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!”
Shadow Dragons and other dark things from Shadowfell
I have said before that, although Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons is a good source of all things draconic for 5E, it misses some of the most interesting dragons. That would be one of my favorite types of dragons, Planar Dragons. I’ve already showcased my absolute favorite, the Chaos Dragon. So, now, I come to theContinue reading “Shadow Dragons and other dark things from Shadowfell”
Neon Dynasty brings new and old planeswalkers and mechanics
We are only a few weeks away from the much anticipated look at the future of Kamigawa. And, although most of what we’ve got has been in story and leaks, there have been some confirmed planeswalkers and mechanics both old and new that have us a bit excited. If you’re a fan of the stories,Continue reading “Neon Dynasty brings new and old planeswalkers and mechanics”
D&D Dead and Forgotten? The Shadow of a God
The following shadowy goodness comes to you from the dark mind of BDC! This is practically part three in a series of a campaign pitch that started in my article about shadowtouched and continued in the actual campaign pitch! In the above mentioned campaign pitch, I also gave five or six options for a bigContinue reading “D&D Dead and Forgotten? The Shadow of a God”
Forgotten gods of D&D: Astilabor, the Hoardmistress
We’re back with D&D Forgotten with a series of articles displaying some of the old draconic gods that we hope show up in the upcoming book (due in September), Fizban’s Treasury of Dragons. We already know we’re getting the Gem Dragons in that book. We also know that they are offering this draconic content forContinue reading “Forgotten gods of D&D: Astilabor, the Hoardmistress”
New Legendary Creatures bring perfect D&D Flavor to Commander
Well, fellow Tavern Mages, it’s spoiler season for Adventures in the Forgotten Realms. But before it all breaks loose tomorrow, we received some insight into what the faces of the Commander Sets for AFR are going to be. And, although the four were not the party that we thought was set up way back inContinue reading “New Legendary Creatures bring perfect D&D Flavor to Commander”
MTG Speculation: Gods of the Forgotten Realms
Well, Magic the Gathering’s big cross over with D&D is just a little over two months away and we already have a few spoilers. The biggest of which is the card announced for the mighty Dragon God, Tiamet. AND, with renewal season just a few months past that, we have to wonder if Adventures inContinue reading “MTG Speculation: Gods of the Forgotten Realms”
Raise the Standard, Raise the Axe: Brewing Magda in Standard
I’ve been excited for Kaldheim as soon as I saw the card, Magda, Brazen Outlaw! I’ve waited for some decent Dwarves to show in MTG for the last two years and, within the 10 realms of Kaldheim, I believe we’ve finally arrived at Dwarf Tribal. (And make sure to hang to the end for a couple of jank possibilities.
