Appendix N: Big Screen Fantasies

Let’s be honest, if you’re looking for  bit of cinematic inspiration in the fantasy genre, as in sword and sorcery, you’ll be hard-pressed to find much worth while. Oh, sure, one could point to Peter Jackson’s Middle-Earth hexalogy or HBO’s adaptation of George R.R. Martin’s A Song of Ice & Fire, both of which are…

Last Barrel Night

About a year ago, my players retired their 20th level characters. We’d been playing three and a half years, give or take, with them. In that time they fought a Dragon War, tussled with demons, dealt with a time traveling halfling, teleported all over the multiverse, and threw down with Orcus himself. It was a…

What had you covered?

Now here’s a meme I can get behind. Do you remember when you first played Dungeons & Dragons? I sure do. It was December of 1978. So, want to try something fun? Use the power of google and type Dragon Magazine, followed by the month and year you first slung dice. Here’s mine. Some of…

Illusory Script: Roll ’em if ya got ’em

I’m a big fan of novelty t-shirts but I’ve always found ones related to Dungeons & Dragons to be… less than inspired. The Dragon Ampersand is a classic, and anything depicting the original art is wonderful, but outside of that, not much else. This one, however, I like. Available through Amazon, the “Roll ‘Em If…

It is set in the medieval Kingdom of Bohemia, an Imperial State…

“Spiders don’t have treasure”

Our “No Quarter” Playtest continues. Here’s a brief summary of what happened in our past two sessions: After a harrowing battle with Mercer forces inside Blackmoor Keep, the party was torn. They had uncovered some intriguing artifacts from the ruin, and even more intriguing intelligence. It seems the Mercers were launching a campaign against the…

The Dúnadan makes a wish

His name is Aragorn, son of Arathorn, sometimes called the Dúnadan, Longshanks, Wingfoot, Elessar Telcontar, Envinyatar, Estel, or Thorongil. But to me, he is just Strider and I fell in love with the character when I was a wee lad of 12 or so when I first cracked open The Fellowship of the Ring. Today…
