A Sundered World: Elves, Enthollows, and Bombards

I had planned on posting some elf drawings today, but ran into a problem concerning the look of them, namely that I’m not sure what they are “supposed” to look like: do they look like people with pointed ears (like you’d expect from D&D/Tolkien), or are they more animal and/or plant-like? If I hit up […]

A Sundered World: Cthon Sketches

As I mentioned a few days ago I’ve been talking with people about artists, and yesterday I reached out to a few of them, letting them know how many illustrations I was looking for, as well as the general content for each: landscapes, creatures, scenes, etc. I’m still waiting on responses from a few of […]

The Trollfens: Ghost Town

Heroes Alys Raine (Marshall, Manor of Ravens) Lindel (Stalker, Crown of Destiny) Ravaella Lightfoot (Conjurer, Shadow of Nerekhall) Summary Since it’s just the two of us right now, we decided to give one of the The Trollfens mini-campaign from Descent a shot. Initially she tried with just two heroes, but after a swift and crushing defeat Melissa […]

A Sundered World: Island Sketches

Given that A Sundered World is the somewhat stabilized result of numerous collapsed planar realities and accompanying rules, the word island has changed to become a kind of catch-all term that includes—for starters—chunks of rock, metal, ice, or bone, a cluster of root-entangled trees or ships that have been tied together, a massive creature, the […]

Dungeon World: Soloing the Cinder Queen

Cast Ivan (human invoker of some god of the ocean) Brana (dwarf warrior hireling) Clotilda (human protector hireling) SPOILER WARNING: If you are going to be playing this adventure any time soon, I’d stop here.I got my physical copy of Servants of the Cinder Queen a few days ago (a Kickstarter project on time? GASP!), and since […]

Dungeon World: A Better Bard

You might have heard that outside of 4th Edition I’m not much of a bard fan. I generally don’t have much of a complaint when it comes to Dungeon World: I’m not a fan of the alignment or races being limited by class, but it did manage to improve on some stuff, like the wizard (it’s much more Vancian). […]

Descent: Forgotten Souls Review

We were supposed to get our internet upgraded up this week (as well as many previous weeks), but apparently Outreach has a pretty lax attitude about doing things. Of course when you’re the only ISP that won’t charge someone over $130 per month for a tenuous satellite signal with a monthly 20Gb download cap, you […]

Super Dungeon Explore: Meet the Heroes, Part 2

It’s been quite some time since I talked about (and unfortunately even played) Super Dungeon Explore, but I finally found and unpacked all of the board games at our new place, which means… …we just have to wait for our internet service provider to actually get out here, and upgrade our internet to a speed that allows […]

A Sundered World: Nomad Preview

So, kept forgetting that this thing needed to get done (despite the fact that I mention nomads being useful for navigating the astral and getting away from corpse stars). The high concept is that this is a space-folding psychic type, based in large part on the psychoportation discipline from from 3rd Edition Dungeons & Dragons (in […]
