So that's a perfectly valid question! Personally, I was looking more at how a spellcaster's own mind might interact with that magic. So if the magic is a beam of light, and the caster is a prism, how does neurodivergence affect the prism? And how does the light change the prism as a result...

Something I was thinking about today. I have two kids on the Spectrum, and I got to wondering how neurodivergence interacts with magic, especially magic that impacts one's cognition. See, I'd figure that different kinds of brains must need different kinds of magic, and even identical spells...

Got a thieves guild and a lich in my campaign. Was thinking about how liches hate to leave the house and what a hassle it is to go find a soul to shove in there every 7 days, and hit upon the idea of a fantasy DoorDash So, my current thought is that the thieves guild brings someone to the...

Thank you! These are very useful.

Thanks!

Thanks, I'll dig up my copy!

Thanks - I'll take a look! Yep, I'm looking for exactly a list of old-school modules! For now I'm just going down the "Best of Ten-Foot Pole" but I wanted to see what others had on their lists. Stygian Library doesn't quite fit the vibe I'm going for (although Gardens of Ynn would! - great...

Region, I suppose? About two weeks travel across the map.

I'm going to be running a sandbox and need some content to have back pocket for emergencies. This can be dungeons, small mysteries, or anything else that could last about a session. I'd like something I can drop in relatively seamlessly, that covers about 2 hours of gaming. Small collections of...

Ooh, L. Ron sounds like a great addition! "Let me tell you about these Thetans..." Congratulations! You get to feel super old this week, and also gain free access to this website. :) God, I loved Escaflowne - still do. That's a solid recommendation, thanks! All of these are fantastic, and...

I was listening to DM of None (a podcast - I recommend it if you haven't heard of them before) today, and they were discussing the Paizo adventure path Reign of Winter. Apparently, you have to go kill Rasputin on Earth during this adventure (spoilers - sorry). This is an intriguing thing to...

The PCs are surveyors (pathfinders, you might say), who are trying to find a safe path for the artillery. This is less of a plot hole and more of a "Well, this is screwed; also we need to get off this river before the ice shatters under us!" situation. Alright friends, next up is the adventure...

Hey friends! I'm so sorry that I haven't done much with this thread over the last few weeks - there was some illness, a birthday, and a Comic-Con in there, and I got a little derailed. This week, I'd like to take a look at the next adventure in this book, Guns of Dorchester. So, right after...

Alright, let's get into the next couple of chapters! Chapter 5 is titled Gamemaster's Tools and it does what it says on the tin. It's a great chapter, and one of the most-valuable chapters in the book, for my money. It starts with outlining a few basic requisitions packages that the PCs can...
