    IC - Mad King's Monkey

    The arrow only grazes Sukri, but it's still a shock. He curses himself for being too quick to attack, and maneuvers elsewhere in the brush and prepares for another opportunity to strike. As tempting as it would be to take out the hyena, he does not want to draw any more attention. Trying to...

    Stat Yourself!

    According to Morrus's quiz: Strength 8 Dexterity 14 Constitution 12 Intelligence 14 Wisdom 10 Charisma 12 These scores and no combat training besides a year of weekly one-hour kenpo and jiujitsu. I guess if I had to go on an adventure, could carry a torch and translate. At least until the...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    Inspired by Morrus's new pirate ship generator. The Wreck of the Fat Crow (50.14) The Fat Crow, a battered two-masted merchantman, ran aground on this deserted coast after the People of the Claw (48.13) managed to set fire to its sails. Its cargo hold contains, among more mundane things, the...

    Well played, Scott. I did a double take when I read your post!

    55) The walls, ceiling and floor of the corridor leading to the blue dragon's hoard are lined with a copper grid concealed by an illusion. The dragon electrifies it when he smells intruders and enjoys their screams as they are fried to death. 56) The dragon hides in a pit beneath a caldera...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    Well-done! I had no trouble going back and forth to find details, connections, etc. Time for another hex: Yrump Marsh (26.19) A circle of halfling druids known as the Yrumps raised a network of earthen roads in this marsh for ceremonial purposes. They moved away as the August City rose...

    Wheel of Time....good series to read after Hobbit/LotR?

    I would read something else. Sure, each book might have 100 pages that are good, but you have to sift through 400 pages of Robert Jordan's, um, boring obsessions to find them. The first book is great fun, the second is decent, the third is mediocre. I thought it would pick up in the fourth and...

    IC - Mad King's Monkey

    Sukri's pace quickens as he hears the bark. His eyes scan the foliage for a good place from where he can shoot. He halts between a brush and a mossy boulder, draws the bow's mighty string and lets loose an arrow at the startled gnoll. No quarter this time. Moving to partial cover and shooting...

    [Mutant Future] Raiders of the Mind Lord's Tomb

    You remove the rest of the debris. Amazing, the pig man standing with the help of a section of thick pipe. His metal armor, now dented and torn beyond repair, probably spared him from permanent injury. "I am Furug," he says. "Here no safe. You, you, you...go with me to home. I give you good."

    Mutant Future - Raiders of the Mind Lord's Tomb (Recruiting two more fine mutants)

    Great job handling the lobstrosities, everyone! I'll assume you will continue to help the pig man, and update the IC a little later.

    1000 features, traps, and other things to spice up a dragon's lair

    49) Skulls placed jowl-to-jowl line the walkway to the lair. Clever characters can use speak with dead to learn valuable information. 50) Dragon is a bit cowardly. Her minions carve murder holes in her lair so she can use her breath weapon and tail attacks without being exposed. 51) Dragon...

    345) Lumos: When this blade is drawn, every non-stowed torch, candle, hearth, brazier or lantern in the room lights immediately.

    1001 minor traits for magic swords

    342) Marauder's Cutlass: Slices effortlessly through rope and chain, regardless of thickness or material. Enchanted ropes or chains are more difficult, of course. 343) Heavy Anchor: This greatsword drags its carrier to the bottom of any body of water they enter. The person effected can walk on...

    Music that gives you inspiration

    My favorite creative music is usually the Queens of the Stone Age, Earth, Boris and Wu-Tang Clan. Most of my players are old-school prog-rock nerds, so I usually end up tolerating ELP, Kansas and Genesis while we actually play uugghh.

    1000 features, traps, and other things to spice up a dragon's lair

    40) Detailed plan for the invasion of local city. Well-illustrated for the benefit of illiterate orcs and goblins. 41) Cavern is filled with shallow water haunted by hungry gray oozes. 42) Dragon appears to have no hoard. The treasure is buried in several locations known only to the dragon...

    Let’s Make a Hexcrawl Setting

    I like the format. I especially liked how you moved the information about the Witch Clans to a section in the front. But if I were to turn the Barrier Range in a stand-alone setting, I would include parts of eastern Thring. This would be for the sake of plot hooks and adventure locations, and...

    [Mutant Future] Raiders of the Mind Lord's Tomb

    When the somewhat delicious-smelling smoke from Ivy's attack clears, little remains of the land lobster besides a scorched carapace. She whirls to face the second creature, bracing for its attack. Instead, she watches it flee, chattering, into the darkness. The lobstrosity closest to Yella...

    Spire of Idjit (19.30) Connected to Hex 19.31 A tempest, a powerful elemental that is essentially a living storm, was bound to the top of this stone spire in hope it would provide more rain to Jahur. The clerics, to their dismay, learned that the elemental was under the Queen Sinister's thumb...

    Mutant Future - Raiders of the Mind Lord's Tomb (Recruiting two more fine mutants)

    Yeah, I hear you. For the next battle, I will probably use images to give a general idea of where everything is at the end of each round. Do you want to attack the lobster threatening Yella or Ivy?
