    Duergar & Daemons (Being a Sequel to An Adventure in Five Acts) [Updated] [8/25/25]

    Duergar & Daemons Part I: In Search of Adventure In which the players and the DM agree that our noble heroes did not venture into the mountains after all but rather made camp a short distance from Albert Murphy’s hideout; that Sir Oerknal has been catatonic ever since he set foot in the hideout...

    D&D General What modules have you reused for multiple campaigns

    I typically use my own designs for long campaigns, though sometimes mixed with (parts of) published adventures. However, I did manage to shoehorn some modules into several shorter campaigns: G2 Glacial Rift of the Frost Giant Jarl (2 times) L1 The Secret of Bone Hill* S1 Tomb of Horrors (2...

    Best superhero movie of all time? (Nominations thread)

    There can be only three (in no particular order): Avengers: Endgame (2019) - for its sheer superhero-ness Wonder Woman (2017) - for its sheer pulp-fantasy-ness Iron Man (2008) - coz it's the one I enjoyed most But since there can be only one, I'd have to go for Avengers: Endgame, because my...

    Well, not really. I do have an older (2023) version of the map that does not have any names on it. However, that map does not feature the "corrected mountains" and it also lacks many corrections I've since made to newer maps.

    White Dwarf Reflections #13

    As noted, the White Dwarf #13 imps, or "Imps of the Flame" (Martin Stollery, 1979), were "of the Imp class" as per the (lawful evil) imp in the Monster Manual (1977) and, perhaps more so, The Dungeoneer #3 (1976) and, later, All the Worlds' Monsters Volume Two (1977, Mark Norton in each case)...

    White Dwarf Reflections #10

    Agreed on all accounts. I remember being allowed a quick glance at the picture of the dahdi way back when I started playing and wasn't allowed to read anything else but the PHB coz I was but a player. I must say that I liked the picture very much and that it left me dying to know what the...

    White Dwarf Reflections #9

    Cool! Had to look them up and definitely gonna use Sidney Sime for handouts. Re Polly Wilson: She's got this style that is this strange mixture of naive, weird, experimental, accomplished, scrawny, and somehow constant all at the same time - hard to pin down and that is always a good thing IMHO.

    White Dwarf Reflections #9

    Quite! Probably also right up there with the best of them for the most disconcerting illustrations of ever in D&D. Done by Polly Wilson, who did a lot of terrific monster illustrations for WD. Not to detract from the artwork in the FF, but I've always considered it a bit of a shame that some of...

    :ROFLMAO: Always wondered about that myself. Didn't stop me from having lots of fun with it over the years, though.

    Don't forget the Warlock Cat! It became the Hellcat and was later planescapified as the... [can't bring myself to say it].

    White Dwarf Reflections #8

    FYI, the Chaoticus Symbioticus and the Whirler also made it into the Fiend Folio. They became the Symbiotic Jelly and the Vortex, respectively. And, um... the original carbuncle rules!

    White Dwarf Reflections #11

    Which, if anything, the (editor's?) explanation of the name only seems to corroborate. :) Rather makes you wonder what "tirapheg" is an anagram of.

    [Thread Game] D&D Monsters A-Z

    So, not looking to resurrect this thread (well, not per se anyway), it's just that I happened to stumble upon it while looking for info on the IffanbuT and I now know more about it than that it's just a name. And then I accidentally brutally noticed that the thread had been killed off at the...
