Thanks for this review. I am currently playing in this excellent campaign and it’s a fantastic experience, with excellent roleplay opportunities as well as exciting (and often scary) scenarios. It is quite dark in tone, which I personally enjoy, and I’m blessed to have a great DM ( @TheSword )...

Great contrast between the measured approach of the player characters and the "kick open the door and attack" of the NPC, Vinx!

I have the privilege of being a player in Dungeons of Drakkenheim ( @TheSword is DM) and can endorse all the above. It's a superb adventure in every sense.

This is great to read, especially with so many memories of running and playing KotB. The interaction between the characters, as they begin to meld into a team is superb.

I used the “First Fantasy Campaign” as my Second Fantasy Campaign (!) after an initial homebrew. I think I was about 16-ish, so it would be around 1979 I guess. The Egg of Coot was an off-screen big baddie, and never figured directly. Players did meet the Earl of Vestfold though, and cleansed...

Really enjoying this. Thank you for taking the time to post.

When bulettes bite hard and hit points are low, And dragons fly high but enlarge spells won’t grow And we’re changing our dice, getting different rolls Then owlbears, owlbears will tear us apart again. Owlbears, owlbears will tear us apart again.

PS There’s a guy works down the chip shop, swears he’s Gygax.

@Snarf Zagyg is absolutely brilliant. A true master-bard, singing the songs of the entire hobby!

Really, I'm not. I'm just telling it as it is. @Steampunkette is a brilliant DM and an awesome writer. It would be wrong to say that she is "wasted" on the more mechanical aspects of the game (classes, spells, archetypes etc.) because these things are crucial to all our play, and Rachel has a...

You are born to write!

You are also really, really, really good at designing awesome cities and their surrounds, including adventures and encounters. I remember such a buzz from your Scorpion Lands game, where the cities were alive with factions, intrigue and personalities. I could literally see the flickers of...

The Forest Oracle Revisited.

I voted magic items, but what I'd really love to see the most would be an adventure, or, better yet, an adventure path from you!

The evil water cultists didn't actually release anything. Or at least not of their own accord. Their role was to transport an aboleth into the flooded temple, for its own dark and evil purposes. And now it is exactly where it wanted to be.....

There's the old 3E mega-module, Axe of the Dwarvish Lords.

Keep going. The story will develop and you will develop as a writer alongside it.

I honestly never understood why Gygax was so adamant in downplaying Tolkien's influence on D&D. The level of influence seemed both very high and very obvious.

This is such a great series of articles, along with the similar series on Dragon mag. Partly because they track the history and development of the game in a slightly different way than the various books and YouTube videos, and partly because they link to one’s own life memories in a nostalgic...

Regarding the cover, I assumed the spheres were the dragon's eggs, and Mama returned none too happy about what the adventurers were doing to her brood.
