The pig man nods and motions for you to follow him with one of his six trotters. He winces and grunts as he teeters forward. His steps are crooked, and he wobbles side to side like a toddler who has not yet mastered putting one foot in front of another. "Below," he grunts. "Many stairs. Should...

Wing is glad that the creatures were spotted before they got too close. He would never risk hurting his companions with his fearsome firearm. He smiles, confident that even demons bleed. Everything that moved did. "Get off of our tower!" he cries. He fires a fragmentation grenade at a...

66) The dragon lies in the middle of a ruined city. He has piled rubble, debris and garbage into mountains around his bed. Those who climb the mountains of detritus must be careful. Dislodging one rusty bucket, stone head or unmated boot might trigger a landslide. Mages hiding unnatural features...

I think making another gazetteer is solid. That's probably the format we will probably use for its publication so it will be good to get it down to a science. Haven't been able to contribute as much as I've wanted in the past few days because my laptop's down and out. I have an idea about the...

Last of the Willow People (10.19) The Osseries (24.18) believe that they wiped out the Mirdenlows, the witch clan who could transform into willow trees, when they took their land. The truth is that the clan realized their power was worse than useless against the fire-slinging Osseries and...

62) The lair is built around a deep, wide and very steep lava tube. The chambers are at multiple levels far from each other Anyone unable to fly will obviously be at a disadantage. The minions are all flying creatures or subterranean nasties that have evolved membranes that allow them to glide.

Sukri nocks another arrow. The gnoll's matted fur flashes into view and he shoots. A cry rings out. The arrow's shaft and fletching hang from the creature's bloody side. He stifles a cheer. Maybe this misadventure was finally ending. His surprising success with the bow inspires him to abandon...

"The sun," the pig man grunts, nodding with what could be reverence. "The sun makes food. Food enough for us. Food enough for you."

I just looked at the new map alongside the latest compilation and couldn't help but feel proud of all the work we've done brainstorming, writing and formatting this project. I love how the internet can link up people around the world who can donate their free time to make something creative and...

Sukri watches the missile's conflagration and grinds his teeth as he imagines how painful it would have been to get that in the head. He faces Bayar and speaks in a low voice. "The dogman can hide, but we know where he is. We kill the hyena first, then I follow you to ledge and we finish him!"...

Grimeswood (05.10) A small half-orc clan dwells in these woods. They call themselves the Grimes, and they do their best to live up to their names. They sleep alongside their goats and shun bathing. Those with keen noses can sense their presence from faraway. Clan elders proudly maintain bird's...

The pig man holds his nose where Valla touched it, his beady eyes blank. He clears his throat, leans on the section of pipe with three of his arms and answers in strained common. "Before it fall," he says, pointing to the hole in the ceiling with his free trotter, "I talk fish tribe. Then I go...

Derren Yeah I know I was just using that example to illustrate how I see adventuring parties breaking down racial barriers. Like Legolas and Gimli quarreling until they have to face Moria, and then becoming inseparable war buddies.
