Item Backstories: Item the Second: Bead of Nourishment Continuing along with the idea of Inherited Traits and Accidental Enchantments for magic items, we have next on our list the Bead of Nourishment from Xanathar’s Guide to Everything, p.136. This one took more than ten bullet points to lock...

The reference is from the adventure Four From Cormyr, which lists eight laws, including that cats may not be harmed. The idea behind this is the belief that cats are the eyes of the gods, so to harm a cat is to invite bad luck on yourself.

Glad to hear it! Sandbox-style play is what Cormyr In The Year Of The Ageless One is all about. I'm working on a revision and expansion of that product, too, so please plan on having access to a lot more content in a few months. I don't think anyone is trolling. The idea of Cormyr having a...

Magic Items: Inherited Traits and Accidental Enchantments I just love Xanathar’s Guide to Everything (XGtE). It’s got something for everyone. And unlike a lot of other sourcebooks, each dose of “something for everyone” is big, not small. That is, there’s a lot of crossover value (i.e., value...

TEN IDEAS FOR THE HERMIT'S WOODS (NEAR BLUSTICH) • In the Hermit’s Wood, on consecutively cloudy nights, one can tell if the moon has shown through the clouds by night because a certain flower changes color under the light of the moon. • Leafmaps form on dead leaves, not just living ones. •...

TEN IDEAS FOR BLUSTICH • On the Dragon Coast, in the village of Blustich, the women sing and the men play instruments. • This is for most gatherings involving summoning the wind and the spirits of the fog. • Of course the men and women of Blustich sing and play instruments as suits their...

So many good memories. Thank you for a pleasant trip down memory lane. :)

All the feels. My bookshelves are bowed from all the D&D-specific and D&D artist books collected over the years. Time to make room for one more.

Harbold's Hellraisers are back! Here's the final writeup for Harbold and his fellow adventurers, as it appears in my Neverwinter sourcebook. I hope you find it useful.

#74: Trinket Horrors Finding an abandoned hold in which to retreat from the world was easy; Cormyr is full of such places. Living with the...things...was hard, at first. Odds and ends gather everywhere living creatures exist. Possessions outlive their owners. Absent someone to use them...

"Crystaline perfection" is the perfect phrase for DMs that take it too far. This is something I've heard of, but never experienced at the gaming table. I would not want to wish it on any player. The closest I've come is a DM that was running a successful AD&D Realms campaign set in...

Ramming my head into a brick wall would have provided more value than reading the first sentence of your reply, Aldarc. It's wise, I've found, to be mindful of the fact that people you're interacting with have their own gaming experiences--some of us going back 30 years or more--so when people...

Spot on. If a DM is having fun building a campaign world, then it will show in the experience the players have at the gaming table. The same happens to be true for game design, I've found.

The awesomeness is unstoppable. You rock, Dyson. Keep up the good work.

I've no desire to support Pinnacle or Savage Rifts (and I LIKE Rifts a lot) while Fannon remains involved.

Are you on the DMs Guild, Ymdar? If yes, let me know here or by PM. I'd be happy to send you a complimentary copy of my little Neverwinter book. Might be some more there you can use.

Worldbuilding is for the enjoyment of the DM. It's that part of the game where the pleasure of writing and creating coincides with planning out how to generate fun and a good time for others. Even with established campaign worlds like the Forgotten Realms, worldbuilding is a blast.

As a thank you to EN World, and to the members who've participated in this thread and left kind comments, I thought I would post an image of some of the adventuring companies that first appeared in this thread, but have since been ported over to the in-progress-with-updates-and-revisions version...
