5e: Bolas
I want to make a magic bolas for the 3 fantasy games we support, but first I have to mundane version, since it doesn’t exist for two of them. It already exists for Pathfinder, and 13th Age has rules for weapons for each class so it will just be a magic item. So here’s theContinue reading “5e: Bolas”
3 Rules For When The Encounter Goes Bad
All of us GMs have been there. We create an encounter that we think will be a cake walk for the players and they roll terribly. Either that or they split the party and neither group can help the other. The question then becomes, “How does the GM same the party?” because we all knowContinue reading “3 Rules For When The Encounter Goes Bad”
Daedalus: Hero-Deity of Artificial Flight
As I write this, I am sitting in a metal tube several miles above the surface of the Earth. No matter how many times I do this, I still find it amazing. I know all the physics involved, but that still doesn’t make it any less a wonder of the potential we can achieve whenContinue reading “Daedalus: Hero-Deity of Artificial Flight”

This monster will make them not taking their sneaking abilities for granted. If you enjoyed this blogContinue reading “5e Skunkdrill”
5e: Cavern Elves
Drow are problematic. They are portrayed as dark skinned and evil except for the few that are brooding but good. I always feel that calling an entire race or subrace evil (outside of fiends) as lazy design. So when a player in my campaign said they wanted to play a drow but had some problemsContinue reading “5e: Cavern Elves”
The Writing Process: The Core Idea
I asked our very first Patreon supporter what kind of blog posts would they like to see. Their response was a series about the writing process. I think that that is a great idea. So in the Writing Process series of blog posts, I am going to take you through the various stages of writingContinue reading “The Writing Process: The Core Idea”

The Case for Prestige Classes in 5e
I DM a D&D 5e game at home. It started off as a Lost Mines of Phandelver campaign with some Yawning Portal thrown in. But when Phandelver finished, I started them in on the Tomb of Annihilation. We finished that and the group is on the road to hunting down the rest of Acererak’s phylactories.Continue reading “The Case for Prestige Classes in 5e”
