Like I said, check back every few weeks because their inventory changes. No idea how they even stay in business with as cheap as some of their books are, and it's not just RPGs--it's everything. I've gotten some incredible deals on historical books about castles and other stuff, like the two...

I got you, mang. Check this out: https://www.hamiltonbook.com/the-game-masters-book-of-traps-puzzles-and-dungeons-hardbound_4 They now charge shipping (but it's cheap) so load up!

Not sure if y'all are aware of it, but Hamiltonbooks dot com has some amazing deals. I just picked up two hardbound books (The Gamemaster's Book of Astonishing Random Tables and The Gamemaster's Book of Traps, Puzzles and Dungeons) for $6.95 a piece (they're normally around $25 a piece)...

From the department of what it is worth: This deals with contract law. Contract law is, by it's very nature, an obscure and murky area of law. Extremely intelligent attorneys are paid many hundreds of thousands of dollars a year to deal with these matters, and that requires a great deal of...

Interesting, indeed! Adds a bit of historical information that can be woven into a narrative to increase immersion. It's the details that go unnoticed that have the most impact on realism.

I imagine they’d be no more than 3-5 pounds a piece. There’d probably be carried by cross-tongs and wouldn’t be a huge heat source but enough to raise the room temp 5-10 degrees, perhaps, and adjust the humidity a bit. While the main hearth would definitely get the entire interior warmer, there...

Absolutely! I love lacing my work back and forth with as many cross references as I can put in to deepen the realism—think the tv show Lost and how everything related to everything else. I could see this fragment of the fallen god pulling a Che’loth and starting to amass more intelligent...

So, I had an idea for a heating system to use in conjunction with cob homes with good thermal mass like those built in Wales and England. I have homes in a northern kingdom that are built round with cob, and have an attached barn. For their heating, in addition to the main hearth, they use...

lmao Love that meme. It was built as a secluded storehouse and laboratory for preserving artifacts of the past, and warehousing what couldn't or shouldn't be destroyed. Also, it was built with Old World magical knowledge by the last of the archmages from the Age of Dreams, and when they all...

I definitely get the horror fatigue. That's why I want this to be very subtle, and the monsters within few and deadly. Much of the danger will come from natural hazards like crumbling bridges and unstable walkways. I want it to be weird, too, on a Stephen King-esque level. However, it's going to...

I've started the creation process of a massive ruin, and I wanted some feedback on the concepts. The site is called Volgas Dol, and it's a large ruin of a castle in the high desert of the Ciaran Badlands, west of the Karolus Mountains. The image is AI generated, but serves as a great backdrop...

Chapter Two from my campaign setting book, The Third Millennium Guide To Erdeyn. Looking for feedback on the formatting. New to using Scribus, but I don't think I'm doing too terribly. Erring on the side of a simpler format in terms of decorative elements under the premise that less is more...

Cob has excellent thermal qualities for just that purpose. Plus, the sun would heat the walls, the nearby pines would shelter it from the winds, and the rammed earth floors (built with a loose cob) would be fairly warm. I'm surprised there's no reference to rocket stoves used in cob homes--the...

That is glorious. I'm so using the hypocaust storage room design in some fashion in my steam tunnels and my halfling communities in northern climates. Thank you for the great information! Edit: I may just add a rounded cob oven to the center with a free-standing chimney rising up to the top of...

Yeah, no...this is all cheesecake/luis royo style stuff. Edit: Finally got to re-read through it. A few questions... Are there any good scribus tutorials? I'm aiming for WotC-tier artwork and layouts. There must be other options to PoD that do use Scribus, surely? Can we just use another site...

I debated that. It would likely be surrounded on the windward side by thick conifer trees to help shelter it, but they'd be far enough back to also allow for plenty of sunlight, too. Just figured it would be an interesting way to give it some character. There are another set of peoples in...
