Reading over my travelogue deep diving the Paraelemental Plane of Ice AKA Frostfell, I began to see pieces that would make a great campaign. There are so many juicy tidbits to be gobbled up by an attentive DM and it makes a great backdrop for storytelling. But, as with many elemental planes, it seems aContinue reading “Campaign Pitch: The Mad Dreams of Cryonax”

Braving the Bitter Cold in the Volatile plane of FROSTFELL
Over a year ago, we talked about Genasi options who were under the influence of the para-elemental planes of Smoke, Ice, Dust and ooze. Now, we’re going to go on an expedition to one of the aforementioned planes; the plane of ICE. Now, you’ll need a bit more prep than you did for The SwampContinue reading “Braving the Bitter Cold in the Volatile plane of FROSTFELL”
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!”
Traveler’s Guide to Waterdeep: The God Catcher
Once an intrinsic part of the City of Splendor’s defenses, the Walking Statues are all wonders of Faerun in and of themselves. Ancient magic kept them in hidden for most of their existence, socked away on the Ethereal Plane, just waiting to be summoned to Waterdeep’s defense. Unfortunately, during the Spellplague circa 1385DR, they allContinue reading “Traveler’s Guide to Waterdeep: The God Catcher”
Navigating the Swamp of Oblivion and other Elemental Oozey destinations!
Over a year ago, we talked about Genasi options who were under the influence of the para-elemental planes of Smoke, Ice, Dust and ooze. Now, we’re going to go on an expidition to one of the aforementioned planes; the plane of OOZE. The para-elemental planes have been with us since the Manual of the PlanesContinue reading “Navigating the Swamp of Oblivion and other Elemental Oozey destinations!”
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”
