I’ve become mildly fascinated lately with watching videos of folks crafting extensive custom gaming environments – dungeon tiles, landscapes, fancy gaming tables, and the like. I see a lot that I’d really like to try, but for every single project I look at I also see limitations in layout, re-use, practicality, and visibility. It’s all […]

I mentioned elsewhere that my family picked up the 5th Edition D&D Starter Set over the holidays, partly because we wanted to diversify into something more fantasy-oriented without me having to go through the effort of creating a whole meta-universe inside of Mighty Protectors to do so (again!) and partly just to take advantage of
Over the holidays I managed to carve out time to “finish” the MPGen tool by adding the ability to download a spreadsheet-based character sheet. The base sheet is of my own design and intended to be simple and compact and is therefore possibly not very pleasant to look at or useful. The official character sheet

Gaming has fallen to the wayside just a little with the holiday season going on (and with me giving in and buying the latest Assassin’s Creed game), but we’ll be getting back into it soon. There will be a little bit of RPG-related loot under the tree this year, too: I’ve given in to the
I mentioned a while back about a visit to a place south of Dover called Born to Game. Its gaming selection was Warhammer-, Pathfinder-, and card-game- heavy – none of which I’m presently into – and it was also a comic shop with a pretty good selection. (Sadly, I weaned myself off of regular comic
As characters approach the Stormfort they can see its three tiers from the distance. A wide open gate leads to a wide first level from which rises an outcropping with a smaller secondary keep built on top. From there extends a tall, narrow tower, the windows of whose top room emit a glow bright enough

As a leader among the secretive sect known as Deus Rex, Charles Coughlin believes he is destined to rule over a holy empire on Earth. For him, that end justifies any means – including the study of dark, sorcerous arts. For a time, Coughlin wore a magical native American headdress – a powerful artifact that
Now that the PCs have acquired the three keys necessary to open the sealed entrance, they must venture through the dwarven city of Birn Tharin to reach their ultimate destination, the Stormfort. “Birn Tharin? It’s been closed from this side of the mountains for centuries, but rumors come sometimes from travelers who’ve visited the far

As characters depart for this destination, Tunaan says, “As a rule the dark elves seldom dwell above ground because they hate the sunlight. But they needed a fortress in a strategic location with a safe harbor for trade, and that location was unfortunately ringed in swampland which made cave delving impossible. So they built a

For this session I wanted to try out the Pathfinder Flip Tiles I mentioned having bought recently. Prepping the map for this one involved playing with the tiles while nobody was around, and taking a photo of the layout I decided to go with. Then I opened the photo up in a paint program and
