Creatures of Eira Preview – The Whisper
A new, Eira specific creature and a further development of my new stat block. I’ve taken some of the advice that was thrown around with the Crystal Skeleton stat block and have made changes where I sought fit as well as added or disregarded things that made sense to me. Technically this creature is based […]
Generic Monsters for Any Setting – Crystal Skeletons
New creature up for anyone to devour and sick onto their players. This marks the tenth new creature since the release of the “Cartographer’s Guide to the Creatures of Eira” and the first to mark a new style of creature blocking for me. This new style takes up a little more room but is also […]
Quick Note – The continuing Saga of Innsfjord
Today marked the 40 page mark in the alpha write-up of Innsfjord. I now have a complete non-outlined version of the town, the wilderness around it, and the Temple crypts done. So I pressed on, hoping to knock out a little of the town jail and maybe start re-planning the “Forgotten Temple” dungeon. A little […]
Innsfjord Preview – The Crypt’s Final Room
So this post is a little double sided. On one hand it is a preview to continue to attempt to drum up support and interest in Lights Over Innsfjord. On the other – as an alpha text – of the game I am also attempting to see what people think of the current wording of […]

However, no one ever seems to talk about or even mention tabletop backlogs or “walls of […]
Quick Note – GAZ1 The Grand Duchy of Karameikos available and for Sale!
While I was alive during the period in which Basic and Challenger existed I was either too young or too socially awkward to ever attempt to play Dungeons and Dragons. The majority of my knowledge of D&D came from three sources, the 1980s cartoon, Tower of Doom/Shadows Over Mystara (Hey that name seems familiar)and the […]
Quick Note – The Hobbit, first play
For last night’s game night the family and I tore the plastic off Fantasy Flight’s The Hobbit board game and set to the task of figuring out how to play. The game looks and sounds a heck of a lot harder than it is … unless we ended up playing it wrong to begin with. […]
Possible New Thing – Genius Loci Scenarios!
This is possibly a new thing for the blog, something I may do once or twice a month to fill in a content gap here or there. This one coming up now is my first attempt at one of these “one page adventures” or scenario as I just called mine. honestly though I am still […]
Generic Monsters for Any Setting – The Gate Leech
New creature for everyone to look at and use as they see fit. As usual I hope it is enjoyed and feedback is also greatly appreciated! Outsider Gate Leech El stepped toward the floating eldritch ball and let out a breath. A stable gate to the Outside was a dangerous thing for if nothing else […]
