Design Masterclass: Smallville
Having taken a look at Pendragon, it should come as no surprise that I noticed plenty of other games out there that can teach us a lot of about game design. So it’s time to take a look at one of the most underrated games I’ve ever known - Smallville.
The Beginning: 1968 and Meeting Gary Gygax and the Gygax Family
Roughly two years before Luke Gygax was born I walked through the front door of the Gygax residence at 330 Center Street in Lake Geneva. This was at the invite of Gary through his gamer friend and a very recent acquaintance of mine, Larry Zirk. Very few people from that time know of Larry Zirk, so I will tell the story of our meeting and how that would, soon thereafter, lead me to Gary's doorstep.
Eberron: Rising from the Last War Previews
Fantasy Grounds has posted a preview of the official virtual tabletop package for the upcoming Eberron setting book. It gives a great sense of the content and art style to be found in the hardcover.

DMs Guild Roundup: Encounters in Avernus and More

If you are one of these creators OR you know one, have them get in contact with us to be included in the DM Guild Roundup or a review of their own!

Paizo Roundup: Huskworld, Haunted City, Lost Omens
Hello my lovelies! It’s been a little while and it looks like we’re enjoying all the little announcements about what’s to come from Paizo 2E, but what big meaty products are due for us soon? That question must mean it’s time for the PAIZO NEWS ROUNDUP! October is fairly light, it seems, and looks to feature primarily just the continuation of two Adventure Paths and the Lost Omens Character...

EN5ider #293 - Enchanted Trinkets: Something for Everyone
Today on EN5ider we're continuing the Enchanted Trinkets series: reasonably priced magic items with minor, flavorful impacts that make them fun to have around but not unbalancing for GMs to hand out as rewards, only really making a difference when an adventurer breaks an enchanted trinket for it to have a more profound impact.
Dungeons & Dragons  Mythological Figures 
Mythological Figures: Admiral Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta
The Mythological Figures column gets a lot of interesting requests but this one will stick with you like a peg-leg caught in a hole on deck. The astute historians among you may get the clue but if that’s not you, read onward and check out Admiral Blas de Lezo y Olavarrieta!

The Secret "Historie" of the Gorgon, Lamia, and Su-Monster
In the previous article we looked at a book that was highly influential on the creation of the Advanced Dungeons & Dragons Monster Manual. But that book wasn't the only source where D&D's co-creator, Gary Gygax, diverged from traditional sources. Like the peryton, we can deduce the origins of another curious monster that is depicted in a unique way thanks to Edward Topsell's Historie of...
MAD Magazine: Dopiest Demons of D&D
MAD Magazine #10 has an article about "The Dopiest Demons in Dungeons & Dragons", and there's a preview on D&D Beyond. "These demons are, of course, not actually in Dungeons & Dragons, because MAD Magazine is not the most reliable of news sources. Instead, demons simply would be the dopiest if some player were foolish enough to will them into existence." More at the link.
Making The Realms Come Alive
I’ve worked on the Forgotten Realms every day of my life now for over fifty years, and for over forty of them have been joined by scores of fellow creators, all of us pumping our energies into the setting. So a lot has happened, in-world, and with so much going on, the place certainly seems alive. Some hapless crofters in the Dales or shopkeepers in Waterdeep would probably tell you their world was a lot too alive, a lot of the time.
Dragon Reflections 
Dragon Reflections #25
TSR Periodicals published The Dragon Issue 25 in May 1979. It is 48 pages long, with a cover price of $2.00. In this issue, we have lots of Gamma World, new vampire variations, and the return of the letters page!
