I've recently been going through the early issues of White Dwarf (1 - 50) and picking out one (sometimes two) creatures per issue from the Fiend Factory column, converting them into 5E for fun and ... well... fun. I'll post probably one a week, if anyone else wants to dip in with alternatives...

OOC Thread Rogues Gallery The steep-sided walls of the Korm Basin slide by; Blackpearl's skiff has travelled the many miles from the opening to the sea, past rocky cliffs and scree of dark stone, the only sign of life some scrubby plants clinging to the side and birds wheeling overhead. Now...

RG thread for The Lichway adventure using 5e rules. IC Thread OOC Thread Players: Brother Dave, Steve Gorak, Toasterferret, Neurotic, Kaodi, Sithramir, MortalPlague

This is combining two things I want to have a go at playing. The 5th Edition rules, and an adventure from White Dwarf issue 9 (from 1978) called The Lichway, by Albie Fiore. If you read my WD reviews from a couple of years back, you'll have seen me raving about this adventure, which is a neat...

In this thread I'm going to attempt to convert the Arcana Unearthed/Evolved races to D&D 5th Ed., mainly as an exercise for me to get used to the system. I'm not going to attempt the Evolved levels, at least not yet, but otherwise will be using the AE versions of the playable races rather than...

Players in my games, I've not been updating much recently. This is because work has been pretty hectic of late and has pretty much left me drained of any energy to tend my games, especially as a couple of them have entered a combat phase which generally requires a but more effort to manage. But...

One of the more evocative and intriguing parts of the 1st Ed Dungeon Masters Guide is in the appendices – Appendix N, Inspirational and Educational Reading, in which Gary Gygax sets outs his sources. I quote: Inspiration for all the fantasy work I have done stems directly from the love my...

To my players and GMs, I'm going to be on holiday until next Tuesday (27th) so expect slow to no posting during that time.

RG for the Trefaldwyn Chronicle (Pathfinder in 600AD).

I’ve always had something of a love-hate thing for the Dragonlance campaign. Bits of it really appeal to me, and others have never sat right. I originally ran the campaign back around the time it first came out, getting up to DL12 (Dragons of Faith) before the playing group went its separate...

This is a setting I've been rolling around in my head for a while, and I've got a short scenario I want to test it with (no epic campaigns this time, but if it starts well I've got material to continue it). In Character Thread The idea is a game set in the real world ca. 600AD, but one where...

The Catfish, Thievestown, City of Llaza, Fnoi Province. It is a typically hot and humid summer evening for Llaza. In some circumstances the weather would be termed ‘sultry’, but this carries with it an air of romance and mystery, which a Llazan summer night assuredly does not have. This is more...

Rogues Gallery for Master of Jade, Mistress of Iron

White Dwarf magazine, from its first issue in June 1977 until the end of the 1980s, gives an interesting history of the birth and expansion of role-playing games, through its own particular lens of the hobby in the UK and, later, as published or distributed purely by Games Workshop. This is a...

I have several games that would benefit from some new blood, with a range of systems and settings. In no particular order, they are: The Enemy Within, the old Warhammer campaign played using D&D 4E rules. Characters are currently at 2nd level. Setting is the Warhammer Old World, akin to a late...
