Holy crap! It’s my tenth installment of the Deities of Valt! Since Spring requested it, I present the deity of Allista Renger. Honestly, I hadn’t given much thought to which of the many deities of Valt that Allista would worship. In the end, as I searched it over, this was really the only choice for [...]

D&D and Vampires.
Posted in Commentary, tagged D&D, Dungeons and Dragons, Homemade on September 29, 2010 | 1 Comment »
So help me, I will do my best to get through this entire post without a single ‘Twilight’ reference. Not because I have any kind of love, loyalty, or respect for the series. No, its because Stephenie Meyer is a Mormon, and I’m afraid of Danites. Okay, so name me three vampires from Dungeons and [...]
Game Props, hook horrors, and the Underdark
Posted in Commentary, tagged D&D, Dungeons and Dragons, Underdark on September 28, 2010 | 2 Comments »
I love game props. Letters that are meant to have been written in character, maps, the whole shebang. For a long time, I have wanted to run a Deck of Many Things encounter using an actual Tarot deck. So, along comes Spring. Not only does my lovely-and-adoring-girlfriend-yet-wife-to-be have a Tarot deck, she has two! So [...]

If anyone wants a specific deity (either one I have mentioned, or one you are sure exists) then holla out! The biggest roadblock to me posting stuff is not knowing if people are even interested in it. So if you have something you want to see, lemme know! Ugorcil (oo-GORE-sill) The Unmaker, the Patient One, [...]
Glaschilde’s Gauntlet

I have already received at least one question about the magical glove that Gurdren Whitecowl wears. So, without further ado, I present to you the first artifact that Spring has seen (used) in a game: Glaschilde’s Gauntlet These gloves were created by a powerful mage named Glaschilde. Unlike most artifacts, its creator is well [...]
The Unexpected

Many times, I have heard people comment that I run a good game. To be honest, I think that’s true. But I didn’t get that way by being talented. My first games were terrible. I got to be a good DM by being a very bad one, and learning from my mistakes. One [...]

On riddles…
Posted in Game Summations, tagged D&D, Dungeons and Dragons, Homemade on September 5, 2010 | 6 Comments »
So, during the last game session, my players got to face down the old standby of all DM’s. No, not orcs with grenade launchers. Riddles. So, for the pleasure of my audience, I thought I would post those riddles here. And so, here we go. 1. What king can you make if you combine the [...]
No more kid gloves.

Good game today. I learned a couple of somethings today. One, the Lasher prestige class from Sword and Fist is pretty sweet, although it is better suited as a support role, with a big nasty fighter in front of it. And two, Nycaloths are badass. Now, a lot of monsters have to be field-tested in D&D. You [...]
Law and Disorder

In the gaming justice system, there are two separate and distinct organizations. The writers who create the game rules, and the dungeon masters who enforce them. These are their stories. Well, one of their stories, at any rate… BUM-BUM ba ba ba ba BUM… I wish I had an intro song with cool saxophone [...]
