    The Romance of Arasil

    Friday, July 15, 496 CE – THEN Tenoch Like Dazen, none of the other Companions had found out anything really useful related to the nightmares of the village. However, they did learn of a local ‘holy man,’ called the Pellar, who lived a few miles north of the Noor’s Meadow in the forest...

    The Romance of Arasil

    Thursday, July 14 Dazen It was late when the Companions arrived at Noor’s Meadow. One might describe the village as ‘quaint.’ It held an undeniable rustic charm and the people here obviously cared for their homes and village. The village had no inn or even tavern, but the villagers offered...

    The Romance of Arasil

    Ilvander Charity and Ilvander made their way through town when they noticed that the plaza in the center of town was in the process of being decorated. He stopped a man who was busily arranging some flowers. “Excuse me, sir,” Ilvander started. “Huh?” the florist responded as he paused his...

    The Romance of Arasil

    Friday, July 8 – THEN Orsik The night was still. In fact, the night was too still. Orsik had a sense about such things. Normally he spent his time on watch eating sweetmeats or chewing on the kinds of roots that made one comfortable, but the druid was uneasy this night. Tenoch sat up from...

    The Romance of Arasil

    UNDER THE VORINGIAN MOON Rated R for gross violence. An Introduction The Romance of Arasil is my homebrew setting – aptly named Arasil – in which my friends and I roll dice, try to role-play, and generally enjoy ourselves. Thematically, I tend to run campaigns on the darker side of things. I...

    D&D 5E (2014) Helping melee combat to be more competitive to ranged.

    Try stone giants. Step out from full cover, hurl rocks, step back into full cover. Smushy-smush! Set up in such a way that to deny them full cover puts one in melee engagement range. Smacky-smack. You don't have to deny them their scouts or stealth. It is, what it is. No shenanigans necessary...

    D&D 5E (2014) Starting level

    I prefer 2nd level. First is just a tad too fragile for my liking.

    D&D 5E (2014) As a DM, do I kill the entire party at the end? Im torn?

    Choices without consequences are meaningless. Personally, I'd roll out the encounter and see what happens. I'd make an effort to point out that attacks don't seem to have any effect and see if the PCs don't start running. If not, I'd mow them down. Personally, if I was a player here and you gave...

    D&D 5E (2014) Getting your game on

    I love it when people post pictures of game sessions. Here's one of our from last night. The Dogmen of the Veldt (read: gnolls) were raiding the town of Traveler's Rest. Much of the town was put to the torch and there was a running battle in the streets as the gnolls were assaulting the town's...

    D&D 5E (2014) DM Confessions: What monsters do you overuse?

    I love me some undead and my players know it. "We're not playing D&D, we're playing horror survival here!"

    D&D 5E (2014) Finding 5th edition too "safe".

    I think it all depends on how you run your campaign. I don't necessarily build encounters with the PC's victory in mind - and they've been warned to that fact many times. In one campaign, I've had two character deaths over two session, albeit they were 2nd level characters. In another campaign...
