A Wizard's Kiss: Night-Haunted Hogwarts: Setting Info & Chargen
http://awizardskiss.blogspot.com/2012/09/night-haunted-hogwarts-setting-info.html
Thursday, September 6, 2012. Night-Haunted Hogwarts: Setting Info and Chargen. Night-Haunted Hogwarts is the name of my D&D megadungeon campaign on Google . Here's the lowdown on setting and character classes for anyone who's interested in playing. To the south lies England, which is irradiated by arcane energies. Anywhere beyond Galloway is completely uninhabitable. To the north is the ocean, where Neo-Vikings roam and occasionally bring vague news of other human colonies far away. D6 hit die. Use s...

A Wizard's Kiss: DCC Fimbulwinter - Session 1 report
http://awizardskiss.blogspot.com/2013/03/dcc-fimbulwinter-session-1-report.html
Friday, March 29, 2013. DCC Fimbulwinter - Session 1 report. I usually find play reports boring as hell so I will try to keep this snappy and interesting:. 15 funnel PCs captured by anthropophagic elf sorceress. Me one hour into the session: "Shit, I pulled my punches too much on this dungeon, I'm not even going to kill any of them". Sorceress critically fails two spell checks in a row, then rolls an enormous check and hypnotizes 5 PCs in one round. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). Night-Haunted Hogwa...

A Wizard's Kiss: Githzerai are awesome
http://awizardskiss.blogspot.com/2012/09/githzerai-are-awesome.html
Sunday, September 16, 2012. So I feel like githzerai don't get a lot of love from D&D players, at least old school D&D players, and with some fair reason. The githyanki were originally some crazy alien race from the Fiend Folio who didn't really have much definition beyond a cool illustration and something something goblins from outer space. But they were evil. Good art is hard to find also. Possibly brought from a distant world, or possibly created from scratch through unholy alchemy! How about the most...

Charm Monster: July 2015
http://charm-monster.blogspot.com/2015_07_01_archive.html
A blog about games and ink. Tuesday, July 14, 2015. D&D Product Historian Shannon Appelcline Twists D&D History. With the release of the Platinum Appendix for Designers and Dragons. We get to see Shannon Appelcline's account of recent D&D history. Of particular note is his description of D&D 5e's release since it is arguably the biggest thing that happened in this last year. Something struck me as a little strange. Appelcline's telling of history is a description of his feelings, which I think is a quest...

A blog about games and ink. Monday, June 29, 2015. An Unlicensed Fan-Hack Has Been Nominated for Three ENnies. The nominees for the 2015 ENnies Awards have been posted and I can't say that I'm surprised by many of the names appearing. D&D. 5e appears in several categories and will likely win all of them. Zak Smith's A Red and Pleasant Land. Has four nominations and should win all of them. But one very surprising nominee is the Mass Effect. FATE game. "What Mass Effect. The Mass Effect FATE RPG. Best case...

Charm Monster: On Tieflings and Their Horns
http://charm-monster.blogspot.com/2015/04/on-tieflings-and-their-horns.html
A blog about games and ink. Friday, April 10, 2015. On Tieflings and Their Horns. In majesty he is like a firstborn bull; his horns are the horns of a wild ox. With them he will gore the nations, even those at the ends of the earth. Parentage has no bearing on the type of horns that a tiefling will grow. If anything influences the growth of these horns, it is the stars or the flippant will of dark gods. Short and blunt, like that of a young goat. Large, long and sharp, like that of a great steer. Long an...

Each word requires a separate saving throw against Magic Devices and the number of words received is limited to the scryer’s level Wisdom modifier. The scryer must state how many words they wish to receive before using the shewstone. Subscribe to: Posts (Atom).

A Wizard's Kiss: December 2012
http://awizardskiss.blogspot.com/2012_12_01_archive.html
Monday, December 31, 2012. Lazy wandering monster rules. OK, so wandering monsters are an integral part of old-school dungeoncrawling because they put a price on each unit of exploration/time spent in the dungeon; and mapping and movement rates are important because they relate to time in the dungeon, which relates to wandering monsters, and opening stuck doors is important because it uses up time in the dungeon which blah blah blah. 2 Assume that the PCs are mapping even if the players aren't. None ...
