Rambling Thoughts – AAC
Emanuel Martinez Lema 2016 Something I have been thinking of a lot lately is the interaction of armor to the wearer in rpgs. I have typically been of the mind that abstractt is better than realistic … with this in mind, AAC and DAC have always been quite fine to me as it was an […]
The Glide Frog a Creature for Any Setting
A new creature for use in Swords & Wizardry (and most other OSR systems) and the Next Edition. Glide Frog The croak came from above them as they raced through the marsh lands. Looking up El saw the large dark green form of a frog gliding above them, long tongue lolling from its mouth. Type: […]
Creatures of Eira – Hodekin (S&W and Next)
Hodekin The smell of offal and rotting meat filled the air as El dropped into the cavern from poacher shift. Dirty linen tents lay in disorganized mass around a large fire pit. El slipped and suppressed a gag as she stepped in something’s waste. If not for the offal she would have died, as it […]
Quick Note – Makes me wish I was older
I love the Dungeon walkthrough maps that Wizards puts out from time to time. They make me wonder at the crazy antics of the late 70s and early 80s when I either didn’t exist or was potty-training. The newest one “The Steading of the Hill Giant Chief’s Steeding” is full of laughs as I have […]
Quick Note – An experiment with a “new” system
I am not going to lie I enjoy D&D Next. It isn’t my favorite system and some of the rules during the playtest seemed strange to me. However, it is up there in terms of system enjoyment for me and I don’t think I will mind shelling out the $50.00 for the books when they […]

Quick Note – The D&D Next Launch Event
I will leave the details of and the beliefs in or against the multi-media launch of Dungeons and Dragons Fifth Edition and the event to better minds and pens than myself (see Dyvers and Tenkar’s Tavern). Why, because I’ll pick up the books that come out and pour over them the same way I did […]
Quick Note – Creature Guide, Eira and more
Yesterday I released the Creature Guide, a collection of monsters and creatures from this blog an a number of adventures (both published and unpublished). All said the book contains 43 monsters and comes in at 27 pages. So far the Guide is not doing to well and I am trying to figure out ways of […]
Quick Note – This seems interesting
This seems like a nice little use of the Pathfinder version of the D20 system. Broken Earth Player’s Guide – Pathfinder From Drivethru: Bombs fell. Billions died. Now you must pick up the pieces and rebuild this Broken Earth. Broken Earth is an adventure setting that takes place in a post-apocalyptic version of Earth. It […]
