    What are you reading in 2025?

    Confirmed. I now eagerly await the second book in the planned trilogy, and hope it doesn't take too long. And then, knowing The Raven Scholar wouldn't last me all week (and it didn't), and with nothing interesting left on my "to be read" pile, I borrowed a book from my son I got him two...

    D&D General How Was Your Last Session?

    What are you reading in 2025?

    This past week was another week-long business trip, so I had plenty of time for reading. I finished Chuck Grossart's The Gemini Effect which was really well-written (and you could tell the author had a military background by how well the military parts read), and had a point not quite at the...

    D&D 5E (2024) I'm running a one-shot tonight, hoping to turn it into an ongoing game!

    Your Plague Dog badge is giving me Sutekh vibes (from the Fourth Doctor Doctor Who episode, "Pyramids of Mars"). "Your evil is my good..." Johnathan

    What are you reading in 2025?

    I'm now reading Chuck Grossart's novel, The Gemini Effect. A mutated virus had gotten loose in Kansas City, and now mutated rats have slaughtered pretty much everyone in the vicinity, either slaying them and eating them or passing along the virus, which had proven its ability to leap across...

    D&D General Does anyone recall coming across any magic weapons that return when thrown...other than Dwarven Thrower, Hammer of Thunderbolts or magic boomerangs?

    It's kind of cheating, but didn't the cleric in R. A. Salvatore's "Cleric Quintet" series of novels use a halfling yo-yo as a weapon? Johnathan

    D&D 5E (2024) Opinions on the Topaz Dragon Reverse Wings?

    Um...no. And I not only dislike the wing structure, I also don't like the "floating" dorsal spines or the general thickness of the neck. Do not like, would not use. Johnathan

    Down to Erthe (D&D 3.5 campaign)

    Interesting. My son used a belt of landwalking in one of his previous campaigns, which transformed the merfolk wearer's fish-tail into legs when they needed to go on land; I didn't want to do the exact same thing, so I used the "extra body" concept that Alan Moore used in his Marvelman (later...

    The Middle of Elsewhere (D&D 3.5 campaign)

    I can't help but find this funny: today, the day I posted the update where Elsewhere plane shifted to a layer of Hell, there are exactly 666 views of this Story Hour. Johnathan
