I rarely play clerics and tend to avoid wizards. Generally I favour bards, rogues and fighters (in no particular order) with all my characters tending to be good-hearted, though not always totally so. My currently active characters are a human rogue in Drakkenheim, a human witch-hunter in...

Thank you so much for the advice. I will definitely act on it.

I'm about halfway through planning a CoC campaign, set in 1924, and (dependent on investigator decisions) likely to involve Stonehenge area, Norfolk, Kent, Oxford, London and then leaving the UK for France, Italy and Egypt. Really looking forward to it, partly as a C20th historian and partly as...

Really enjoying the development of the characters as the party begins to respect one another’s abilities. Leana has to be the nicest person in the world! Looking forward to seeing them escape the shake-down, or not...

Thanks for this review. I am currently playing in this excellent campaign and it’s a fantastic experience, with excellent roleplay opportunities as well as exciting (and often scary) scenarios. It is quite dark in tone, which I personally enjoy, and I’m blessed to have a great DM ( @TheSword )...

Great contrast between the measured approach of the player characters and the "kick open the door and attack" of the NPC, Vinx!

I have the privilege of being a player in Dungeons of Drakkenheim ( @TheSword is DM) and can endorse all the above. It's a superb adventure in every sense.

This is great to read, especially with so many memories of running and playing KotB. The interaction between the characters, as they begin to meld into a team is superb.

I used the “First Fantasy Campaign” as my Second Fantasy Campaign (!) after an initial homebrew. I think I was about 16-ish, so it would be around 1979 I guess. The Egg of Coot was an off-screen big baddie, and never figured directly. Players did meet the Earl of Vestfold though, and cleansed...

Really enjoying this. Thank you for taking the time to post.

When bulettes bite hard and hit points are low, And dragons fly high but enlarge spells won’t grow And we’re changing our dice, getting different rolls Then owlbears, owlbears will tear us apart again. Owlbears, owlbears will tear us apart again.

PS There’s a guy works down the chip shop, swears he’s Gygax.

@Snarf Zagyg is absolutely brilliant. A true master-bard, singing the songs of the entire hobby!

Really, I'm not. I'm just telling it as it is. @Steampunkette is a brilliant DM and an awesome writer. It would be wrong to say that she is "wasted" on the more mechanical aspects of the game (classes, spells, archetypes etc.) because these things are crucial to all our play, and Rachel has a...
