Forty years ago this month (as far as we can work out), Gary Gygax and Dave Arneson first advertised that the Lake Geneva Tactical Studies Association had “released its set of fantasy campaign rules (Dungeons and Dragons)”.

The Eyes of the Stone Thief campaign pits the player characters against a vengeful Living Dungeon that steals things from the surface.

(If they succeed at an appropriate skill check, of course!) Talents such as Swashbuckle, […]
The Witch by Christopher J. Ferguson OVERVIEW Mortals reach out to their gods through faith. But faith has a darker underside. Those who do not find succor through the established temples may turn to priestesses and priests who work outside the church hierarchy. These witches, as they are often called, are an alternate channel to […]
By Mark Craddock 13th Age and the Archmage Engine that drives it has become the clear frontrunner for most of my gaming needs since I got in on the Second Escalation Edition. However, I run many games for both my kids and new players, and sometimes I want something leaner. That’s how I came to […]
