Sorry about missing a couple of weeks–other commitments, plague, pestilence, that kind of things. I’ll try not to let it happen again (much). I’m going to ease back into things with a couple of easy tables of random magical items that you can base your next story around. Conveniently enough, Hex produces two American Artifacts…
Sometimes a game will get into a rut, with characters doing basically the same thing week in and week out. Plot gimmicks can be used to break up the monotony and sometimes even help the game shift gears. Facebook Twitter Reddit Tumblr Email
Remember when I talked about Grunt Work a few posts ago? If you haven’t done any of that yet, this is probably where your project dies. All those exciting ideas you had at the beginning have been in your head so long they’ve become boring. You’ve now read that clever thing you wrote a hundred…
Last time around, I painted in the different biomes on my map. That’s what the world looks like according to the weather patterns and random seeds and whatever else Azgaar’s Fantasy Map Generator uses to generate landforms. So the draft we’re currently working on is kind of what the planet would look like without any humans to…

Cat burglars have the experience, skills, and (most importantly) style to get the goods and get away without arousing any suspicion. The really good ones have…
July is World Anvil Summer Camp month, so I’m going to try to at least write enough prompts to get a participation badge, but since I’ve still got a lot of work left to do on The Blasphemous Temple of Yargolith, I probably wont’ have time to do much more. I’m starting big by finally…
Last time around, I talked about a problem I was running into with a disconnect between intent and interpretation when it comes to rules. Basically, since we usually think of games as “systems” where all different rules concepts are interconnected, some players assume that anything not clearly marked “optional” is essential. The truth is that…
Also Known As: “Whitey” Description: Eyewitness accounts of the White River Monster vary. Some say it’s “catfish-like,” while others describe it has having the serpent-like appearance more common to water-dwelling cryptids. Whitey has smooth, gray skin that is sometimes reported as peeling all over its body. According to one account, Whitey has a large bone…
