As promised on Monday, we created the 5e version of the Skunkdrill, this mad combination of a skunk and mandrill is a perfect addition to any D&D 5e game. Need to make the rogue run for the hills? This monster will make them not taking their sneaking abilities for granted. If you enjoyed this blogContinue reading “5e Skunkdrill”

5e: Bitter Armor
I was working on some Pathfinder slayers yesterday, and I made a character that previously was swallowed. Let me tell you, if you’ve ever been swallowed, you want some kind of defense against having that happen to you again. Pathfinder already has armor to help prevent against that so I thought I’d convert it overContinue reading “5e: Bitter Armor”
3 Things to Steal from 13th Age
I love me some 13th Age. It is a well built game and highly enjoyable, one you should check out if you are not familiar. I’d describe it as D&D 4th Edition without all the compromises that held 4e back from being a truly awesome game. Having said that, I know plenty of groups thatContinue reading “3 Things to Steal from 13th Age”

5e: Cegra’s Boomstick
In my home D&D 5e game, I have a rule: if you want something that is not in the books but is reasonable, the answer is, “sure.” Several of my players have taken me up on that so far. One has a longbow that uses Strength instead of Dexterity. Another wields a punching shield asContinue reading “5e: Cegra’s Boomstick”
3 Rules for Plot Lines in a Long Term Campaign
This blog post is my latest in my 3 Rules series. Check out the others here. During COVID-19, I’ve been running two D&D 5e games over Fantasy Grounds: one is for my daughter and her cousins, the other is for my wife and a group of adults. Through it all, I have a number ofContinue reading “3 Rules for Plot Lines in a Long Term Campaign”
5e: 5 Reasons Why Rangers are Freaking Awesome
Screen Rant recently posted their list of 5 Most Bad Ass Classes (& the 5 Weakest) D&D Classes. While I completely agree with the 5 best list, I have to argue with the weak list, especially with the bottom of the list: the Ranger. Yes, I’ve heard this time and again from many people, manyContinue reading “5e: 5 Reasons Why Rangers are Freaking Awesome”
5e: Path of the Pyrorager
It has been a while since we talked much about Fifth Edition. This is a game we at the “office” love and enjoy regularly. We have several 5e projects in the works, but we’re not ready to talk about them further at this time. What we do want to talk about is the Book ofContinue reading “5e: Path of the Pyrorager”

3 Steps to Turn Published Adventures into a Campaign
As I mentioned last week, I am running an “office” game of Tales of the Yawning Portal. These are some really great adventures, but what they are not is a campaign. These are adventures that for all tense and purposes have nothing to do with each other except that one starts at a level whereContinue reading “3 Steps to Turn Published Adventures into a Campaign”
