContinue reading “Warlock Patron: Dragons”
Campaign Pitch: Xorvintaal, a game of Dragons & Hoards!
Now, to start, this has nothing to do with Game of Thrones or House of the Dragon despite the ideas that ‘Dragon Games’ brings up. It is just one of myriad of old-school D&D lore that I dug up and found to be the perfect backdrop for an ongoing campaign. Dragons live long lives andContinue reading “Campaign Pitch: Xorvintaal, a game of Dragons & Hoards!”
Dangerous Minds: Playing a Splintered Personality in D&D
I am by no means writing this article as an expert into what is now called Dissociative Identity Disorder. When I was younger, the term Multiple Personality Disorder or Syndrome was the more prevalent descriptor. But, just to get a definition about the disorder I’m talking about and to define some of the general causesContinue reading “Dangerous Minds: Playing a Splintered Personality in D&D”
In a Different Class: Guns Blazing!
For as long as I can remember, the discussion of including firearms in D&D has been a volatile issue at times. DMs fearing that it will imbalance the game or make it ‘less fantasy’ has kept a good many builds from seeing the light of day. And that’s fine if that’s your take, but, ifContinue reading “In a Different Class: Guns Blazing!”
Clerics of Amn: Keepers of the Peace
Amn is a place that respects both the Arcane and the Divine; especially the Divine. Where unknown and outsiders who practice the magical arts are viewed with suspicion and MUST be registered and controlled, Clerics and Paladins are welcome and, even, celebrated. Read more about the details of the setting of Amn HERE. In orderContinue reading “Clerics of Amn: Keepers of the Peace”
Character Reference: The Crow
With it being that last week of October we decided to bring you some of our favorite spooky characters as D&D NPC’s. You can throw these in games or use them as a starting idea for a new character to play, but let’s cut to the chase. We are starting out with one of myContinue reading “Character Reference: The Crow”
Playing a Raggamoffyn as a PC
The following Spooktober offering is from the dark mind of BDC Returning to the theme of ‘reskinning the Warforged’, I want to enter this spooky season looking into one of the most bizzare offerings from the article I wrote on the subject: The Raggamoffyn. Not made of wood, stone or metal like the Scarecrow, theContinue reading “Playing a Raggamoffyn as a PC”
DM HELPS: The Cowled Wizards of AMN
So you want to run a campaign in Amn of the Forgotten Realms? What’s the most important thing you need to know as a DM or even as a PC who’s from there? Well, if you ask me, it would be their feelings on the practice of the arcane arts. In a word, it’s outlawed.Continue reading “DM HELPS: The Cowled Wizards of AMN”
