Looks pretty cool. I'd be tempted to give the Mountain Giant something like the following: Sweep. The giant makes a Great Club attack against up to three adjacent opponents within reach. Anyone struck by this attack must make an Athletics check with a DC equal to the damage taken or be...

Given 5e's focus on weapon rarity as opposed to plusses, I think it may make more sense to tie DR to rarity. In fact, I may do something very similar for my 3e campaign.

Consider this stolen. Thanks!

These are awesome. I just found your blog, and I've been very impressed. Thanks for sharing!

Alright, I've come up with some "mood-setting" encounters to help create a little bit of atmosphere during the game. There are two lists, one for in town and one to use while adventuring. Here are the lists: Town: A character wakes in the morning and finds his footlocker is full of rats...

Even without any more information, when I saw the redesign I figured that removing a lot of the extra "content" would improve the performance. I assume the answer is yes, but have you also done some analysis of the database workload and performance? A good analyst can do great things with...

Ok, I just have to say that a blind holy man with a hummingbird that acts as his eyes is one of the coolest character concepts I've seen. Shakäste rocks!

I'll add my voice to this. If it makes a substantial difference in loading performance I can probably do without it, though I haven't noticed a huge performance difference since the redesign. Edit to clarify, since my post wasn't very clear: I did like seeing the number of pages below the...

Oh man, I am definitely going to try that. Brilliant. LOL :D

Also, I found an amazing were-rat image. https://www.artstation.com/artwork/zAKoZ

Thanks, that's a great idea! I can definitely have this as something found around town, maybe at the Hanging tree where the were-rat's ancestor was lynched. I'll probably have the PC's find it if they go there, and then they can get more information about the folklore from some locals. I...

The group I'm DMing is currently exploring a mine that has been taken over by a vengeful were-rat who aims to create an army of were-rat goblins and destroy the town that ruined his family several generations before. They haven't yet encountered any were-rats, but I'd like to add some "flavor"...

I used B1 for the first time a few years ago to introduce my oldest to the game, and I was seriously underwhelmed. It creates a random collection of mundane, unrelated encounters, then provides the DM with a vast, blank map and tells the DM to assign the encounters randomly on the map. It is...

Not your fault, but thanks for the additional link. It was certainly better. Unfortunately I don't have the book and can't comment, but based on the review it looks interesting!

Wow, I couldn't agree with you more. The first paragraph was so disparaging and insulting that I stopped reading. I'm not going to read that drivel.

Also mirages. There's a lot of cool things you can do with mirages: A mirage hides a town so that no one outside the town can find it. It is gradually "lost" from the world. A traveler is seen in the distance, shimmering with the heat. The image briefly becomes the grinning, black face of...

Let's see, in an Abyssal desert I can imagine: Razor sand that flays your boots and your feet. "Quicksand" dry sand pits that swallow living beings without warning. Two suns - the black sun hides behind the red sun most of the time, and the red sun bakes the land in merciless heat. But, when...

Just randomly while searching around on the internet (I think I was searching for "horned shadow"), I came across the SCP Foundation website. From the wikipedia entry, this is a collaborative writing project where people submit paranormal places and things in an X-files dossier style. Here's a...

That's actually pretty awesome that Iggwilv won, considering how she made her name. She's been manipulating the worst evils and villains of the multi-verse her whole life, pitting them against each other for her own gain. Well done Iggwilv, you win!
