Quick Note – Raven’s Ruin
I’m reading through my pdf of “Assault on Raven’s Ruin” and I must say that it is a very interesting adventure, not just in terms of gameplay but how it is writing. The text seems to go out of its way to hold the DM’s hand (in a good way, not in that you’re an […]
Quick Note – No Love for the Bulette
I am currently outlining my next adventure for release and have finished my wandering monsters and over land map. During the creation of the idea for the story (a desert adventure) I decided I wanted to use some creatures I have rarely seen. Gnolls and Nagpas make appearances as well as Lamaras (as anyone can […]

Quick Note – Gaming at the Beach
The wedding went terrifically! Codename: the Wife had a wonderful time and was a vision in her dress. Food and much merry making followed!

Quick Note – The Devil You Know
For the last fifteen minutes (as my son watches a 19-year-old girl ballet kung-fu in a seedy space bar) I’ve been staring at this. I’ve been debating it for the last three weeks, even unpacked the core book and monster book from their box in the attic. Gulp.
Quick note – five Ways to Add horror into Your Adventure
Five ways to add horror into your adventure. Horror doesn’t always work in gaming especially on the large scale. The more you try to make an entire campaign of Lovecraftian or Ashcroft style horror the more you will typically lose your players. Why is this? The main reason you’ll lose players is because the horrible and […]
Five Minute Adventures – Shrine of Thiseir Pathfinder Experiment
So for reasons that must remain very close to my heart and behind my mind I am practicing my ability to convert from one system to another. Now granted even pre-OGL d20 systems have are related to their younger brothers and cousins but it is still a bit of a stretching of the mind to […]
Creatures for any Setting S&W and Next – The Gortach
The following creature came about in the last game I played with my daughter. It is a mixture of a zombie and a wraith and is attracted to the smell of cooking food. My daughter found the creatures especially scary because of how the originally died (famine) and how they could instantly make a target […]
