CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 10 – D&D 3.5 (WotC)
Nothing witty today; today was all about being an adult. Important, but it cuts into my creative juices. So I’ve conjured up something from my eTools archives from back in my early d20 days. I spent way too much money on that program and spent way too much time using it. Sometimes I get a hankering to redo…

CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 7 – AD&D 2E (TSR)
PBEM. Play by Email. Now there’s a name I have not heard in a long, long time…so when Facebook horked up an offer to play in one, I jumped at it! The campaign will be set in a dwarven city in a human kingdom that serves as a trade crossroads. So I pulled out a bunch…

Fourth up is Portia Greenbottle. Portia has the Urchin background and the Lucky feat. Dexterity, Charisma, and Intelligence are her focuses. Skills are traditional rogue skills. Even a party of rogues needs a rogue-focused rogue. So why not two?! (First rule of government contracting: why build one, when you can build two for twice the price? IYKYK.) Portia was an orphan…

Second up is Cora Tealeaf. She has the Acolyte background and the Magic Initiate (Druid) feat. Dexterity, Wisdom, and Charisma are her focuses.

CharacterCreationChallenge – Day 1 – D&D 5E (WotC)
I’m late, I’m late, for a very important date! Christmas Break was supposed to allow me to build up a buffer of characters for the 2024 #CharacterCreationChallenge. That did not happen. So I have moved on to to Plan…K I think. I had not planned on a theme for this year’s Challenge. But my subconscious seemed to have other…

AD&D New Kits for HR7 Crusades
Anybody who’s read my work knows my love for Al-Qadim. Steve Kurtz and his pseudo-horror supplements and style are a large part of that. Ruined Kingdoms, Cities of Bone, and especially The Complete Necromancer’s Handbook are jewels of the genre. But Mr. Kurtz also wrote HR7 Crusades, one of the green book historical references. I…

Campaign Summary: From the Journals of Elis Took – 9.
Gil did not turn into a werewolf overnight. Our luck may have turned for the better. Fergus cast remove curse anyways, just to be certain. We traveled for another uneventful day. By noon the next day, our magic map seemed to show us catching our quarry. We heard a ferocious boom as the ground quaked.…
