Two more locations in the City of Shuttered. THE STREET OF SMALL GODS The City of Shuttered Windows has no truck with divinities that rival or oppose Alberon. However, there is room in the faith for a celebration of the god’s helpers, lovers, progeny and saints. The Temple Indivisible calls...

Day 1 (5.75km; Hex 00.02) I awoke on the beaches of a strange land, with no memory of my life before this moment, a white feather clutched in my hand and a name on my lips: 'Lisbet'. My clothes were sodden, but I couldn't tell if they were wet from the sea or the rain. A storm raged over my...

Jogging Tour of the Shrouded Lands While jogging this morning I was thinking about how far I'd run in terms of how much of a Shrouded Lands hex I'd covered. That made me think that a fun way to pass the time as I run would be to imagine I was travelling through the Shrouded Lands. So next time...

I think this article would get my vote for most useless article I've ever read in Dragon Magazine. I could never get through the Wheel of Time books, but I'm pretty sure that they weren't about the minutiae of varieties of non-magical animals. Even if they were about that, the d20 System isn't...

Zogonia is probably my favourite Dragon strip.

Thanks Tav_Behemoth, I've made a page for Adventurer, Conquerer, King on my wiki. I'm not sure why I thought that it was unlicensed.

THE SKINSACK SHED (16.18) There is a shed around a mile from the road. Bags made of skin hang from iron hooks set into the roof of the shed. It is not only horses that can be brought back from the dead by the secretive priests of Baron Autumn. If the stripped bones of a man or woman...

I loved Oriental Adventures when I bought it back in the day. I'm not sure if it would still impress me in the same way; the name is certainly cringeworthy. I thought the story of the Great Stone Face that Gygax told was terrific, and a great reminder that the DM doesn't need to know every...

I used the article '7 Steps to Creating Cunning Foes' (Dragon 287) for the Princess of Seers: Goal: Correct an ancient wrong, regardless of the cost Source of Power: Favours owed, information Ways to defend a power source: Create a decoy Ways to expand a power source: Hire...

Phew, I hadn't updated the appendix for almost two months! I've done that now. I have to say, I'm starting to be overwhelmed with the amount of content that we have, and the way it is scattered among hexes. Do you folks have any ideas about how we could reorganise things to make it easier to...

The Dreamlands article is great, and the Fischer illustrations are terrific as well—such a clever way of depicting the planes, and strangely haunting as well. I really like the toolkit approach of four brief takes on dream planes instead of one long article full of boring details no one needs...

THE FROZEN JARL (14.01) The current Winterjarl seized control of the Marche during trying times for the nordenbjorn. He is still a young bear, and until the night of his coronation had not drunk of the Still Pool or consulted the nightingale. Few had expected him to win the votes of the Council...

THE KING WITHOUT A THRONE (Hex 26.20) Henry Yaboon is a priest without a god. After the sinking of the temple of the Pacharia, he convinced the rulers of Blind Midshotgatepool to cede the lands and treasures of the Pacharia's clergy to him, and he has since wielded this wealth and influence to...

Been a while with no activity—I guess everyone's a bit busy at the moment. I have an entry inspired by Machine with Wicked Gears that expands on the theology of Thring. THE SORCERER OF TARENGAEL TOWN When the serfs of Tarengael fear for their lambs or their children, they pray to the Green...

I've added the licensing details for all of the retroclones, and added a section on recent projects to clone 4th edition D&D. Obviously, these aren't retro, but they are clones!

Cleric 1d8 (1d6 ranged, unarmed or improvised) Fighter 1d10 (1d8 ranged, unarmed or improvised) Thief 1d8 (1d6 ranged, unarmed or improvised) Wizard 1d6 (1d4 ranged, unarmed or improvised) I'm being cheeky but I think class-based damage works really well and it's very simple and flexible...

The strangest place I have seen this picture show up is as part of the cover of the Fantasy Figure Modeller magazine that layabout Jez masturbates to in the terrific British comedy Peep Show. <Peep Show S01E02 P01 - YouTube> It shows that the picture has widespread appeal, if nothing else...

I like this article too. The feats are lackluster, but that was true of plenty of feats from 3.0's release to 3.5's demise. I thought the lifestones were handled nicely: they'll have an effect for perhaps one adventure, but since they're stationary they're unlikely to be of much benefit after...

Just added a Rules Expansion to the top thread: Additional rules and content for the playtest by StAlda <Our changes to extend play> (NEW) Please let me know if there's more playtest support material I'm missing.

That thread was also started by (un)reason: he posts the same content to both.
