Brilliant! Love this story.

Again excellent. Thank you for posting. I’m getting Elric of Melnibone vibes, from Arioch’s point of view ( albeit a lawful Arioch)!

Superb. Looking forward to the continuation.

I read the obituary, Dave, and was deeply moved by the picture painted by the words. Aurora is a truly beautiful name, but the person was more beautiful by far. Aurora was clearly a light in so many people’s lives, and that light will always shine in memories, both the happy ones and the sad. I...

@dave2008 , you may not want to do this, and it may not help at all, but if you want to, and whenever you feel ready, if you want to post your daughter’s favourite character here, I would be honoured to utilise that character as a major positive NPC in my own campaign. It may be that many other...

The 1381 Peasants Revolt in England had the obvious long-term cause of the unfair feudal system, but this was exacerbated by the impact of the Black Death (1348-50) which created a massive labour shortage and changed the economic dynamic in the peasants’ favour, despite the attempt by the...

I am so sorry for your loss.

My granddaughter, who was 8 at the time, tried to befriend the tied-up wolf in LMoP and rolled a natural 20. The aforementioned wolf, now named Whisper, became her pet and lasted through the entire campaign and beyond as I played them through other adventures to level 10. She now has a large...

Or to Southampton, thanks to Bargate.

I love this site. Thank you @Morrus and all the moderators for everything that you do. And happy 24th birthday!

Way back in the early days of White Dwarf magazine, Don Turnbull did a series of articles called Monstermark ( kind of an early version of CR) and it featured green and red Martians. So the natives of Barsoom were a thing back in around 1977, at least in UK D&D circles.

I have immense loyalty to D&D, perhaps due to playing since 1976 but more likely down to the many memories of great games during those decades, and the friends that I’ve been blessed to know along the way. That probably includes a small level of loyalty to WotC with a larger level of loyalty to...

My general favourite to DM is probably early medieval, with a tech level of around 1066, so ruling out any form of gunpowder as well as plate armour and similar. That said, I’ll happily play in Victoriana settings and in the pseudo-Renaissance of Warhammer Fantasy.

Nothing to touch the poignancy of the OP’s, but one of the joys of being part of (currently) three gaming groups is how much everyone is there for each other all the time. Friendliness, supportive comments and shared successes go such a long way. @Composer99 , thank you for sharing your story...

I second @Snarf Zagyg ’s proposal with enthusiasm and to go with it: A mega-adventure set in and around the Yatil Mountains, made up of several new adventures which encompass Caverns of Tsojcanth and Temple of Tharizdun, with Tharizdun being the BBEG for the whole adventure.

I accept the pejorative title of grognard-fanboy and will absolutely be buying this book.

I ran it all the way through as a 3e campaign, and absolutely loved it. Book 1 was a superbly engaging overground adventure with rich characters and great locations. As mentioned earlier, I raised Jelenneth’s emotional importance by making her the sister of one of the PCs. Books 2 and 3 were...

Really liked this edition. At the time, I was writing a degree dissertation on Eorl Godwin of Wessex and reading a lot of primary sources in Old English, so the Anglo-Saxon character names article was good fun.

The characters had all fought in the Greyhawk Wars as young soldiers, just as the wars were ending. About eight months later, their former commander, now marshal of the much-depleted forces of Sterich, called upon them to assist with some raids by hill giants.
