A hard-hearted elf-lord holds court in the wood. Lord Viridian once ruled most of Oxia and lusts for it back, but the centuries have winnowed his subjects to just 141 elves and...

A dried lakebed here, still dark from the memory of water. Hoodoos adorn the edge like eyelashes, or teeth. Wind whips through the stone like wailing. Rumors in a nearby...

IntroductionThis session was just the Donenashoe Three: Marcus Musen, Mrs. Cranberry, and Dog Doggins. All three were quite well-heeled and with ample cash to burn, so much of...

IntroductionBugbears bugbears bugbears! This session I ran Demon Driven to the Maw as a sort of liminal dreamspace created by the bugbears for... some purpose. I love this...

Hex a day entries for June 6-7 2026. I've been using the Wolves hexfill for these, and "animal behavior" has been a particular challenge. I'm happy with the result here. I also...

IntroductionSome setting-mechanic work for an OD&D game I hope to run in the near future. I've been alternately calling it “Oops All Magic Systems” and “Tigers Upon the...

Gort the Lethargic, a giant toad, resides in a bog formed where snowmelt drains off a nearby mountain. It’s said that he is a man who dreamed he was a toad, or perhaps a toad...

A single yurt hunkered down in the midst of the plains. Five horses hitched, grazing idly on grasses that wave around the yurt like a river around a stone. Borys, a former...

A ruined roadside blockhouse bakes in the hot sun. Much of it was blown apart by some Crisis-era explosion; the rest, away by desert winds. It still makes for an attractive...

A modest stone fort hugs the rocky edge of a large arid basin. 150 Imperial soldiers wait patiently for relief that will never come. Their leader is the graying Captain Elm...

I've been meaning to get a daily hexfill practice going for awhile, to get fluent with OD&D procedures via Delving Deeper. This will be the first of the bunch, a classic ogre...

Joining WW’s Sex Bandwagon ooh la la… A number of artifacts presented for your delectation. Most of these involve anxiety, vows, or shame, which I'm sure doesn't mean anything....

IntroductionNothing I love more than a classic big table. We had a lot of interest this week, which made up for not meeting quorum on May 5. Naturally, this was the one time I...

IntroductionRan this session from behind a KN-95 following a pretty rough week of illness. However, it was worth the wait: the table brewed their first orc! This has been...

IntroductionSmallest session yet to fire with just two players! We made it work, using yet another of the inimitable ktrey's Dolmenwood Dozen. These have been so useful for...

IntroductionTwo for one session report! Splitting up a dungeon crawl for the gang. I tend to not to like leaving in the middle of the dungeon in this manner, but it's linear...

A sequel to my magic blades! There is little I love more than a good old-fashioned whacking stick. My favorite weapon in Dark Souls has always been the reinforced club. Of...

IntroductionA short but eventful one today! The band returns to the Caves of Chaos for a good old-fashioned search and destroy mission. I have long had the orcs ready to go, so...

Special shout-out to Jenx of Gorgonbones, whose Stonehell goblins play with similar themes. And for being such a hype man for this campaign! IntroductionGoblins are an invasion...

A quick writing exercise on a Saturday morning. These can be applied to any sword or dagger, and are broadly compatible with any old school fantasy dungeon game. The effects...

IntroductionCatching up on BwtB play reports as I’m coming off a brief vacation! I’m working on a few side projects at the moment, specifically a megadungeon with the working...

IntroductionOut of arrears on my DCC reports! Non-RPG things have been busy of late and it’s been hard to sit down and find the time. It does feel nice to do so much reflection...

IntroductionI must be the first guy to ever run a Wolves Upon the Coast hex in a Dungeon Crawl Classics Keep on the Borderlands game… Since I've had Boasting with the Boys on...

IntroductionBade farewell to two of my mainstay players due to scheduling changes! I first ran a game for them when they were teenagers at another game store. It was a 5e...

IntroductionShort session and report here. I always have had a soft spot for this type of expedition—the players identify a very specific goal that they assume is somewhere...

IntroductionHalf a year of Crow’s Keep! I’m thrilled at how long it’s run and how well it’s been received. We even had a new player this session. Befitting this milestone, the...
