The Barbarian Class, Part Two

Brandes Stoddard — Tue, 18 Oct 2022 15:51:09 +0000

In the first article of this series, I left out an important item: the Oriental Adventures barbarian class. My plan for this article is to cover it as briefly as possible, then move on to 2e’s Barbarian kit (from the Complete Fighter’s Handbook) and the Complete Barbarian’s Handbook. Just for completeness, I’ll also touch on the Berserker and Savage kits. I’m also covering the Amazon kit, even though… yikes, in 72-point font. Part One | Part Two Oriental Adventures 1e […]

Christmas Themed Adventures

A few years ago, I went looking for a Yule/Holiday/Christmas one-shot adventures for D&D 5th edition. I wasn’t surprised to see there wasn’t a ton of content out there, but each year more and more is getting created. Also, there is plenty of good stuff there for previous editions. Here is the list of what I was able to find for various editions of D&D and other tabletop RPGs. If an adventure you love to run (or even wrote yourself) […]

Greyhawk-Forestscape-Fellreev

Blake Ryan — Wed, 21 Aug 2019 04:02:05 +0000

This 20 by 20 mile Forest area has been designed to slot into the forest of Fellreev on Greyhawk, but can be used for other northern temperate-cold climate forests. Notes about the region : In Greyhawk this forest area would be in the south west Fellreev forest in the Horned Society lands. During the Greyhawk Wars much of this area was explored and trashed by the various humanoids and fiends who serve the demi god Iuz. Factions : Bugbears, Mercenaries […]

Overview In the north west of the Flanaess lie the arid Yecha Hills. Between the nations of Tusmit and Tiger Nomad lands, the Yecha Hills have long been known to ancient Baklunish and Oeridarian tribes. There are several Gnome communities within the central hills, and Baklunish monks have established monasteries on the western side of the hills several centuries ago. Hot winds are frequent in the Dry Crag valleys, in contrast to the Bramble Caves which are very still, and […]

Greyhawk-Shadowfell

Blake Ryan — Wed, 17 Jul 2019 04:01:49 +0000

Today we look at sprinkling your Greyhawk games with a dash of the Shadowfell, aka plane of Shadow. The Shadowfell is that dark mirror of the prime material (normal world) that leaks into it during twilight, and in the dark places of the Underdark. Outcomes are slightly bleaker, the weather is damper and colder, colors are just slightly duller. Ways to make an area be more like the Shadowfell : Arcane magic corrupts the environment, adding the scent of death […]

Greyhawk-Feywild

Blake Ryan — Wed, 10 Jul 2019 04:03:46 +0000

Today we talk about flavouring your Greyhawk based games with the Feywild, aka the Faerie realm. The Feywild is that wondrous place that tickles and terrifies the mortal realm with its delights and strange visitors. Part Alice in Wonderland, Part Brothers Grimm, Part Willow (movie), the Feywild is the home of many capricious and fickle creatures. In many ways the Feywild resembles the prime material (regular world) but things weather can change more rapidly, magic can twisted or just have […]

Greyhawk Cities – Eru Tovar

Blake Ryan — Wed, 03 Jul 2019 04:27:11 +0000

Greyhawk is the original campaign world for Gary Gygax, with stories focusing on the lands of Flanaess, the heroes and villains that inhabit it. Wolf Nomads have skilled cavalry and ambushers. Politeness is key with Wolf Nomads, who forgive but do not forget rudeness. Wolf Nomads have tolerance for Lycanthropes who control their bestial nature, and exile those who cannot. They are considered chosen, with the context of blessed and cursed. Eru Tovar is fortified village of huts with a […]
