Feast of Goblyns ⭐⭐ Feast of Goblyns is interesting, but it's like a train wreck piled upon a train wreck. I stopped reading it after around 30 pages, because it was just a mess. In my mind, I'm like, "well, I can ignore this", and "I can skip all this", and I was left with like 1 out of 30...

Without boring you with a ton of detail, I've been giving some thought to a session that will occur in my campaign in the future. Basically, a princess in a far away kingdom is being manipulated by a succubus. The same succubus has already assumed the form of the Queen and killed the King. Now...

I'm trying to work out a sort of history to a campaign I'm working on, and the campaign as I have it written involves a somewhat convoluted plot involving someone using an Orb of Dragonkind to attack a nearby kingdom. The essence of that plot isn't entirely relevant to this discussion. However...

I'm joining a 3.5 campaign. The party has: a Wizard, a favored soul, a dwarven cleric, and some sort of paladin/rogue. The GM said the group needs a front-line tank/fighter type. I'm OK with fighters, but not a big fan of barbarians or rangers, and I've never played a monk. He's suggesting...

Gen Con, circa .... I don't know, probably early 2000s? The WoTC designers ran a tournament-style game. Essentially, the game consisted of a dungeon, and parties would enter said dungeon. If any party members survived the dungeon, the players could write notes and leave them on a billboard...

I'm looking for resources, ideas, inspiration around making D&D really dark. And if you read that and immediately a half a dozen rules supplement came to mind, I'm gonna stop you right there. I don't want rules. A lot of these are half-assed attempts at really limiting magic, resources, items...

I'm curious to know how people are getting their RPG gaming fix on right now...

I'm toying with the idea of constructing a campaign around something with the feel of the Witcher. Specifically Velen. For people who aren't familiar, Velen is basically a despicable swampy land, where the people live in constant fear of monsters, abject poverty, hunger, corruption, bandits...

Someone local scooped this a few minutes ago, and I had to go check it out for myself. RPG dice for $1 - at Dollar Tree.

Years ago, I used to use a mapping software package that was tile-based, and super easy to use. You could even create your own .bmp tiles and import them, so you had limitless options. I can't seem to find it anywhere, and I don't remember what it was called. This ring a bell with anyone...

So, it's coming up on Christmas, and as I am a geek, and my wife is not, she relies on my Amazon wish list to help her buy gifts for me. So, I oblige her by putting stuff in the list. It's usually comprised of gaming books, and classical music CDs - two things which are notoriously difficult...

In a campaign I'm working on, I've devised an island that requires a constant supply of slaves. These slaves are divided up into a variety of ways on the island, because there are several entities here which require them for experimentation, or other purposes. A small town exists to supply these...

Ok, so this is a bit long, but ultimately quite fascinating (at least to me). So, recently, I discovered a website called www.adventurelookup.com. Whoever created this thing deserve a good backrub, or something, because it's awesome. It's a database of D&D modules. So, I was using it to do...

Hey hivemind, I'm working on a new campaign and I've got a decent handle on the beginning and the end, but it's the middle part I'm trying to fill in. (this is 5e) Summary: Cultists unleash a plague on a town by tainting the food supply. The resulting plague drains strength. Then, they start...

So, IMC, I want to make a noble lord undead. As in, part of his backstory involves him wanting to become undead, and he pays a sum of money, and then does that. What are my options? Lich, it seems, is limited to just arcane casters and also WAY too high of a CR to be useful. Vampire could...

It seems more than likely that someone on this site might have done it. Any amateur etymologists dug into this one? We should find them, and give them credit where it's due.

I'm in the market for some good PDFs or products. But, what I'm looking for seems a bit elusive. I want... ideas. I want side quests. I want locations. What I don't want: Crunch (don't need it; won't use it), campaign settings (already have one I like), a campaign (already built my own, TYVM)...

But be brief about it! If you're running a published campaign, that's fine, too. I'll start: The players collect the 7 pieces of the "Rod of Law" which ultimately shows them that ultimate law isn't any better than ultimate chaos.

I'm searching for good side quest ideas. If I google this topic, I can find a myriad of side quest ideas, but most of them explore the same old boring tropes, and are really quite simplistic and overdone. I'm looking for actual good ideas for side quests. For example, IMC, the party has the...

I need to generate stat blocks for a bunch of cultists. I need very little in the way of personality, or appearance type information, and I can generally make up the equipment stuff pretty easily. I just want stat blocks, and spells for a bunch of evil clerics. Most of the NPC generators are...
