The descended from land dragons...converting from a Star Frontiers article into D&D makes that nomenclature tricky. Most of that is a copy and paste from the Dragon article. The history fit in with Eska pretty well that I was able to just "find and replace" the sathar with orcs. I planned to...

Saurians of Eska I wanted to have lizardfolk as a playable race for Eska, but I wanted them to be different. I toyed with the idea of asabi or firenewts, but none of them really clicked. Then I was going through Dragon Magazine #103 and there it was...towards the back, in the Ares section, the...

Quite a long time since my last post. A dead computer, and some writer's block were the main culprits. The change from summer to fall brought plenty of outdoor chores around the house to distract me as well. Also, I think I overwhelmed myself into blogs, message boards and the like and just...

I think having an "always on" hunter's mark would be a suitable replacement for favored enemy.

Now that I think about it, this is a lot like how Star Trek episodes often went. Pull the Enterprise up to the new planet and adventure ensues. You could also give it more of a Sliders feel if you wanted to ditch the wizard missions.

I've been saying the same thing myself for awhile. Like others have said, converting to 5e is pretty easy. I've converted a bunch of 1e, 2e, and 3e stuff over on my blog. I've been running Age of Worms and mostly converting it on the fly. Like the intro says, it is more of an art than a...

This is an idea I read about on one of these message boards for a campaign that I'm keeping in my back pocket for the next time I'm experiencing DM burnout... The characters are all agents of a high level wizard who dwells in a tower on a demi-plane. This wizard sponsor either wants items...

Actually I think they are a bit weaksauce, and the bonus spells are a way to make up for it.

I'm perfectly fine with the release schedule. I don't spend much on gaming, and I want my money to count when it does. Between the UA articles, the Homebrew forum and stuff different blogs put out, I have an embarrassment of choices to make, be it classes, races, monsters, spells, magic items...

Never been a fan of the Realms, but looks like I'll be picking this up at some point.

It is a factor of the type of adventure I'm running. My current game is heroic adventure with easy contact with civilization. My party is 5th level, and I've told my players "during an adventure if there is any reasonable mundane equipment you say you pull out, you have it." I do charge...

Snip!

I would like to first give out a big thanks to everyone that reads these posts. Looking at my blog statistics, out of my top ten viewed posts, 7 of them have come in the last two months. I'm excited about this expanded audience. If you like what you see, consider supporting my Patreon! It's...

I like what the OP is saying. Of course, I played AD&D rangers, and never had animal companions except as followers at high levels. I like the idea that they get a share of XP. When they level, increase their proficiency bonus and hit dice. Give them ability score increases or feats at the...

I like the barbarian totem warrior options!

Here are some Ioun stone variants from Dragon Magazine #174 that I was waiting on the DMG to come out to convert. Matthew P. Hargenrager wrote the original article about Ioun stones, and where they come from, as well as some new ones. I converted most of them. He had a few that provided...

Great resource! I especially like the "things they are likely to say" for the NPCs. I'd be willing to post your stuff on my blog, you can check it out in my signature.

D&D should contain a splash of sci-fi. A lot of magic items are really just reskinned technology. Arthur C. Clark
