Continuing on the rules that I playtested this last Saturday, this article covers the rules for improved mass combat in Dungeons & Dragons Fifth Edition. This is an attempt to improve upon the mass combat rules that Wizards of the Coast released a while back, which is a little too simplified for its own good […]
Tonight, I tested out mass combat rules for Fifth Edition Dungeons & Dragons of my own design. And I must say, they played pretty well. They allowed my guys to run a battle where their side had nearly 500 fighters under their command versus an army of roughly 1,000. Wizards of the Coast already had […]
This one comes from Patron requests. Here’s what was asked: My DM HATES slings. I’d love to have a way to use slings that doesn’t totally gimp my character. Pretty weird that the guy would hate slings, but I understand weird hangups (I personally hate horses! Grrrr). I thought about it for a minute and […]
This request comes from one of my Patrons. Here’s what he requested: “Would love to see what magical cursed items under the theme of the seven deadly sins. I’m running a campaign that each sin is a mini-boss (or ally) and me and my players are having a great time with it.” Sounds awesome! With […]

Currently, I’m working on a one-shot adventure that involves a retired deaconess living in an upscale, walled estate. The adventure is scalable, meaning that it will be available to any characters at any level. At early levels, the deaconess is a priest. But once the characters become 5th-level, a priest is no longer a reasonable […]

As I continue to build out the Goblin Mine for Justin David Russell and mine’s megadelve project, The Secret of Forsaken Peak, I keep coming up with cool, new challenges to throw at the characters. Case in point: Lamarr the Necrochef. A killer and a cannibal, Lamarr is evil personified. And if that wasn’t bad […]
