We join our heroes in mid conversation at the Temple of Eris, it’s the same day they were dropped off in from the airship and left to hike into town, the crew not wishing the airship to be known yet. Biminey, Dash and assorted persons, primarily Visra’s old retinue, now Biminey’s crew are sailing above …

To steal Icosahedraphilia’s DM’s phrase, Prop Shop, I just had to share these. [FYI: Decent podcast and very 'clean' so you can actually listen to it with children in the room much unlike a lot (most?) of the rest.] Tangible potion props for inventory. I won’t tell you what they cost but let’s say sellers …

Thanks to the gods of whimsy the groups warlock, a ‘conlock’ by the name of Dra’kin died last session. Unfortunately there just wasn’t much that could be done although much like the death of Aoefel it might have been preventable. But we’ll never know. At any rate the net result is T’Balktu has joined the …

I’m going to be trying some different processing techniques on the current podcast in production. For one thing I’ve tried to remove silence gaps that are longer than a 5′ish seconds. This cuts down on the time you have to listen to ‘nothing’ and file size etc. Although I don’t have any bandwidth restrictions on …

Well I borrowed mold #85, an accessories mold from a co-worker and tried my hand at adding it to my molding rotation. I’ve found that 2 cups (58 grams of water + 186 grams of plaster x 2) of material will just fill 3 deeper molds and one floor tile mold with very little waste …

[D'oh. There is a similar kind of thing that you can find here by GreyScott. Different from mine but the spirit is the same. I like mine better but then I like my kids a lot more than other people's kids so that's not unexpected.] Barring dungeon crawls I don’t really do trivial encounters, that …

Found this post and it’s one of the better alternates for adding guns to a fantasy world that I’ve come across, not OP like many or just horrible implementations like some [the one that every shot creates a cloud of smoke cover, I’m looking in your direction, as well as the ones with a random …

It’s been brought home to me recently again just how much better your custom content can be if you spend just a little time each day between sessions thinking about what you have going on in the world, past, present and future. I can’t stress enough really that if you’re going to be creating your …

[Warning this is a rambling post that doesn't stay on topic very well or at all really...] I was explaining my style of DM’ing to someone and thought it might be something that someone else might get some usage out of. Or might just rile them up if they think differently but I’ve been riled …

After 30 a lot years of this whole roleplaying thing. Every time I type that I have images of french maid outfits. Anyway I was thinking of the ways I’ve started new campaigns over the years which lead me to the whole, how would I do it now question. I’ve literally done the a wizard …

Made a prototype of a smaller dice tower. Things to note there’s a cut out for the tower to sit in when it’s upright, makes it less like to tip over. Â This piece was made out of leftover scraps hence the odd grooves in places. I really REALLY wanted to make a folding dice tower …

I’m listening to a podcast and the group has an obvious new player into a group that’s been together for awhile. Their character is playing essentially an ass. This leads what are obvious to me listening to certain gaffes and reactions from players that match their characters and becomes almost painful to hear at times. Â …

Saw a tweet that lead me to a post that re-acquainted me with a netbook for 4th edition. I have a much earlier copy but the current version has no less than 500+ pages of community created content for 4th edition, classes, feats, paragon paths, monsters, gear and phat lewtz and all that. Highly recommended …

SPOILER ALERT!!! DO NOT READ IF YOU HAVEN’T LISTENED TO THE 10/16/09 #8 PA PODCAST AND PLAN TO – Edit: i have since learned that was in fact the end of this series of podcasts so Aoefel’s death isn’t nearly as gruntling to me. I will make a prediction that Aoefel will return as a …

I had a random thought, where exactly does an Epic level (30th) character spend 3.125 million gold for a 30th level item? That’s 31.25 TONS of gold. That’s a cube of 24k gold almost 4 FEET on each side. (roughly). So you could easily put that in a wagon. But a wagon that can hold …

Just realized through a very roundabout way that I don’t have any mention of Masterplan on here. (I was looking for the link to see if there was a recent update and my search came up empty on my site. There is an update BTW). Anyway it’s a campaign planner, has DDI integration, map maker …

Okay I ran this playtest this afternoon with my wife running the characters. The party was 6th level and comprised of a Assassin, Fighter, Warlock, Invoker and Bard. None of the characters were ‘character op’ped’. I quick built them in the Character Builder then went in and tweaked them where they needed it to make …

I found several modules in the attic while I was looking for some speakers to use for my iPhone to play, ironically enough, DnD podcasts so I don’t inadvertantly blow out the speaker on the phone. I ended up with A1-A4 the Slave Lords series, S1 Tomb of Horrors (I had Expedition to the Barrier …

Just a quick post to record my mini purchases. I use the search function of the site to keep from buying something I already have. The dragon is pretty cool and an exceptional buy at $4. The scarab swarms look like piles of coins. The scarecrows are good. The spiders of lolth look more like …
