FrankenFourth: Druid & Fighter Playtest

Cast Merric (3rd-level human fighter) Pikala (3rd-level elf druid) Summary Merric and Pikala were hired by a village to investigate a mining village several days upstream, to figure out why the nearby river had gotten so polluted, which would probably also answer the question as to why a previous group they sent to investigate hadn’t […]

A Sundered Fragment – Art Pack II

This art pack contains all of the art from A Sundered World: Player Fragments. As with our previous three art packs, you can use the art in this pack in anything but another stock art collection (at least, not without asking us first), you can use it as much as you want, and you can edit it […]

Design & Development: The Druid

I’ve been on and off working on the druid for awhile now—mostly trying to figure out how I wanted its magic to work—and it’s at a point where we can finally playtest it (which we’ll be doing this Thursday in place of our A Sundered World campaign). Here’s what it looks like right now: Stats & Proficiencies […]

FrankenFourth: Age of Worms, Episode 509

Cast Humal (level 9 wrathful cambion wizard) Corzale (level 9 dwarf war cleric) Sumia (level 9 elf rogue/ranger) Summary As soon as Sumia finished describing as best she could the bloated amalgamation of Bozal and Kyuss worm within the room, there was a muffled groaning of metal. When she peered through the hole again the […]

Design & Development: The Nomad

I based the nomad from A Sundered World loosely on the psychoportation psion specialist from 3rd Edition’s Expanded Psionics Handbook, but rather than give it something like per-camp power points, we opted for a roll-and-hold move that lets you do things like teleport and manipulate things from a distance (including “manipulating” a sword into a creature’s […]

FrankenFourth: WIP Cover

Since people are now looking at the nearly-finalized FrankenFourth basic rules (if you’re interested leave a comment or hit us up on whatever social network thing you use), I figured it was time to work on the cover since I want something flashier than just the title. Here’s where we are so far: I’d like to cram […]

FF/ASW: The Golden Spiral Finale

Cast Asheal (level 3 ishim wizard) Hordac (level 3 tarchon battlemind) Waive (level 3 scion nomad) Summary Probably hoping to avoid another pointless massacre, Giganteos quickly clarified that the party weren’t helimorphosis volunteers, which caused Doctor Lucorum to immediately lose interest and return his focuses back to the tasks at his many hands. Giganteos explained […]

D&D Doesn’t Use Vancian Magic

On a whim I picked up Appendix N, a purchase that I’ve been questioning, borderline regretting since the first chapter on Jack Vance in which the author gets a number of things wrong, including the notion that people don’t “get” (pseudo-)Vancian magic simply because they never read The Dying Earth. Magic in The Dying Earth […]
