I seem to have misplaced my DMG so I can't confirm, but when I wrote this I remember the rules for multipart encounters varied widely based on the level of the party. Orlog is simply worth more XP to a lower level party, and significantly less from what I remember to a higher level one. When I...

When D&D5th was coming out, they mentioned that they had some of the guys from the Magic the Gathering marketing department helping out. Then I noticed something, D&D has two storylines a year, one that begins in March, and one that begins in October. Magic also does something similar, they...

We've posted a couple on our blog. I wrote an article about a planar race called the Bolg http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/01/25/power-couple-of-the-planes/ My writing partner Trevor did a Neanderthal race. http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2015/12/14/neanderthal-player-characters/

This month we are drawing inspiration from fairy tales. The first article was us tackling the 900 ton kaiju in the room. http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/04/04/bardic-college-of-folklore/

Check it out! Our final article on this months theme is out. Roman gods and a new cleric domain! http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/03/27/a-tide-in-the-affairs-of-men/

Also can we please drop the word "Oriental" from gamer vocabulary. Yes I know of the book, I own both of them, but it's not a good word for smart people like us D&D players, to use in 2016.

Changing the damage to fire is actually a nerf in a weird way, depending on what level the campaign ends up at. At early levels it's good, but a lot of mid to late game monsters have immunity/resistance to fire. There is a feat that will allow you to bypass that. That is honestly my only...

Backgrounds are the best part of 5th edition IMO. Mechanically they focus a player on at least giving passive thought to how their character functions in the world. Which adds a surprising amount of depth. In my game I had players choose their bonds, and some roll randomly and then try to fit...

Part 3 on our series based on Rome. For a long time now I've been thinking about Warlocks and their place in D&D. I came to the conclusion that if I was in control of "Dark Sun" or "Al Qadim" i'd probably make the Templar and the Sha'ir respectively Warlocks. They fit the fluff a little better...

It's Monday, our theme of the month is Rome, so here is a awesome Gladiator article! http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/03/14/are-you-not-entertained/

5 out of 5 rating for Cypher System Rulebook The Basics The Cypher System Rulebook is a generic system, and it presents options for running Modern, Horror, Superheroic, Sci-Fi and Fantasy games. It gives you four basic classes: Warrior, Adept, Speaker, and Explorer. In D&D terms, they’re...

This is something I've been thinking about for awhile now, I almost pulled the trigger on it after my last D&D campaign ended, but we played Night's Black Agents instead (which is a great game as well). Any way read it over and tell me what you guys think...

I've been checking back in on this all day, it's very entertaining.

Night's Black Agents uses trust points in the same way, D&D being a game about heroic fantasy Trev decided not to bring that up in this article. But it would be an easy add to say you could betray a person who trusts you by burning their dice.

The last article in our series inspired by love, Trevor brings you rules to show the bonds of Friendship between party members. http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/02/29/friendship-is-magic/

This week I wrote a charming Paladin Oath inspired by our theme of the month. http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/02/22/oath-of-the-gallant/

sorry I made a double post on accident

Every Monday we post an article based on our theme of the month, this month the theme is love. So my partner Trevor wrote up some "Implements of Love" check it out. http://forgotmydice.com/index.php/2016/02/08/implements-of-love/

Night’s Black Agents is written by Kenneth Hite and was born by the designer “watching the Bourne movies obsessively.” I’m not sure where the second half of the same spawned from. But at some point, Ken said to himself, you know what a super-secret-agent game needs? Vampires! The set up is...
