Thanks! Will take a look at the Archmage stat then :)

As per the title, since I've become enamoured with the monsters in the Monstrous Menagerie, I was wondering, is there any equivalent to O5E Arcanaloth? I'm running Curse of Strahd and I'm about to hit The Amber Temple, so I may need that statblock soon :)

Thanks! 😁 🖤

I'd highly recommend you take a look at the Dragons of Autumn 3.5 rewrite/revisit and use that as the basis instead. It approaches the whole thing from a much more cohesive and modern perspective without losing much of the original's appeal in my opinion. It doesn't really transform it into a...

As per the title, I just found the beautiful VTT Tokens offered here and I was wondering if they can be used on a 5E streamed game—with the proper attribution, of course. Does anybody know about this?

This is a digital reconstruction of a text entitled “The Matter of Theology”, written by Jeff Grubb (and hosted for the longest of time over at Dragonlance Nexus, I think. I can't remember exactly how I found it). In this text you get the gods from Jeff's home campaign (which he graciously...

I love those comics to death, and Riva was a HUGE inspiration. Her looks, attitude, and overall personality just screamed "Epic Fantasy Heroine" to me 😂🖤

In my experience, Tests are better run (and played) on one-on-one sessions. They're just SO personal and great moments of character development. In the last one I ran, I offered the player the choice, and he chose to be alone with me. We both ended up crying after two hours of some intense...

Verisimilitude adds to my immersion which, in turn, adds to my overall enjoyment of the game. I wouldn't do it if I didn't find it fun. Plus, is there anything wrong with calling it "folk wisdom"? I meant it in the sense of those "everybody agrees" kind of statements, and my sole purpose was to...

I think tracking time, weather, and the moon phases in any campaign is a good way to add verisimilitude to it. As a player, I like to feel immersed in the fiction (regardless of which side of the GM screen I am), and tracking time is a good—and relatively simple—way to add to that. In the case...

I like the idea... But the implementation seems counterintuitive. Full moon for Abjuration and Divination? Maybe. New Moon for Necromancy and Evocation? Mm... Not really? I think the New Moon tends to represent trickery and deception, so I think Illusion and Enchantment would fit better (or...

I've always incorporated player's opinions and ideas in the Test. After all, the Test is not only about magical prowess, but a real test of character and personality. The idea, I think, is to see how the would-be Mage reacts under the most stressful circumstances and, at the same time, what...

Interesting. I'm interested in this "unusual way to administer the test", but I'm wary that it'll be something vague with no specific guidelines whatsoever. In that case, I can't recommend enough for DMs to grab the Towers of High Sorcery supplement. The information there is pure gold. Apart...

Thanks for judging, @Radiating Gnome ! I appreciate all your commentary and the way you compared and contrasted both entries. Congrats to my fellow competitor and winner, @FitzTheRuke ! As I said before, I really enjoyed reading your entry and I wish you all the best in the next round ☺️

For what it's worth, @FitzTheRuke, I had a lot of fun while reading your entry! I loved its overall whimsical tone 😊

I could do that time slot as well 😉

EST works best for me, but I can accommodate Pacific Time 😉

Ooph! So many memories! I participated in one of these, way back when, and it was one of my first writing experiences. I lost in the first round, but I learned so much about myself and the whole writing process. Now that I have more experience, I want in! 😁
