It's #DragonMagMonday, and over on HOW-I-RUN-IT.com I am reviwing another issue of Dragon Magazine from my personal collection (and another copy with a detached cover 
), #104. It includes discussion of its spotlight on thief characters, an examination of a letter in the FORUM, "advertorials" for Oriental Adventures and Battlesystem, and a look at Snarfquest.

Today on HOW-I-RUN-IT.com I posted the first in a series examining changes/additions I made/make to running the classic U1-2-3 modules or their 5E versions in Ghosts of Saltmarsh, along with the adventure additions made in the latter. I am calling the series, "Revenants of Saltmarsh."
The first post begins with a examination at the motivations of Ned Shakeshaft, who the PCs have a chance to encounter when going through The Sinister Secret of Saltmarsh. There is also a PDF version for printing at the bottom of the post.
Warning, however, this post (and future ones) will include spoilers for these adventures, so if you are currently playing through or plan to play through these adventures you probably want to avoid this series.

Covering my coverless copy of Dragon Magazine #106 for #DragonMagMonday, including a deep dive into the now classic article "A Plethora of Paladins" that present NPC 1E paladin variants for all the alignments between LG and CE.

It's DWEOMER DAY! and over on HOW-I-RUN-IT.com we're looking at my homebrewed Potion of Extra-Healing for 5E
Today's post is a bit of a warm up for a longer piece about running Danger at Dunwater out of Ghosts of Saltmarsh that I hopefully will have ready to go by next week.

Today on HOW-I-RUN-IT.com, after too long a wait, you can read the second installment of my Revenants of Saltmarsh series in which I detail how I ran adventures found in Ghosts of Saltmarsh! This time we look at one of my all-time favorites, Danger at Dunwater.
Click here or on the image below to be taken directly to the post.
The art above is by Jim Holloway from the original U2 – Danger at Dunwater module, 1982.
The post includes details on running the factions of the lizardfolk lair, running the Thousand Teeth encounter, and stat blocks for the Lizardfolk High Priest, a new version of the giant god-touched crocodile, and a sahuagin spy! In addition to the web version, there is a full PDF of the post available for download, as is a high-res version of my hand-drawn map of Thousand Teeth's hunting grounds.

Thank you!
I’ve forever loved U1, but I’ve avoided running U1-U3 because my one playing experience with U2 was an absolute mess, and I couldn’t figure out how I could do it any better.
You have excellent suggestions there for making the Lizardfolk interactions more directed and comprehensible.
