I really had trouble picking out three articles from the most recent issue of Kobold Quarterly. Not that it’s a bad issue – the exact opposite, it’s amazing! Too good, that I couldn’t just pick three articles. But I knew that if I tried to make it longer, then eventually the list would spiral out [...]

Gator Games is giving me another opportunity to run a giveaway, and this time, it’s for the Dungeon Master’s Guide 2 for 4th Edition!
I haven’t had a chance to review it yet (I will hopefully by the end of this week), but everything about this book has been good. Seriously, walk out there onto the [...]
[Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition] 9's Cobra Seamstress
September 12th, 2009 · No Comments · Game Material, RPG Bloggers Network
As I mentioned before, I saw 9 last night, and one of the enemies I really liked was the Cobra Seamstress (officially just the Seamstress), a very cool monster that looked like this:
I thought it was very cool. So cool, in fact, that one of the first things I thought to myself when I got [...]
[Review] The Martialist for 4e from the Fantasy Cartographic
August 15th, 2009 · 4 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Review
Alright, I’m catching up on some of the reviews I’ve been meaning to do for a while. First up is a review of a 4e class called the martialist. The martialist is a variation on a martial monk, a brawler who is in complete control of his body and does not have any need for [...]
[Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition] How to Make Powers Matter Outside of Combat
June 23rd, 2009 · 4 Comments · RPG Bloggers Network, Tips
Last Friday on Twitter, a few people were discussing that the powers in 4e are the reason that players say they can’t roleplay. I don’t think this is true, but I did figure out a way to use the powers in an interesting way outside of combat.
Flavor text.
Stat blocks are made up of two primary [...]

[Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition] Savage Species: The Marut
June 11th, 2009 · 7 Comments · Game Material, RPG Bloggers Network
I was talking to Greywulf on Twitter a few nights ago about a number of things – bullywugs, the good old days of gaming, and making PC races for 4th Edition. At some point I mentioned the ridiculous idea of going through the Monster Manual in order and making everything a playable race. He brought [...]

[Dungeoncraft] in medias res: The Terra Ätaran
June 6th, 2009 · No Comments · Plot Seeds, RPG Bloggers Network
I’m finishing up Allein for now (though probably not permanently) with one of the many more down to earth threats the citizens have to face, long before the portal to the other worlds was discovered. Here are the devourers of earth.
CRAWLERS
The crawlers (known to the dwarves as the terra ätaran, or earth devourers) are an [...]

[Dungeoncraft Extra - Character Spotlight] Herai Ironblack, the Mage of the Mines
May 31st, 2009 · 1 Comment · Feature, RPG Bloggers Network
To help me take advantage of yesterday’s article on the Character Hooks, I asked Gamefiend of 4eTopia and At-Will to write up a character for the world of Allein that uses one of the character hooks I posted yesterday. Instead, he took one of the hooks and turned it into a story much more impressive [...]
[Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition] House Rule – Death Saves
May 24th, 2009 · 6 Comments · Game Material, RPG Bloggers Network
Why don’t death saves reward you for natural 20s? Attack rolls do, and skill checks even have an “official” house rule for it, but death saves give you the same reward whether you roll a natural 20 or a modified 21. I decided to fix that with a house rule.
1 – 10 Condition worsens, one [...]

[Dungeons and Dragons, 4th Edition] Unleash Your Inner Fox: The Kyubi Epic Destiny
April 24th, 2009 · 1 Comment · Game Material
In the most recent issue of Kobold Quarterly, there is an all new race for Dungeons and Dragons 4th Edition called the kitsune, based upon Japanese mythology. Kitsune are fox like creatures with multiple tails who can shift between fox and human forms, and the myths about them have many interesting possibilities, like the Kyubi, [...]
