    D&D 5E (2014) So...Volo, Xanathar...who's next?

    I'd love to work on such a thing and think I could do a bang up job on it, but I'd be surprised if anyone at WotC knows who I am right now. My only 5e product wasn't released through the DM's Guild, and nobody I worked with however briefly in 4e is still there as far as I know. Plus I'm going...

    Vorkannis never thinks small-scale. It's in his nature. There's worse to come. The next few updates will have some major plot development.

    Over 1700 years earlier: The chamber was vast, its ceiling vaulted, and yet despite its profound size it managed to appear cluttered, filled as it was with bookcases, tables covered in open tomes and scrolls, and dozens of sprawling, fantastical magical and alchemical apparatuses, all...

    The climb up the red stone butte was long and slow, complicated by a lack of natural handholds in places, flickers of wild magic precipitating out of the stone, and the presence of carbonized mezzoloth corpses that clung tight to the stone, only to crumble to ashes when touched, defying any...

    Clueless - rogue/wizard/arcane trickster/unique PrC eventually Tristol - wizard/archmage Nisha - rogue/wizard/XaOsiTeCT PrC Fyrehowl - barbarian/monk/cipher PrC (we justified the combination of monk and barbarian through the whole monastic cipher theme and their focus on intuitive action) Toras...

    The group continued their trek through the twisted, magically warped landscape of the Dire Wood, cautiously avoiding the worst of what Tristol described as “wizard weather” and the largest packs of both the wandering undead and a number of ancient, weathered, and utterly violent golems and other...

    The burning cloud washed over the top of the butte, stretching from the base of the onyx pyramid and flowing like a seeking, life-hungry liquid down the face of the cliff towards the mezzoloths clambering up the side upon and atop each other. “My Oinoloth,” Venrisala turned towards the...

    The two Wulgreths are actually canonical. Wulgreth of Netheril (demilich) and Wulgreth of Ascalhorn (lich) are apparently the result of two different authors creating a backstory for the Wulgreth lairing in Karse, and one of them being utterly unaware of the previous source that already handled...

    “Well there’s a welcome mat rolled right out for us…” Toras smirked before rubbing his hands together and looking quite pleased, “But hey! We get to probably fight a death knight!” “Splendid.” Florian touched her holy symbol, knowing that she’d likely need its power soon. “So Tristol, do you...

    **** The next five hours passed without incident, save for the tension between Tristol and his mother that left the others holding their breath and their tongues. Tristol’s father did his best to mediate it all before anything unfortunate and regrettable might be said, and as for Nisha… it was...

    The far realms aren't exactly out of the story yet. They'll be there in the background in a few places along the way. They're a major element of the sequel campaign to this one (which I'll move back to writing once this one is over - probably years from now). As for Shemeska's meddling with the...

    And you saying so made my evening! :D Seriously, anyone who comments, however brief makes me smile and want to immediately write more (which I'm doing right now). I'm glad that you enjoyed the Architect story! There will be a few gaps filled in this current storyhour arc, but more questions...

    Thank you! I was really blessed with players that didn't mind talking to NPCs and each other for a session without combat if not having combat made sense.

    “So what was this that the two of you wanted to tell the rest of us?” Clueless looked across the table at Tristol and Nisha. The Portal Jammers’ owners sat together around a table in the back room of the tavern, with the sole exception of Florian who’d yet to make her appearance. Tristol and...

    As useful as the money would be, I genuinely hope nobody is crazy enough to select that (not exactly serious) reward level such that I'd be obligated to be serious and fulfill that as promised. God help me.

    Also in the meantime, I'm running a GoFundMe to help get to PaizoCon this year. I'm also offering some reward spots to play in a custom 1-shot game (one set in Pathfinder's cosmology, and one set in Planescape). https://www.gofundme.com/send-todd-stewart-to-paizocon
