The Crawling Fane Review

A level 3 adventure for the Chaos Scar adventure path, The Crawling Fane pits the characters against a duergar named Hargash who fled his home city to avoid being killed for worshipping a bizarre, vermin-based god named Chitteruk. “Chitteruk” is in fact a made-up god created by the meteor in order to get Hargash working for […]

The Slaying Stone Review

The Slaying Stone is part of the second run of sequential adventure modules by Wizards of the Coast. I almost never run these things, but I’d heard it was better than the others and it was cheaper. The other appealing feature is that its a booklet and not a folder, something I appreciate because it makes them easier […]

Neria, Elf Pursuing Avenger

Was trying to make a tiefling avenger that I’d actually wanna play, and decided on an Eberron elf avenger that would be tasked by the Undying Council to go do shit on Khorvaire.

Class Acts: Artificer

This Class Acts article ties in racial traits with artificer class features, mostly focusing on the various effects of Healing Infusion: curative admixture, resistive formula, and shielding elixir. For example, Astral Elixer causes shielding infusion to grant resist 5 radiant, and the target can end the effect to gain a variable bonus to a save. On the other […]

Elans 4e

I cant deny that I have always been intrigued by psionics since the first day that I heard about them back in the 3.0 days, but i never got a chance to play as one until the expanded psionic handbook came out and i made my first elan psychic warrior. I have always liked the elans, and thats […]

Player’s Strategy Guide Review

Player’s Strategy Guide is a just-shy-of 160 pages advisory on how to make a D&D character and play the game well. As far as I know its Wizards second foray into a kind-of character tutorial book, the first one being Hero Builders Handbook from 3rd Edition which I only used for randomly generating a character background when I […]

Token Making

A while back, my group and I decided to buy miniatures. Well, it didn’t work for us at all. Nowadays, it seems that buying miniatures is a luxury for people who wish to use them for their campaign. In the end, we decided to go digital by using Google Sketchup and someone’s huge ass screen as […]

Winning Races: Shifter

Keith, you magnificent bastard. Technically this article is great for shifters in general, but I think that its especially thematic for Eberron players. Eberron has been my prefabbed setting of choice since Planescape, so its both not surprising and a delight that he has written an article on urban shifters. About half of the article is fluff content […]

Garret, Halfling Ranger

Wanted to make a thematic Talenta halfling from Eberron. Alternatively you can just take Mounted Combat and pick up a dinosaur with any class.

Running Keep on the Shadowfell, Part 2

I’m just going to fast-forward to the part where the group actually got to the dragon burial site, as the events that transpired between Winterhaven and there are best forgotten. All that needs to be said is that they “got” a kobold cleric on their side, partially because Liz (playing a drow assassin) wanted one and […]
