Help, i'm looking for inspiration. I made a mystery box without content and now the players want to open it. There is a giant acacia tree on the edge of the savanna. In the hollow trunk there is a gate guarded by a sphinx. To pass the sphinx you must guess their riddle. If you fail, she...

oops, and the text of the hand out for the Kobold Bounty (p29) is a repeat of the"Find Bloodsucking Fiend".

Maybe a typo? Broken Lance, p4 "... increases its damage dice to 1d12 ..." Is that supposed to be 2d12? Because a mundane lance is already 1d12. Otherwise loving it. Especially the bulletin board with some of the old adventures. I know there is good stuff there. I used issue 01 just last...

raising eyebrows at Choreography That seams rather powerful. It's not quite the Lucky Feat or whatever o5e Divination wizards have. but still... I love it. Its thematic. It cements bards as the best casters. I want to GM a bard with it. Now. do i tell either of my bard players about it....

First time for me, the party dropped a kilometer long adamantine chain anchoring a Zhent floating temple over the forests of Daggerdale. There was some question if the PCs had cracked Faerun like an egg. Instead, they just set a large part of the Dales on fire.

Thank you. I had no idea that this was a thing... Some really spectacular images. Good stuff. 1) & 2) really help me visualise some options. Particularly that it can't have been foundational because it would have already collapsed. 3) was always in play, because "the party gets hanged by...

One of my parties is exploring underneath a city. As the city is 1500+ years old, most of the buildings are built on older buildings. With some difficulty people can move between the buried remains of these buildings. The party found a trap door leading up. it was propped up and nailed shut...

Someone with Númenórean devices. When the Númenóreans invaded Valinor, the Teleri (sea elves) fled. If i recall correctly, there was some question as to whether the Valor themselves could withstand the Númenóreans. Even after the downfall Númenóreans could make weapons that could harm spirits...

Again, i really liked this article. The 'lead-lined mantlet' gave me a couple of more ideas. Asbestos Coverall 15,000 silver drams 7 kilograms. A loose hood, tunic, and pāy-jāma. Lined with plates of asbestos. Worn by alchemists and firework makers. The suite provides resistance against...

Very cool. For a personal hwacha i was thinking of the Bee's Nest. So adding a third option to Advanced Tactical Chemistry (for context the PC is a machinist artificer, and so has a custom vehicle, which builds in some of the limitations of large items like the Bee's Nest and Siege Shield)...

Maybe i am missing something but the table for price and weight mentions a 'lead-lined mantlet' but i couldn't find that item in the article. Edit. I should have lead with this all looking like cool and nifty stuff. I'm really tempted to tell an artificer player she can have her own personal...

Has anyone written about running a football match? Old school style. Kick off with an inflated goat bladder ball halfway between two villages, and the first team to get the ball into the opposition's village is the winner. I found some sports stuff that i have used in the past (all three made...

We're doing a multi-group face-to-face in a couple of weeks, and i'd like to do it with pen and paper. But i have been unable to figure out how to get the PC character sheets off Foundry. Transcribing 15 character sheets is going to take a long time. It would be a lot easier if i could at...
