5e/Pathfinder/13th Age: Guide to Mini-Bosses

There’s a short story by Janni Lee Simner called Practical Villany that I particularly love. It’s from the villain’s point of view. The opening line is “The first thing I want you to know is that I drowned those kittens for a reason.” It’s a dark comedy about a villain talking to his latest kidnapeeContinue reading “5e/Pathfinder/13th Age: Guide to Mini-Bosses”

They are a glob of single-celled organisms that dissolve rocks and other mineral deposits for substance. It gets its name from the fact that it has a consistency close to snot. That is perfect forContinue reading “Traveller: Magmites”

Traveller: Reidian Flyer Poster

Whenever I play Traveller, I like to have the ship my players are in in a large format hanging on a wall for quick reference so they can see it in full detail. So when I set up to do the single ships for Traveller, I decided to include a poster map of the shipsContinue reading “Traveller: Reidian Flyer Poster”
