Tabletop RPG

Welcome friends, to a land where all planes touch, and no one is really sure how it came to be.

The Unearthed Arcana Gothic Lineages that we saw this week are a cool, new -- well, sort-of-new -- idea for Dungeons and Dragons, but you may be wondering how to make use of them.

As a DM and a player I love Unearthed Arcana and the way it always brings me new things to play around with in my games.

Everyone runs their game differently, and I don't mean to even try and tell you this is the way to be a game master/DM/whatever term you use for the person who runs the game here.

Running a mystery adventure in Dungeons and Dragons can be difficult.

This isn't a post about how terrible Dungeons and Dragons is -- I think it's a fine game system for a specific kind of role playing campaign.

Yay D&D!

On Saturday, December 19, those brave souls who venture to the Blizzard Watch Twitch channel at 2:30 PM Central will witness the culmination of 16 episodes of our D&D play stream, as the party of ragtag adventurers who have gone from being trapped in a volcano lair to escaping to another dimension to returning home to find out their lives were stolen by imposters now head back to that volcano lair to destroy two horrible artifacts of a dread alien god in the unquenchable flames of another god's summer vacation home.

Last weekend, we went back to our long running D&D campaign and almost immediately found ourselves role playing a bunch, as our Dwarf Cleric Mediel and her undead Warlock cousin Malachi talked it out about how stodgy and confining Dwarven culture is, and our Tiefling Rogue Mischief found out she has three moms -- sort of -- and our Gnome Wizard Wilyur Rustspark has come to a resolution on his evil doppleganger, and our Elf Fighter Zellan really hates pirates.

Tasha's Cauldron of Everything arrived this week and like the title promises it brings a whole new book of "everything" to the D&D player.
