Chamomile, that guy whose books I often review, has done something pretty awesome. When I was originally getting into publishing stuff, the biggest drawback was a lack of easily accessible art. A lot of this blog uses Pexels free art, and a lot of my published stuff uses public domain art or the D&D BeyondContinue reading “Chamomile Has Illustrations”

Tiered Subclass: Variant
Spawned from another 5e gripe session, the Tiered Subclass Variant came about as an attempt to solve a few 5e complaints I have. Primarily, 5e characters don’t get a lot of choices when they level up, especially late games. Secondarily, some subclasses are effective but boring. Picking other options feels bad from an optimization standpoint,Continue reading “Tiered Subclass: Variant”
Deck of Many Quests: Review
The Deck of Many Quests is something I’ve been searching for years. I’ve asked for it at game shops and gotten sideways glances and pointed to Dungeon Crawl Classics more times than I can count. DCC is a fine series, but it’s not really similar. The Deck of Many Quests generates short, 3-5 sentence plotContinue reading “Deck of Many Quests: Review”
Devil’s Advocate: Review
Devils have long been a favorite fantasy monster of mine, and especially the dealmaker archtype. Most fantasy games usually spend some lip service towards the idea that one could make a deal with the devil, but there’s rarely mechanical rules with impact for doing so. Most often, it’s handled offscreen or by DM fiat. IContinue reading “Devil’s Advocate: Review”
Goodliness, Godliness, and Dragons
Soapbox time. An ongoing gripe of mine, is the seemingly constant confusion around what good, godliness, and gods mean in D&D. See, many folks assume D&D works like Christianity, and the only difference is God is now the gods. The gods made the world, people who do good things get to go to a GoodContinue reading “Goodliness, Godliness, and Dragons”

Primal magic allows characters to tap into the foundational energy of nature. These characters take on aspects of their animal and plant brethren, past or present, and use their abilities.

3.5 House Rules
I mention that I often run 3.5 games, and we have reached an era where I can’t just assume everyone has played before. This leads to interesting conversations with folks who hear about the cool stuff I’m talking about and want to try it themselves. 3e is also notorious for DMs with reams and reamsContinue reading “3.5 House Rules”
