PF 1e: Necromancer’s Hammer

One of my favorite characters I ever played was Lyle, a halfling necromancer that hates undead. He excelled at taking down ability scores and using many unconventional spells to great effect. This would have been a spell he would have loved to use. Necromancer’s hammer was originally in the Inner Sea Magic Player Companion andContinue reading “PF 1e: Necromancer’s Hammer”

Traveller: 3 Misconceptions and Play Suggestions Concerning the Solomani Confederation

So a good place toContinue reading “Traveller: 3 Misconceptions and Play Suggestions Concerning the Solomani Confederation”

Playing Traveller over Fantasy Grounds

Fans of any RPG system other than D&D and Pathfinder can have a tough time finding each other. Most often you have to convince your D&D/Pathfinder group to try something different. Maybe it works out, maybe it doesn’t. However, I encourage all gamers of smaller games to play online, especially over Fantasy Grounds.
