    Just got it yesterday and it looks pretty solid; I'd love an opportunity to unpack my thoughts there. But I also really love the Black Wyrm. Strixhaven was mostly if y'all want to see me have a 100% meltdown on screen. :D

    Grim Hollow Campaign Guide - 3rd Party Review

    Thanks! Was the Player's Guide a worthwhile purchase for you? (Actually, did you do a review of that? I would love to read it if so, but I know you've got a lot on your plate). I didn't find the issues in the book to be complete dealbreakers, but they do make me think I would probably find a...

    Hey y'all! Just figured out you could do polls on here, so I figured I'd be fancy and post one up.

    Grim Hollow Campaign Guide - 3rd Party Review

    I would certainly agree that we need to be careful with our coding, but my point was not "tropes bad." My point was that by taking real-life inspiration for something, you also need to be cognizant of how that source material interacted with and rose out of its environment. Otherwise, the result...

    Review / Remix: Everyday Heroes' "To Dethrone A Dictator"

    Once the PCs have made a choice about which lead they want to pursue (or are pursuing them both), we hit an inflection point. Infiltrating the Bumicorp HQ is difficult. The HQ itself is a prefab structure where engineering staff are being housed, along with a small detachment of mercenary...

    Grim Hollow Campaign Guide - 3rd Party Review

    An excellent callout! The book certainly feels like the world is magical, which helps it fit the 5E milieu. Alright, y'all! We're covering two chapters today: Factions of Etharis and The Etharis Pantheon. Let's get cracking! Factions of Etharis is five pages long (including two full page art...

    Alright friends and neighbors, Sparky comin' at you again with another blisteringly spice take!!! Get your blood pressure checked annually if you're over 30. That advice about saved my life last week, so I wanted to pay it forward. Alright, heavy stuff's out of the way, so let's dig into the...

    Review / Remix: Everyday Heroes' "To Dethrone A Dictator"

    Well, I'm in good company, at any rate! Alright folks, so to launch a sandbox, you want a nice big BANG! that will shoot the players into the sandbox with impetus to start frantically knocking stuff over. In this case, as the PCs are all outsiders, what they want is to get off the island once...

    Grim Hollow Campaign Guide - 3rd Party Review

    Alright friends, back again! Science experiment isn't going well, but I plan to bribe the teacher anyway, so it's all good. Moving on to chapter 5: Transformations!! This is the real promise of this book for me: how do you offer lichdom, vampirehood, or lycanthropy as an option for your...

    Grim Hollow Campaign Guide - 3rd Party Review

    If anything, I'm heading in the other direction. I really like some of the mechanics so far, but the world seems a bit flat. Then again, for a player's first introduction to Warhammer Etharis, it's probably new to them. So it works well enough. Glad I could help! There's six curses, each that...

    Grim Hollow Campaign Guide - 3rd Party Review

Chapter 2: Races of Etharis is seven pages long, and introduces the main races of the world: Humans Elves Dwarves Half-Orcs Half-Elves Dragonborn Gnomes Halflings Of those eight races, you'll note that five of...

    Well, folks, it's your old pal, Sparky! I had to take a while off from reviews, mostly due to three clowns and a municipal judge. But never fear! I have RETURNED!!!* So on my last review for Weird Wastelands, distinguished colleague and poster on these fine forums Libertad mentioned that they...

    D&D General What Is NAP?

    It took me like 30 seconds to get that joke, which usually means I need more sleep. Still, you got a solid chortle out of me!
