Putting the Domains of Dread into Eberron's Cosmology Image from Exploring Eberron Eberron has a rather peculiar interpretation of the Ravenloft setting and how I’m using it as part of my own Curse of Strahd campaign. So I figured to bring it up here. For sources I’m using Keith Baker’s own...

Giant Lineage Revision In my review to the Adventurer’s Guide to the Bible, I noted that the Giant race was weaker than the other options on account that they have some rather situational abilities as well as a penalty in being unwelcome in cities. Not to mention being heavily designed for...

Upon further thought, having Pharisees as an Allied faction so early in the game is rather strong in that they change 3 other factions to Allied, which the PCs most certainly haven't met yet. Changing the Allied faction to Sadducees for helping Rabbi Zakkai in Teredon feels more reasonable.

Do Unto Others So this 1st-level spell is both incredibly wide-ranging but also in keeping with Jesus Christ’s teachings. It’s not unlikely that the party cleric and/or paladin will make use of it at various points throughout the campaign. Thinking of ways to use it requires quite a bit of...

It's one reason out of several, and I've actually been in conversations with some Native Americans on these kinds of topics, so it is something that does apply to various tribes. And I also pointed out in my post that even that isn't one size fits all. Kind of weird to assume Japanese media is...

Altering Rudolph Van Richten's Backstory Art by Miles-Johnson of Deviantart. Ravenloft has had a rather troubled relationship in its portrayal of the Vistani, who explicitly borrow elements of real-world Roma people. Van Richten's backstory and motivating factor in becoming a monster hunter...

Thank you; a lot of this has been bouncing around my head for a while since the review, and figured to put them all on digital paper to better organize them. The thing I would want help and input on the most is a less railroady version of the Way of the Cross adventure, although I'm saving that...

Favored of the Lion and Sun Most factions give some form of tangible benefit for joining them. The Sicarii grant access to their assassination contracts, Zealots let you safely move through cities of hostile factions, the Sadducees grant access to NPCs with clerical magic, and such. But...

So with Azrael's Guide to the Apocalypse on the horizon, I've been rethinking about the Biblical 5e adventure I reviewed back in September of last year. I've been working on some ideas I had brewing in my head for a while for this campaign as a possible DM, and figured to share with the greater...

Scion: Yazata Expansion is a third party supplement for Scion which expands upon the Yazata (Zoroastrian divinities) pantheon for Scion 2nd Edition. Zoroastrian writers and artists worked on it.

Thank you, MGibster! Glad to hear you like it. And today I wrote a little bit for gaming groups who prefer the more classic Ravenloft setting and how its Ivan's personality and motivation differs in the nimblewright quest. Overall I feel pretty done in regards to this homebrew, and I think it...

Bit of a thread necromancy, but the author of Realm of the Blood Queen has made their product Pay What You Want on the DM's Guild until the end of July. Afterwards they plan on taking it down due to disapproval of WotC's various scandals, and for that reason don't want people to pay for it.

Ye Be Warned, Spoilers for Curse of Strahd! It’s common for many people to stack the deck for Tarokka readings, given that some results are less than stellar. For Strahd’s Enemy, the Darklord (King of Spades) is regarded as particularly undesirable given that it prevents the party from gaining...

I'm reminded of how there was a series of 3.5 sourcebooks made by Malhavoc Press detailing campaign-shattering events, such as Requiem for a God (death of a deity) and When the Sky Falls (meteors falling to earth). Speaking of 100 tarrasques, there's a DM's Guild product called Invasion from...

The 18th week represents the final section of the freewheeling pseudo-sandbox exploration of the Sunken Isles. There are three locations to visit: Skyreach Temple to stop Kada if he hasn’t been stopped in Week 17, visiting the King’s Tomb to gain the aid of a legendary dragon, or visiting the...

Note: I had intentions of covering Week 18, but these posts have a tendency to get long so I wanted to cover 3 weeks for tonight instead. There are two places of importance to visit during the 15th Week. The first is a trip back to the Glowing Caves, where the PCs can be informed by allies of...

PCs who opt to visit Chitoni will find the surface of the water strangely quiet, but a dead ‘ula’ula floating in the water bodes ill. Beneath the tunnels are locked in war against the undead. Having lost their formidable carapace, the decapodians have managed to keep Old Shell and other VIPs in...

It’s the 11th week, and things are steadily getting worse: food is being rationed, freshwater’s growing scarce, and up to half of the Isles’ population could be either dead or missing. If you might remember, Kada either has or asked to borrow Marrow from the PCs. He intends to use it for a...
