Weird lore and gonzo mechanics for your RPG pleasure!
This is the basic premise of J.M. Perkin’s Salt in Wounds. A long time ago, a group of “heroes” and their armies took down the infamous and immortal Tarrasque after a long and bloody battle. The creature, however, refused to die as its regenerative powers continued even after its apparent “death.” Through ritual and powerful magics, […]
Never feed your Familiar after midnight So back in good old 2014, Arnold K. informed us all that we were doing familiars wrong. There are many other bloggers who have done good work with Familiars, perhaps my other favorite of which is James’ work on Ten Foot Polemic. Because I’ve gone off the deep end […]

Driftwood or treant corpse? So, I’ve gone off the deep end and I’ve decided to start an attempt to create a pointcrawl, having no personal experience running a hexcrawl, a pointcrawl, or even creating my own dungeon from scratch! So I’ve decided to create something based upon my home area in the Low Country region […]
Created and submitted by Monsieur le Battlier with editing and suggestions by myself. GLOG Wizard: RADIOMANCER “Oh well. We’ll try again tomorrow.” Wizards excel at pushing open the creaking door of Mother Nature’s toolshed and plundering it for things that look sharp and make a lot of noise when you put in gasoline. However, some […]
