Rachel Bonuses: December 2014

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2014_12_01_archive.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Wednesday, December 17, 2014. Might as well try to write something. Illithids once had an empire that spanned worlds. Why have they degenerated and devolved into a handful of enclaves deep within the earth? Because the dead god on which the Githyanki built their astral capital is Ilsensine, their patron. What the Githyanki don't know is that sooner or later Ilsensine is going to stop playing possum. Tuesday, December 16, 2014. I have been g...

Rachel Bonuses: In which a background is described: The Refugee

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2015/05/in-which-background-is-described-refugee.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Friday, May 8, 2015. In which a background is described: The Refugee. You've seen the worst the world has to offer and survived. You lost your home, you lost almost all your possessions, and you probably lost somebody, or a lot of somebodies, along the way, too. What stayed behind? Who will you never see again? Something took your old life away from you, and that something has made you brave, crazy, or desperate enough to turn adventurer.

Rachel Bonuses: More on Completionism

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2015/05/more-on-completionism.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Wednesday, May 20, 2015. Whoa, two posts in one month, when was the last time I pulled that off? Let us take the Eberron campaign setting as an example, mainly because it consigns some very popular elements off to certain corners of the world, well away from the continent where most of the "main" action takes place. As obvious as it might seem, an Eberron campaign will probably not involve a lot of giants and dragons, unless. Stonehell: Pre...

Rachel Bonuses: May 2014

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Tuesday, May 27, 2014. Better Know a Wilderness Hex: 1802. Okay, so memorial day was hectic (and awesome! So this post is a day late. This one is just me getting used to the format, I intend to spend the rest of the week (unless I get done faster) coming up with an overview to make everything all square and consistent going forward. Today's random hexes are 1802. 1802: The Silver Aerie. Ozzer has in his spellbook Ventriloquism. From the Sor...

Rachel Bonuses: Maybe the rivers of the Thunder Rift make more sense than I gave them credit for?

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2015/01/maybe-rivers-of-thunder-rift-make-more.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Thursday, January 15, 2015. Maybe the rivers of the Thunder Rift make more sense than I gave them credit for? Over at the Piazza. And right here on this blog as well), some feedback on my rant. Possible ret-cons or reinterpretations:. 8226; Change the flow of the southern rivers. They now empty into Lake Melinir. We can’t really tell the slope of that SE canyon/channel from eyeballing the map. 8226; Where does Lake Melinir drain? 8226; Opti...

Rachel Bonuses: June 2014

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2014_06_01_archive.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Thursday, June 12, 2014. Starter Set vs. B/X - Spell Lists. Okay, so this isn't Better Know A District Hex. Don't worry, that's still coming, but this was something I could dash off quickly that I thought might be interesting to discuss. The 5e starter set's spell list just came up in an excerpt on Wizards' website. B/X cleric spells, level 1. 5e Starter Set Cleric Spells, level 1. Purify Food And Water. B/X Magic User spells, level 1.

Rachel Bonuses: In which I take a crack at 5e Hengeyokai

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2015/07/in-which-i-take-crack-at-5e-hengeyokai.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Sunday, July 26, 2015. In which I take a crack at 5e Hengeyokai. Okay, I haven't done the 5e-style flavor text yet, but I probably will at some point, I just wanted to knock out a draft of this and get the mechanics ready before I did any of that stuff. But the plan is to make a nice pretty PDF and I'll have the fluff ready then. Alignment: Free-spirited, even capricious, and playful, hengeyokai tend to be of chaotic alignment. When you tra...

Rachel Bonuses: The rivers of the Thunder Rift make zero sense

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2013/12/the-rivers-of-thunder-rift-make-zero.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Wednesday, December 11, 2013. The rivers of the Thunder Rift make zero sense. I like Thunder Rift, it's a solid little setting. But seriously, did everyone at TSR flunk Earth Science when they were in school or something? There are all kinds of rivers intersecting at extremely unlikely angles, flowing uphill, and branching off miles from any delta. Rivers do not work that way. How can you tell the elevation, though? But rivers can really me...

Rachel Bonuses: September 2014

http://rachelghoulgamestuff.blogspot.com/2014_09_01_archive.html

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Sunday, September 21, 2014. Some ideas I had while paging through the 5e Monster Manual (which I'm quite impressed with, I may have to write a review later.). The basilisk is the female of the species. The cockatrice is male. To stumble upon them as they mate is not a pleasant experience. Erelhei-Cinlu and Menzoberranzan are the drow equivalent of the (ahem) Deep. Dryads love to ride on the shoulders of treants. It makes them feel safe.

Periodic thoughts of inconsistent quality about silly elf games. Wednesday, July 23, 2014. Poem: Suzuki Beane Method. Like we all know about dogs). With their crazy four legs). But what about the dogmen. Hotdogging us before they stick it in. And with that wild ta)le. Dogma spread across the lawn. Blossoming like dogwoods in spring. And we pet them and things). As the dogs of war. Chew the doughboys like biscuits. But who cares about four legs). Three branches two houses eight corporations. This doesn't ...
