I tend to have different books scattered around my house and on different devices so I can read little snippets in downtime no matter where I am or what I've got with me. Most of it is currently gaming books, which for me are generally good for relatively short reading periods. I read a ton of...

Just saw this at paizo.com, a sale that ends today. Founder's Day Sale! 20% Off Select Core Essentials: Rulebooks, Starter Sets, and GM Screens, Physical and PDF. Valid January 16th-26th.

Horrostor was fantastic. A friend of mine used that as a basis for a scenario in our X-Filesish d20 Modern game and it was amazing.

Havens of the Great Bay (2e) 2e Undead: At the Height of a winter storm the Gorgon used his power to raise undead legions from the dead of Wierech, Danigau, and Dauren. True Vampire: ? Undead Minion: ?

You could say something quick like, there is some controversy over Goodman and you don't support them anymore, (if that is your case) so you are using 3rd party DCC funnel X as your example funnel and pull out something like Sunken City Omnibus from Purple Sorcerer Games which has a couple...

Harbinger House (2e) 2e Low-Level Undead: ? Ghoul, Low-Level Undead: ?

Greyhawk: Return of the Eight (2e) 2e Undead: ? Apparition: If not restored to life within 24 hours of death, an apparition's victim becomes another apparition in 2d4 hours. Because he failed his deity Iuz, the priest in charge of the raiders was cursed to become an apparition, a horrible form...

Glantri: Kingdom of Magic (2e) 2e Haunt: A haunt is an undead spirit still tied to the world of the living for some reason. The haunt's only motivation is to complete some task left undone in its life. Haunt, Undead Spirit, Restless Undead Spirit, Spectral Image, Tiny Hovering Ball of Light: ...

I just finished S. Petersen's Field Guide to Lovecraftian Horrors. My son got me the hardcover for Christmas. 128 pages of monster and Great Old One descriptions with lush art. Statless and in character. Two page spread plus a big piece of art for each entry, 53 entities covered, plus a size...

Yep, we swapped those out to use the monster spell like ability metamagic feats, so no DC increase but usable x times per day. Keeping it simple. The truespeaker was a member of the Paragnostic Assembly, but it was a flavor thing tying him into the plot, not the prestige class.

I had a player want to play a truespeaker in a game but I felt it was way too fiddly mechanically for specific DCs and scaling and specific buffing gear so I came up with houserules to simplify it a bit. Truespeaking (Level Check + Int vs. 10+CR) Law of Repetition houserule. Each use against...

FRS1 The Dalelands (2e) 2e Restless Dead, Dead: ? Restless Spirit of a Fallen Warrior: ? Ghost: There is a local legend that tells of the one night each year that the dead of the Cold Field walk. It comes in the deepest, darkest night of winter. The farmers and shepherds whisper of ghostly...

It was interesting and had potential, but I mostly came down on the side of not really seeing LG paladin Hieroneous and LG cleric St. Cuthbert churches allying with explicitly evil Vecna priests just to war upon pact magic users. Possibly if pact magic were unleashing an apocalypse or destroying...

Necrotic Gnome does OSE, a B/X retroclone so it is fairly close to 2e, including optional advanced rules to put 1e classes and spells and monsters into a B/X framework. Things will be a little weaker than AD&D (B/X PCs have smaller HD, smaller max ability score bonuses, etc.) Their Dolmenwood...

One way is to keep random charts but have something like 5e advantage on the rolls so you are likely to get something applicable to the situation and what you are doing, that will give you more of the good stuff when you need it, but also have some randomness. For the failure when recoverable...

It is sort of random twice, once in rolling up the four zero level characters, but then again as you try and protect your characters and death comes randomly and easily. I think my first funnel death came from everybody make a luck roll, those who fail die, in which there is no way to protect...

Yes, but for viewing say Deadlands I do not know if it was an attempt to make it a glorification or whitewashing of the Confederacy or an attempt to make a gameable Weird West with no slavery but a plot element of prolongation of the Civil War and giving people from the American South as a...
