Hey hey! My vacation from my day job is officially a GO so that means I have more time to do the thing I love: create D&D-related content. Last night, I was looking through my Dungeon Master’s Guide and I thought to myself, “Dang, some of these optional rules are cool, but I bet they […]

10 Dungeon Master Philosophies to Live or Die By [NSFW]

10 Third Edition Books That Will (Probably) Never Get Remade

Of all the Dungeons & Dragons editions I played, I probably owned more third edition books than any. Regrettably, I sold off those books about three years ago. But I still have fond memories of some of those whacko books. Recently, I was recreating some monsters from third edition’s Libris Mortis and I got to […]

10 Rules Everyone Gets Wrong in Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition

If you’re a cranky old grognard like me, then you’re probably tired of learning a whole new ruleset every 8 years or so. It’s one thing to have learned an entire textbook’s worth of rules if you’re a player. But when you’re a DM, you need to learn three books! And probably even more. And […]
