    How to TPK

    In a lot of cases the group will be more then just the PCs, so such a player can take control of an NPC, animal companion, familiar, mount, or other such thing. Some times, I will have a player take control of a bad guy, for or monster. For more fun, have the PC stick around as a ghost or...

    Trinda Oldgate "I'm sorry I do not. I took her words to heart. I stopped looking, and have never looked back. I understood the need to keep you secret and safe. To give you time to grow up. As the years past, I kept it out of my mind, but never forgotten." She nods when you suggest...

    Making Modern Communication Work in Horror Games

    The big thing about a phone call is that you might not want help. If the characters are anything other then say teenagers at summer camp, then calling for help is not at the top of the list. Even if they "need" help. For example if the characters are Cryptoid Bounty Hunters, the last thing...

    How do you like to start a campaign

    I start with a BANG! My now classic is to have the PCs meet at a tavern for roughly two minutes..... then have the tavern explode and fall into the Abyss. It is a great way to jump start a game. To just have the PCs falling through a Vortex of Infinity always works out great. Having the...

    D&D General Wild Magic, Yea or Nay?

    I love random chaos in a game. My game houserules always make magic dangerous and wild. I'm not a fan of the "things always work exactly as the rules say" Most rules don't do good wild magic. Like the 5E wild magic sorcerer gets a 'wild surge' once in a while...and, odd, "luckly abilities"...
