The newest article dives into Cold War weather experiments and how they could be reinterpreted as attempts to recreate the Cold War. If you’re looking for weird campaign inspiration or worldbuilding ideas, storms as dimensional portals might be fun to play with. 🌪 OzGate Part 5: Tornado Tech...

I’ve just published Part 4 of my OzGate series, a speculative conspiracy-style exploration of the Land of Oz as a hidden alternate realm. This entry focuses on the 1985 film Return to Oz and reinterprets it as a “leak”—a fictionalized account of events in Oz disguised as a failed sequel...

<hugs my copy of wierd wars 2 from pinnacle games> I know what I'll be doing when it comes out... seriously horrors of wierd wars 2 is one of my most favorite monster manuals of all time. :)

yeah I had a gnome professor I ran through both expedition to the barrier peaks and the da trilogy and since we were young and didn't have much restraint, so he was armed to the teeth and armored to the gills (I avoided the random action table of the weapons by rolling on my gnome professor...

https://www.hodgepocalypse.com/2026/02/greenland-part-3-where-north-still-holds.html?m=1 I’ve just wrapped up Greenland Revealed, a three-part expansion for my post-apocalyptic science-fantasy setting Hodgepocalypse. The premise: Greenland didn’t freeze after the apocalypse — it flooded inward...

The Complete Bard's Handbook is one of my most favorite books of all dnd, so curious. How can you update the kits to the latest edition. do some change classes? which subclass would apply? Curious to see the results.

OzGate Update — Using Classic Fantasy as Conspiracy Worldbuilding Latest entry in my OzGate series just went live: The Wizard Was a Psy-Op The premise: Oz exists, but popular media reshaped real events into harmless fantasy to suppress knowledge of dimensional travel. This one explores...

https://www.hodgepocalypse.com/2026/02/greenland-part-2-powers-and-people-of.html Greenland did not emerge from the Hodgepocalypse as a single culture or unified power. It fractured—and endured. Hodgepocalypse: Greenland — Part 2 explores the factions, species, and survival strategies that...

Like the one to beat for me is the Pillars of Eternity castle: Caed Nua. You get it: you rebuild it from its ruins and build amenities; you have a massive megadungeon underneth that led to its ruin; you have people showing up asking for help; the former owners claim rights; and when the legal...

Man, it's funny how many homes I haven't done ...too busy murderhoboing. :D I get a serious kick out of post-apocalyptic housing because it's fun to turn something that was never a house into a house, but with fantasy, I rarely do. I once built a motte-and-bailey farm on the edge of town. It...

Kind of a silly question. Replaying Oblivion got me thinking. What do you guys look for in housing in your fantasy world? Do you go standard house, wizards tower, castle, or even stranger (looks at Merlin's houses in the old Grail Quest series)?

I blame that Frog and his cult who keeps ranting about "the Rainbow connection!" edit: as for the above post. Australians are as real as Canadians...oh wait.

All roads need somewhere, and this road leads somewhere sinister. https://breadthofpopsanity.blogspot.com/2026/02/ozgate-follow-yellow-brick-road-part-2.html

I'm not going to start a new thread, but will create one if there is pushback. GREENLAND REVEALED — Part I: The Long Unravelling https://www.hodgepocalypse.com/2026/02/greenland-part-1-chronicle-of-north.html The apocalypse wasn’t a single moment. It was pressure. Pandemic. Climate collapse...

<Looks at Crawling Birds, Macaws with the strength of an Ox, read birds, and especially the corvids of Oz> I think we all wish that birds didn't exist knowing what they can do.
