GenCon 2016 is Coming

Emails from GenCon today started me thinking about games for this year. Like the last few years, I have two games that I’ll run twice. The first is an idea I got from looking at a listing on another Con site and combining it with my oldest sons obsession with Lost: Return to Gilligan’s Island […]

Dungeon Masters Guild Part Two – Money

I’m enjoying adding content to the Dungeon Masters Guild. Here’s a link to my current list of products: Products Out of the five products that have been up for a week or more, two are Pay what You Want, and the others have a set price. Here is a screen capture of the sales and […]

Dungeon Masters Guild – First Product(s)

After contemplating (yea, that’s what I was doing while the site was inactive – contemplating) for a few days, I’ve decided to move the Cleric Domains from here to the Dungeon Masters Guild. I messed up with the settings – they were supposed to be Pay What you Want, but I messed something up and […]

Sorcerous Origin – Touched by a Deity

I’ve created a sorcerer NPC, and a Sorcerer PC. While interesting, I don’t think they have enough options. More specifically the two sorcerous origins seem pretty slim. The dragon option seems too cool (flight!), so not sure why anyone would choose the Wild Magic option (let me know in the comments). More to the point, […]

Gilligan’s Island is Crowded

The gaming group had a small get together this weekend to include some friends from another city. I put together an event based on Gilligan’s Island using the 5e system. Skipper and Gilligan return to the island to rescue/exact revenge on a group (the Gygaxians) the attacked them. It was fun. Good players for Gilligan […]

Characters and Kids

I’m working on a new module for a local get together (more on that below). So I’ve had my laptop open with my Players Handbook (5e is the system) creating characters and watching baseball down in the basement. This caught the attention of my youngest son and I’ve been explaining the different options and backgrounds […]

Ken and Robin and SciFi and Fantasy

In their last podcast (Ken and Robin Talk About Stuff Ep 156) Ken and Robin answered a question from a listener about differences between Science Fiction and Fantasy – essentially the question was why no “default” setting in Science Fiction like there is in Fantasy. I normally listen to podcasts either in my car on […]

5e Fighter – Now with More Pirate!

One of the PCs in my Hoard of the Dragon Queen game is playing a Pirate themed Cleric. We’ve been having some fun detailing what extra domain spells and powers she should have. Started me thinking about a Pirate themed fighter so I took a shot at detailing what a Pirate Martial Archetype would be. […]

The Shock of a Home Game

Now that GenCon 2015 is sadly over, I am back to running Hoard of the Dragon Queen for my home group. Holy crap was I not ready. Don’t get me wrong, I prepped the story. I had the locations ready. I even leveled up some of the villains that I expect were not supposed to […]

GenCon 2015 Final Thoughts

For my day by day reviews check Day 0 and 1, Day 2, Day 3, and Day 4. Bullet point thoughts. The JW Marriott is a great hotel, cant beat the staff and location. Needs more coffee. Every day was busy. Soon the gamers will overwhelm Indianapolis. As much as I like 5e, Savage Worlds […]
