• #260. Villain Spotlight: Glamdrellyxxana the Gold. A gold dragon druid under the influence of an ancient curse, Glamdrellyxxana believes the only way to ensure that the world remains ‘good’ is to destroy all humanoid life. From her lair in a mountain lake she's amassed an army of plant creatures to sweep down across the world and cleanse it of the blight from meddling civilizations destined to bring ruin with their advancement, yet the dragon often feels melancholy about the need to destroy so many living things. Glamdrellyxxana is resigned to this course of action however, convinced by fell visions of an industrialized future—and distracted by mind-altering plants when the guilt becomes too much to bear.

• #257. Intriguing Organizations: Tribe of Nar'Adsch. After their nation was destroyed by a warlock a new society formed from the remains of a nameless kingdom: the Tribe of Nar'Adsch. These survivors and their kin gained an intense hatred for everything infernal, vowing to destroy all that is hellish with no mercy for deviltry of any ilk. They are relentless in their pursuit and have burned down whole villages just to eliminate a single warlock, eschewing the arcane and relying on brute force, skill, or the power of nature to complete their impossible goal. For those that have befriended them however the Tribe of Nar'Adsch can be excellent allies, their powerful druids able to share their spells and the occasional powerful magic item.
• #256. Reputation Rules: Organization Dice. Whether orders of mages, religious cults, or thieves' guilds any adventuring party is bound to interact with various groups throughout a campaign.

In addition to the basic rules for Organization Dice (which can be used to create tables for any organization!) this article covers thieves' guilds—the next time a member of the party runs afoul of a settlement's gang or finds themselves in the good graces of the local criminal underworld pop open this article to see what happens!
