    Primitive and Advanced Barbarian Tribes

    Greetings! In my Thandor Campaign, I have reworked the barbarian class to reflect different natural environments. Then, I have special culture-specific armour, weapons, skills, feats, and special abilities based on what kind of barbarian the character is. I have then tweaked the core Barbarian...

    Do You Use Different Languages In Your Campaign?

    Greetings! OH!...*delicious*. *laughs* That's just effing amazing, you know? Indeed, I have whole swaths of land in my Thandor Campaign where people are born, live, and die--and never learn anything other than their single, native home language or particular dialect. Just like in the real...

    Player Meltdown; Input Requested

    Greetings! Hey, Keeper! Yeah, buddy, he sounds like a decent friend. Just stick by him, and support him in getting whatever help he needs. The game can wait. The game is just that--a *game*. Now, when it comes time to play with your friend again--yeah, have his character change to another...

    Using Different Dog Breeds!

    Greetings! Hmmm..."irrelevant"? No, I don't think so. And well, obviously, there are many players and DM's as well that think it is quite relevant, and interesting, and adds some cool detail and dimesnions to the miliue. Sandor Hound The Sandor breed of dogs have been specially bred over the...

    The Random Dungeon Expedition!

    Greetings! Well, Irda Ranger, I have spent some time to modify the random encounter tables by CR in the DM's Guide, carefully customizing them. I flesh out some treasure, the creature's tactics, that kind of thing. Then, I occasionally do something different with a leader character--like a 6th...

    How Important Is Art In Your Campaign?

    Greetings! Very true, Aeric! The whole tricorn hat and waistcoat--from the 17th and 18th centuries!--in a very different time period! Indeed, clothes do not have to be slavishly tied to a historical era, but some of the time-jumbling with styles is...*jarring*! :) Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Primitive and Advanced Barbarian Tribes

    Greetings! That is an excellent article! I've loved it for years. I think it is good for barbarian tribes to be different, interesting and unique. The RAW barbarian is pretty vanilla and boring. Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Embracing Dynamic Discoveries and Change in the Campaign!

    Greetings! I was also thinking about this: In your campaigns, are there certain spells that have been researched that only some nations or kingdoms possess, and not others? Has the development of new and different magic spells changed society in some interesting way in your campaign? Semper...

    The Aboleth!!

    Greetings! Well, when the party goes on expeditions deep into the earth, it is often fun and interesting to develop plots, and strange cities with Aboleth involved. These are weird, giant amphibious creatures, Lawful Evil, that have great magical and psionic power (optional)--that live in deep...

    The Random Dungeon Expedition!

    Greetings! Well, I have one group of friends that are pretty combat-focused, booty-hungry players. On occasion, I have designed a huge series of dungeons--caverns, hallways, rooms, floorplans, and so on. Along with these interchangeable dungeons, I have designed and statted up a whole roster...

    How Important Is Art In Your Campaign?

    Greetings! Good stuff Milagroso! Nice ideas there, too. And you're welcome as well for the inspiration. I think art is oftentimes overlooked, you know? Plus, I always like to think that players--or hell, npc's, too!--should actually be able to accomplish something kinda cool by devoting skill...

    Do You Use Different Languages In Your Campaign?

    Greetings! Oh, indeed! There is *always* that temptation....I sometimes think it so much easier to just hand-wave it all away....you're quite right feeling that temptation...it does make things easier, I admit! :) Semper Fidelis, SHARK

    Using Different Dog Breeds!

    Requiring Players To Draw The Dungeon Map!

    Greetings! Back in the day, drawing the dungeon map was a requirement. I've noticed that over the years, in many campaigns I have played in or read or heard about, this custom has been largely discarded as too time consuming, and irrelevant. I still like to use it in my campaigns though...

    Creating Interesting and Fun Taverns!!

    Greetings! Well, in my campaign world of Thandor, I always try and create some kind of signature tavern in most places that the players visit--especially large cities. Smaller towns are a bit more generic, of course, but exceptions can be found. In my experience, despite the laden cliche of the...
