Back here on Earth, I occasionally step in a pile of shit. Sometimes, it’s because someone doesn’t clean up after their dog. Other times, it’s having a run-in with toxic client at the office. Today was the latter. And since the experience is still on my mind hours later, I may as well work with…

Woot! Finally got this done. Now available on Dungeon Master’s Guild: Between The High Road & The Long Road, available for download. As with my other Dungeon Master’s Guild titles, this is a free/PWYW offering. Between The High Road & The Long Road offers 20 daytime and nighttime encounters along the Triboar Trail. As with…

A bugbear making a successful surprise attack with a morning star is capable of dealing up to 38 hit points of damage on a single attack. It could be even higher on a critical hit. To put that into perspective, a 1st level barbarian with an 18 constitution and max hit points can sustain up…

Lost Mine of Phandelver describes Reidoth as is “a gaunt, white-bearded human” male, while Phandalin And Below: The Shattered Obelisk describes the druid as “an elderly human woman with long, white hair.” Regardless of Reidoth’s pronouns, it seems both versions of the Thundertree side quest agree that the druid is old.

Sildar Hallwinter arrives in Phandalin, proudly identifying himself as an agent of the Lords’ Alliance. Only, it doesn’t go over so well, since Phandalin’s residents recall their unsettling encounters with another alliance agent: Iarno Albrek. It’s not every day a commoner gets to meet a wizard. They’re unusual and mysterious. So naturally, when Iarno Albrek…

I played D&D tonight. It was at a brewery I could walk to. I had a few hazies. I’m having a hard time stringing coherent ideas together. That means it’s time for random thoughts! Tonight, let’s think on Conyberry. +++ If you’d like to support my work, please consider checking out my supplements for Lost…

At the conclusion of yesterday’s thoughts, I floated the idea of Venomfang as a quest-giver, using the dragon’s knowledge of the nearby Neverwinter Wood as a bargaining chip to convince the party to destroy the Gulthias tree out at the Woodland Manse. For years, the tree has spawned blights, and now they are overrunning his…

When most people think of Thundertree, a young green dragon by the name of Venomfang comes to mind. But there’s a larger problem lurking within the ruins of the abandoned timber town, which is: Thundertree has a whole lot of twig blights. Twenty-four by my count. What do we know about blights? A Gulthias tree was a…
