It was three earthen years after Obad-Hai’s death, before any proper link was known to the infernal hells. Asmodeus, in his scheming, offered up the archdevil Levistus to take the fall. While the gods bickered among themselves as to the proper course of actions, more powers were drawn in, while others fell to hidden blades. The Divine War raged, they entered all the planes, and [Read the article]
I love Doctor Who quite a bit. It provides elements of fantasy, science fiction, adventure, humor and historical fiction in an almost hap-hazardously creative fashion. I also like to blend many of these genres into my Dungeons and Dragons home campaign. When one of my players approached me, saying that he wanted his new character in the campaign to be The Doctor, I assumed he meant that the character [Read the article]
How do you make a ‘good’ female character? No matter the medium, creators who reportedly make ‘good’ female characters get asked this question a whole lot…

It only makes sense that the subject of snakes can have an impact on your game. In the second week of May (9th – 15th), we’ll have a [Read the article]
Often when we name a place in a campaign setting, we pick something that “sounds cool,” whether cool is an evocative name like “Dark Skull Peak” or just a combination of sounds that sounds neat. While this will usually work fine, if you’re trying to make a given fantasy culture feel exotic or foreign, it helps to make the names of things match both the [Read the article]

This entry is based on Open Game Content by Netherworks. Read more about this collaboration, and see more interpretations, here. Fools misjudge the odd looking Calis at first sight. The odd form of bird and man can seem almost comical. While they are certainly not the smartest creatures, they should not be underestimated. Their weapons are not for show, and they follow orders with [Read the article]
I have a confession to make. This isn’t really a new monster. Much like the designers of the Monster Vault, I’ve taken a creature’s stat block from an existing product and tried to work out its flaws. I’ve renamed the creature primarily to keep the differing stats straight, but I don’t recommend using the previous stat block. The creature I am referring to is the Larva Mage, from the [Read the article]
