Back when the party was about level 4, they were instrumental in defeating an evil cult worshiping Doresain, the White Hand, King of Ghouls. The cult was based in an old fort, and were using Ghuls, Wendigo, Perytons and gnolls to raid and enslave the local Ahten nomads. The party attacked their fortress, cleaned out the upper levels, then retreated, called in military help from.

The new Dwarf-based Next playtest game we are starting is going to have a significant underground component to it - which means I've had to think about both above and below-ground mapping. As far as I'm concerned, there are about 4 critical features that I, as the DM, need to know on an underdark map. 2) How physically difficult the route is. Underground travel is much more physically dem...

Hardcopy forms are not useful for those of us that play online. Fillable forms, though. Much better. If WotC had half a brain, they would provide them. But then, the terms of the playtest are "in-person games only", so they clearly do not have half a brain. So - a fillable pdf form for the new character sheet. Links to this post.

Over the Misty Mountains. Mostly RPGs, sometimes other things. Tuesday, December 2, 2014. 5E: Session Summary - Jailbreak Episode 1. This was a big session, so I split it into 2 parts:. The jailbreak is a classic trope, and it’s usually a fun one. Putting the players in a situation where they are at a disadvantage, and have to juggle stealth, timing and speed in an environment specifically designed to hinder them. Escorted them to one of the circular rooms with a 5’ hole in the floor. They lowe...They de...

The attunement mechanic, creator system, the natures, the minor properties, the quirks - all interesting stuff. It makes creating even relatively minor magical items fun, and gives the DM some neat foundations that they can build on. Get em all as a handy PDF. Max Number of Attuned Items:. If a character wishes to end attunement wit...

Over the Misty Mountains. Mostly RPGs, sometimes other things. Friday, August 30, 2013. Worldbuilding: The Oaths of Dwarves. The Judgment of Moradin. To the dwarves, the swearing of an Oath is a sacred and monumental thing. Oaths are used for the most solemn and powerful agreements: Alliances, Marriages, Debts of Honor, Vendettas and the like. Many Outcasts seek death in battle. Some priests of Moradin are Oath-Keepers - the closest thing to inquisitors that the dwarves have. Oath-Keepers investigate...

This post is by special guest author and player of Hilbo Huggins, J Malfair. We will pick things up at Rivercrest - A walled Forest Gnome community along the Clearwater River.
