    D&D General Preparing dungeons without knowing the setting or campaign

    Old shows that you enjoy?

    I think its an expectations thing, I like the nostalgia of the old shows but accept that the general quality is not going to be up to modern standards or that some things that might have seemed cool when I was 10 are now just groan-worthy.

    (5.24 PBP) Vault of the Dracolich (IC) Redux

    TEAM LAKE - SUBJECT: SHADE-9 - MISSION: SEPLUNKING Shade-9 leaned back against the rush of water as they plunged over the fall, adjusting his spray-blind optics.

    Trailer Red Sonja trailer

    All it will need is King Conan sitting dramatically on the Throne raving about the evil of civilized men's tongues being more deadly than swords - then hand the action off to Conn* (*I wonder who has the rights to that)

    TEAM LAKE-SUBJECT: Shade-9 - SYSTEM UPGRADE v.4.0 Shade-9 stood by as the team settled along the stream bank, stretching, drying out and making what repairs and preparations they required. A thin blue line shimmered across his chest plate and then vanished, 14.3 seconds, like an indrawn breath...

    D&D General How do devils actually get to the world from hell?

    Mortals doing acts of evil will create a channel even if they are not actively summoning. Spirits look for these channels to find weak spots in the veil they can worm their way through. Thats why demons are always whispering temptations pushing mortals to such acts ...

    Heh, I'm doing a similar thing inspired by Dynasty Warriors where Units are treated as dormant terrain hazards which the DM can deploy on a battlefield immobile until they triggered by PC or Enemy passing through on their way to an actual objective. PC Commanders get a feat to attach a Unit as...

    TEAM LAKE – CAVE ENTRANCE [Short Rest?] The side stream was a much gentler journey than the river rapids had been and Shade-9 felt a lightness of being as he perfected his paddle technique and enjoyed the sounds of water against seal-hide. Reaching the cave, it appeared that the team intended...
