Ok, fun HTML. For those of you who made orders through email because the Store wasn’t working properly, I apologize. I also apologize to those who skipped making an order altogether. In a way, the Store page getting messed up was kind of a blessing – because it forced me to redo it (and I like it better this way). Now witness the firepower of [Read the article]
The night-sky was overcast, with lightning striking the surrounding hills. The elves of the White Owls had closed their village gate and pulled up their rope-ladders. There was no rain that night, but the thunder was still enough to keep most inside. After the thundering storm died down, Mother Pearl stepped out of her tree hut to breathe in some fresh air and listen to [Read the article]
Sorry, but my WordPress “upgrade” blew up my theme. Everything is still here (posts and pages), but I have to hunt for a new theme (damn it! I liked that one!). Hold tight, it’ll get done within a couple of hours. But hey, the contest is still open! See the post below.
*UPDATE* This contest is closed. I’ve said it before – I love contests, especially when they’re free. Win these large-sized drakes, either as monsters to fight or beasts to ride. All you have to do is leave a comment of your best idea for a character concept, adventure, encounter, NPC, enemy or monster. It’s just like the last contest, except this time you only need [Read the article]
Tired of characters lugging around magic items as if they were mundane pieces of gear? This article will fix that, assuming you adopt the Classic Fantasy setting and apply it to your campaign. In this article, you’ll see how different types of characters gain the benefits of a normally 4e magic-equipped character, without actually carrying around all those magic items. Now, magic items are truly [Read the article]
It’s time to announce the winners for the Minotaur contest! Before we begin, let me throw a couple of things out there. First, none of the Steal This… entries from the authors of Stuffer Shack were considered; only readers. Secondly, none of the pictures accompanying the entries had any influence; only content was considered. Now, with that being said, here they are: 3rd place wins [Read the article]
I once introduced a magic item to the group, gave it a name, gave it a backstory, impressed how the item was somehow important, and then gave it to a player character. Before the end of the session, the player was trying to get rid of it so that he could get two other magical items. So, magic in 4E is plentiful. I can dig it. [Read the article]
I’ve always liked the idea of the bard, not because of what he can do in terms of game mechanics, but because of what he can do in the game. Simply expanding the perception of the bard just a little bit can greatly expand the gamer’s experience. Let’s take a look at the two most traditional roles a bard can assume in any fantasy setting: [Read the article]
This Contest has ended. See the results! Last month I put up a contest allowing for readers to win a free huge-sized minotaur. All you have to do is submit either a character background, adventure or encounter idea, NPC, monster, or enemy (see the Steal This… page for examples). Well, so far I’ve gotten a lot of compliments on the site, but few contest entries. [Read the article]
Quetsen Sisten, like most hunter Ferrenai, clings to the traditions of old. He makes his own clothing, his own weapons, and hunts for his his own meals. Even though he is a slave that has risen to the status of Head Trustee, he still prefers to be waited on by no one. Though he is a grateful, humble slave, he is still a hunter at heart.
